Dr. McClanahan is the best dentist in San Diego. He is kind, patient and honest. I was blessed to be referred to him by a friend after so many years of disasters from other dentists and a bankruptcy from what they charge. His staff are very nice and make you feel safe, cared for and comfortable. Dr. McClanahan is an angel sent to save lives and give hope to people who suffer from bad teeth. God bless you. Thank you!

I have dental phobia and the staff and Dr McClanahan's office are very kind and patient. I have had multiple great experiences with their conscious sedation resolving numerous dental issues for over a year and a half of services. Their prices are reasonable and extras that aren't needed are not added on when you are on a budget. I'm very thankful to the entire staff and highly recommend.

I have been seeing Dr McClanahan for the past year and a half and have no complaints. I have a phobia of going to the dentist but with sedation dentistry I am totally comfortable. He is a great dentist. His work is professional and he personally telephones me to follow up the day following my appointment. My experience with him and his staff has been very pleasant. The office and dental suites are sparkling clean. My cousin and her husband recommended Dr McClanahan, he's been there dentist for many years now. I'm glad I took their suggestion.

Dr. McClanahan has done significant work on my mouth. I have always had extreme dental anxiety. Dr. McClanahan and his staff have made me feel so comfortable and check-in on all of my concerns. My smile hasn't looked so good in years. My mouth hasn't felt this good in years. Thank you to Dr. McClanahan and all his staff. You are worth every penny! I'm glad I have a place I know does honest work and is trustworthy.

My daughter has always been terrified of the dentist and also snakes. She found Dr Decker while attending college in San Diego. He's been her dentist since 2014. Believe me if she likes him and goes back I can assure you he is not only a great dentist but also is able to sedate her enough so she has no memory of the procedures, She's since graduated SDSU and is living in San Fransisco she won't change dentist and makes the trip to San Diego to see Dr Decker.

I recently saw a dentist in my neighborhood and was left feeling skeptical. The fee schedule seemed extremely high and work he said was needed for my Husband and I just didn't sit well with me. A co-worker referred me to Dr. McClanahan. She said he is the absolute best and she would never go anywhere else. I now see why she is so loyal. Dr. McClanahan and all the staff I met were great. I arrived not knowing what work I needed. (I had a feeling what the previous dentist said I needed wasn't actually the case) He looked at each tooth and came up with a treatment plan that fit my budget and worked within the scope of my dental insurance. I chose laughing gas instead of complete sedation. It helped me feel calm and relaxed and I was able to put complete trust in Dr. McClanahan and his assistant. I had 5 amalgam fillings removed and replaced with composite. It was less painful (and scary) than I thought it would be. The following week I was still having some pain and they fit me on their schedule right away to take care of the problem. (my 'bite' was off - no big deal and it was corrected within a half hour) If you are looking for a gentle Dentist with a caring nature, friendly staff and reasonable prices - look no further than Dr. McClanahan. You'll be glad you did! Much like my co-worker, I will never go anywhere else for my Dentistry needs.

I think Drs. Decker and McClanahan's office staff are fantastic. They are always helping you if you have a question or a problem. The Doctor's are the best. I will never go anywhere else for dental problems. I always feel very comfortable with all the staff and doctors. Cudos to a great facility.

Dr. Decker! Hands down is the best honest dentist that I have ever been to. I'm glad I finally found a dental office that I love and now my teeth will always be perfect thanks to him and his wonderful staff. The front office staff is just as awesome.

Dr. Decker and his staff are professional, kind, and caring. I have been with Dr Decker for several years. My anxiety of going to the dentist has dropped dramatically. He is patient, kind, chatty- helps distract me during treatment. I never need to wait, they are able to get me in and out so I can get back to work. Best business find since moving back to San Diego.
