My whole experience was great, from assistants to meeting Dr. La. I am hoping to make him my new regular dentist

I'm switched dental provers after a move and found Arlington Family through Open Care. I couldn't be more pleased. Everyone has been very helpful and friendly. Most importantly, when I had to get the shot before my fillings, Dr. La was kind and gentle!! No pain. Olivia was attentive and super supportive, too. Thank you! read more

I went to many experienced dentist that told me if you have root canal done then you should have crown other wise you don't need it. This dentist try to tell you good to have..yea sure also $700 pulled from your wallet!! beware! read more

I come here for my annual cleaning and the service and care I get is always great! Tons of parking and I never have to wait long.

We receive outstanding dental with Dr La! The staff is always courteous and friendly.

This review happen over a year ago but I'm writing this now because I saw that I had reviews here and I needed to update them. Down to 3 stars I no longer go to this dentist. The reason is they are very religious. From the music played in the rooms. I put up with the music for many years. On my visit they had a Preacher on the radio while I'm getting my teeth clean. It was a very anti gay sermon. Gays going to hell stuff. And I'm gay did not feel comfortable at all. I was very upset and told them to turn that off or I leaving. They turned it off but they looked surprised. I do not want to be preached to while I'm having my teeth cleaned. Or do want to hear music telling me to follow them. As for the office they have a great front desk. And very good hygienist. And I like Dr. La. I just will not go to a place pushing there religion on me. read more

Sold experience, professional from the start! Office staff were professional and helpful. I was a new patient and got an office visit right away. The Dr. was great, explained everything and gave me options. Everything was smooth, efficient and professional!. You can tell this office has been doing this a while. If you have issues, it's probably your fault. read more

Dr La is great, but the employees who handle billing are horrible. Last August, a family member who had dental work done received a bill from office. They said that insurance company NEVER RECEIVED XRAYS! So instead of them resenting xrays, they sent us the bill! After having to call and complain they resent xrays after 7 MONTHS! Now, she needs to be seen again but cannot go there because insurance issue needs to be resolved! I have also had issues with front office for scheduling. read more

Excellent dentist. Dr. La is very concerned about making sure that all his patients are pain free. He's also very thorough. Not only is Dr.La excellent, his technicians especially Brandy are also. I highly recommend this dental office. read more

Very very rude customer service from the receptionist. Condescending attitude and honestly I don't even want to come here because of that woman on the phone. This dentistry office should get a new receptionist who is actually kind and wants to have this job. read more

Dr. James La has been my dentist for more than 10 years and I have consistently received the best of care from him. I've had a lot of work done, including fillings, root canals, crowns, and orthodontia, as well as regular cleanings. Dr. La is a consummate professional who takes great care to make me as comfortable as possible during every procedure. Best of all, he can give painless shots, and has such excellent skills that procedures seem to take less time than expected. I also appreciate the hygienists and staff who work with him. Everyone is competent, friendly, and respectful. I feel fortunate to have such a great dentist and would recommend Dr. La to anyone needing dental care, especially those who may dislike going to the dentist. Dr. La and his staff will take excellent care of you. It will be a truly positive experience. read more

Dr La and his entire staff are AMAZING! He has been my family's dentist for over 12 years. I have always been pleased with the work he has done and did not hesitate to have him do my veneer work. He listened to my concerns (fears) and put me completely at ease. He was very detail oriented to ensure my smile turned out perfect. He is very lucky to have such a great staff! They work well together and are always a pleasure to see when i visit. They all take great care of my family each time we visit! read more

Nothing but amazing, wonderful, fantastic things to say about this place! They truly make you feel like family from the minute you walk in to even after you leave. You won't be disappointed, go see them! read more

Last year, my cross front tooth broke an half while having lunch with my wife. Flash back, Dr La advised me years before that "you need to see orthodontist, because you have cross teeth, the lower one will worn out the upper front tooth" I ignored his advice. Imagine, My root canal hung out, hurt hurt and hurt... I called Dr La office, an hour later I walked out of his office with temp crown and painless procedure. Weeks late, I came back and got a permanent crown in place. Happy me! Two days ago, my tooth #13 (I guessed) was fractured I noticed some times I bite something using that tooth, It was shocking sharp pain shoot to my head! Called Dr La office again, Staff got me in for check up few hours later, X-ray taken to confirm and came up with procedure. 8:30 am next day came back and hour 25 mins later I waked out with temporary crown. Big THANKS to Dr La and his assistant Brenda. Dr La and his staffs deserve 5 P's from me: Polite - all staffs and Dr La always greeting me with warm welcome! Precise - Each staff knows exactly what their roles are. Brenda told me Dr La trained her well and she been with Dr La for years. Punctuation - I told Brenda I have a meeting at 10am, she told me that she will get me out of here by 9:45am. She did Patience - I don't have to say more. They all listen to your story not hurry do do and next next... Professionals - come and see how nice Dr. La's dental office is and how well his staffs working in harmony to judge them yourself. See you in next few weeks for permanent crown! read more

Two words "HIDDEN JEWEL". The moment I walked through those doors I was greeted with warm smiles and friendly personality's from his AWESOME staff. My dental hygienist, Veronica, was very patient, professional, and sincere when explaining my procedure (root canal, crown). DR. LA is one of the BEST DENTIST EVER! With a smile like his you have to trust him! On a serious note Dr. La has such peace, comfort and professionalism about him when he walks into a room. PAINLESS SHOTS might I add...definitely a plus for me!! I absolutely love this place!! Whats great is that I totally found them on my own...BEST DECISION ever! Thank you for being so amazing! You guys rock!!! :) read more

Wow where do I start.... Staff leaves a lot to be desired. I was mischarged and it wasn't corrected and kept getting told to call back. The dental work itself also left a lot to be desired. I was unable to have anything cold near one side of my mouth for weeks. Months later, it is now better. read more

Very upfront and personable, Very reasonable price and customer service was perfecto!

Dr La was great but his staff was uninterested in helping or offering any reason as to why they refused to run both insurance coverages. The lady we both spoke with (i can't recall her name and don't want to call someone out incorrectly) was completely unapologetic & lacked any compassion or care whatsoever. We both carry dental insurance and she refused to file with both insurances OR to even see which one would provide more coverage. Given all the COVID isolations and mandatory time off from work- we could have used that compassion rather than the rude attitude we were both given when we called individually to try and get assistance with this. read more

I have been a patient here for so long that I can't remember having another Dentist. Dr. La and his team are always professional and personable. There was a time years ago when my insurance changed and I had to see another dentist. I went to Dr. La's office immediately after my visit and told Mary that regardless of insurance/price, I would be returning for my next visit. I see the dentist every 6 mos. and am a baby if work needs to be done. They are always helpful and calming to my family and me. I am saddened to see a negative review for Dr. La as it doesn't reflect them at all. read more

Dr James La was by far the best dentist I've been to as far as making me comfortable and doing a fast quality job. I always have extreme anxiety about the dentist and he put me at ease. Plus he made me laugh, good guy!! read more

A month ago I got a filling that turned into a root canal because when it was fixed, the dentis got too close to the nerve and killed it. I rerturned to my dentist at Brident dental and they wanted me to wait 2 weeks so they could do my root canal. DrLa was the ONLy doctor to do an effort to accododate his schedule to attend my dental emergency. He was GREAT , very caring and at a very reasonable cost (much lower than the other place). His staff was super nice and friendly. They were angels. If I have waited 2 weeks to get this fixed, my tooth would have converted into an infection. I'm glad Dr La fixed it. I'm never going back to Briden dental. read more

Dr. La and his team are awesome!!! I couldn't have found a better dental office. Everyone is so friendly every time! Dr. La is very gentle..never feel a thing when he gives shots. read more

Arlington Family Dentistry is the place to go for all your Dental needs !! I was always so afraid to go to the dentist as far as I can remember. Since day one the Staff and Dr La made me feel like family I he has been so gentle with all my care. He explains step by step what is to be done and makes sure you fully understand all your care and options. He is so gentle when give you the numbing meds and I never feel any pain of the shots. You are top priority when you are in his care. His Staff is amazing. !!! Friendly and informative !! Please don't looking any further make your appt now!!! You will be thrill with your dental care :) Thanks Dr La. Veronica A read more

Since then I have been back to get my own dental work. Every single person I've encountered there is so friendly. They make me feel very comfortable. Very sweet people up there. My dental hygentiest, Kelly, did a great job in explaining everything to me and since I had to go back for a deep cleaning, I requested to have her again. Dr La is fast and efficient. I've only had my fill-ins done on one side, so I will be back there soon. His dental assistant was very friendly as well and always asked if I was doing ok. I am glad I found a place that I am happy with. And my son loves the treasure chest at the end:) read more

I had an emergency called in on Mon. evening and was seen the next day. Evaluated and then came back an hour later for them to be able to fix my tooth. Dr. La and his entire staff has always treated myself and my husband with the most integrity as I've always said will tell you when someone is a toad and when they are not. These people have always worked at trying to assist me with my issues (have physical limitations) I never would want to go to anyone else. Treated well for many year. read more

Had my fillings done here. Awesome job!! Didn't feel a thing. My 11year old daughter also came and the staff was super friendly. Highly recommend. read more

I no longer fear going to the dentist. Dr. La and his staff are amazing! They are super friendly and always on time. I have the biggest fear of needles and shots - Dr. La's makes it painless! read more

I've been attending AFD for 7 years and they are phenomenal. Dr. La is a consummate professional and his staff is both friendly and efficient! I would highly recommend this dentist office to anyone in the area and even those outside Arlington! They are definitely worth the drive! read more

Great dentist office with friendly and knowledgeable office and dental staff. Oh yeah, Dr. La is not bad either.

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. La and his staff for years. We never have to wait and he doesn't add unnecessary things to the plate. He explains what he's doing and respects us as people and patients. Great office! Would recommend to anyone! read more

Dr. La and his staff make me and my family feel like extended family. Dr. La is gentle in his approach so you feel at ease. I have a special needs son who was very anxious about getting a crown, but Dr. La was slow and gentle while his assistant Brandy gave him a play by play. It really eased his anxiety since he knew what to expect all the way. Also, my whole family now goes to him for their dental needs, including emergency visits because he will find a way to get you smiling and feeling better. Love this dentist!! read more

I have been going to Arlington Family Dentistry since I was 11 and am now 33 and would never consider going to another Dentist due to the professionalism and care Dr. La shows me each and every time I come in. He takes the time to explain what is needed and why it is needed which makes me feel comfortable we are doing the right thing. All of the staff, including Dr. La, at Arlington Family Dentistry are wonderful! They are always helpful, happy and genuinely cares about me and the service I am given. I highly recommend Arlington Family Dentistry as your dentist of choice and new dental family! read more

I've been going to Arlington Family Dentistry for over 10 years. Dr. Law is amazing I wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff is great and his bedside manner is top notch! read more

For years I dreaded visits to a dentist. This changed about 20 years ago when I became a patient of Dr. La's. He and his entire staff have given my husband, my mother, and me consistently excellent care and consideration. It's amazing to find a practice where the entire staff remains the same over decades. After reading Dr. La's mission statement, I'd say "Mission accomplished!" read more

I took my son to this dentist for the first time. When we arrived I was very disappointed to learn his appointment was scheduled while the staff was at lunch. We had to wait over 1/2 hour for the staff to return from lunch and then they had to get organized before he was seen. We spent more time waiting for lunch to be over than he spent on a teeth cleaning. I highly value my time, guess I was the only one that did. read more

Okay doctor, but horrible staff. The doctor left me with poor quality work so I have to pay another dentist to fix. I don't want to go back to have them fix because they already charged me an arm and leg; which made me wonder if my awesome PPO insurance covered anything or does this office just charge whatever they can to drain their patient? Expect to pay a large chunk BEFORE service and AFTER service has rendered EVERY TIME. Not worth dealing with ignorant office manager. read more

Dr. James La has been my dentist since 2001. He's wonderful, and so is his staff. He gives me "heads up" about what I'll be needing in the future so I can budget. No pressure. Prices are reasonable (I've compared with friends for similar services). I also love that he's picky-poo about how fillings/crowns/etc look aesthetically. They get me in at my appointment time. I've never had to wait. Added bonus is KLTY in the background. I highly recommend Arlington Family Dentistry and Dr. La. read more

Had wisdom teeth pulled and they were wonderful! Would definitely recommend!

I broke my front tooth one night. I called their office the next morning and the receptionist, Judy, calmed me down, was attentive and listened to my concerns. We made an appointment right then. The time between the phone call to being in the office was less than 1 hour. I was greeted by a very professional, caring, smart, empathetic dental hygienist named Brandy. She put my worries at ease, and Dr. La saw me within 2 minutes of being in the chair. He introduced himself and was genuine in his concern about getting my tooth fixed. I asked him about putting veneers on my front teeth and he said that my teeth were healthy and that I didn't need veneers. He was very knowledgable and gentle during my procedure and gave me a pain-free, beautiful tooth repair that matches my tooth color perfectly. He is a tooth artist. read more

I hadn't been to a dentist in about 18 years due anxiety stemming from a horrendous wisdom teeth extraction, then financial anxiety and, eventually, simple embarrassment about the condition of my mouth. A raging abscess that came on over the Easter weekend forced me to look for a dentist Monday morning. AFD's website noted that emergency walk-ins were welcomed, so I didn't call, I just drove straight there. Dr. La and his staff are EXCELLENT. No, he's not on my employer's DHMO plan, but his charges seem reasonable. Very professional and personable. No anxiety issues at all. (And to think that he was right down the street from my workplace... I only which I'd found him years ago.) read more
