Testimonials
“I stumbled upon Joseph D’Angelo & Ashley Olson’s website through a friend (social media). I have been on the hunt for a new dentist and for someone who dislikes the dentist as much as I do, I can truly say Dr. Hoffman is truly amazing. At my very first appointment, he explained the dental work that I needed to get done in detail .. the Whats, the Whys and the How. He prioritized each issue by urgency and worked with me on the When which not only helped financially but also since it was nearing the holidays, it helped with timing as well.
At every visit Dr. Hoffman ensures I am comfortable and puts me at ease by walking me through each procedure. Throughout the appointment, he is constantly asking how am I doing and keeps me updated on how much longer I will be.
Everyone at the office that I have interacted with is great. From the moment you walk into the office to the end of your appointment, the experience is outstanding. The staff is professional, friendly, knowledgeable and more than willing to answer any questions you may have. I highly recommend their services.”

“WHERE ELSE CAN YOU WATCH ESPN WHILE YOURE GETTING YOUR TEETH WORKED ON!?
Beyond my expectations for a much needed dental trip. The staff are friendly, young and welcoming. Dr. Hoffman and Gianna were great. He did a phenomenal job on my root canal and cap while taking the time to explain everything that was going on.
Highly recommended, I will be back and this time I won’t wait 2 years.”

“Wow I love this office! Both Dr. Olson and Dr. Joe do amazing work. I have been seen by them both on numerous occasions. They are always very knowledgeable and thorough throughout the whole process. Quick and clean, a humorous pair but you can tell they are genuine in their practice and with their patients. Gianna, one of the assistants is such a pleasure. She has a cheery and positive attitude and is very attentive and efficient. The front staff was accommodating, welcoming and friendly. I love them all
I HIGHLY recommend for any and all dental work!!”

“Great Dentistry, I came in the night after being elbowed in my big front tooth and the same day I called they were able to see me. The staff is extremely helpful and caring. If your finances need help as I did because I am in between jobs they are willing to work with you! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Thanks again Kathy, Mary, Lexi, Dr. Joseph, and Dr. Hoffman!”

“I have been a patient of Dr. Joe’s for the last 21 years! His staff is amazing, very accommodating, very professional, very nice.
Dr. Joe is an excellent dentist. I’ve never had an issue with any of his work – it’s perfect! I’m a “high risk” patient (due to other medical issues) Dr. Joe and Dr. Olson take extra measures and care to ensure my safety, as does their staff. (What an annoying patient!) I love my teeth, I love their work! (Dr. Olson has also worked on me- impeccable!) I love my dentist!!”

“Dr. D’Angelo is such an amazing DR and man. So kind and actually listened to me rather than rushing me through like a number like so many other offices do. The staff is actually friendly and greets you when you walk in. Gianna is such an awesome hygienist knowledgable, kind, and efficient. I really have no complaints! I had such a HORRIBLE experience where dentists would try to up sell me (at a different office) and I felt educated, heard, and respected at Dr. D’Angelo’s office. My teeth are clean and I am happy from the amazing service! I highly recommend.”

“I’m incredibly impressed with this dentist office. I’m the biggest scaredy cat when it comes to dentists and this place has literally left me speechless. Dr. Ashley Olson is outstanding. I called her a dental angel. The sweetest and most sincere dentist I’ve ever met in my life. I’m thrilled they take my insurance so I can come here for any dental work I may need. The whole staff, Lexi and Desiree are the sweetest too. This place deserves all the praise in the world. I was a panick stricken mess when I first walked in and actually left calm happy and confident in what they have planned for me. Thank you to the wonderful team here! I am absolutely in awe of how amazing Ashley and the team are. If more dentists were like them, it would really make a huge impact on people going to the dentist more often.”

“I’ve finally found a dentist I have complete confidence in and I’m so excited to be moving ahead on Invisalign and veneers to create a healthy and beautiful smile! I’d been considering correcting some dental issues for some time. (large spaces, old bonds, turned and tilted teeth. Taken altogether my smile was affecting my confidence and willingness to openly laugh and smile) But I knew I couldn’t move ahead until I was sure that I was in the best of hands. With Dr. D’Angelo I’ve found a dentist that I know I can put my full trust in. At first I was hesitant to commit to work that would require me to make the 6 hour drive from my town in Northern California to La Jolla, but then it became obvious to me that it was worth it to have the best dentist, for work that will last many years and have such a huge impact on the long-term health of my teeth, along with my self-confidence and all that’s tied to that. Dr. D’Angelo is clearly committed to practicing the best dentistry for each patient. He put many hours into coming up with the right plan for me and I couldn’t be more excited. His enthusiasm for the best outcome is obvious. The entire staff at Dr. D’Angelo’s office is warm and friendly and the quality of care superlative. They appear to do their work joyfully and without stress even on days when they are very busy. I’ve never felt that they don’t have the time for me or that my questions and concerns deserve anything less then their full attention. I highly recommend Dr. D’Angelo. The combination of professionalism, intelligence, competency and sincere concern for each patient makes for the sort of dentist everyone should hope to have on their health team.”

“I love Joe and Ashley! They are always so kind and are as gentle as possible and always talk me down when i’m nervous. I got my wisdom teeth removed by Joe and my face didn’t swell at all, I didn’t need any sort of painkillers besides Advil, and I was able to eat sushi the next night. Joe is so helpful he even answered my dental questions when I called him from school in New York. I’ve been seeing him for nearly 15 years and will continue to come back for a long time! The entire staff is also great. Definitely reccomend!!! I love my smile thanks to Joe!”

“Dr. D’Angelo installed my veneers, and I was struck by the wonderful service and, of course, by the quality of the work. This office’s mission is to provide superior care, and I think it says something about them that they make a point to include in their mission statement that their goal is to positively influence the quality of life of their patients. I can’t speak for all of their patients but I imagine most, if not all, would agree with me when I point out that I was treated in every way possible exactly how you might expect, when a dentist makes superior care and MY QUALITY OF LIFE the priority.
I was a little bit worried about getting veneers but Dr. D’Angelo was patient with me, helping me look through before and after pictures and helping me to come up with the right shade and the most natural look.
That was probably my biggest worry. I didn’t want to look like I had a fake smile. I wanted a nice smile but it was important to me that it had a natural appearance. I couldn’t be happier with the results when all was said and done.
They do more than just veneers and cosmetic dentistry. I think they do everything including pulling teeth, implants, and just simple stuff like toothaches and such. I saw before and after pictures with replacing metal fillings with fillings that match the color of the tooth, and I saw before and after pictures of repairs and other such things.
This is a full service office, and I’m sure based on my experience with the veneers, that they approach any job with an absolute attention to detail and commitment to positive results.
I guess it’s obvious that I recommend this dentist. I’ve already recommended Dr. D’Angelo to a number of friends, and I can do that with absolute confidence. I recommend this office for anybody who needs dental work, whether it’s cosmetic or any other kind of work. You can bet I’ll have only one dentist in mind whenever I need work done again.”

“My first visit with Dr. D’Angelo was a delightful experience. He was thorough and professional beyond my expectation. I had a full checkup with x-rays. It was my first experience with digital x-ray technology. So much easier and more comfortable than film. They had my old film from my prior dentist, and the contrast in clarity was so much better.
I don’t have any major problems, so they didn’t recommend any unnecessary procedures.
The staff is very friendly and welcoming. Happy that I made the switch.”
Bob C.
“I love Dr. D’Angelo and everyone in his team. I have been going to him for almost 2 years. Every single time the services have been extraordinary. I have gotten my quarterly cleanings, some major dental work (veneers, crowns, etc), invisilign. The results of the major dental work have been amazing. Dr. D’angelo took a lot of time to design the perfect plan to fix all my teeth as I had been neglecting them for a long time. Now, My teeth look great and it was after a very strategic and perfectly executed plan. My husband has just started going to him too and loves them. He had been very happy somewhere else for many years but when he heard me speak about D’Angelo, he tried them and now he has moved and happy to have done it. I will be happy to answer any questions because they are amazing and you deserve the best.
Every one in the staff is super friendly, caring and professional. Plus they do their jobs with perfection. Their facility is also very well equipped, comfortable and clean. They are always on time.”
Maria D.
“I have said it before but I will say it again, getting this work done was truly life changing for me.
Every person in my life has commented recently about how happy I look and I know that it is a direct result of my new confidence and smile. The result is even better than I could have imaged. Everything looks and feels so natural that I really believe this is the smile I was meant to have.
I really appreciate all of the time and attention to detail you paid to make my experience so wonderful. I went on vacation this summer and I did not delete a single picture here from that vacation and look forward to seeing everyone in the office for my next cleaning.”

“On February 2009 I came to visit Dr. D’Angelo hoping that he could repair some prior poor quality dentistry that I have had. It took me a while to find a dentist that expresed interest on your smile design. I also wanted a dentist that had the ability to perform the job with the upmost detail and care. Dr. D’Angelo and his team make you feel at home as soon as you come in. I was impressed by Dr. D’Angelo’s immaculate work! He is not only a perfectionist but also shows interest on what your needs are. From re-treating my 4 root canals to placing my crowns on those teeth, the experience was practically painless. He also extracted an impacted wisdom tooth with very little discomfort. No swelling was present after the surgery. I used to dislike going to the dentist, but now I enjoy seeing my dentist and placed my confidence and trust on a highly professional individual.”

“I’m very grateful for the excellent dental work just completed by you and your supportive staff, resulting in eight implants with crowns and other important work greatly improving my appearance and the functioning of my mouth.
I appreciate your considerable skill that went into the proper placement of the several implants and the alignment of the crowns so that I can chew properly, and to give my mouth a natural appearance.
I had begun this work because I hadn’t been smiling to expose my teeth for several years because I was self-conscious about missing teeth. I hadn’t had any dental work done at all for quite some time simply due to neglect and apathy.
However, after having being elected as a lay reader to conduct two church services every week. friends told me I needed to begin smiling more naturally and should consider having dental work done. I selected you because of the evidence I found of your good work in the past and because I wanted all of the work to be done in one office, which was possible with you and your skilled staff.
My being able now to smile fully with confidence in the proper appearance of my teeth has resulted in even more than I thought it would! It has enabled me to express myself more freely, more cheerfully with others without having to self-consciously restrain myself while talking by not wanting to expose my teeth too broadly. It has certainly improved my self-esteem owing to this greater pride in my appearance.
Thank you again for your excellent work and for the encouragement that I received from you and your staff.”
Dwight D. La Jolla, CA
“Less than a year ago I was concerned about smiling too broadly, for fear my broken and missing teeth might show. In addition, I avoided going to a dentist out of both general fear and embarrassment over my neglect of my teeth. Needless to say, smiling is no longer a problem, as you did a great job repairing my teeth, relatively painlessly I must add. However, more importantly, you and your staff always made me feel comfortable, never chastising me for the past. You have a patient for life!”

“There is no better dentist than Dr. D’Angelo. We love him!

Julie and Cristina
“A friend of mine told me about Dr. D’Angelo in La Jolla. She said that he did incredible work that was absolutely painless!
I came in to Dr. D’Angelo`s office and was greeted by his warm, friendly staff. It was obvious to me that these people loved working here!
Within minutes I had met Dr. Joe`s whole staff and felt very much at home. Dr. D’Angelo is the kind of person you like instantly! Needless to say, I needed extensive work done due to my own neglect. We put a game plan together, agreed on a time frame to get started, and away we went. I had every kind of work done from inlays to onlays, implants to root canals. He replaced all my old leaky silver fillings with really nice porcelain. Every thing he did was completely painless and I was amazed at how perfect his work was. I have been in the health care industry for about 15 years now and I have never met a more unique group of professionals in my life.
Dr. D’Angelo stays up on all of the latest technologies and procedures available. I have more confidence in this guy than any other doctor I have met in my career!
I have told all of my friends about Dr. D’Angelo and they all share the same great experience. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions at sunami@pacbell.net”

“I’ve gone through 2 dentists since I’ve moved to Ohio. Neither office compares to your office. Like I’ve said before, your office is the Nordstrom of dental offices!
Both dentists commented on how nice the veneers are that you did. They are over 10 years old and I still love them!”
John V.
“Thank you for the wonderful new smile you gave my son, Patrick. He is so pleased with his appearance now, and everyone he knows has commented on what a difference it makes.
It has been a tremendous self-esteem boost for him, too. We are all so glad we had this done for him.”
Jean C. La Jolla, CA
“With great assurance I can unequivocally say that from my first visit with Dr. D’Angelo, I was absolutely impressed by his dedication to detail, his passion for his profession, and his seemingly effortless strive to achieve the greatest result possible. I can say without hesitation that he is the best dentist that I have ever had the pleasure of being treated by.”
M. Bhayani
“I had to reach out to you and your office as it’s been almost 12 years since I had my veneers done by you.
Since that time, my family has moved around quite a bit as my husband works works in radio programming. For all our moves, we have had many new dentists and every time I meet a new dentist, I always get the same response… WOW, those are beautiful veneers!!
I’ve been so happy with my veneers. I was motivated to have them in time for my wedding almost 12 years ago and they have since just felt like my natural teeth.
After every new dental appointment, I think of reaching out to you. We recently moved to Atlanta, Ga and I just had my first dentist appointment here today. So, I thought I must let Dr. Joe know how enjoyable it is to meet a new dentist when I get to hear such positive comments about my teeth.
Thank you so much. All the best to you and the lovely ladies in the office too.”
Elisabeth S.
“We love Dr. Joe and his talented staff!
Carole:
He makes us smile from ear to ear. Not only can we count on Dr. Joe for regular care and maintenance, but he is there for emergencies. I fell on my face the day before we were to leave on a cruise. Dr. Joe worked a miracle and sent me off smiling the next day.
David:
Dr. Joe improved my smile with crowns and Invisalign. Now I can laugh at my own jokes and smiles when I greet students before school.”
Carole and David M.
“It seems like just yesterday when we were laughing about that “silver mine” in my mouth. I think there was enough to fill up a few quarries. Now it’s all gone and I can’t tell you how pleased I am. It feels wonderful and looks great. It’s been 35 years since my mouth looked like this.
As I have in the past, I will continue to highly recommend your office to my friends and acquaintances.”
Phil S. Escondido, CA
“I highly recommend Dr. D’Angelo’s work. He is definitely an artist in his field. I just had a combination of implant, crowns and veneers and can’t believe how phenomenal the results are. My teeth are whiter and I have a much prettier smile.
I recommend cosmetic dentistry to anyone who wants to improve their appearance and self-esteem.”
D.C.W. La Jolla, CA
“After 10 years of employment as a dental assistant in various different dental offices, I thought I had been a part of progressive, top quality dentistry. Then I had the privilege of working with Dr. D’Angelo.
With Dr. D’Angelo, I learned the true meaning of quality dentistry and professionalism. He is the most talented clinician that I have ever had the opportunity to work chairside with. His talent is only shadowed by his compassion for his patients. Although I am no longer in the dental field, Joe is and always will be my dentist.”
