I asked for a refund and they were not inclined as "this happens". We went to a new dentist that fixed it and noted that it would have to be redone. After multiple attempts we have not been able to get the money refunded or the claim removed off our insurance to have the work redone by our new dentist. Root canals are intended to last at least 7 years for insurance to cover them again and now we are stuck paying out of pocket because Bhatia will not release the claim. The tooth now has to be extracted. After 3 visits to Bhatia is just didn't make sense to continue to go back to "fix it" and now my husband has to loose this tooth.

Needless to say, I didn't feel comfortable visiting a dentist as I have not found a dentist I trust. From the moment I entered the office, Brianna made me feel comfortable and I never felt judged by anyone for my lapse in care. Dr. Bhatia has been great with answering all of my questions to my understanding and I feel confident that she will provide me with all of my options so that I can make the best decision for my dental care. I know that some people feel pressured to do things they don't necessarily want when they visit the dentist. But, I have yet to feel that way. I would recommend Dr. Bhatia to anyone who is looking for a dentist they can trust.

    It's always a little daunting to pay a visit to the dentist, especially after a hiatus, but this…read morewas a pleasant experience. The entire visit was smooth. It took about 2 hours from start to finish but this included checking in, a full set of X-rays/CT scan, exam, going through finances and setting up appointments, so it makes sense. Pre-visit: Front staff had me fill out all my info online before the visit, so checking in was a breeze. Exam: Dr. Nguyen was as professional and knowledgeable as they come but also very personable. His explanations were thorough, clear and concise. He constantly made sure I understood everything and that we were on the same page. I noticed he didn't wear a white coat like the other providers around which actually made the exam feel more casual and easy. (Cool tattoos btw!) Staff/finance: the front desk staff and assistants were very friendly and accommodating; making sure I was comfortable and even offered water without me asking. The financial lady (Carolina/Caroline?) was very sweet and patient. She made sure I understood everything regarding my insurance and costs. **Cons: the office is in a large plaza so parking in front can be a bit difficult. It was a little busy and apparently one of the xray rooms was broken so there can be a bit of a wait since even my full set of xrays took some time to complete which is understandable. Overall a very positive experience!

After my first visit with him, I'm so pleased that that Dr Hong was very thorough, kind and ethical. I had been to several other dentists previously who tried to upsell dental procedures that were over $1,000 that weren't necessary- Dr Hong didn't do that. There were several areas he found that were possible concerns but didn't push procedures but just gave information that allows me to decide if I proceed. I appreciate his honesty and integrity. Dr Hong's office staff was also very kind and helpful- I'm happy to say that my search for the right dentist is over.

They are super sneaky and don't tell you anything up front, you start to believe that they actually care but then get billed for things you never agreed to and realize you've been tricked. I was super respectful and after the first time they did that. I told them any additional costs need to be agreed upon prior to doing anything. Literally one of the next appointments I get a bill that's over $1000. Every time you go there they will pressure you to spend thousands of dollars on whatever they think they can convince you to do. When you don't do it, you still get a super high bill with things you never agreed upon. Save yourself the headache, go anywhere else but here. Will be filing a complaint with the dental board of California.

    I had an unfortunate experience at this clinic in January 2025. I expressed interest in composite…read morebonding for my front 4 teeth as a more affordable option to veneers. My husband and I were planning to move out of the country and I wanted to use my HSA balance to invest in improving my smile (I mention this to preface that I had a budget, which I told Kimberly about from the beginning). I had a consultation with Dr. Ringer, during which he recommended veneers, teeth whitening, and advised me of the risks of composite bonding (including chipping). I agreed to composite bonding, 2 cavity repairs, and teeth whitening, and booked the follow up appointments for all 3 items. A few days later (still days before the first appointment), I changed my mind and decided I couldn't afford the composite bonding and only wanted the teeth whitening and the cavity repairs instead. Kimberly told me she understood and would let Dr. Ringer know. I had a separate appointment for the teeth whitening, then returned for my final appointment to repair 2 cavities I had on a front tooth (which happened to be one of the ones I was originally interested in getting composite bonding for). At my appointment Dr. Ringer proceeded to prepare my teeth for the composite bonding. At that point, it was too late to refuse once he started doing interproximal reduction. I thought he was prepping my tooth for the cavity fillings. He almost forgot afterwards to even do the cavity repairs I wanted and had no idea I was declining the composite bonding. I was very upset and reminded Kimberly that I declined the composite bonding and she acted as though she didn't know what I was talking about. I have written evidence of the situation. She took several hundred dollars off the price due to her mistake, and then left for Vegas the next day. Not to mention, I was extremely unhappy with how my teeth looked after the composite bonding process, and the "chipping" has been an extreme inconvenience. My husband and I have since moved to Australia and 3 out of 4 of the teeth Dr. Ringer bonded have broken (not just a chip), but completely in half!! The entire pieces of bonding he added have broken off. It started with small chipping and then led to the entire pieces of bonding coming off. I have had a dentist here in Australia repair his work and was told that what he had done was very thin bonding that would never have lasted long at all. They recommended that I should have all 4 teeth redone. Since having my teeth redone in Australia, I haven't had any more chipping and the aesthetic quality is significantly different. Please see for yourself. Picture Top: my teeth before Picture Middle: Dr. Ringer's work Picture Bottom: repairs done in Australia Additional Picture: Dr. Ringer's work in different lighting I feel cheated. I think he did a great job with the shape of my teeth, but none of that matters when they all have chipped and broken off. I've spent more than he originally quoted me in repairs and damages. Just know the full extent of what you're getting yourself into if you consider composite bonding. According to the dentists who have repaired my teeth here, there are ways to form the bonding so it's not as thin and fragile as it was created for me originally...
