By Patient: Patient 1

What did you have done?

I have been a patient of Dr. Kerbs for about 9 years. I live in Riverside, and I drive to Escondido to see him. That should tell you how highly I think of him. I have had Cosmetic Dentistry (veneers), root canals, and have changed all my silver fillings to porcelain fillings by Dr. Kerbs over the years.

Can you tell me more about your story, why you chose Dr. Kerbs, and if there is anything about him that is noteworthy?

What was amazing was that, when I had my root canal done by him, he actually called me that night to see if I am OK! I was shocked! Which dentist would do this? Then I realized that he calls all his patients for all procedures each night! My teeth, not only look beautiful now, but they also look very natural. No one can tell that I have had cosmetic dentistry done. Everyone always complements me on my teeth, and I always refer them all to him. I recommend him to anyone I see. When I rub my tongue on my crowns and veneers, they all feel very natural, and smooth. I actually used to grind my teeth, and when I'd floss, the floss would shred into pieces. Now, not only I do not grind my teeth any longer, but I can floss my teeth very easily, and they are so nice and smooth, that the floss no longer shreds. This is better than what I had in the first place. I love visiting his office. It is a very comfortable environment. I have never felt pressured to have a procedure done in his office.

By Patient: Patient 2

What did you have done?

I have been a patient of Dr. Kerbs for over 5 years.

Can you tell me more about your story, why you chose Dr. Kerbs, and if there is anything about him that is noteworthy?

I originally found him online. I did not know what to look for really, and I am glad that a resource such as Top3dentists is now available to help patients in this search process. I went for consultations to him and a few other dentists. He was not the cheapest, nor was he the most expensive. But I felt the most comfortable with him, and felt that he could do the best job for me. I also chose him based on the different recommendations that his patients had given to him, as well as his before and after photos. Although I have to admit, I did not know what is better than another, and I had no idea that dentists can actually buy these before and after photos and put them on their website or in their office.

One other thing that I really liked about Dr. Kerbs was the fact that when he was treatment planning my case, I made the decisions. He was not pushy at all, I felt no pressure. He educated me, gave me options, and told me about the risks vs. rewards. This is one of the reasons why I feel so comfortable referring all my friends and family to him.

By Patient: Patient 3

What did you have done?

I had all my upper teeth veneered by Dr. Kerbs, and had him change all my old silver filings to porcelain ones.

Can you tell me more about your story, why you chose Dr. Kerbs, and if there is anything about him that is noteworthy?

About 4 years ago, I decided to have cosmetic dentistry done and I found him through referral. Now I only go in for routine cleaning every six months. He definitely met my expectations. And I am a tough customer to please, I have to tell you. We chose the colors, shape and style of my veneers together. I really appreciated this process, because he listened to me and my needs and used his own expertise, to make it absolutely gorgeous.

By Patient: Patient 4

What did you have done?

I had very bad teeth. My father had dentures at a very young age and I was told that I would be following his footsteps as well. I had rheumatic fever at a young age, and that made me prone to having an comprisable situation. I was told that by the age 30, I should expect to have no teeth. Now I am 47, and still have all my teeth, in perfect health. Needless to say, I had a bad attitude toward dentists and lots of baggage. I would say, I was standoffish! They all used to blame and judge me.

Can you tell me more about your story, why you chose Dr. Kerbs, and if there is anything about him that is noteworthy?

This all changed back in November of 2000. That was when I met Dr. Kerbs. I remember this because of the impact he has made in my life in many different aspects. I was in the process of massive reconstructions and surgeries at that time. I was told that I need to have gum surgery that was going to cost me in excess of $4000 at that time prior to having anything else done. That was when I found Dr. Kerbs. I went to see him, and he told me that he will be able to help me. I realized he is not the same as all these other dentists. He was not there to judge me, to put me down, or to put my teeth down. I felt like he genuinely cared. He told me that I can keep my teeth but it depends on me. He made me feel better about myself and about my teeth. I did not feel hopeless and helpless any longer!

Overall Experience: 10

I also have to tell you, I am a gagger, so it is very hard for any dentist to work with me! And Dr. Kerbs has been the best! He is so nice, understanding and caring, that he has made me feel super comfortable when he works in my mouth.
