Really the best, also likable people. Highly recommend!

Timely and thorough cleaning, great place in Valley Center for dentistry needs.

I love Valley Center Dental, the staff is so friendly and welcoming. Today I had my teeth cleaned by Desteen and she is awesome. VC Dental is the best dental practice I have found for our family.

Dr. McHale's Dental offers skilled, experienced, understanding, professional and efficient dental care. A gem of an office tucked away in Valley Center. Not only is the medical and dental care excellent but the office staff is wonderful for helping with understanding billing, copays and costs and reminding you of appointments and scheduling them!

What a wonderful dental practice. They listen to your concerns and direct you in an honest and upfront matter in regards to your dental care. They take care of their patients in a kind and general . My parents are elderly and they have really taking very good care of them over the years. My mother is handicapped and they are very accommodating from. I highly recommend them.

I have been coming to Valley Dental Center for 30 years and have not even considered going elsewhere. The staff are friendly and considerate of my time and comfort. They make a point to know me personally and make me feel like family. They have gone over and above to fit me in quickly when an urgent dental problem came up. My Dentist is exceptionally skilled, and personable. He is on top of current technology, incorporating them when needed. They are a brilliant team which Valley Center is fortunate to have available.

I have been going to Dr McHale for 20 years now and every visit has been a pleasurable experience with the doctor and his staff. They resolve the dental issues in a warm, caring professional way.

I've been a patient of Dr. McHale for nearly 30 years. He and his team have always been topnotch. Last night I awoke with a missing inlay in an upper molar. I called this AM and got an appt. for this same afternoon, where the problem was diagnosed, repaired and a temporary filling placed while a new crown is being prepared for insertion in 2 weeks. I could not have asked for better. I even got a senior citizen discount.

Had a cleaning today with Desteen. Always a joy to come here. Everything is so nice and clean and the staff are very friendly. Love the new sample bag. Really cute too!

I had an awkward front tooth somewhere between well-chipped or closer to partly broken. Bonding was ruled out by Dr. McHale & crown was ruled in & I belatedly prepped for all the grinding. Despite all the unavoidable grinding sounds & smells, all was painless & the crown came in early... Chris took tine to fit it well & tightly- so snug it was discomforting at first, but she said that would dissipate over time... Which it mostly has 2 days later. So a fine job to all- it's a relief to have a working tooth there again!!

You will never find a more attentive, kind hearted and skilled dentist than Dr. Steve McHale. In an age where everyone is so wrapped up in this fast paced cell phone culture, Dr. Steve always takes the time to make sure your experience at his office, with his top notch staff, is a pleasant one. My wife have severe "Dental Anxiety" until I got her into Dr. McHale, she is now a regular patient and has no anxiety whatsoever. Desteen is the best Hygienist I have ever had work on my teeth and the rest of the staff go above and beyond, as well. I drive 30 miles past 25 other options to reach the best team in the region, in small, semi rural, Valley Center, CA. This office is the epitome of a Diamond in the rough.

Best dentist ever! Dr McHale and team are so wonderful! Very professional, down to earth and so helpful at every step.

I broke my molar on a Monday evening. The first day I was available to get it checked out was that Thursday. Dr. McHale’s staff was very accomodating and got me right in. Once there they took very good care of me. They were courteous and attentive to my needs / concerns. Dr. McHale and his staff have excellent bed side manner. My tooth needed to be extracted which I was nervous about. The procedure ended up being painless and the next day I wasn’t sore. Overall I am very satisfied and grateful for the service they provided to me. Thank you very much to Dr. McHale and to all of his staff.

This was my first visit to VCD. It had been over 10 years since I was last at a dentist due to a horrible past experience with a different dentist.

Once upon a time, I, like many people, was terrified of the dentist. And of course when you're terrified, you find every reason NOT to go, which only makes it worse when you DO go! No longer... For the last twenty plus years our family has gone to Valley Center Dental and the folks there have done everything to make it a positive, even pleasant, experience! Every single person there is friendly, knowledgeable, professional and compassionate... We've been through orthodontia, root canals, cavities, you name it, someone in our family probably needed it at one time.... And never has it been a terrible thing. They use state of the art equipment, and cleanings are a breeze! We've recommended VC Dental many times without hesitation, and will continue to do so.
