Tried to upsell you on everything from mouthguards, to teeth grinding, to replacement fillings. Shame that dentistry has evolved to a sales pitch instead of putting the patient's interest first. Totally dishonest feeling from the start, very shady. I would not recommend Dr. Suh to anyone. read more

I went to this dentist since my husband went there... I notice right away the doctor was trying to over charge me... He tried to sell me braces and I told him I wasn't interested... I'm 38 and I love my little gap. He really pushed the issue. I had to tell him several times no no no... Then the price for the other services kept going up... This was worrisome... Then he wanted to change all my silver filling to white ceramic. I was on the fence until we saw that he wanted to do them all in a few months time... My insurance would only cover one every 6 months (I have 5 fillings) Dr. Suh was try to have me pay the difference... That is unethical... Furthermore He told me I needed periodontal maintenance... My teeth are amazingly clean and I floss twice a day... I have always had regular cleanings... After I left their office last month, I've had my teeth examined by two different dentist. Doctor Cohen in San Pedro and Dr. Kristin Wehrle who is doing my implants at USC Dental School (for about 1/3 the price Dr. Suh quoted me!) That's was unbelievable ... Both said, I didn't need the deep cleaning or the periodontal maintenance... I just had my teeth cleaned yesterday (5/22/17) and I waited to write this review until that cleaning so I could prove he's trying to bill for unnecessary procedures. When I was seeing Sarah the office manager to get all the pricing I was told, I HAD to get the periodontal maintenance or Dr. Suh wouldn't be able to see me as a patient... I was floored!!! Then they suggested I get a second insurance to help cover some of their $7300 bill... That was scandalous... I walked out then remember, I want copy of my Xray's and they charged me $25 to send them to me via email.... He charges each patient $40 for dental models of your teeth and he refused to release those to exiting patient's... Watch out he's going to try to sell you a $300 tooth brush! And when he said he's going to treat you like his own family... You heard it here... Run don't walk to anyone else! I don't write many Yelp reviews, but I am glad to write this one... I am also going to file a grievance with Delta Dental and the CA Dental Board. read more

DO NOT TRUST their billing person/system. In April 2019 they charged me $65.00 for something that I did not get "Application of Desensitizing Medicament". I asked for a refund but they gave me credit instead, which I was okay with because I new I had to go back for a follow-up. When I went back today for my follow-up I HAD to tell them about the credit, if I didn't they wouldn't have applied it. But stupid me, I didn't have my credit receipt proof with me and didn't remember the amount, I trusted that their system would have the exact amount that I have a receipt for. WRONG!!! I paid for everything and went home. Now that I am checking my paperwork, the credit was for $65, they only applied $62. I called back and asked what happen to the other $3 and they said, "NO, our records only show $62". I told her that I am holding the proof in my hand and it clearly states $65 credit. She replied "No, it's not $65. The system only shows $62" what the hell!!! I don't care if it's $3 or $100! what is this? they will take advantage of people who don't check their bills. DO NOT TRUST this place. read more

I'm astonished that Dr. Suh or his office staff could possibly receive anything other than a 5 Star rating. I went in to see him about a month ago for a fitting for a Sleep Apnea mouth guard. He and everyone in the office was SUPER. Very fair and painless. I would 100% recommend to all my family and friends to see him. The very first thing I noticed was how friendly everyone in the office was. The outer and inner offices were immaculate. You can see how much they care by how well the offices are maintained. Finally, Dr. Suh takes his time to make sure he not only answers your questions fully but he explains things I didn't know to ask. He's extremely thorough. Whatever your dentistry needs may be he's the man. read more

As a Dental Professional myself, I'm very picky and don't trust most dentists. However, I've finally found The office for me! The staff is very well trained and very knowledgeable. Veronica always greets people with a warm smile. I've had the pleasure off getting my teeth cleaned their dental hygienist An. He's very gentle, caring, light handed of course always cares about the patient's oral health. Dr. Suh is very detail oriented and very high quality dental service provider. Every single patient that walks into this office gets the best quality care! I would recommend all of my family, friends or anyone who asks to Dr. Suh any time! read more

A GREAT TEAM! Dr. DAVID SUH , Inc. & TEAM are extremely competent and graceful in their treatments and reception. My name is Wanda de Fretes and I fully stand by my statement. I have been critical all my life with dentists and never thought I would finally find the RIGHT one...Of course I found them on YELP....Having stated the above, I like to fully extend my GRATITUDE to: Dr. David Suh, An & Julie (Hygienists), Sarah and Veronica (Assistants). gomabseubnida THANK YOU read more

Worst dentist ever! He is a dentist who seems to be more concerned with oral cancer. They have this oral cancer video showing over and over again in their waiting room. One has to question if he is in a dental office or an onconlogist office. On top of that... He is a rip-off. He recommended me an implant on my molar when another dentist had done with it A root canal and he was going to charge me an arm and a leg for it. Keeps sending me bills for service never rendered and when I confront the office secretary, she blames billing error, but this occurs frequently and the amount always inconsistent. Watch out for their billing practices... This should be a deal breaker in my book. My neighbor's kid sees him for the past 5 years or so for her braces. But the way it is dragging on she'd be lucky to have it removed by the time she gets out of high school, and she started when she was in elementary school! There is a reason why there are dentists and orthodontists. Stick with what you know and let the professionals do the ortho, why don't you? read more

Most kind and professional dentist ever seen. Very attentive and caring team working in the front as well. I would highly recommend Dr David Suh to everyone who needs dental care. read more

I've been to many dentists throughout my life and Dr. Suh is my #1 pick for a dentist. He really cares about his patients and is highly trained at what he does. Since going to Dr. Suh I've had implants, crowns, fillings, cleanings, and he's always done a great job. I've referred my husband and other friends and family members to him as well because I really do trust him. He's fairly priced and is very understanding of dental anxiety and does a great job of checking how I'm doing during procedures. His dental assistants, office manager, and staff are all very kind, organized, and knowledgeable. They all work together in a cohesive way that really speaks volumes of the quality care you'll receive as a patient. Take it from me, a scaredy cat with past childhood dental trauma - Dr. Suh and his Team are 5 Star worthy through and through. Thanks Dr. Suh! See you soon for my new teeth! :) read more

Bad dentist! I would never recommend no one here with DAVID SUH. Worst dental office ever! He has over charge written all over. I got referred from my insurance company to him cause I switch from PPO to HMO. I don't need no work done on my teeth. I already been thru it all! I took advantage of my PPO insurance when I had it. Braces, white fillings, remove 4 wisdom teeth. When I say been thru it all... I been through it all. Now I go to dentist every 6month for teeth cleaning! He pressures you into buying his products several times and when you don't agreed to it he gets a little upset! He wanted me to get braces again after I just had them removed and there perfect in my opinion and other dentist also. He recommended cleaning every 4months with antimicrobial irrigation that cost is 61 out of pocket every time you clean your teeth and extra charge for cleaning because insurance only cover every 6months. This is unnecessary cost. Every office visit It's 5 dollers, this is my first time I hear this. Also first time I hear 40 dollers for first time patient for taking pictures of your teeth. He thinks you don't know your stuff and cost. I was a dental assistant before I became a nurse. I will not let no one take advantage of me. He said " oh you think your perfect. You must be god" he kept calling me god. No one is perfect put I do know my stuff and am well informed! One thing I give a good job is the dental assistant there. She is a really hard worker, I feel bad for her because the doctor has her doing different job positions at one time. This doctor try's saving money by doing all the work himself and 1 dental assistant. He should hire more staff that are reliable. In my opinion he shouldn't pressure no one. I am an adult and know how to make my own decisions. He promised me he was going to treat me like family. Well don't trust him, I didn't let him take advantage of me. I feel for all the patients that go through him and takes advantage off. I wish this company the best but I am never coming back there again. Its very disappointing that I never written a review on here. Put I felt like writing one today to inform other clients or future clients about him! His very dishonest and dangers be aware.! read more

David C Suh, DDS - Over price quote! - General Dentistry Near Me - Torrance, California

Dr. Suh has been our family dentist for 3 years now. My son was only 5 years old and my daughter was 8 years old when we started. We had such bad experiences with children's dentist in the past. (One dentist wrapped my son in a papoose and would not allow me to go into the room while he was screaming). Dr. Suh is nothing like that. He is so good, gentle and patient with my children. He talks them through it. He waits it out if they get scared or nervous. He really cares about his patients' teeth and health. His office staff, Veronica and Sara, are also amazing. They spend time getting to know us and are so friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to make, change and cancel appointments. It's like a family atmosphere there and you feel like you are visiting your family. My daughter also goes to Dr. Suh for her orthodontic work and we like that everything is under one roof. I would highly recommend Dr. Suh's office and services for all your dental need. You can't go wrong. read more

I usually only use Yelp for directions and tips but for Dr. Suh, I felt the need to post a review because he deserves high praise. He's been my dentist for about 7 years and he's always been great! I recently had very severe pains on my teeth and needed attention asap. I called his personal number since the office was closed and he came to meet me at his office very quickly and took care of everything for me! I was really grateful that he took time out of his weekend for a single patient. I was very touched which led me to write this review. I've gotten everything from invisalign, crownings, cleanings, etc. I used to have gaps between my teeth that I was very self-conscious about and he recommended invisalign since I didn't want to wear braces while going to college. Ever since, I always receive compliments about my straight, pearly teeth. He really does give great smiles. From the years I've been going to him, I've never had a problem with billing as other reviews may have mentioned. He is a very kind, genuine doctor with a great personality and I know for a fact his patients are his top concern. He's got a lot of regular patients that love him and that says a lot more than what the other reviews say. I highly recommend him as someone who's been his patient for 7 years! read more

Dr Suh has been our family dentist for over 17 years. His practice is superb! He has a great staff that work together so well and fosters a family environment. The best thing that I like is his personal touch. The way he gets to know his patients and openly explains their dental conditions with appropriate fixes. I would highly recommend him to anyone that needs a great and skilled dentist! read more

Dr. Suh is so far ahead of any other dentist I have been to see. He has corrected and made my smile and teeth look so great and he and his staff are extremely polite and always uplifting and ready to assist whenever I require it. His staff of Sarah, Julie,& Voronica are always welcoming and extremely professional. I am extremely please with all the work they have done with very little or no pain. Dr. Suh has the latest equipment to allow him and the staff to do such a great job and keep me and others looking better and keeping out teeth healthy, so we can keep them. Now that is important! Steve Lebowitz read more

Worst Ever! He got my medical insurance to pay for him crowning every tooth in my head and put in six implants after my radiation treatment for cancer. I was unimpressed with his abilities over the course of a year that he took to do all this work. Then a year after he was done I've had two different dentist tell me the majority of the crowns he put on need to be replaced because they didn't seal properly. This will cost me over $10,000. The way David talks it sounds like he thinks he is the best Dentist ever, but based on my experience of his work, and all the dentist I've seen in my 69 years, he is the worst I've ever seen. read more

If you're looking for an experienced dentist with a knowledgeable and responsive staff, look no further.  Dr Suh and his team are first rate! After 30 years of receiving dental care from numerous providers throughout the east coast, I was a bit apprehensive when looking for a dentist in LA.   Luckily, my new primary care physician recommended Dr Suh.  From initial telephone contact with his office manager to fitting my first oral appliance, I couldn't have asked for more.  His team exceeded every expectation with first class customer service.   Highly recommended and definitely a first choice if you're looking for comprehensive dental care from a team that's 100 percent customer focused. read more

I was referred to Dr. Suh by my medical team. Initially for issues with sleep apnea. I found him to be incredibly thorough, answered all of my questions (and I had plenty of them) and was incredibly knowledgeable. I am a medical professional, work as a nursing administrator and have had some challenges in the past with dental procedures. Dr. Suh took the time to study the numerous challenges I had with my teeth and overall structure. I had been suffering from daily headaches for four years. By the time I met him, I had full medical team working towards finding the answers for the chronic headaches. He created a 3D mold of my teeth and jaw structure. He told me he would study it and then would come back with recommendations. On subsequent visits, I was truly in awe that every observation he had from these studies was correct. He was able to give me the full detail of how my severe grinding had contributed to the headaches, I started to show signs of fractured teeth and was beginning to lose a few molars because of the poor dentition. I have been someone that goes to the dentist routinely. If I had a cavity, it would get filled (very task based), I'd get a cleaning and then be asked to return in 6 months. The fillings weren't lasting very long and were needing to get replaced within a year or two. Dr. Suh took it a step further. He gave me the following analogy. He said, "if in your house, you have a leak that is damaging the paint on your wall, how many times are you going to ask a painter to paint over it? At what point in time will you take the time to find out what is causing the leak? When do you call the contractor to come in to look at the house structurally?" And that is exactly what it was. My issues were much greater than just fixing a cavity. By the time I met him, I had had 3 molars extracted because of severe infections. I can honestly say I was overwhelmed by his proposal to me. It took me several weeks to process all of what he recommended to me. It was major restorative work, but I understood that this was what I needed in order to help preserve the health of my teeth going forward. I had a maloclussion, severe grinding, daily headaches and repeated cavities. I went knee deep into my own research and found out that his approach is very innovative and there are few dentists in the state with his skill set. Dr. Suh and his team met with my husband and I on several occasions to answer all of our questions. I have now had multiple procedures and am thrilled to report that I am seeing a reduction in the daily headaches. I am also being complimented daily on my new smile! His staff has become like family. This entire process has been heavy for me because I have had a tremendous fear of dental procedures. They are such empathetic people. They have coached me through my fears and have helped me in ways I cannot even explain. His assistant Veronica is a gem. She is so knowledgeable and a true extension of his talent. Their work together is perfect. Their office manager Sarah has been great at always answering all of my insurance questions, helping to find the appointment times with my hectic schedule and making my husband feel so welcomed. This is by far the longest review I have ever written. But just exactly how do you thank someone who has helped to change your life? From the bottom of my heart, thank you so so much for all of your time and patience Dr. Suh. I will be eternally grateful. read more

Well, this doctor is handsome and cute and caring. And he will give you a lot of notes to take care about your teeth at home too. But for me it was not the best experience. First of, they keep sending me a bill for some service I do not know about. I replied to it and they said they would stop it... now they keep sending me a smaller bill, but still doing so (so, expect billing issues and watch it). Second, and most important to me (hence only 2 stars), is that he was trying to convince me that Invisalign would be perfect for me. I was disagree with this from the first time, and he did not want to listen to me, and he kept insisting that spending $5000 on this would make my smile perfect... Come on! - I went to 5 orthodontists and they all told me I need much more complicated treatment than this (including surgery!). Makes me questioning his qualification... So, he may do a good job on your cavities, but not your smile. And watch his billing! read more

l was recommended to Dr Suh by Torrance Memorial Hospital forpreradiation chep-up.Thanks to his certification and expertise I had a pleasant experience with minimum pain.Everything went well.On top of that,almost everything was covered by my heath insurance,such as molded mouth piece for fluoride and a surgical remove of a canine tooth. I give 5 stars not only to Dr Suh but also to office manager, dental assistance and hygienist. Eduardo B Gardena Ca read more

I have been going to this dentist for the past 3 years and I couldn't ask for a better dentist. Dr. Suh is always very caring and informs me with what is best. He has worked with my braces and it is surprising at how great my smile is looking. Not only are his services great but his assistant is very kind and generous. Veronica knows how to treat the patients with respect and how to keep a good conversation going. Sarah, the front office lady, is another kind woman who welcomes me with a smile and always asks how I've been. Not only is Dr. Suh a great dentist but he has a great staff. I would most definitely recommend this office if one is interested. read more

Dr Suh and all his staff are very friendly, professional, and help you all they can. He treats you like a family member who needs his professional services.

I recommended my relatives to have their dental services done at this office also. read more

I really enjoy going to the dentist since I began seeing Dr. Suh about 4 years ago, he truly cares about my overall health. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Upfront I would like to say that this will not be a positive review of Dr. David Suh, DDS. But my intent is not solely to complain or disparage, but to give any patient researching dentists a clear and honest reason to pause before considering Dr. Suh or his practice for your specific dental needs. My experience is as follows: I initially received dental implant surgery from Dr. David C. Suh via an affordable dental implant office located in Fallbrook, CA. I am very comfortable with doctors/dentists and have an unusually high pain tolerance. But on the day of my appointment Dr. Suh seemed very rushed and proceeded to give me Novocain (or some numbing agent) through what I considered an excessive amount of quickly administered needle injections to the mouth. The surgery techniques were also aggressive and left me w/ bruising in areas not adjacent to the treatment area to include a blood hematoma on my left lower lip, and lip numbness six months later. The lingering lip numbness then prompted the Fallbrook office to insist that I be evaluated by Dr. Suh in his Lomita, CA office. When I arrived at his Lomita office, I was again subjected to some aggressive numbing and then inundated with comments like: "I was just helping out a colleague"; "I don't know why they sent you to me". Dr. Suh seemed aggravated by this fact and continued to speak badly about the other office. I told him that I felt like I was "caught in the middle" of what appeared to be a struggle between the two offices. He replied that they should have done the work out of "professional courtesy", "the same courtesy he showed them when he helped them out". As he finished inserting one healing cap he stood up and said "ok, there was only one missing so bring this one back". I informed him that the other office had provided me two (not by accident) but because they wanted them put in at the same time. This visibly added to the anger of Dr. Suh, and he went on about "professional courtesy". When he finished the assistant took a new x-ray. When he came in to examine it, he started to go on again about how "he didn't know why he had to do the other healing cap". Trying to change the subject, I said I was familiar w/ the little screws inside the implants because I had found one in my mouth one morning and kept it. He immediately swung around and said, "You have the screw". I said "Yes, in my pocket with the packet the other office gave me". Then he sternly said "Well you didn't think that was pertinent to me? You don't think you should have told me out of professional courtesy?". I said "No, I had no idea it was pertinent. The other office was going to throw it away, and they sent me here for numbness evaluation and healing caps so I didn't think you would want to put it back in". He replied, "No! But you should have told me out of professional courtesy!" So I said, "But I am not a dentist! I am just a patient! I have never had implants; I barely know what's happening here. I just happened to keep it because it was cute". He flipped back around towards the x-ray and said something again about professional courtesy and so I started to say, "I don't know what I've done wrong here"... But I didn't even get the second word out before he angrily swung back around said "You know what?! You know what?! GOOD DAY! We are DONE here! ". He then literally stormed off. He then quickly stormed back in and said "Call the other office and schedule to get the sutures out in two weeks, because WE are DONE here!", and then stormed out again. So what is the take away for any patient considering Dr. David Suh as their dental professional? We all have a natural fight or flight response triggered sometimes for reasons unknown - whether by situation or by personality. This response was triggered during our first appointment and confirmed by the second. I regrettably ignored mine and suspect that if I hadn't - I could have avoided whatever physical nerve damage I am experiencing in my lip now from the first encounter, as well as the unprofessional behavior inflicted upon me by Dr. Suh during the second. I am a U.C. Berkeley graduate, I have been in the military 24 years, I have deployed to Iraq & Afghanistan, and therefore I have been in many tense situations. But to this day I am a little dumbfounded with regard to this whole experience and the visible anger exacted upon me by this dentist. I would say that maybe this experience with Dr. Suh was an anomaly, but my instincts tell me this is probably not the case. Therefore, if you are a current patient, or are considering becoming a new patient, I implore you to go with your gut when it comes to this dentist. read more

Going to Dr. Suh is like going to an one stop shop for all dental services. My previous dentist could not perform root canal, so I was always sent to a specialist whenever I needed a root canal. However, Dr. Suh is different. His expertises exceeds any other dentists' by far. His root canal skill was so perfect and thorough. I have also received a implant from him, and I know that there are not many good dentists who can perform implant. I've been always reluctant to go to a dentist because of the painful experiences such as getting pain killer shots and lack of consideration for patients. But I don't have the fear any more with Dr. Suh. The focus of his treatment has been about prevention and proactive dental health. Last but not least, Dr Suh has such a great staff. Veronica, Sara and Julie, they are dynamic trio. I won't be changing my dentist for a long time. read more

I just want to say Dr. Suh is a friendly and a great dentist . He is taking care of all my dental needs specially with my implants. I can say I'm a very nervous and anxious patient when it comes to seeing a dentist. But for some reason I feel comfortable in this office. Maybe because everyone is very friendly, from the front office to the back office. Sarah at the front office always welcomes everyone with a smile. Julie the hygienist is very knowledgeable and friendly. Veronica the Dr. assistant seems to have a lot of experience. Veronica and Dr. Suh sure make a great team. Is fun coming to this office. I definitely recommend Dr. Suh to all my friends and family. So far I've been going to his office for the last 3 years and I will continue for many more years to come. If you're looking for a dentist that really cares about all your dental needs and treats you the best, then you should definitely give him a call! read more

BE AWARE! I am writing for my parents who have been going here as their primary dentist. If I could give these guys a negative star I would. My dad went in for deep cleaning, which they did with a laser and got his tooth cracked. My dad felt so much pain because of the crack and they told him to come in 2-3 weeks later due to their availability. He was in so much pain that I had to make an appointment with my dentist. My dentist takes high definition pictures as well as x-rays. He asked when he got his cleaning done and he told my dentist that it was about two weeks ago. He showed pictures of his teeth as well as x-rays and it didn't look like it was cleaned at all. They didn't even clean his teeth properly and had the nerve to charge him and neglected to correct or help him with his pain by telling him to bare with the pain for 2-3 weeks. This dental office should be warned how they practice is very careless. read more
