Maricela M. Simmons, D.D.S.

I’m so impressed with Dr. Simmons and her team. I went in yesterday for a cleaning with stained teeth from coffee and tea. Stephanie (a great hygienist) used a new plaque cleaning machine, which left me with pearly whites. Honestly, it looks like I bleached my teeth! I am also in treatment for Invisalign here and I appreciate Dr. Simmons’ care and early morning hours so I can stop in for all my checks before work. Her office is right off the freeway in Encinitas, which is really convenient and the front office staff is excellent at communication and getting appointments when I need them. I have recommended many people here . Truly, the best dentist in North County coastal.

I continue to visit Dr. Simmons office for my dental care. Staff is always attentive and professional, and keep you well inform of your progress. I keep referring friend and family for care, and they have had a great experience as well. I trust Dr. Simmons care, and will continue to visit for years.

Want to emphasize the professionalism of Mari the dental hygienist. She very thorough and makes the dental experience actually pleasing and I look forward to having my next appointment with her. The entire team at Dr. Simmons office are good at what they do and it’s evident how they treat you and the quality of care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Simmons for over a decade. I don't know anyone who loves going to the dentist, but Dr. Simmons and her staff make the dental experience as comfortable as possible. Dr. Simmons is an excellent dentist with a fantastic bedside manner. Also, very impressed with the investment in new technologies.

Dr. Simmons is absolutely amazing! She is kind and caring, extremely talented, and a complete artist with dentistry. She adds a personal touch to each appointment and truly cares about her patients. Dr. Sam is fantastic as well! Stephanie the hygienist is so thorough and gentle at the same time. We are very fortunate to have them as our providers! We look forward to going to the dentist now. Thanks Liz, for always being on top of everything as well. Our absolute favorites!

I've known Dr. Sam Simmons since he was a small boy, and it's such a pleasure to now be treated by him as a grown, highly professional dentist. His mom, also in the practice, has always been wonderful as well. They are both excellent, and I highly recommend them.

It had been a while. The ol’ "I’ll do it tomorrow" turned into "I should probably stop pretending flossing is a personality trait." A friend swore her dentist was a rock star, but he wasn’t in my insurance network. I could’ve picked someone off the in-network list and rolled the dice, but instead I ran the whole list through ChatGPT. Dr. Maricela came out on top. Now don’t get me wrong. AI can be spooky and error-prone. But this time, it nailed it. Dr. Maricela and her team are hands down the best dental crew I’ve ever worked with. I’m not stoked about how much work I need (that’s on me), but I am stoked to have found them. Professional, kind, sharp, and no pressure. TL;DR? If you’re in Encinitas or North County, this is your go-to dental squad.
