Tiffany D.
My husband and I drive 50min to 1 hour to come to this dental office because we trust them. Dr. Sarno is an excellent dentist! She is very gentle and doesn’t try to push any unnecessary dental procedures on you. I had my cleaning with Jade this past Saturday and she was super nice and made me feel at ease. So far everyone has been very nice to us every time we visit. It’s in a medical office building so it’s easy to find, parking is a breeze, and the office is really modern and clean. I highly recommend this place!
Christine D.
I have been going to Foothill Modern Dental for many years. Even though I live in Newport Beach, I still drive to Foothill Ranch to see Dr Sarno because she is that amazing at what she does. I have visited many dental practices in my area of Newport and none of them can compare to her expertise in the field of dentistry and her professionalism. The staff are helpful, kind and inviting, always smiling and ready to assist you. The office is maintained to a high standard of cleanliness. Jen is the best hygienist, she makes me feel at ease, especially because I have some anxiety when it comes to getting work done in my mouth. My teeth always feel so clean and I actually love going to the dentist. I highly recommend Dr Sarno and her team, you will be satisfied and happy with their work.

I am so impressed. First off, the staff is top notch. Everyone is very friendly and attentive. They all seem happy to be there and happy to help you. Dr. Sarno took her time with me and addressed my issues. At no point during the visit did I feel like recommendations for dental care were fluffed up to get more money (which I just experienced elsewhere). She was very honest and to the point. As for the office itself, it was very neat, clean and spacious. They seem to have all of the latest technology. The space around the dental chairs were roomy and didn’t make me feel closed in. I am so happy that I found Foothill Modern Dental. I will be recommending them to everyone I know!

A few days ago, I got my front tooth fixed by Dr. Sarno and I’m not gonna lie, it was perfectly fixed. My tooth looked the same as it did before it was chipped and my confidence was brought back so I could finally smile with my teeth. Dr. Sarno made me feel comfortable while doing the process which I really enjoyed. And today, I had my teeth cleaned by Jen and she did an amazing job. She did not only clean my teeth, but she also made me feel comfortable and safe in the space. She told me to raise my hand if something feels uncomfortable in my tooth area or if I need water or just to stop, so I really did feel safe. Not a lot of dental offices make you feel like that but truly their staff are kind, amazing, and feel welcoming. The place also was really clean and looked very modern. Thank you Jen and Dr. Sarno!!

Dr. Sarno and her team are exceptional. From the moment I spoke with her front office staff to make an appointment to my son getting his Maryland bridge each and every person made us feel welcome and taken care of. Dr. Sarno went above and beyond to work with a very complicated orthodontic situation so that my son didn’t have to be without a front tooth for weeks. She is a perfectionist and wants her patients’ smiles to be just right. If I could give her 10 stars, I would!

I had been with Dr. Sarno since the start of her practice. She was also vetted by my previous dentist whom which she acquired the business from. Dr. Sarno has done an exemplary job in the work she's done for me, replacing amalgam fillings with ceramic composites which not only look better, but last longer. She also has in house 3D CNC fabrication for replacement teeth and a wonderful office environment with effective staff and hygienists. I'm very pleased with the work and highly recommend her for future dental needs.

To day was my 1st visit to Modern Dental, what a great experience! The staff was very welcoming from my initial greeting, check in was a snap! Jenn was very thorough and and methodically cleaned my teeth exception. She was very patient and made sure that I understood what was going on in my mouth! I met Dr. Sarno and again, she was professional and friendly. Together we set a plan in motion for my teeth! Finally and equally as important, Pam set me up with my follow up appointments as well as helping me set up a referral with an oral surgeon! I think I found my new Dental family!
