Dr Sabrina grew up around the world, living in Singapore, London, and Dubai, during which she had the best time meeting new people and exploring local cuisines. She moved to the US for college and has stayed put ever since! After completing college at Johns Hopkins University, where she studied molecular and cellular biology, she completed dental school at The University of Pennsylvania.

She then swiftly traded in her snow boots for some flip flops to move to San Diego and has been loving it ever since! When she’s not helping create healthy smiles, Dr. Sabrina loves spending her time going on runs and hikes, cooking, visiting farmers markets, and eating her way through San Diego’s vegan food scene with her husband!

She loves chatting about teeth and the yummy things they can chew and always enjoys hearing about her patients favorite foods!

Switched to Children's Dentistry of San Diego from another pediatric dental practice around two years ago, and it truly made a world of difference. The office staff and dental hygienists have always been extremely patient, kind, and compassionate, which has made dental visits for my young neurodivergent son so much easier on him. Dr. Cuisia is an absolutely amazing dentist. Highly recommend for your little ones!

The dental hygienist that assisted Kaleb today, Fifa? I forgot her name was very gentle and very nice. She deserves 5 stars. It's my bad I didn't get her name properly. The doctor was equally nice, too.

I was incredibly impressed by the staff at Children's Dentistry of San Diego! Not only were they all professional, but they each were also warm, personable, polite, and respectful. My kids (1 is very nervous at dentist's due to a negative past experience), were very relaxed and comfortable. I would definitely recommend this practice to all families with kids!

From beginning to end was treated very nicely. The nurse Leslie is so caring and took the time to explain to my 9 year old the importance of brushing her teeth. The rep at the front desk made it easy to schedule future appointments. This dentistry is very welcoming. I'm so glad I picked this office.

Fantastic office! They accommodated me wanting my children to be seen back to back and in a private room as well as coordinating that again after I had to cancel when the kids were sick. Fantastic job! When we arrived everything was clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and they were brilliant with the children! We will 100% be back.

I just want to give a shout out to Leslie the dental hygienist, she's cleaned my young sons teeth twice and both times she truly did a wonderful job making him feel safe and comfortable. He's very shy and nervous about the dentist but she never acted in a rush, and was happy to be there and help him feel okay. So patient and sweet with him. She understood how his first experiences with the dentist will set the tone for the future! Thank you Leslie!

The staff was extremely welcoming and made sure my sons first experience was a great one. He didn't want to sit in the chair so we moved to a small room and they comforted him since he was scared. The dentist was very informative about dental care and cavities and made sure my questions were answered. And my son ended up loving the dentist so it was a win for me. Definitely feel lucky to found this spot. Thank you!

I went there the first time last year with my kids. It was further from my home than I realized and thought I wasn't going to come back. We had such a great experience that we decided to stick with them. Just went back and were very happy. They are great with little kids and very very nice.

My kids aways leave happy and everyone makes a great effort of making my children comfortable and safe with whatever dentistry needs they require.

Very great atmosphere for the kids. The place is set up to where the kids have a positive feeling about going to the dentist, no more waiting in a lobby hearing the sound of drilling, they manage to shield the sounds from the other kids in the lobby. The staff is awesome and the Dentists know how to put the children at ease! Definitely recommend this place for your children's dental needs.
