I just switched over to this office after use of dental abuse, overtreatment, and general hell. I couldnt be happier with the Doctor and his office. I wish I switched over years ago. I usually have extreme anxiety about going to the dentist and I sat and waited fot the pain and it never came! And I’m actually looking forward to my next cleaning!

Dr. Sterling has been my family dentist for as long as I can remember! I have refereed many friends to him, and have only heard amazing things from them. His technicians and staff are extremely friendly and personal with every visit. As well I’ve had my Brite Smile done at his office three times in the last five years, and boy are my teeth white! This man keeps me smiling!!!

While waiting for my teeth cleaning appointment, I had the pleasure of talking to several other patients of Dr. Sterling. They were all very nice and no one was at all nervous. One of them even drove all the way from Los Angeles! I can’t fathom how many other dentists she passed on the way to Laguna Beach just to see Dr Sterling But that tells me that I’m not the only one that thinks Dr Sterling is great. He and his staff are always very friendly and welcoming.
The number one trait I would want in a good dentist is someone that does a good job. I have been going to Dr Sterling for almost 30 years and I have never had to get any work redone. Dr Sterling is always detail-​oriented, and honest. I have referred many of my friends to him and they are all as satisfied as I am. I can’t not mention the amazing ocean view you can look at while in his office.

Dr. Sterling has been my dentist for almost 30 years. I trust him completely, as he has been consistently honest, patient, detail oriented, and gentle. He has a very calm, warm demeanor and takes time to explain options and procedures so that his patients feel comfortable and well cared for. He and his friendly staff have made me feel like family over the years. The clean office with beautiful views helps make the whole experience even more pleasant. Over the years, I’ve referred numerous friends to Dr. Sterling, and all have continued to see him. I would recommend him without hesitation.
