    Dr. K and her staff are the best around! I recently came in for a filling, something I usually dread, but Dr. K and Kenia made it easy. They worked so quickly, and I felt ZERO pain. Even during the novocaine shots, not even a pinch! The filling was in a tough spot, but they did amazing work and made sure my bite was unaffected. Prior to the filling, she had kept a close eye on it for a while, and only recommended the filling until she was absolutely certain it was the best treatment option. I highly recommend Dr. K—she really cares about her patients.

    Dr. Shadi is an exceptionally caring and gentle dentist who truly prioritizes her patients’ comfort and happiness. She is incredibly patient during numbing, always making sure I’m completely pain-free before proceeding. Her attention to detail and pride in her work are evident in every visit. She takes her time, is thorough, and never makes me feel rushed—it’s as if I’m her only patient that day. Thank you, Dr. Shadi!

    I recently returned to San Diego after a few years and wouldn’t even consider going to another dentist. Dr K and her staff remembered my kids by name and immediately recalled procedures that she had done many years ago. She’s quick to call or email with updates to her schedule and always works around my job and the kid’s school. She explains what she’s doing at each appointment and what she’ll need to do for the next appointment. I never leave wondering what’s next or how much it’s going to cost. She’s the best and I won’t go anywhere else as long as I’m here in SD.

    Dr. Shadi and Christina are amazing! Been coming here for over 15 years and continue to commute down to SD for treatment even though I moved to the IE. You will not find a better dentist. Her work is spectacular and I will continue to visit her for dental work.

    Dr. Shadi Kastenholz at Black Mountain Family Dentistry is absolutely fantastic. She first helped me in an emergency situation when I had broken two teeth and went above and beyond to make sure I received the very best treatment and outcome. I have had more painful and stressful cavity fillings than her repair of multiple teeth. Every visit I have had with her and her team since then has only been better. Simply put, Dr. Shadi Kastenholz is the best dentist I have ever been treated by. She truly cares about her patients and I cannot recommend her enough. I do not hope to ever have to leave her practice.

    Office staff and hygienists are fantastic!! Dr K is exactly what you want in a dentist - honest, conservative treatment. She explains what you need and why, without judgement or pressure. I found her to be very fairly priced, as I've needed some care that was not covered by my insurance. I also appreciate her patience and attention to detail - she helped me work through a problem with my crown and wouldn't settle until it was perfect. Highly recommend Black Mountain Dentistry.

    Shadi has been our family dentist for the last two years, I've done two crowns and multiple cavities with her. Always happy with the results. She will treat you like family. They do a great due diligence to make sure you get the most benefits out of your insurance and there would be no surprise bill. I also got a great referral for root canal. Christina always did a great job in cleaning.
