Featured Patient Reviews
“I have been going to Dr. Makhoul for years now. The minute you walk in the door, you are greeted with a smile!! Yoli is the best hygienist! She was thorough and it was painless. The entire staff is great! It’s so nice to return and see the same staff working together!!” – Ann P., Dana Point, CA
“I do not like going to the dentist. My anxiety is high. When it came to the point I needed more than routine dentistry, Dr. Makhoul helped me get through the process. His years of experience, dedication, and passion for dentistry got me through the crowns, root canals, and gum surgery I needed. His team including all of his office and referrals of doctors were without a doubt the most professional and sensitive to my particular needs. His calm manner and and good sense of humor make going through this process a little more comfortable, feeling that I am not doing this alone. Dr. Makhoul made my outgoing personality even bigger with the complete confidence of a perfect smile. I don’t know how I can ever repay his kind gestures, guidance, and true ability to make someone smile. Thank you!” – Joe P., San Clemente
