Serving La Mesa, San Diego
La Mesa families and retirees who want quality dentistry without downtown prices.
La Mesa is a mid-sized, well-established community just east of San Diego proper, known for its walkable downtown village along La Mesa Blvd and a stable mix of families, retirees, and longtime homeowners. Many La Mesa residents are on employer PPO plans or carry individual coverage and want a dentist who explains the treatment plan before drilling, does not push unnecessary cosmetic upgrades, and charges fees that match the insurance contract. That is how we operate. Our office on University Ave is about 18 minutes west of the La Mesa village — same University Ave corridor, just keep heading west. We see La Mesa families across all ages, including seniors who have transitioned off employer plans and are managing dental costs on a fixed income.
Starting point: La Mesa Blvd & University Ave
From La Mesa Blvd & University Ave, head west on University Ave. The drive is straightforward — stay on University Ave heading west through College Area and City Heights. Our office is on the south side of University Ave between 52nd and 54th Streets, next to Vien Dong Supermarket. Allow about 18 minutes in normal traffic.
MTS Route 7 runs along University Ave between La Mesa and City Heights — the most direct bus connection in the East County. From the La Mesa village area, the bus ride to our office is about 30-35 minutes with stops along the way.
