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.

Personalized & Compassionate Care
Dr MacPherson and her staff are all very patient and compassionate. I have a hard time getting numb for dental work and have very sensitive gums. She always uses topical numbing gel and after giving numbing shots, she tests with air to make sure I’m numb before starting any work. It has taken up to an hour to get me numb and she is always very patient. She takes the time to learn about your history and get to know you which has made me feel much more comfortable. Her dental hygienist is also very gentle and uses numbing gel on me as well, which I appreciate. I highly recommend her and her team.

Bad service
Bad service if anything more complicated than teeth cleaning. Say goodbye to your money.

New partials
Professional, very competent. New partials fit well and are easy to maintain.

I had to pay a lot of money upfront. Results are extremely poor with complications. I was referred for unnecessary expensive outside consultations only to learn what I already had known because the doctor would refuse to provide services if I won't see the specialist. Ended up with more problems that I had before the treatment.

I went to Dr MacPherson to have my temporary teeth redone. I met Dr MacPherson several years ago as a board member for the Dental society. I was hurt by a local dentist and Dr. MacPherson voted in my favor. I am several years into completing my teeth based upon screw ups, and health issues. I paid Dr MacPherson over one thousand dollars to do exam and mock up temporaries. The mock up was terrible, they were exactly as my teeth were then, no restructuring of the bite, length etc. the plan was to have her complete the job, when the bite was stable and corrected. I complained that the mock up's were not good. The price for 13 new temporaries was $10,000.00. After my complain, she refused to see me anymore and DID NOT RETURN my thousand dollars. I even met with her and her office manager, she refused to keep me as a patient stating she thought I should drive from San Diego to Loma Linda for dental work. She was such a total disappointment.

Dr. Macphearson is good, but her office coordinator, Victoria, is volatile and condescending. I was on the phone with Ashley and asked her to leave a message for Victoria to tell her the status of my insurance. Everything was fine when I got off the phone with Ashley. I called back because Victoria didn't call me and it was close to closing. I simply said "hi Victoria" and she proceeded to scream at me and degrade me, she said she was exhausted with me and basically saying I waste her time.
