Richard S. Prouse, DDS

So incredibly thankful I finally found a great dentist. Dr. Prouse and his staff are an amazing group. During my first visit, I was immediately welcomed by all the staff. Both the ladies in the front were very professional and made me feel right at home and comfortable. The doctor and his assistant were very attentive to both my needs and feelings being that I have had a fear of the dentist my whole life due to past experiences with other dental offices. My first visit I received x-​rays, a cleaning, and an exam by the doctor. I was very appreciative to receive a cleaning on my first visit and the hygienist was so gentle and thorough. My teeth have never felt as clean before by anyone. After the exam, the doctor went over the future treatment I needed and walked me to the front. The ladies in the front went over what was to be expected and they immediately scheduled me for follow-​up appointments. I couldn’t have asked for expected a better experience. I recommend this place to anyone who is in need of a great dentist.

Dr. Prouse missed a diagnosis on routine x-​rays, the result, extraction and expensive implants! He originally admitted his mistake and offered to pay for costly procedures at another office. Then, he went back on his word, basically saying sue me… my advice… find another Denist who is honest, thorough, and stands behinds his work! Richard Prouse is none of those.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Prouse for about 8 – 9 years now and I’ve never had a bad experience. Love all the ladies up front and they always try their best to accommodate to my changing school schedule. Always get the best cleanings for great prices. I can’t complain, I’ll be a customer for as long as they are open. Thanks Dr. Prouse & team

I am so glad to find Dr. Prouse! After having a long and slightly nightmarish dental story, I decided that it was imperative to find the highest quality and most knowledgeable dental professional. So, as any doctor does, I looked up and down and all around searching for the most well educated dentist who is recognized by his peers. I called the top five offices and found that Dr. Prouse was kind enough to see me within one day. I called on a Sunday.
Once there, I was greeted by upbeat and helpful
Receptionist and was provided an opportunity to meet Dr. Prouse before making it into the exam room. The Dental Assistant was kind and gentle. She even softly sang lyrics in a beautiful voice to background music once and again. She even brought me a light blanket to cover my legs per my request. What a gem of an employee!
The visit was overall a welcoming experience and Dr. Prouse was a good source of information and explained my treatment options thoroughly. I am one hundred percent satisfied with my new dental clinic and confident the care is of highest quality.

Another great experience at Dr. Prouse’s! Crystal, my hygienist, was thorough, friendly, and very informative. She spent a great deal of time discussing gum pocket length and answered all of my questions. She also seemed genuinely interested in my response about day to day life questions and that she wasn’t just trying to make small talk. The new receptionist, Jenna, was very kind and helpful. I love a «Cheers» atmosphere when I go places, and to have everyone know your name. It was my first time meeting Jenna, but I can already tell I will get the Cheers attitude with her. And no cavities, yay!

I was over charged, and he still denied it till he was blue in the face. I got a second opinion from another dentist and she said he only did a one surface filling. He charged me for a three surface. He refunded me but the fact he was still trying to deny it was only one surface is what really bothered me. You just say «I was wrong» and it goes a long way. He broke my trust and his arrogance about it made it ten times worse. I would not recommend him, he might try to pull one over on you!

I was referred to Dr. Prouse’s office by my neighbor. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. Dr. Prouse and his staff are great! Friendly, honest and very helpful. Bea, the Office Manager is always so great. She has helped me after hours a few times and gone above and beyond to get me seen at the last minute. I am a self paying patient with no dental coverage and they have been very helpful in helping me spend as little as possible.

I used to fear going to the dentist but not anymore since I found Dr. Richard Prouse. I actually LOVE going to the dentist now.
I was one of those people who didn’t go to the dentist regularly so I ended up needing work done like fillings, root canals and crowns. I used to have to be medicated for anxiety before anything was done, but no longer.
Since my first visit to Dr. Prouse, I was put at ease with his explanation of what was going to be done and his remarkable technique of numbing, so I have NEVER… I repeat, NEVER been in pain during a treatment.
I look forward to teeth cleaning, weird I know but all the technicians are so gentle, thorough and thoughtful to your experience.
Dr. Prouse and his staff are INCREDIBLY sweet, comforting, professional, safe and super FUN.
Love, love, love the Office Manager, Bea. She is amazing and super smart with all that insurance stuff we all hate.
Kelsey’s engaged fellas, sorry guys!
My family and friends now go to Dr. Prouse as well.
I HIGHLY recommend them to everyone.

Best dentist around. Dr. Prouse knows what he’s doing. He’s hilarious and keeps you calm through your whole procedure. The whole staff is great! It’s a family affair! He treats each patient like family. I drive all the way from Escondido to have work done at his office. Recommend him to everyone I know

Wonderful staff, both kind and curtious. Front office staff was very welcoming. I absolutely love the hygienist, whom did a fantastic job cleaning my teeth. She was professional and gentle. Dr. Prouse’s numbing technique is amazing!!! I did not feel a thing! He made me feel comfortable and relaxed during my whole treatment, i will highly recommend him to my family and friends.

I have been going to Dr. Prouse’s office for years. I go to this office because I like the Dental Hygienist, Ashley. Ashely is very thorough and get me out of the office quickly.
The office is very clean and the staff is friendly. The Office Manager, Bea is helpful when it comes ot billing.
