    Trina D.

    Honestly, I stuck with this office for a year because I had switched dental plans to an HMO in order to look into braces for my bottom teeth. Adult braces are expensive. However, instead of giving me a consultation on straightening my bottom teeth, they told me that I needed a deep cleaning, which includes the use of their very expensive CO2 laser (not covered by insurance). I hesitantly agreed to this course of action as it had been a few years since my last deep cleaning. BTW, my insurance does cover it and it would have been ~$500 for the deep cleaning but the laser popped it up to a whopping $2000 which I had to open a CareCredit account to pay off over a year because it was an unexpected expense. When they were running my credit, the receptionist was like, "Oh, you make enough. You'll be fine." Uh, okay, thanks. The hygienist (who was pleasant) completed the deep cleaning and laser treatments and set me up to come in every 4 months instead of 6. My insurance doesn't cover that so I had to pay extra because it's for periodontal instead of routine. She gave me a fluoride treatment that is covered but the receptionist charged me the wrong amount. My HMO has it for $X and she didn't check and charged me $Y. I pointed it out after requesting an itemized list of charges and she was like, well we can keep that balance and make sure you get it back on your next visit. I should have just asked her to cut me a check. My next visit came and went. Dr. Cho came in and was like, "Oh, we should have looked into braces for you before your wedding." Uh, well that's why I was here initially but you wanted to address my deep cleaning before all that. She apparently only knows teeth. Beside manner is beyond her. The hygienist (who was different this time) insisted on another fluoride treatment. I refused the fluoride treatment because it seemed excessive to have it more than once a year. That's fine but I also didn't get my balance back from them either. They still owe me but I decided that I didn't want to return to this office again. My insurance is now a PPO dental plan and I plan on taking myself to a different dentist. Suddenly my gums were healthier and it seems like the course of treatment was successful. I won't be back.

    I have perfectly straight teeth- why would I need veneers or braces?

    If you want to be SHAMED by all means continue to go to this office. I'm crying as I leave this review because it's so humiliating. My insurance changed and I was assigned to this office and I should've know just by the first visit it was going to be bad. I was shuffled around and shown the "wall of achievements " by Dr.Cho. Ok I get it you're a dentist you don't need to show it off. After my first appointment And X-rays I was down $2500. Apparently I was in need of a deep clean- which I was ok with BUT I was repeatedly told I needed braces and veneers - look I have good straight teeth. I never in my life was told I needed braces much less veneers. And I quote I was told " you're such a pretty girl - but you need to fix your teeth" Seriously? Ok fast forward to my next cleaning I call before the appointment and ask to please not bombard me with braces and veneers requests. The receptionist was very sweet and understanding and when I arrived the res carpet was rolled out. I was then introduced to a NEW hygienist who has never met me tells me my teeth and gums are stellar after my cleaning and exam. I was quite happy - it was the first time I'd ever felt comfortable in this office. Then comes in Dr. Cho. She comes into examine me and starts to exclaim that my gums have AWFUL recessions and tells the receptionist to come look and she asks the hygienist WHY I wasn't told about this. ( after my clean bill of health from the hygienist??) The receptionist gives the doctor a look and DR.Cho says loudly and smugly " im not TALKING about veneers or braces ..this is DIFFERENT. " I'm literally floored. Since she can't get me with veneers or braces she had to go somewhere else in my mouth to shame me ? How can a person be so insensitive in front of a staff of people and a paying client? Never have I been so humiliated Dr.Cho put me down and shamed me after I specifically said I didn't want to talk about braces or veneers then she rubs it in my face? Never in a professional setting have I ever been treated this way. EVER. This office only cares about money and preying on the insecurities of their clients. I'm still flabbergasted.

    No gum disease, no cancer, front teeth NOT shattering.  Proof that their diagnosis were FALSE and used as scare tactics.

    I started Invisalign treatment at Orange Coast Orthodontics in April of 2023. I planned on waiting…read moreuntil treatment was done before posting my review, but I felt compelled to share something today after my appointment with Dr. Bobby. First, prior to starting my treatment I researched orthodontists who specialize in Invisalign and had Diamond ratings or above from Invisalign. I had consultations with 7 orthodontists in 2 different states over the course of several months before choosing Dr. Bobby. I am an adult with a very complex and difficult case two different dentists told me would be extremely difficult if not impossible to treat. Finding the best, most competent, and most experienced provider was my top priority. I am now 22 months into my treatment. I'll be honest, it hasn't been a fun process, that said, the process has been the absolute best possible scenario due to Dr. Bobby and his amazing staff. My case is more complex than most. Involving attachments, oral surgery, gold chains, elastic ties, and more... I work in a profession where I am speaking with people all day every day and I am occasionally on stage and/or on camera and despite all the complexity of my case, with Invisalign, NOBODY has known or even noticed I have anything going on with my teeth. That is genuinely amazing. That said, anyone who has a more simple case with Invisalign, even mildly complicated cases, Invisalign seems like a breeze compared to braces and is nearly, if not completely unnoticeable. Out of the 7 orthodontists I met with, 5 said they either couldn't or would not treat my case with Invisalign. Only Dr. Bobby and one other said they could do it, but the orthodontist who said he could, had never treated a case like mine with Invisalign, only Dr. Bobby had. Even my general dentist who is a wonderful man and very experienced in treating patients with Invisalign is in awe of what Dr. Bobby has done with my case. He has told me multiple times he could not do what Dr. Bobby is doing and did not even know it was possible. Thank you to Dr. Bobby, Karina, Lu, his whole staff, and especially Kimberly who seemingly works miracles every time I am in the office. She removes and reattaches elastics by tying them to the tiny gold chains in my mouth which are SO small (like threading a needle) and so difficult to reach, I don't understand how any human being can do what she does and she does it so well, I even fell asleep one time while she was doing it! No numbing, no medication, I just fell asleep while she was performing a surgical level miracle inside my mouth. That is beyond amazing. On top of all that, if you have children, this is the most amazingly beautiful office you could possibly imagine. It feels like you are walking into a part of Disneyland. This office is truly something special. You will be in good hands.

    Great patient care by Dr. Bobby who took his time to explain my teenage daughter's Invisalign…read moretreatment. Our Patient Coordinator, Lu was very thorough in her explanation of insurance benefits and how everything will work from start to finish. Such a bonus that this office is immaculately clean and a very fun ambiance for the kiddos.
