Ron Barry, D.M.D. - Del Mar, California

Brett St. Cyr

I love Dr. Ron Barry and everyone working in the office. I went there for a cleaning and initial evaluation. I have had some bad experiences with dentists in the past so I am hesitant to trust new ones. I 150% trust Ron and his team. They are all so kind, wonderful and helpful. During the initial evaluation Dr. Barry, not someone else, thoroughly reviewed with me all the x-rays and 3D graphing (super cool) of my teeth mouth and jaw. So I could see exactly what he was seeing as he explained everything. This made the experience really comforting and allowed me to ask questions as we went through everything. I had lots of questions and Ron was super happy to answer anything I asked. It was a great learning experience and made you feel very comfortable. When he gets the tools in your mouth his assistant is wonderful and right there the whole time. They are extremely cognizant of the patient and ensuring you are comfortable. The work is also amazing, I have a chipped front tooth and they capped it without a problem, and it looks fantastic and feels great. I had to return to fix a little problem with the cap 5 months after they did it. Ron took care of it in 5 min and sent me on my way without charging anything. I would recommend anyone who might not like the dentist to try out Dr Barry!

Dr. Barry has been my dentist for approximately 15 years. I love their office and the friendly team members. Dr. Barry is a great and thoughtful dentist that is always up on the most state of the art procedures. He never takes short cuts and always ensures patients are treated with the smartest and most accurate solution for their situation. He is very caring and personable and has seen me through many dental fears. Very grateful for this dental practice.

Dr. Barry and his entire staff are amazing. I've had both emergency and scheduled appointments and the crew are just as friendly and understanding in either case. As someone who has been hesitant to go to the dentist in the past, I can't imagine ever having been that way now that I go to Dr. Barry.

Dr. Barry is a phenomenal dentist! Seriously, he makes it *enjoyable* to visit the dentist! Who knew that was even possible? He does a superb job and never rushes through explaining what he sees. He has some cool software that creates a personalized 3-D model of your mouth and he uses a tiny camera to show you close-ups of your teeth in the far back. Everyone always seems to be in good spirits and having a fun time. I cannot recommend Dr. Barry and the staff here enough!

I had not been to a dentist in quite a few years. I was very impressed with all of the undated dental equipment in Dr. McDonald's office. The new equipment made getting x-rays a lot easier than I have ever had in the past. I received a very thorough examination. It was a very low key experience. Dr. McDonald identified some work that needed to be performed. He showed me the results of the x-rays and explained the work that needed to be performed in terms I could understand. He stated that, considering how long I had been away from a dentists office, I was in pretty good shape. He recommended certain things that needed to be done sooner than later, and other things that he would monitor for potential future procedures. I know that some dentists just try to "drill, fill, and bill", so this was very comforting. Dr. McDonald's staff was also very knowledgeable and provided me up front pricing for all of the recommended work.

Dr. Barry and his staff run a modern, clean, and efficient practice using the latest technologies to assist them in evaluating and caring for their patients. As a new patient I had a full set of digital x-rays taken, followed by possibly my most thorough oral exam ever including a complete explanation of the findings by Dr. Barry, and finally my teeth were expertly cleaned by the hygienist Kristen. During the exam I felt like I had the full attention of Dr. Barry as he considered my previous dental history and made his recommendations. Overall, a very positive experience — this dental practice is a keeper! Full disclosure: I am a former dental hygienist, so you know I was watching very carefully.

Unexpectedly broke a tooth and needed to find a local dentist who could take me in ASAP. A friend recommended Dr. Barry, and so I called their office to make an emergency appointment. The office staff were amazing. I had an appointment within minutes. I arrived to find a beautiful office, with a smiling face to greet me by name at the counter. I didn’t even have a chance to sit down before going into the exam room. I found myself surrounded by an incredible array of the latest technology and a dental assistant (Vanessa) who made sure that I was comfortable and getting the best possible care. Dr. Barry came in very shortly and worked his magic on my broken tooth. At the end of my short visit (2.5 hrs), I walked out with a brand new crown which was better than my old tooth.

In short, I think I died and went to dental heaven. There was no pain, anxiety, waiting or stress of any kind. I went home and had a good meal, with my new and improved tooth put to good use. Thank you for what you did for me yesterday, and I am delighted to have found the best dentist in the world right here in Del Mar!
