Stephen Lee, DDS

Dr. Lee is THE best, and his work is amazing (Trust me, I’m an elite & a 3^rd year dental student). I’m surprised he doesn’t have more Unilocal reviews, but it’s probably because he doesn’t pay to advertise himself like some others. He relies on his own quality of work and word-​of-​mouth from his patients.
While visiting my family in San Diego, I had some dental health issues and needed to see a dentist immediately. My sister told me I HAD to see her dentist, Dr. Lee. She had been seeing him since moving to SD and has fallen in love. Dr. Lee made her feel very calm even though she typically has some dental anxiety and a high fear for pain (She is the type to say ouch before the needle touches). He did her first root canal, and she said it was completely painless – from the needle to the drilling to the filling to the end. I decided to give it a shot despite the lack of Unilocal recommendations, and I am very grateful to her for directing me to this professional.
I walked into the clinic and was admitted as an emergency patient. The girls in the front were very friendly, made it very easy for me to schedule an appointment, and I was seen right away. I needed some invasive procedures done, and Dr. Lee made if incredibly comfortable and painless. Dr. Lee and his assistants made the whole visit very enjoyable for me. He told me exactly what he was doing and what I should expect. He explained things step by step to me and treated me like his own family. As a current third year dental student, he practiced the way I aspire to practice. I can tell he truly knows all the science behind every material he uses and every procedure he does – best of all, he’s got the compassion that makes a caring dentist. Even though I’m from out-​of-​town, I will definitely come back to him regularly because he’s proven himself to be the best dental home.
I am fortunate to call him my dentist, he has my utmost recommendation, and I will only recommend my family go to him.

There are few people in life you need to trust more so than your Dentist! Dr. Lee is the dentist you can trust! I have been visiting Dr. Stephen Lee for over 20 years for my Dental needs. Upon serving in the United States Army in 2002 – 2007, in a time of war, my dental health came second to the mission. The dental care that I did receive was substandard and has had rippling affects on my dental hygiene.
Dr. Lee has been very accommodating and supportive in my path towards oral brilliance! He and his staff make you feel important and comfortable from the moment you walk through the door. Beyond the kindness and courtesy of the entire team, his practice is highly sanitary with a very comfortable feeling. Dr. Lee utilizes modern dental technology tools to ensure the most accurate diagnosis and treatment plan, specific to each patient. All of his exam rooms have majestic views of the rolling hills of Poway and are themed to the San Diego locale. The Chargers Themed exam room with a framed Philip Rivers Jersey is my favorite by far! Whether you are in need of a routine check-​up and cleaning, or in need of oral surgery and cosmetic reconstruction, all your needs can be addressed in one office.
All-​in-​all, Poway Dental Care is the epitome of professionalism and excellence. If you have any doubts or concerns of your current provider or finding the practice that fits your needs, I would highly recommend Dr. Lee. From your very first visit, you will find that all the anxiety of visiting the dentist will be relieved.

I’ve been going to Dr Lee for about 20 years and I wouldn’t go to anyone else. He’s friendly and his staff is extremely accomodating and nice. Last year I wasn’t able to come in during the week, but they were able to make it work and see me on a Saturday. I always refer my friends to Dr Lee; nobdody else!

The best of the best, I;m fortunate to have him as my families Dentist for the last 6 years.

dr. stephen lee is a wonderful, professional and a very good expert in his field of knowledge which is dentistry.
i am very satisfied with his work and would recommend him with high confidence. very reasonable prices and very quick but high quality work.

Had to switch to a different dentist when I signed up for new insurance. Went to Dr. Lee’s office and I’m so glad I did! Received great service from everyone in the office!!! He made sure to be 100 percent honest with things I needed done to my teeth and didn’t pressure me to get everything done right away. Definitely puts his clients first!

Dr Lee was recommended to me by my boss about 10 years ago when I realized my dentist at the time was very shady — putting money ahead of patient care. From day one Dr Lee has taken excellent care of me and my teeth. Dr Lee always makes himself available at every appointment to touch base with me, asks me if I have any issues and answers all my questions before checking on my teeth. Everyone who has worked with me through the years has been professional, very well trained and fun to spend time with. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his staff.

Dr. Lee is one of the most thorough dentists I’ve ever been to. I’m not sure what the lady above is referring to. I’ve been a patient of his for almost 10 years and I’ve always been seen by him. Any dentist you go to, the hygenist will always see you first before the Dentist comes in.
He’s very personable and I’ve never once have had an issue with my teeth. I have referred my family and friends to Dr. Lee. He is great at what he does and I trust him 100% with my teeth.

Don’t be fooled by the nice new surroundings. If you go to Dr. Lee you will only see him once a year. Every other time will be with a hygenist.
I saw the hygenist every three months for a year and ended up with thousands of dollars in perio surgery bills that experts agreed would have been avoided if the dentist had been paying attention.
This guy is about the money. He’s rushed and doesn’t know how to talk in «patient speak» and is insulted if you ask. Check out some smaller offices in Poway like Dr. Salamy. He actually looks in your mouth!!!
Our whole family changed to another dentist when we realized we were never seeing the «dentist»!!! They also busted my chops for being 3 mintes late one time yet I’ve been kept waiting up to 30 minutes over my scheduled appt. time.
