Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

High end dentistry with a friendly staff
The moment you walk through the door you will be wooed with their beautiful office. Within a few minutes I was whisked away to receive a deep cleaning with state of the art equipment. Then within an hour I had a filling replaced, a temporary crown installed, and had Invisalign attachments placed all with attention paid to the most minute details of each procedure. Throughout the entire appointment I never felt discomfort and was delighted with friendly conversation. It was hands down the most impressive dental appointment I’ve ever had.

The best visit to a dentist office ever.
The moment I exited the elevator I felt welcomed. I was a bit concerned but everyone in that suite made me feel wonderfully well. Everyone. Thank you. I will be back soon and looking forward to seeing the same professional smiling faces. God bless

Implant Consultation
I just visited with Dr. Chotiner to review my options for issues with implants from another Dr. and an issue with a bridge. I found him to be very knowledgeable and accommodating. He spent a lot of time with me reviewing my options. And I’m currently considering those options. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Chotiner.

Wisdom teeth removal
Honestly I left feeling so traumatized and defeated. I understand everyone involved in the procedure was educated & skilled but as the patient I felt unheard and treated like a number rather than a person. Everyone acted like just because they said I wasn’t supposed to be in pain I wasn’t and that was not the case. I explained I am sensitive on one side more than the other and the surgeon ripping my head from on side of the chair to the other was a lot for me only for him to act like it wasn’t a big deal and I was overreacting. Even if he felt that way I thought it was really hurtful to have someone make me feel like that especially after surgery. I expressed I was nervous and traveling I did not want to deal with feeling the pain and the doctor still gave me nothing insisting I wouldn’t need anything yet I’m in so much pain on the trouble side. Overall really bad experience

Dr. Nice and Nicole, front office smiles
I enjoyed my first visit here. The staff were incredibly friendly and all smiles. I was offered a cleaning immediately after my exam, a practice I truly appreciate. When I needed to leave early and reschedule the cleaning portion, it was not a problem at all. Five stars

My experience at this office yesterday was dismal. I went to have my teeth cleaned. "The machine" came into play and they took extensive x-rays, making me feel they were looking to do major dental work. I told the young woman that I only wanted a cleaning. That did not matter. The young women focused on everything but cleaning. When the young woman to clean my teeth entered, she complained of fatigue, could not stand, had to sit. After stabbing me twice with her very pointed tool, once above my upper lip and a second time in my gums, and after having just started on the cleaning behind my lower incisors, she declared the job done, took out the floss and wanted to dismiss me. She had not touched 4/5 of my teeth. I do not understand how this office can garner 5 star ratings from anyone. The employee for cleaning I dealt with is incompetent.

Dr. Chotiner is hands down the best dentist that I have ever seen. I have used him for 20 years. He takes an extremely thoughtful approach and is very detail oriented. I highly recommend Coastal Dental Arts.

Dr. Chotiner recommended treatments on my first visit so that I would have a Hollywood smile. Unfortunately, the cost would not be covered by my insurance and the treatments would cost a fortune. My previous dentist never recommended these treatments. I have regularly gone every six months to the dentist for my entire life. I will be looking for another dentist.

Everyone in the office is capable and kind. Dr. Chotiner has a well reasoned philosophy of care and diagnosis which he explains quickly and clearly so that patients understand and are empowered to make decisions . I like this style immensely and he is now our family dentist!

I just got back from Dr. Chotiner's after having a cleaning. The hygienist may have been the best ice ever had and I'm old at 54yo. They have a relaxing environment there. For me it was a 10 out of 10 experience! Phil

My experience is that Dr. Chotiner and his staff are highly proficient and have sincere concern for their patients. The doctor recommended to have a look under a bridge. I was going to put it off because I was not feeling any pain. After Dr Chotiner expressed real concern, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. What he found underneath was a rotting tooth and was able to perform a root canal in his office. His concern more than likely saved me money. I highly recommend Dr Chotiner.
