Michael Skidmore DMD, Family & Cosmetic Dentistry

Experiencia fantástica: Great service, friendly staff, reasonable, no overselling and always there when you need them on a pinch!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service at affordable prices from a very professional team.

Experiencia fantástica: I came to Dr. Skidmore’s office with a lot of anxiety but him and his team have completely changed my feelings of going to the dentist office. They were able to fix the work of a previous dentist, helped with my fillings, crowns, multiple cleanings and I got the “Invisalign” service (they go by a different name). I’ve been going for a few years and will continue to as well. I’m so happy that I feel confident enough to smile with my teeth in pictures now.

Experiencia fantástica: Well oiled congenial practice with supportive staff.

Experiencia fantástica: Been coming to this office for 10 years. Im very comfortable with the service and staff. Dr Skidmore and staff has always taken good care of me.

Experiencia fantástica: As always awesome staff and service! Thank you ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Always a pleasure going to Dr. Skidmore office whether for cleaning or replacing a crown always great work and an awesome front office thank you

Experiencia fantástica: Always a good experience here. Most people are scared of the dentist. But here I’m very comfortable with the staff here. My cleanings are always pain free and done right. Thank you Dr. Skidmoore for having a great staff and experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing experience here! I won't go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore and his team are amazing. Super friendly and efficient.

Experiencia positiva: Very friendly staff and very caring at all times. My only issue is they are so busy that appointment times can be very far out and you have to keep an eye on text messages as they will send you updates to earlier openings for appointments and you have to act quickly or they will be gone. Other than that, they are wonderful!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmoore highly recommended, Jennifer and staff are amazing. Thank you all

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff. Michelle and Jessica made me feel very comfortable the day of my visit. Jessica has been a pleasure to work with. She knows the needs of the patient. Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at the front desk is always so friendly and welcoming! Natalie did a great job with my cleaning!

Experiencia fantástica: Great office staff and environment. First visit and I look forward to future visits

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome! Had my cleaning done and she was very thorough! And no pain whatsoever! Check up with Dr Skidmore was easy and efficient!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Skidmore's office is always right on time and offers the most professional service… A very thorough cleaning constantly

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional office courteous team!! Great overall experience. Simply the best!!

Experiencia fantástica: My procedure went flawlessly and quickly. Woke up today with minimal pain. The dental hygienist is so upbeat and caring and made me relaxed for the procedure. Great office.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great experience when I visit the office of Dr. Skidmore from the minute I walk in and am greeted by the front desk until the moment I leave. Staff is very friendly and welcoming and I actually think I dosed off while getting my cleaning. Wife says I should be embarrassed but I think I was just so relaxed and at peace that snoring myself awake while having my teeth cleaned is the highest form of appreciation and gratitude for a job well done. Thank you to the staff for all you do, you are appreciated.

Experiencia fantástica: Great doctor and great hygienist

Experiencia fantástica: From top to bottom they are hands down the best. Always greeting with big smiles and a friendly attitude, great communication about upcoming appointments, and making sure patients have a great experience. Office soundtrack is always on point which is a bonus! I appreciate you all for what you do!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband is disabled and there were problems with the dental water pump which she graciously worked around so my physically challenged husband would not have to change rooms. We appreciate her for doing that!!She even assisted us to our car above and beyond!!

Experiencia fantástica: Very great experience, staff was very friendly and my dental hygienist was absolutely amazing. Thank you so much!

Experiencia fantástica: My appointment yesterday was amazing! I hate having my teeth cleaned. It’s usually so painful and I’ve always seen it as necessary pain to endure. If I’m honest, fear has kept me away more times than I care to admit. But yesterday reminded me how important regular cleanings truly are, not just for my smile but for my whole health. My Dental Hygienist Michelle was so gentle, so knowledgeable, so patient and so kind. She made me feel completely at ease. My teeth look and feel amazing! This is the first time I actually rushed to the front desk to make my next appointment. Michelle, thank you for making an old lady happy and for helping me push past my fear. I am sincerely grateful.

Experiencia fantástica: Jenny is an awesome hygienist, personable and thorough. Love her. The entire office staff are friendly, helpful and appreciated. Always smiling.

Experiencia fantástica: LOVE the staff! Jen is the best.. i hope she never retires!! Everyone is friendly and seems to love their jobs.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care and wonderful staff. Hygienist was fantastic and Dr. Skidmore is the best.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen the hygienist there rocks the house…dr Skidmore is lucky to have such a valuable employee…she really cares about the patient and the health of their teeth!

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient for the last 5 years and always have had the BEST experience in my visits. From routine cleanings to other procedures it has always been great service and very experienced professionals doing the work. Highly recommended by both myself and my family with kids.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore and all his staff are great! They all are always friendly. Dr. Skidmore has been my dentist for over 5 years. Thank you for great service!

Experiencia fantástica: The only issue I had was the music was punk rock and it made the visit unpleasant. Please don't make patients feel uncomfortable with poor music.

Experiencia fantástica: Mike gave me a second opinion on a doctor I just saw that took over the practice I used to go to. Turns out that doctor was presenting false cavities that couldnt be found on xray or through visual inspection and he was recommending things that arent necessary. So thanks to Mike my teeth wont be weakened unnecessarily

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very nice and friendly. The Hygienist did a very good job. My teeth are really clean!

Experiencia fantástica: Entire staff were extremely pleasant and professional. I enjoyed visiting while checking in and having procedure. They took images of my tooth where the crown had popped off. Then Dr. Skidmore came in and quickly cleaned my tooth after the examination. He re-cemented my crown back in place and sent me on my way. By the way, my crown work was performed at another office in Northern California and it came off due to Carmel candy!

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience! All the staff is very professional and Kelsey (front staff) is so sweet! The first dentist that I have been to where I don’t feel like I’m being ripped off. This will be my go to dentist from now on.

Experiencia fantástica: Great office, great amazingly professional people. Always gentle.. The best in Calif Steve

Experiencia fantástica: Always super friendly and very informative. My hygienist walked me through everything. Dr. Skidmore is an awesome dentist who cares deeply for all of his patients. Extremely professional and comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Definitely one of the best dentist I’ve gone to. Honest, friendly and efficient, what more could you want! So happy I found this dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: You won’t find a better, honest or more caring Dentist. The facility is sparkling clean as well.

Experiencia fantástica: It takes a lot for me to go out of my way to write a review. But my experience at the dentist office yesterday was the best experience I have had! I hate going to the dentitst. Not only was the staff welcoming and kind. I had to bring my son, I wasn’t able to get him childcare and I already rescheduled this appointment so I didn’t want to do that again. I was sure they were going to be like most doctors offices I have experienced and say they can’t do my exam with my son present and I would have to resechedule again. But to my suprise, they were accomadating! My son is barely a year old and my appointment was right during nap time. He was asleep when we got there, but woke up right as I was called in the back. Immediately he started crying, I kept apologizing. When I had to to get my xrays. They said don’t apologize we all have kids we get it. One of the dental hygenists even offered to try and cheer him up so I could get my xrays done! They worked the appointment around me making sure he was okay! He was able to stay near me and the entire appointment didn’t even take long. All of the staff had the best time managment, I wasn’t waiting long for anything. They made sure I still felt comfortable with a crying baby. Dr. Skidmore was kind, honost and straight to the point! Their hygenists were kind and my cleaning was not even uncomfortable!

Experiencia fantástica: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I don’t know why I’m just now finding this gem of a dental office, but I’m so glad I did! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was bright, clean, and inviting. Jessica and Chelsea at the front desk were absolute rays of ☀️ sunshine warm, welcoming, and greeting me with beautiful smiles that instantly put me at ease. My dental hygienist, McKenna, was nothing short of amazing. She took her time, was extremely thorough yet so gentle, and truly cared about making sure my teeth looked and felt flawless. I left with a smile that is beyond beautiful, and the entire experience was delightful…. Something you don’t often hear when it comes to visiting the dentist! Dr. Micheal Skidmore has built an exceptional practice with an incredible team that makes you feel comfortable, valued, and cared for from start to finish. I can honestly say this was the best dental experience I’ve ever had. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Always receive great care here and Dr.Skidmore is no nonsense. Jen, the hygienist, is a rockstar when it comes to handling this picky patient. You will receive honest service here, no upselling ridiculous and unnecessary dental “services”.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff!!! 5/5 stars all the way Technician took her time cleaning my teeth I was not rushed and felt very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: It is such a delight to have my teeth so well cared for by Jennifer Miss and Dr Skidmore. Their staff in the front was friendly and very efficient.

Experiencia fantástica: I went into my appointment dreading facing 3 small fillings at 8:00 am on Monday morning. Dr. Skidmore and I agreed to start without a numbing shot and one by one I got through it and with the doctor’s talent and experience the work was accomplished in a very short time. Dr. Skidmore is the most skilled dentist I’ve ever had and my whole family goes to him.

Experiencia fantástica: Receptionists are always so welcoming. I love the reminder texts and I love my Dentist and Dental Hygienist ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore’s hygienist Natalie is the Best. Thorough yet gentle. Love coming to get my teeth cleaned. Too bad it’s only twice a year…

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore’s office is always a pleasant experience. Staff is highly qualified and Dr. Skidmore is personal and makes me feel comfortable. He is sincere, doesn’t try to upsell, and always fixes my problem, painlessly! I highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: Hygienist, Michelle, was amazing. Always friendly and goes above and beyond!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Best dental care I have ever had. The hygienists are amazing and nice to talk to and Dr. Skidmore is very honest and does a great job! It is also very good for young children which is a main reason we go.

Experiencia fantástica: From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by the kindness and professionalism of the entire team- from the welcoming receptionists and skilled X-ray technician to Dr. Skidmore and the wonderful hygienist, Laura. Everyone made me feel completely at ease. I'm truly grateful to have found Dr. Skidmore. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone in Temecula looking for exceptional care, reasonable pricing and overall positive experience.

Experiencia fantástica: The very best dentist and dental technician that we have ever been to. Dr. Skidmore's entire staff is very friendly, efficient, and professional. He keeps his office updated with the latest and the best dental equipment available.

Experiencia fantástica: Very efficient courteous and professional dental office from Doctor Skidmore on down-the-line.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience with a friendly staff. I had a dental emergency prior to my vacation, the staff worked with me to get me seen and Dr Skidmore dealt with my issue quickly and effectively while making me feel very comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleased with my recent visit to Dr. Skidmore’s Office for a scheduled cleaning. Greeted by his pleasant and friendly staff.. Hygienist Jennifer is always pleasant , professional ,thorough & a wealth of information. Thank you Dr.Skidmore, and your fine staff. See you next time.

Experiencia fantástica: Corinna is literally the best! Absolutely takes away any dental anxiety I have and makes cleanings a breeze.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience at the dental office of Dr Skidmore! Everyone who works there is very professional and makes the visit a great one!

Experiencia fantástica: First time visiting the office and found my new dentist for sure. Excellent experience from the first welcome to the end of my visit Friendly staff and Dr Skidmore was very kind, honest.

Experiencia fantástica: I met Dr. Skidmore about a year ago when I was talking to someone on a FB social media page in regard to the implant I was getting at my current dentist. (An HMO). I felt I was being charged way too much, and insurance didn’t cover the cost. Dr Skidmore replied what his cost was for the same procedure, which was substantially less, so I completed the procedure at his office. I really liked his honesty, and the fact that he wasn’t trying to “upsell” a bunch of unneeded procedures. Having the HMO, I was unable to trade dental offices as he doesn’t accept HMO. I finally got tired of every time I was going to my dentist, they were telling me I needed procedures I didn’t feel I needed. Each visit, a finance person with a clipboard would come in and go over all of these things that the Dentist and hygienist recommended I needed. A lot was covered by the HMO, but I didn’t want to go through a lot of necessary treatments. I finally traded my insurance to a PPO, And the very first thing I did was called Dr. Skidmore’s office for an appointment. I had my first visit yesterday. Dr. Skidmore told me everything looked good, Except for a crown that was coming loose. He told me he would have an estimate for me to replace that crown. I was surprised at how much less the estimate was for a crown in this practice as it was at the previous practice I was going to. Also, I want to add, that the hygienist, Michelle, was over the top, nice, very gentle and did a great job. At the previous practice, they kept telling me that my gum measurements were deep, and they refused to do regular cleanings, saying I must get deep cleanings. They also tried to sell me a few more treatments (of course not covered by insurance), Funny that the measurements here could be so different, showing in normal range. Michelle said my gums are healthy and deep cleaning is not necessary at this time, just a regular cleaning every 6 mos. I’m pleased with my decision to switch Dentists to this office.

Experiencia fantástica: Jen took care of me for this and my previous cleanings as well as my first time a few years ago. She is always so knowledgeable and it doesn’t hurt that she told me I was tank are of my teeth so well that she was impressed. I’ve also been seeing Natalie for a couple of years right next to Jen and she too is so knowledgeable and gives me good ideas and tips, but both these ladies are absolutely tops and I need to be making my appointments Sooner with them because they’re so popular! Dr Skidmore and his entire staff are such a breath of fresh air with their integrity, genuine friendliness and caring, but another important aspect for me personally is that not one staff member nor Dr Skidmore has ever tried to upsell me, which is why I left my former dental office. I’m so happy I found Dr Skidmore!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore's entire staff are always friendly, professional, and helpful. Brittney has been my hygienist for years and I always appreciate her thoroughness and gentle hands @ each cleaning. Just had my 6 month cleaning and annual mouth x-rays @ Dr. Skidmore's office and the whole process was a positive experience. Front office staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about insurance issues, my hygienist, Brittney, is amazing! She's always thorough, skilled, and gentle when cleaning my teeth. Dr. Skidmore is a fantastic dentist and I highly recommend him to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Clean office, professional staff and a kind, friendly dentist who gets you taken care of. Staff is outstanding.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore has the best dentistry in Temecula. The entire staff is very welcoming and very supportive of those with dental anxiety. It has been a game changer for me and my dental health. I am a cash patient and it is reasonably priced to get the help I need!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my first time at this office. The front office was very efficient, friendly, and welcoming with smiles on their faces! The dental assistant who took my X-rays was also very efficient and friendly explaining the procedures! Dr Skidmore was very professional and explained the x-rays and the physical exam. I could not have been more please with entire office and practice.

Experiencia fantástica: Finally found my dentist and hygienist after three years of looking in Temecula! Both are an amazing and the office staff is the best. No more driving to L.A. thank goodness!

Experiencia fantástica: Love getting my teeth cleaned here. Laura is amazing and very gentle. She is excellent at catching even the slightest change in my teeth. The office staff is excellent!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The entire staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional, making me feel comfortable as soon as I walked in. Dr. Skidmore took the time to thoroughly explain each of my options and answered all my questions with patience and care. The office was clean, and well-organized. I highly recommend Dr. Skidmore to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled dentist. I’m very satisfied with the quality of care I received and will definitely be returning for future dental needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Never a long wait. Very professional yet extremely friendly staff! Dr. Skidmore is great and I trust his advise and work. I have insurance and Dr. Skidmore isn't on it yet I keep going back because I rather go to the best in Temecula.

Experiencia fantástica: My boys (7&9) always have a great experience with Dr Skidmore and his office. Everyone is very kind and things usually run on time or very close to it. Dr Skidmore doesn't talk a whole lot but we feel very confident in his care.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice, so far I go back for dental work. This was my first visit, the office team was very nice I have been going to Dr Skidmore office for almost 2 years. The staff is awesome and Dr Skidmore is an excellent Dr. I won't go anywhere else. I have tried many dental office and Dr Skidmore is the best in the Riverside county.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff, care provided & dentist are all exceptional! Our entire family of 6 sees Dr. Skidmore and we have all had excellent care for years!!

Experiencia fantástica: I have years of history with Dr. Skidmore's office, for corrective and preventative treatments, and my twice a year cleaning/hygiene treatments. Always friendly, and they take the time to explain any questions I may have.

Experiencia fantástica: This is a rather difficult and complex review to post. It is difficult to avoid complimenting and recognizing every single person in the office with whom I engaged over the past 3 days. It is complex because I had: (a) excellent dental care for many years; (b) essentially no dental care for a period of 15 years; and (c) once I reacquired dental coverage, very few dentists were open in my area because of the pandemic, and thus my period of lack of proper care was extended. Fast forward to the last three days - everyone in the office deserves a 5 star rating so I will limit my post to Kelsey (front office) and Natalie (hygienist) who would get 6 stars if Google allowed it! Kelsey had to work through my AARP Medicare Advantage split coverage (HMO for medical but PPO for dental) after United Healthcare first incorrectly classified my coverage as "inactive." After clearing me for prospective treatment, on the second day, Dr. Skidmore and another hygienist quickly and efficiently assessed what needed to be done regarding a cracked porcelain crown, and arrived at a plan that fit within my coverage. On the third day, I called concerning a possible cleaning, and was provided with a convenient time later in the day with Natalie. Because of my checkered dental care history, I really required someone with a higher level of, not only dental but also insurance, SOPHISTICATION to realize that I needed to convince my carrier to cover periodontal cleaning at 3 month intervals instead of regular level cleaning every 6 months. Everyone worked together to come up with a COORDINATED PLAN which fit within the cap of coverage dollars provided by my carrier and MY expectations and ability to pay. What more could one ask for for such a difficult client with such a complex history? I challenge any other dental team in Southwest Riverside County (or North San Diego County for that matter) to even come close to this level of professionalism. DONE.....

Experiencia positiva: Since the one time mixup they have been very good. I had a cleaning and file a filling appt 10/12. I had gotten a cold and called to reschedule. The girl gave me 11/10. I specifically asked that they could do both on that day. She said yes. On arrival the dentist filed the filling (took maybe5 minutes) and said I am done . I asked about the cleaning which was more important. She told me no cleaning was scheduled!! Now I have to wait till April! I would not have come in if I wasn't getting a cleaning. Up until now have been very happy with the office. since this not so good experiance ALL of my appointments have been great 5 star!

Experiencia fantástica: A great staff. Great clean office. Easy parking. The staff and doctors care about your teeth and not there pocket books. They watch and learn about you, then they take action when it is right. No over selling. I have going every 6 months with cleaning that go smoothly. As long as I brush and floss daily’s. I even got a better tooth brush system and using for 2-3 minutes each time. I had a very easy cleaning this time. So I know it is working

Experiencia fantástica: I’m so happy with the bonding he did for me. Not I’m getting whitening trays to whiten my lower teeth. So excited. Thank you Dr Skidmore

Experiencia fantástica: My first visit to Dr. Skidmore. I heard about him from several friends. Everyone was professional and friendly. It’s the most efficient office I’ve even seen. I arrived at 10a and was taken back right after I sat down. X-rays were taken and the dentist reviewed them and examined my teeth. They fit me in for a cleaning on the same day. I was very impressed with the service.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional! Great staff! Beyond impressed! Everyone is so kind, professional and truly enjoying working there! It takes a lot for me to trust a dentist but Dr. Skidmore and all his staff have won me over! Their caring shows in their work! Amazing!

Experiencia fantástica: I love you guys and gals. I have a huge phobia of dentists, and they always make me feel great. I’ve also had a lot of work done, and never been in pain, ever. Good stuff, great practice. I drive 1 hour to go here!

Experiencia fantástica: Michelle did an awesome with my cleaning. As always. Love the new hand held x-ray machine. so much quicker & more comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Ariana was amazing with my little kiddos! Thank you for your fun, gentle and open approach!

Experiencia fantástica: The ladies that run the place are all amazing! Very helpful, cheerful, and professional. Absolutely best choice I made for my dental gealth.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been a patient at Dr. Skidmore’s office for years, and I can’t recommend him enough! He saved me a ton of money when a corporate dental office tried to upsell me on unnecessary services. I went to him for a second opinion, and he confirmed I didn’t need the work. His entire staff is friendly, considerate, and attentive to any concerns or sensitivities. Dr. Skidmore himself is a fantastic dentist—patient, thorough, and never rushed. His hygienists also take their time to ensure a proper cleaning. I’m very happy with his office and will continue to recommend him for general dentistry!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. Dr. Skidmore and staff are great!!

Experiencia fantástica: Let me start by saying I’m deathly afraid of the dentist. My Dental experiences as a kid in the 80s were incredibly painful lol. Back then the Dentist smelled like coffee and cigarettes… Anyway fast-forward to my experience Yesterday. Doctor Skidmore placed two dental implants in my upper right side of my mouth. It took about one hour or less!! I went home and in less than a couple hours I had absolutely no pain. I took two ibuprofens just to be safe after the surgery and that’s it. It’s been approximately 24 hours since the surgery and I feel nothing…. Like I never happened! Thanks Dr. Skidmore. Your whole team is incredible. They all have a great attitude and it really helps When it comes to nervous patients like myself. Appreciate you guys!

Experiencia fantástica: Always a great visit. Brittany the hygienist is gentle and nice. Very comforting personality. Dr Skidmore is the best!!! Been going to this office for years!!!

Experiencia fantástica: The attention of the counter staff and the dentists is spectacular. They are very kind and explain the entire procedure to be performed. I recommend Dr. Skidmore's office.

Experiencia fantástica: Always such a good experience here. Staff is friendly, welcoming and I’m not stuck in the waiting room!

Experiencia fantástica: This was my fourth visit to this practice and I can't speak highly enough of the entire experience beginning to end. Scheduling was easy. The office is state of the art and aesthetically pleasing with views from the exam chairs. The front desk staff was friendly and I was seen promptly at my appointment time. Dr. Skidmore was wonderful and I finally feel that I am at a practice that values the patient and is honest with the work that needs to be done. The hygienist I saw was Jenn and she was extremely kind, professional and thorough. She was knowledgable and explained everything every step of the way and was very conscientious in making sure I was comfortable at all times!

Experiencia fantástica: Love the staff here, everyone is so friendly and accommodating, I have never felt so comfortable in a dental office before!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Skidmore is an excellent dentist. He takes time to answer your questions and provides suggestions on addressing dental issues. The staff is professional and goes out of their way to accommodate patients. Reneá Broderick

Experiencia fantástica: EVERYONE in this office is so warm and inviting. Dr. Skidmore is also warm, kind and was gentle in my mouth. So glad I was referred here by three different people!
