Serving City Heights, San Diego
Your City Heights neighborhood dentist — same zip code, same University Ave, 30+ years here.
City Heights is where we are. The office sits on University Ave between 52nd and 54th Streets, in the same 92105 zip code as most of the neighborhood — many patients walk, bike, or take the bus to us. City Heights is one of San Diego's most culturally diverse neighborhoods, home to thriving Vietnamese, Hispanic, East African, and other immigrant communities. Our front desk handles patients in Vietnamese, Spanish, and English, and we are one of the few practices in the area with deep experience moving Denti-Cal and Medi-Cal pre-authorizations through quickly — typically 1-2 weeks rather than the 6-8 week industry norm. We have been here for 30+ years and have seen multiple generations of City Heights families come through the practice.
Starting point: University Ave & 54th Street
We are on University Ave between 52nd and 54th Streets, on the south side, next to Vien Dong Supermarket. Many City Heights residents do not need to drive — you can walk, bike, or hop on MTS Route 7 (University Ave) or Route 11 (Adams Ave) and be at the office in minutes.
MTS Route 7 runs along University Ave and stops within a block. Routes 11, 215 (Rapid), and 1 all connect within City Heights. The Euclid Ave Trolley Station is a short bus or rideshare connection. Many patients walk or bike from the surrounding blocks.
Our office at 5296 University Ave (Suite I) has free street parking along University Ave and 53rd Street, plus the shared lot for Vien Dong Supermarket next door. Wheelchair-accessible entry and ground-floor treatment rooms.
Every visit is the same comprehensive practice — these are the services that tend to matter most to the patients we see from City Heights.
