I've used this place several times for both my sons high school dances throughout the years. My sister used for her bridal party and i have always had excellent service. The staff is friendly and their prices are very reasonable. Just last week i called 2 days before prom, no questions asked they had a tux for my son for WELL under $100. He even wasn't sure about what color tie so they let him take both. I highly recommend this place. They go above and beyond w out hesitation.

Thank you for the care, kindness and skill as a surgeon you have provided to me. It's because of Dr. Safely that my surgery went so well.

Theresa was very thorough and gentle with my Mother. She even sang to her as she was cleaning her teeth, probably to soothe her. It worked quite well! She cleaned her teeth quickly but efficiently. I am very pleased with her "chair-side" manner!

This is the best dentist office I have ever been to. My husband and I both come here and since we are both getting older we need a lot of work done. All the staff here is wonderful, gentle, kind, patient, professional and very nice to be around with. The office is immaculate and the bonus is the peaceful fish tank in the waiting room. I hope he does not retire any time soon, keep up the good work.

Dr. Schaeffer is very thorough and pays attention to the little details. I got my dentures here and he did a very good job on making sure that they fit . I now got my dentures and they are perfect nice and fit.

Dr. Schaefer is an excellent dentist. In all the years I have been coming to him he and his staff have given me excellent care. He has reasonable prices and has been extremely flexible in working with me when my insurance did not cover certain procedures. I think he is such a good dentist that my mother is now a regular patient of his since she moved to California three years ago. I would recommend Dr. Schaffer to any one that is looking for a good dentist in the Escondido area.

Our daughter needed a couple of small cavities filled for the first time and we took her to Dr. Schaeffer. What a great decision that was on our part! First of all, she got her appointment within a few days, and then when we showed up, there was literally only 4 minutes of waiting time which was very impressive, since it's so annoying to wait in a doctor's office for too long. Then, he and his staff were very nice and gentle with her, so that she was as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. Highly recommend!

Dr. Schaeffer gives absolutely painless injections. I am very happy with his treatment of my wife & myself. He has done crowns, root canals & filings for us over the years. He is available when needed for emergencies. His fees are very reasonable. I have and will continue to recommend him highly to my friends.

I have been going to Dr..Schaeffer for the last 2 years. I am deathly afraid of going to dentists had so many issues in the past, but once I stepped into Dr..Schaeffer's office. Everyone made me feel so welcome and comfortable. He listened to me while I explained my fears, and gave me a great pep talk. I believe his words were something like "You need to stop being afraid and do it". I sat in the chair figuring out ways to get out of there but he held me to my word, and he has a way of giving an injection that is painless, I didn't feel anything, and he is even better at extractions’ would recommend him to anyone. My sister is the one who told me about him, and I am happy that I listened to her. Excellent dentist.
