Harbor Dental / Arslan Soyarslan D.D.S. - Monterey, California

I have known and trusted Dr. Soyarslan with my own teeth and my family's teeth for almost 25 years now. Never in my life have I felt more comfortable and trusting of a dentist than I have with this man at his staff. I would highly recommend him without a doubt any day of the week.

By far the best dentist and dental experience I have ever had! Arslan and his assistant Jeanette, are incredible at what they do, and they only schedule one patient at a time so they really give you the time and care needed. I have a tendency to get anxious before dental work and not only were they super kind and understanding, but they also had me laughing in the process, which says a lot!

Dr. Soyarslan has many years of experience and is extremely knowledgeable, he takes the time and patience to explain things, and I learned a lot about my teeth that will help me
to take care of them the best I can. I recommend Harbor Dental to anyone. I always leave in a good mood, and they are the best of the best in my opinion! If you happen to have MCSIG, they take our insurance too.

11/10 recommend!

Decades ago, Doctor Soyarslan made me some cosmetic restorations that are still perfectly intact. He also employed, taught, and supported me as I went to college to become a dental assistant. Over my subsequent career, I have had the privilege of assisting 92 other skilled dentists. I have enjoyed this very much. Still, deep down, I have never been able to overcome the tendency to measure them against the dentist who trained me. In my heart, I am still at his chairside. Doctor Soyarslan is, and will always be the dentist who practices dentistry the “right” way.

As a senior I have had experience with at least twenty dentists while living in many places. Some were very good and some not so much. Dr. Soyarslan is the best I’ve encountered. His obvious concern for patient comfort, state of the art procedures, attention to details, and his focused response to dental concerns is exemplary. As a result I trusted him to replace years of suboptimal work done by other dentists. The temporary crowns he provided were better than the permanent ones from other dentists. He, his assistant, and his office staff have always shown a level of care and attention unmatched by others.

I’ve read some negative reviews by people who had to wait beyond their appointment time and who were very upset by it. Thankfully Dr. Soyarslan pays more attention to the patient than the clock. When unexpected conditions or complications occur he takes the time to do things right instead of hurriedly moving on to the next appointment: realizing that, should offset the inconvenience of occasionally having to wait for another patient’s care.

I’ve had to have extensive dental work over the past year, so I’ve had to go to this office at least a dozen times. Dr Soyarslan is extremely professional, and his depth of experience shows in his work. I’ve had many dentists over the years recommend a specific procedure to me, but I never understood the need or urgency. Dr Soyarslan was the first dentist to take the time to explain to me, using drawings and models, why I need the procedure, and the consequences of not having it done. He even took the time to research specialists who could perform it for me.
Jeanette is a superwoman- she multitasks like none other, has a wealth of knowledge and skill, and always gets back to me quickly.
Dr Soyarslan and Jeanette work together as if they have a telepathic connection.
I recommend this dental office wholeheartedly.

Omg, I am so glad I reached out to Doctor Arslan. He and his staff are the best! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Arslan for 3 years. I was absolutely terrified of dentists when I first walked into his office. The doctor and his staff immediately made me feel comfortable and at ease. The doctor and Jennette were and are very gentle. They make sure I’m comfortable and take all measures to make certain that my time with them is a breeze, nothing like what I remember. I used to call going to the dentist was like going to the torture chambers, no more. I can honestly say they never not even once have hurt me. It’s alway a pleasure seeing the doctor and Jennette even though I have to sit in the most dreaded chair ever, the dentist chair!!! I’m losing my fear of going to the dentist thanks to these two amazing people. I am feeling great now that I know I’m on top of my oral care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Soyarslan's for many years. I have received excellent dental care as his patient. He is not only friendly, and makes you feel comfortable, but more importantly, he is a perfectionist. I really appreciate his attention to detail. I'd also like to acknowledge his assistant, Jeanette. She always goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. She is kind, personable, and extremely knowledgeable in her field. They make an excellent team. Over the years I have recommended several family members as well as friend to Dr. Soyarslan. All of which were very satisfied.

Dr. Soyarslan brings dentistry to an entirely new level - would give even more stars if possible! I brought my entire family to his office for everything from very basic to the most sophisticated services and advice. Everything is easy from scheduling onwards. If you care about really taking care of your teeth, this is the place to go. The few reviews that mentioned finding out surprise cavities were unfortunate. What actually happens is Dr. Soyarslan himself takes the time to examine the x-rays from a holistic perspective and advises on both short term and longer term needs. I felt so informed and at the same time, able to pace treatments out as they made sense. Regarding crowns, Dr. Soyarslan is truly amazing in every way, including being kind and patient! Finally, his staff is very gracious and kind! Even though I am now out of the area, I travel quite a distance to go to him for expert advice. And, I have learned he has many patients that do the same.
