Carlsbad Dental Excellence: Michael F. Manhard, DDS

I love the fact that Dr Manhard has the latest technology in his office. He and the staff is fabulous. He is our new family dentsit for the last several years, after some bad experiences with dentisits it is nice to find someone we can trust

i appreciate dr manhard for his honesty and always trying to do quality work vs finding things to "fix". i really do appreciate that! i am happy with the work you have done for me. my only concern is with his receptionist. i called out sick from an appt last week and was scolded, basically made feel like a liar b/c i told her i was very sick and could not come in. she then proceeded to tell me that "this is a business..how do you think he is going to get paid?" and dr manhard will charge me $50 for missing this appt b/c he still needs to make money. she was so rude and cold on the phone. i told her i would never walk in this institution again if i was treated this way or charged for that matter. i was so sick and upset and to be talked to that way was out of bounds.
then, when i came in for the appt first thing out of her mouth was, "wow you are so tall...i thought i was tall!". who says that? i dont need comments about my body when i walk into the dentist. professionalism is all i ask for.
sad that your receptionists keep changing and i think it will definitely hurt your business to have people like that representing you. especially in a market like carlsbad....let me know if you need a good referral. i know a person who would be great for your office and can talk better to your customers. thanks for asking my opinion.

Always very friendly and competent service.

Great dentist

excellent! Dr. Manhard is the best! -

Dr. Manhard is an excellent dentist and a fine person. I have been a patient of his for many years. .in fact, I 'followed' him from his previous office, which was a LOT closer to my home. That is saying a lot, as I have been fearful of "the dentist" since childhood.

I highly recommend Dr. Manhard, for his skill and easy going manner.

It is not the 'quality of dentistry' I have a problem with. It is the 'honesty' of the office staff. HOW would YOU feel, after having stood there, face to face with them, where they told you; "Your insurance will pay for 100% of this procedure, you just need to pay a $50 co-pay". . . you pay the co-pay, have the procedure done and a month later you get a bill for $227 !?! . . AND they are being nasty about 'collecting' it !

Sorry, that feels like "bait & switch" to me AND. . lying, cheating and just dishonest business practices. I have got a feeling I will NOT be using these folks again for my dental needs. It is too bad, as Dr. Manhard is a nice, competent man. But, I am feeling screwed. Your mileage may vary.

great job

Dr. Manhard is the BEST!! I have always been afraid to have Dental work since I had many horrible experiences growing up. Still at 25 yrs I get nervous but Dr. Manhard is amazing! I will not go with anyone else. Ill be moving soon but I will fly down to see him, that's how well my experiences have been in this office.

Great work.

No wait and quick and friendly.
