After eleven years of active-duty service as a United States Navy dental officer stationed entirely in San Diego, Dr. Michael Foust opened his private dentist practice at 4633 Ingraham St Suite A, 92109. Known around the office as Dr. Mike, he earned his undergraduate degree in mathematics from The Ohio State University in 2002, then received a full Navy scholarship to attend Indiana University School of Dentistry, where he completed his Doctor of Dental Surgery in 2006. A General Practice Residency at Naval Medical Center San Diego followed in 2007, after which he served across four San Diego duty stations and completed two deployments. Patients picking up fresh seafood at The Fishery on nearby Cass Street are only a short drive from the office. He acquired the long-running Ingraham Street practice from Dr. Joseph Fallon IV in July 2023 and immediately began investing in advanced equipment for implants, crowns, cosmetic procedures, Invisalign, and whitening services. The practice identifies as veteran-owned, offers services in both English and Spanish, and provides payment plans alongside standard insurance billing. Reviewers frequently mention receptionist Kathy and dental assistant Melissa by name, crediting them with creating an unusually warm front-office atmosphere. Dr. Foust volunteers at local veteran events, donating his time and dental skills to fellow service members. His Buckeye-themed personal office—a nod to his Ohio State roots—has become a conversation starter with new patients. Couples heading to brunch afterward often stop at Costa Brava on Cass Street for its relaxed Pacific Beach patio. With a perfect 5.0-star Google rating across 70 reviews, the practice draws patients from Pacific Beach, La Jolla, and Crown Point who value a smaller, relationship-driven dental office.
