Let me just say anyone can write a review, the people that write bad reviews need to take a minute and think what if every person you met everyday wrote a review on you? I am sure you would not get 5 stars every time. My experience with Dr. Sawa nothing less then perfect, this man is not only the best implant dentist in San Diego (my opinion) but he is the most knowledgeable person I have ever met. Doctor Sawa isnt after your money he truly wants EVERYONE to just take care of their teeth and health. Never thought I would ever say this about any dentist but he is truly an amazing person before a remarkable dentist. So if you had a bad experience with Doctor Sawa,, I would take another look at yourself!

Dr. Sawa needs to be investigated. All his practice needs to be inspected, his office papers verified and his patients needs to be heard. He deserves no stars.

FAKE REVIEWS. Look at the names, see a pattern? I read the reviews before coming in so I was already skeptical. After not having seen a dentist for 5 years, I scheduled an appointment with Dr Sawa. First of all, the office has no privacy and when I came in only Dr Sawa and his receptionist were there. No other employees or patients. Upon opening my mouth right away he told me I had 8 cavities by just looking. My initial complaint was my wisdom teeth causing severe pain. He did a basic cleaning and told me to come back for four fillings on one side and wed progress to the next four, next appointment. Even during the X Ray process I was in a large amount of pain. When my teeth were getting cleaned my eyes were watering and I was shaking my legs in discomfort. When I went in to do my fillings, it was extremely uncomfortable. I again was crying and freaking out, in a lot of pain. He told me it was normal and hed see me in a week. By the next day, one filling had started falling out and eventually, a second fell out. I had extreme sensitivity on my teeth and felt like something wasnt right.
I decided to seek a second opinion and today I saw Dr Prouse, upon inspecting my teeth he was schooled with what he saw. He saw only one cavity on the other side of my mouth Dr Sawa didnt get to know. He then commented the doctor did something to one of my teeth, but it wasnt a filling. He also commented my teeth look like they were never cleaned. I told him its been a month since Ive got my cleaning and he stated the dentist missed an enormous amount of buildup. Dr Prouse did my xrays and referred me to an oral surgeon, even giving my Percocet for the pain. He stated they shouldve been taken out a while ago and the first problem Dr Sawa shouldve addressed. Dr Sawa is an incompetent, greedy dentist. Save yourself the time, money, and pain and go see a respectable dentist. Shame on you Dr Sawa.

Worst experience. I went in for a regular cleaning and I know it does not cost too much. During the examination, he said that I needed multiple fillings without doing any x-rays. After the examination, I stated that I only wanted the cleaning for now and worry about the fillings later. At the end, when it was time to pay. He charged me for services that were not performed and after I confronted the dentist about it, he became angry and told me to pay whatever and not to come back again. Great customer service right? This dentist scams his patients. Explains why his waiting room is always empty. Stay away from this place.
Update: Went back to my original dentist, told me I only have 2 cavities compared to Dr. Sawa stating I have 10. Biggest scam.
