I LOVE Dr. Kardovich and his team!! I started going to Dr…read more Goode's office when I was 10 or 11 years old and started on the first phase of my braces. Two years later I received the second phase of my ortho and was pleased with the results. My father, being a dentist, was always on me about keeping up with my retainers. I, however, being a stubborn teenager at the time did not follow through and am now serving a 6 month sentence of orthodontics again! Dr. Kardovich has been amazing!! I am 30 years old now and was hesitant to restart the ortho experience, but he put my mind at ease right away! Because of my past non complaince with retainers and Invisalign we opted for the traditional brackets and wires, but it is completely worth it!!! My smile has already changed dramatically and the teeth that had shifted over the years are now back in place!! I have just two months to go and I am thrilled with the results already!! Dr. Kardovich is so nice and treats every patient like a friend! I have seen him with the kids that come in and he is equally as kind to them. I cant speak highly enough of this office!! I hope I never have to get orthodontics again but I will always come back and visit them!

It's very clear that he cares deeply about his patients and wouldn't recommend anything just for the sake of a financial gain. It was just a consultation and I won't be needing further care but if anything came up, I'd call him up. I really wish he was my orthodontist way back when. Highly recommend!

It has been nothing but a nightmare. Going back to get an adjustment I found later was billed as an emergency visit when I was told there would be no charge. Then I had to go back again because food is getting caught in it and was told not only do I need their mistake taken out but need tooth 3 filled and will be charged more money . I was so upset I just walked out. I called again cause the crown on tooth 4 is now all jagged with Ruff edges and they can't even tell me if I will get charged if I go in. They gave me no choice but to file appeals and a grievance with my insurance company. Their billing is a mess to boot. I am very upset and in pain will probably have to go to the school of Dentistry and have a student pull out or fix their mistake . Such a crying shame . Esther Quesada.

DO NOT book a dentist appointment with this company. I wish I didn't do it!…read more They have some answering service who takes their calls. The person spoke weak English so it took many repeats to get my details across. She booked me for a 12pm appointment on a Saturday, and when I asked the dentist's name... she did not know. The day before my appointment, I received a confirmation call. Apparently the dentist is out to lunch from 12-1pm, so they pushed me back by an hour. No problem. But a bit confusing as to why the answering service didn't know this. Then the office called me three more times to confirm my insurance. I even called back at the end of day to make sure I was all set. I mean. You guys handle appointments and dental insurance all day long. Shouldn't be that hard. I filled out the new patient forms online. Again, seemed standard. Well, I'm still sitting in the waiting room well past my appointment time. They had me refill out the forms because the internet ate them. And they're not able to verify my insurance. Because it is Saturday and the insurance office is closed. I told them I was approved yesterday via a fax. They can find nothing. What's so different about Friday and Saturday staff? Don't they have a process?? I kept getting told that I messed up by "calling corporate" -- which I verified with them, I did not. I called and received calls from their exact office. Someone else just walked into the waiting room with an appointment. They told him he also messed up by booking the appointment through corporate. If corporate answers your phone, then we're all booking through corporate. Right? So I'm sitting in the waiting room. With a TV blaring Sponge Bob Square Pants. I asked them to turn it off as I'm literally the only person in the room. The rest were kicked out for "corporate" issues. The woman did try to turn it off, but said she could not. I tried the remote too. I couldn't even turn down the volume. So if you want a lot of hassle and an office with such poor communication they can't even turn off the waiting room TV, then you've found the right office. -- UPDATE: I left the office without being seen. An exam is what? $60? I'm on a short timeline. Would've paid. And if the dentist who was supposed to see me had any sense, she would've seen me and taken the gamble that everything is as I said and she'd get that $60 settled on Monday. She was siting right there through all of this. I even explained that I'm anal with my teeth. I get them cleaned every 4 months. It's been four months. So I'm very easy. Instead, I will NEVER use this dentist. I will take my family of 5 elsewhere.

That was my first mistake. It was pleasant. When I walked in took care of me. Didn't wait long process was good no complaints. X-rays done and this is where, I thought he's a nice kid good conversation no problem. (Darwin) I thought he worked in the front Desk came in and proceeded on explaining to me about this project they have would benefit me because of my age and taking care of my teeth bla bla. I asked how much and he tells me. $1,400.00 and some change. I say that's to pricey for me and proceed's to tell me about Care Credit. Would you like to apply. I agreed. I treasure my credit score. Bam I qualify. I said what the hell. I need this and we began the paper work. Now mind you we spoke of nothing else. The person that took my X-rays proceed to tell me what need to be done. There are 2 Teeth that need to come out. (Extraction) Not to concerned they weren't hurting me, they were back teeth (Molars). Made my appt. To have that done. By the way all the goodies I received for paying ($1,400.00) and change. The day of the extraction walked in not knowing what to expect and nervous walked up signed in did all the formalities. Darwin sitting right next to the young lady getting my info. I believe he was on the phone. The young lady gives me some paperwork to fill out. And than proceeds to tell me that the extraction is not included in the procedure, I said excuse me. Never once was I told. For today's work it will be $1,100.00. WHAT TO SAY THE LEAST I WAS MAD. I had just put the ($1,400.00) .i know this is long but, i am still angry. I did a claim on it and I got some money back. And then come to find out. That stuff he sold me on was for people that have swollen gums. I do not have that. My teeth have always been pretty good. It's the fact that this young man (boy) took my kindness as a weakness. Nope. Can't say it enough walk away from this place.

Dr. Park saved me from a root canal! I went to him for a second opinion after my first dentist…read moresaid I needed one. Dr. Park was very honest and forthright about my tooth, saying he could try saving it but if there was pain after the filling, I may need one. Wanting to avoid a root canal at all cost, I told him, let's do it! He was very gentle, skilled, and made sure I was comfortable. The tooth came out beautiful! It has been over a month since the filling and absolutely no pain or issues. I'm a little embarrassed about how gross my tooth looked before but had to share pictures on how gorgeous the filling came out. Thank you so much Dr. Park. I promise I'll floss more often

I've been coming to A+ Dental in San Pedro with Dr. Philip Park for years, and my family has been…read morecoming here using my dad's Longshoremen insurance. Because we've been patients here for years, this recent experience with the front desk was extremely disappointing. My original appointment was scheduled for Wednesday, August 12 at 10:00 AM. On Thursday, August 6, the office called me and asked if I wanted to move my appointment to Friday, August 7 at 10:00 AM. I agreed, but later that evening my kids reminded me that they had something going on at school that Friday morning. I called the office as soon as they opened to let them know I couldn't make the newly moved appointment and asked to keep my original appointment date. I was then told I would have to pay a $50 same-day cancellation fee. I was confused because my original appointment was not that Friday--the office had contacted me and asked me to move it up to Friday. I understood that I had agreed to the change, but I didn't feel it was fair to be charged a same-day cancellation fee when the appointment had originally been scheduled for the following Wednesday. Despite this, I called again on August 19 to schedule my cleaning. I was given an appointment for Monday, August 31 at 12:00 PM. I was again told about the $50 fee and was told I could speak with Dr. Park about it when I came in. I agreed. I drove approximately 45 minutes from Anaheim to San Pedro for this appointment, only to arrive and be told there was no appointment for me on the schedule. After checking my information, the front desk staff member told me that I had never actually been scheduled because I didn't want to pay the $50 cancellation fee. This was extremely frustrating because my understanding from our conversation was that I WAS being scheduled for that date and time and could discuss the fee with Dr. Park when I came in. What makes this even more disappointing is that I made a 90-minute round trip, spent money on gas, and rearranged my day based on what I was told by the office. If I was not actually going to be scheduled, that should have been clearly communicated to me when I called. I understand that dental offices have cancellation policies, but there also needs to be clear communication and good customer service. Patients should not have to drive nearly an hour each way only to arrive and find out they were never actually scheduled. After being a patient here for years and coming here through my dad's Longshoremen insurance, I expected much better communication and customer service. I hope management addresses this because this experience was extremely frustrating and could have easily been avoided with proper communication.
