We were hosting some friends in the desert for a week this summer. I was chomping away on some M&Ms…read moreour first night and an old filing chipped off in the back of my mouth. I don't have a dentist outside of LA so the next morning I called several in the area and the closest dentist to take my insurance was an hour away. I ended up grabbing an emergency appointment with Dr. Kristina Pham, even though they don't accept my insurance. This freshly chipped tooth clearly needed a crown but Dr Pham hooked me up with a temporary filing that she molded into a new tooth. Very much appreciated her solving this missing tooth issue so I could resume eating M&Ms and having fun with friends for the week until I returned home. Also, she charged a very reasonable amount for this quick fix when I was expecting the worst.

The staff is horrible and cancelled an appointment without notifying us…read more A staff member contacted me the day before my twin daughters' appointments to request updated dental insurance information as my employer's insurance had changed. They requested that I email the updated insurance information which I did. The following morning my daughters showed up for their scheduled appointment and were told their appointment had been cancelled because Blu Oasis didn't have their insurance information. The staff member told my daughters that a voicemail message had been left advising of this. This was a complete lie. No voicemail message had been left and Blu Oasis had received the insurance information via email. I called to ask why they cancelled the appointment and they couldn't bother to answer the phone or return my voicemail message. I scheduled with another dental practice in La Quinta and would suggest you do the same. Blu Oasis is rude, unprofessional, doesn't tell the truth and has no consideration for their patients' time. All they had to do was ask my daughters for their insurance cards when they arrived but they turned them away and lied about notifying about the appointment cancellation. Stay clear of this place!! Simply horrible.

I am updating my review because I have been going to La Quinta Dental Group for…read more6 yrs now with Dr. Cheung being my Dentist and can better give you an informed opinion than those people that give bad reviews based on whatever their feelings or experiences given that one day. I have since had procedures done. I first had doubts because I had great teeth and floss every day! I had 2nd and 3rd opinions on the Bridge work and the problem I had with the temp crown which is common. I didn't know that. They had agreed with the majority of the work.Of course Dentists are going to have some slight differences of approach. I also learned I wasn't flossing correctly. Greg is the Dental Hygienist at La Quinta Dental and he is excellent at what he does. He has been there for the 6yrs I have been going there and only left briefly and returned. He is better than any Hygienist I have had and I have no complaints for the previous ones! He is just detailed, knowledgeable and takes his time and doesn't rush. That makes him stand out from the rest. Now the reason why I felt inclined to do this review! I recently had work done by Dr. Cheung, he has great chair side manners. He tells you prior to raise your right arm if you need a break and during he asks you repeatedly if you're ok? I am already used to this from the Bridge work and trust him 100%. His procedures are always painless and he ensures that you are numb and not experiencing any pain. You feel relaxed and secure knowing you are in great hands. Yesterday I had my root canal by an outside provider because they didn't have an oral surgeon for this procedure and I left appreciating Dr. Cheung even more! In the 2hrs and even prior that doc didn't ask me to raise my hand if I was uncomfortable and only asked once during the 2hrs and towards the end if I was ok! Even after I was nearly choking when he injected liquid in my mouth it landed in my throat and had to sit up in the middle of the root canal! Err Chair side manner is probably something that is lacking in dental schools, but I assure you, although no one is perfect and everyone can have a bad day don't judge Dr. Cheung based on one hit wonders instead of a ongoing patient. Another thing. The office staff like Vivian and Amber are wonderful. Vivian goes over the treatment plan and they give you options and they will work with you with a payment plan. Vivian is great at going over details and has patience. I have called her and bless her heart she is so sweet and patient! Amber in the front is kind and the back staff there is nice! You can tell a lot about an office when you have people that have been working there for years! Give Dr. Cheung a try..

I didn't find that out until I went in for another procedure and was told it would cost twice as much as I had been quoted (in writing). They said that was because my deductible was down to $24! When I said that I could not afford the extra cost for that last procedure, I was told that they were charging me $100.00 for a "missed visit" and the "dentist's time". Dr. Jimmy Cheung is very arrogant and does not pay attention to your concerns. Update: I went to a different dentist after a whole bridge that Cheung put in, fell out during dinner. After closer examination, this new dentist told me that the bridgework that Cheung did was "unacceptable" and that I should ask for my money back. (Good luck with that). Stay away from them.
