February 15, 2025Dr. Pokala has been wonderful since we were first introduced to her dental office several years ago. She is incredible with children, and I have... read more appreciated her patience and careful consideration while explaining procedures/treatment plans to both my children and myself as their parent. I feel her top priority is each child's safety and comfort. She has been very thorough to ensure all of my children's needs are met, including their psychological wellbeing throughout visits and procedures. Dr Pokala has proven herself to be extremely knowledgeable and skilled as well as highly qualified and specialized working well with children on the Autism Spectrum. The offices themselves provide several accommodations for all children in the waiting room and during procedures/cleanings that have increased both of my children's comfort levels and helped to create positive experiences. Additionally, every dental hygienist/technician we have worked with over the years appeared to be exceedingly qualified, very considerate of children and explanative throughout the visit. We feel fortunate to have discovered their offices and travel over an hour to our appointments believing Dr. Pokala is truly the best dentist for our family in San Diego County.
