This is long overdue! I've come to Dr Kang multiple times already. Doctor and all staff members, especially Liz, Erica, and I believe it was Heidi are all so kind and gentle! Dr Kang and Erica are always so attentive and making sure I'm okay and not in any pain. Doctor explains all the procedures before and while he's performing them. He recommends what's best and never tries to upsell anything unnecessary, unlike some other offices. I initially came for a cleaning and had some troubles with my insurance but Liz was so helpful in dealing with my insurance and doing her best to get approvals for the necessary procedures. Highly recommend Doctor Kang and his office! read more

all the fillings broke and they just recommend more expensive procedures if you have bad insurance like medi cal. Probably will butcher up every procedure sequentially until the last procedure is remaining which is also the most expensive. read more

Honestly, I have such mixed feelings about AppleTree. I really liked the proximity of this dental office to my home so that made it an easy first choice when I moved to the area. Dr. Kang is a lovely human and overall very approachable - good at explaining things, really kind, feels like he takes his time with patients. And the office / patient spaces are really nicely done and clean. Generally, that's pretty much all you need in a dentist you only see a couple times a year. However, there are some big flags that are making me contemplate whether or not I need to find a new dentist. Flag #1: Every time I've gone in, the staff tries to pressure me into braces. It's cosmetic, has nothing to do with my health, and I'm happy with my teeth as they are. I've repeatedly said I don't want them and they still try to persuade me into it. It makes me feel less like a patient and more like a dollar sign. Flag #2: the office communications could be a lot better. My pets have vet offices with better follow-up and reminders. I had to reschedule an appointment and made sure to reach out in advance so that I wasn't taking a slot on their schedule that could go to someone else. I sent a message and left a voicemail. I never received any return messages, calls or emails confirming that they had cancelled my apptmt officially. I had to keep calling until I finally talked to a person to confirm that it was off the schedule. Flag #3: even as I try not to waste their time, they wasted my time. When I finally did go in for my rescheduled appointment for a routine teeth cleaning, they advised a different procedure but it would have to get re-routed to my insurance for approval and I could not get my cleaning as scheduled. (This was actually not a new request - after my LAST cleaning, they said they were going to check the insurance for it and it should have been done then. That was when I first learned about the procedure. Dr. Kang was surprised when I knew the name of it, but it was BECAUSE of my last appointment). 5-6 months later, I'm back in, I've taken time away from work, only to have gone in for nothing. It's now been almost 2 months since that appointment, and nothing but crickets about the reschedule and status of the procedure. I even called to check in, left a voicemail, and no call-back. So I am trying to justify it and do what I can to try to stick with AppleTree rather than going through the trouble of establishing care somewhere else. But I also can't keep trying to make ghost appointments that aren't going to happen. It shouldn't be like pulling teeth just to get a teeth cleaning read more

I went in for a deep cleaning and had a great experience. Friendly staff, great service, and very patient and gentle. They made me feel comfortable the entire time. Highly recommend! read more

Few years ago I did my root canal treatment here. My crown was broken in less than 2 years and I went back for a replacement. I was told I had to pay for a full price and I left. Now, my molar got reinfected and needs to extract my tooth. Never do any root canal treatment here! read more

We've came to this dentist a few times and the customer service seems to get worse with each visit. We came in a few weeks ago and they said they only had time to do 1 cavity because it was later in the day. I didn't pick the appt time, they did so it was a little weird that they didn't plan that better. We came back another day and was not greeted or even looked at when we signed in. After waiting 20 minutes we asked if we needed to fill out any paperwork, she said no and to just wait. We get into a room and the tools they pull out don't look like anything we've seen at other dentists. Usually they open a sterile package with clean drills and tools. These were carried in on a dirty plastic holder (see picture). Concerned about the equipment we asked for new or at least clean ones. Their demeanor got worse and the responded that they would use them on their own mother. After that they stated that we would need a specialist and they couldn't fill the cavities. That is a pretty standard practice so clearly it was about the request for new tools. At that point we didn't want them to do the work anyways. We've never seen any medical/dental equipment look this worn or gross before! It could've been a completely different experience had they just been understanding. read more

AppleTree Dental - Not sure how they see this as clean and sterile dental burs. - General Dentistry Near Me - Anaheim, California

I was meaning to get a wisdom tooth extraction + cleaning and I went to Bright Now Dental in Lake Elsinore first and they quoted me $1,700 with my insurance. I gave AppleTree Dental a call and they said they could do it for $50, which was wild. I'm not one to usually write reviews, but this was amazing. Liz over the phone was super considerate and welcoming, and when I came in, Dr. Kang was also amazing, calm, and gentle even when numbing my gums. I never do good with needles but I promise you I didn't even feel a thing. I felt like they did so much to help me (same day that I called, too) so I had to return the favor and leave a great review. I love them and I totally recommend them to anyone in the area, especially since I drove all the way out from Lake Elsinore. read more

I was very impressed with my first impression of this dental clinic. Clean and professional. The front desk team is very kind and friendly. The office manager Liz is very approachable and helpful. I would highly recommend this location. read more

Was referred here by a friend after I got a quote somewhere else, and I'm so glad I decided to come to Appletree for a second opinion. The whole staff is amazing, and I wanted to give a special shoutout to Dr. Kang, Liz, and Vanessa! Liz worked with me on a tight schedule and helped me figure out my insurance benefits. Dr. Kang and Vanessa saw me through the care itself: two root canals, some fillings, and a deep cleaning, making sure I was comfortable the entire time. Overall a great experience, definitely recommend. read more

If you're reading this review to decide if you should go to AppleTree, you don't have to do any more searching as this is hands-down the best dentistry you could possibly go to. I've had multiple dentists throughout my life and hated every experience yet somehow Dr. Kang makes me look forward to my appointments. The moment you walk into the clinic, you're greeted by a warm and friendly staff who immediately make you feel at ease. Dr. Kang does such a great job at alleviating any dental anxieties you may have. The clinic itself is modern, well-equipped, and impeccably clean, reflecting Dr. Kang's commitment to providing the best possible care. What truly sets Dr. Kang apart is his genuine concern for his patients. Throughout my visits, he took the time to listen attentively to my concerns and address any questions I had with patience and empathy. It's evident that he genuinely cares about each patient's well-being and strives to build a strong dentist-patient relationship based on trust and open communication. Dr. Kang's kindness and compassion were evident in every aspect of my treatment. Whether it was a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure like a root canal or implant, Dr. Kang approached each with unwavering dedication and expertise. He carefully explained every step of the process, ensuring that I felt comfortable and confident in his hands. I greatly appreciated his attention to detail. Beyond that, he is the only dentist who neglected to judge the rough conditions of my teeth or cast blame as to why they might be as bad as they are. And my teeth were pretty bad! I needed a handful of fillings, a root canal and 2 implants and he never once made me feel ashamed of it. What impressed me the most about Dr. Kang was his comprehensive range of dental services. Having had unpleasant experiences with dentists who frequently referred me to other specialists, I was relieved to discover that Dr. Kang is skilled in various areas of dentistry. From routine check-ups and cleanings to complex procedures like root canals and implants, he is a one-stop solution for all your dental needs. This convenience eliminates the hassle and stress of bouncing between different practitioners, allowing you to place your trust in a dentist who consistently delivers outstanding results. If you are searching for a dentist who genuinely cares about your well-being, provides exceptional care, and offers a comprehensive range of dental services, Dr. Kang is the best choice. His kindness, professionalism, and dedication to his craft set him apart from the rest. With Dr. Kang, you can rest assured that you will be in the hands of a dentist who values your comfort and satisfaction above all else. Don't hesitate to choose Dr. Kang as your dentist; you won't regret it! read more

Took my kid here because I was recommended.... Although back office has amazing and kind workers, the front office is very rude. The lady in the front seems to have an attitude which seems personal. I also had to call twice to make an appointment because the receptionist clicked twice while I was put on hold. read more

I've been in search of a dentist since my out is state move. So glad I found Apple Tree Dental. A clean and warming office with state of the art equipment. They have Hulu in each room and even chargers for your phone. Dr. Kang and staff are amazing! So nice and personable. read more

AppleTree Dental - Free swag post cleaning! Jackpot! - General Dentistry Near Me - Anaheim, California

I have been going there for about three years - thats about six times. I had good experience earlier as Dr. Mike took care of me and suggested couple of treatments that appear to help with my dental condition. However, last few visits have been disappointing. The cleaning has been not done with thorough care, I have come back home with tarter on my teeth. My last appointment was especially disappointing as it failed on multiple counts. 1. I arrived and they did not have record of my appointment. (I had text confirming appointment). They said they would take me in and I was taken in within 5 minutes. 2. Cleaning took about 8 minutes, which includes water jet scaling and prophylaxis (polishing), both. The hygienist went around gum line for scaling but totally did not go over the areas in-between teeth as I was feeling it with eyes closed. Note that typical time of such procedure over my last 23 years of experience is 30-60 minutes. 3. The computer was not turned on to check on prior notes or to take any notes. 4. Dentist did not come to check the work of the hygienist or to check condition of teeth. This is a standard procedure. 5. I came home without complaining, checked my teeth in the mirror and found slight tartar on couple of places. This was second time I observed and called the office to explain the experience. Before 3:45 PM and the call went to voicemail (should be far from office close). I left a voice message requesting to talk to the dentist. 5. A day has passed and no callback from office. I was hoping I can continue using their service with future assurance as they are close to my home. However, with appointment blunder, poor service and lack of feedback loop the the doctor, I felt the need to post the review and search for my next option. I hope the office reads the review and do needful. read more

I have a long history of avoiding Dentists until the very end of a tooth due to my teeth roots are exceptionally long which makes the work difficult for the dentists, and this has resulted in shoddy work and lots of pain. Also, several dentists in the past have overcharged, or pushed unnecessary root canals and crowns at high prices which would fail as the tooth was never able to be saved. Dr. Kang, and the team at Appletree Dental, have been amazing!! Dr. Kang not only removed a cracked and, unknown to me, infected root canal, (failed twice in the first 4 months), which never should have been done. Dr. Kang says, "I do not practice heroic dentistry. I do what works." Dr. Kang filled 8 cavities (yeah, I know!), deep cleaned under my gums, and grafted bone to my jaw for an implant. He never started any work without my confirming I was completely numb in the area, and he stopped so many times without complaining when I would ask for a break (I have really bad TMJ). He even noticed and filled a pinpoint cavity the x-rays missed while he was working on another tooth!! He knows his craft, and is highly skilled. Appletree Dental was able to get everything but the implant covered under my insurance, but they charged me such a low price it was CHEAPER than the root canal and crown I originally had!! They work with you on your appointment times, and they have great communication, both by phone and text. Thank you, Dr. Kang and Appletree Dental!! read more

The receptionist is extremely rude she doesn't care to argue and have attitude . I told the lady I just want to make a appointment and she was arguing with me then she told me I don't need to make an appointment I can go somewhere else. I am so horrified on how she was so unprofessional and didn't care to assist me with an appointment. I will no longer come here again. read more

This my first time going to AppleTree for treatment. My son has been going here for over a year and my mother in law has just started coming here, and both have high praise for Dr Kang. I needed to take care of a root canal that was infected and my old Endodontist couldn't get rid of so I decided to try Dr Kang myself and I'm glad I did! He listens to his patients and explains every step he takes and long story short, I'm very pleased with his work and everything about the procedure. read more

I've been going to AppleTree Dental for a while now and it is a really great place. Everyone from the dentists to the staff are very friendly. Front desk Liz is awesome and was able to assist me in determining the best option that suits my needs. My hygienist, (DR. Kang), has a keen eye, very detailed and does such a great job! I recently went from partial flippers that were a few years old to a more permanent porcelain implant bridge. I highly recommend AppleTree if you're looking for new dentist's office. read more

Amazing experience with Dr. Kang! You're in great, experienced hands here, plus the entire staff is very welcoming and kind.

I was referred to this dental practice by a friend, and after coming here, I realized how fortunate I am to be surrounded by great friends. Dr. Kang is definitely one of the greatest out in the field. I have never felt more at ease sitting through a dental procedure before. Dr. Kang is extremely professional and considerate and will make sure the experience is as comforting as possible. As much as I don't look forward to dental visits, I do feel better knowing I've come across such a wonderful practice for when I do need a dental procedure done. Aside from Dr. Kang, staff all around are incredibly profesional and courteous. Office manager Liz was very helpful since the first time I called to set up an appointment. All of the dental assistants have been incredibly nice and attentive as well. As my friend once recommended this place to me, I feel confident in doing the same with anyone else reading this review. Give them a visit, and you'll feel right at home. read more

Highly recommend this Dental Practice. The staff was courteous, friendly and the office clean and pleasant. Dr. Kang is professional and his demeanor calm. I felt very confident about his skills. After a couple of unpleasant experiences I have had at another dental practice in Orange County, this was a welcome and wonderful experience. Even without insurance, the price for services was very reasonable. read more

I've been meaning to write this review, but even just getting it to it now I still feel the same way about this place, it's the best! I first came here in January in desperate need of a root canal, and I'm glad I got it done here! Dr. Kang is one of the best dentists I've ever visited, and made the procedure easy and I felt like I was in good hands the whole time. The place itself is nice and clean, and all of the staff I encountered was friendly. Everyone even cared enough to remember little facts about me from previous conversations. You can tell that everyone here, especially Dr. Kang, cares about their patients. read more

Since I am the first one to leave a review, I'll have to rate AppleTree Dental with 5 stars because as a patient you want to be welcomed and treated well.. that is exactly what you will get when you go. I personally know Dr. Kang and he is so far the greatest! The assistants are very nice and friendly! I'm currently in the process to get braces so I had to get one of my wisdom teeth out today and I'm actually feeling great because Dr. Kang won't start the procedure until you are feeling comfortable and numb so you got nothing to worry about if you end up doing the same. Overall, this place is the best so far! read more

I've had the good fortune of having Dr. Mike Kang as my dentist for over 15 years and I will continue to follow him wherever he moves.

He is also extremely knowledgeable in the dentistry field. His staff is friendly and his office is super clean. I highly recommend Dr. Kang and his team to anyone and everyone! read more
