Dr. Meerweis Stanisai, DDS

Can I keep seeing Dr. Stanisai?

Yes. When Dr. Neff retired after more than 34 years, his letter to patients made it clear that Dr. Stanisai will continue to see patients here.

Dr. H. Pourshirazi is now caring for patients at our Murrieta office as well. The same caring team, the same office and the same phone number are all staying.

Where did Dr. Stanisai go to dental school?

Dr. Stanisai is a proud graduate of Loma Linda University School of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2000.

You can look up any California dentist’s license on the state Department of Consumer Affairs License Search.

How does Dr. Stanisai care for patients?

Dr. Stanisai’s commitment to excellence is matched by his dedication to creating a welcoming, compassionate environment for every patient he serves.

That matters if dental visits make you nervous. The ADA suggests telling the office about your anxiety when you book and again when you arrive, and agreeing on a hand signal so you can take a break during care.

Family, community and life outside the office

Originally from Redlands, California, Dr. Stanisai and his wife, Dr. Hazel Calinisan, made Temecula their home in 2001. There, they raised their family and built strong ties to the community.

He takes great pride in his family. His daughter is a UCLA graduate preparing for a career in law, and his son is continuing his studies at the University of Notre Dame. Their two Australian Shepherds complete the family.

Beyond dentistry, he enjoys weightlifting, traveling, cooking and, most of all, spending time with his loved ones. If you live in Temecula too, see our page for Temecula patients.

What else is new at the office?

Dr. Stanisai’s patients will also see new options, as Dr. Neff’s letter explains. Specialist care for oral surgery, root canal treatment, braces and aligners, and children’s dentistry will be available right here, and dental implants will be placed in our office, from start to finish.

The office is also adding 3D imaging, digital X-rays and digital impressions. Read more on our office and technology page.
