Quality care, financing options available. Open on Sunday is plus for me cause I work 12 shift M-F

Dr Joe Is the worst dentist I have ever been to. He removed my fillings without my permission and later developed horrific complications. What is more interesting is a strange experience I have never encountered in the past: Dr Joe held a negative personal bias against me because I share the same name with somebody he had a problem with in his personal past. I work in the intelligence community and have very little contact with the outside world. I know everyone I have had contact with in the past 20 years. I am absolutely certain I have never had contact with him. He continued to maintain that negative attitude toward me. He treated me like some like of criminal even though I paid for everything in full and in advance. Any time I tried to start a friendly conversation or ask a serious question he would clam up and say little. But with other patients he would go on and on and just would not shut up. I had other dental procedures that I had paid for in full, and they were never completed because he would constantly delay with no explanation. What is more: he has his friends and family write reviews for him on Google. He also pays for fake reviews on Google. If you study the reviews for his google page, you will find that a lot of the reviewers have the same divorce lawyer in Knoxville, Tennessee and the same tax attorney in Chicago. This is the kind of childish behavior you should expect from joe. Dr. Joe lacks the experience and maturity to be trusted with important medical procedures. read more

Such a great experience at Dr. Joe Dentistry! The front desk staff is incredibly kind and welcoming from the moment you walk in. Everything is explained clearly, step by step, so you always know what to expect. Dr. Joe is professional, knowledgeable, and very gentle. He's also efficient and respectful of your time, which I really appreciate. He makes sure you're as comfortable as possible throughout the entire visit. The whole team is warm and personable, creating such a positive atmosphere. I've never enjoyed going to the dentist, but this office makes it so much easier and even enjoyable! I will be coming back (: read more

Had 2 dental procedures done by this dentist . A crown and a root canal . Both were not done proprely, had to go back to correct. my tooth is still in pain. No accidents he has a crappy yelp rating. save yourself the hassle. Pay A little more and go to somebody qualified. I wish I had seen his other yelp reviews before I went to him. Clearly, he has done the same thing to other people. read more

This dentist is excellent at getting you on track in terms of cleanings. He's currently reopening his office due to it being destroyed by fire but when he does open I will definitely be back. The front office is always so helpful at scheduling and getting back to you in a timely manner. read more

Came in on a Sunday (lifesaver!) and the whole team was so kind and attentive. Dr. Joe walked me through each step, made sure I was comfortable. The office is super clean, modern, and well-organized. Front desk and assistants were awesome, too. If you're looking for a dentist who truly cares, this is the place. 5/5. read more

He did a root canal on me that never felt right. I went back to him 4 or 5 times and nothing was solved. I've lately been experiencing infection. I went to an Endodontist who did a 3D image. He found that Dr Joe did not get all of the root cast curved off. Dr Joe went straight down and did not curve which caused an infection which created major bone loss. The only thing that can be done now is to pull the tooth. In addition, my wife had upper dentures made by Dr Joe. The actually were missing 1 tooth which again after several trips back and forth, this was never corrected. We now have to pay out of pocket for new dentures. I would not recommend this Dentist at all. I would really like my money back for my wife's dentures. read more

I had a horrible experience with this dental office. It started off okay for the first cleaning or two, but when I purchased whitening trays, the girl who did my moulds was so rude and really not careful and she cut the corner on my mouth, right at the crease. The cut then got infected after a few months (crease cuts don't heal the same as other lip cuts) and I had a fungal infection as a result. I know it came from her. I really hope she uses different gloves for their other patients' sake. The trays were not the right size for my mouth and the whitening gel burned my gums on more than one occasion. I can't believe I paid for the trays and to be treated this way. I will not be returning for my regular cleanings. What a terrible experience. read more

Had a root canal done and crown put in 6 years ago and it broke 4 years after. Now dentist are telling me I need a bridge or implant.

Dr Joe and his staff were exemplary. It was my first visit with him under my new insurance and new employer. His office is very highly recommended read more

November 2022. Bottom line: after 10 months, lots of pain & suffering, thousands of dollars--his implant FAILED. Twice. Avoid Dr. Joe. He can't do implants. Spend a little more, and get it done right with a real dental surgeon, not a tooth cleaning hygienist like Dr. Joe Lee. read more

This was my first time going to Dr Joe. And I have to say that he has very poor focus. All the time he was supposed to be looking inside my mouth, I caught him looking down my shirt numerous times. I found the dental work at this office to be very poor. Dr Joe removed fillings that I never asked him to remove. He also drilled holes in my teeth that were not there before. I now have huge triangle gaps in between my teeth. My teeth were perfect! Now they are ugly af. I have had several people notice and ask me how my teeth were ruined. They noticed the gaps in my teeth! This is by far the absolutely worst experience I ever had at the dentist. If you dont want your teeth ruined, dont go to Joe. read more

After seven years I am so disappointed in the standard of care provided here. My wife and I have come here for many years. At first this office was all about hygiene and maintenance. In recent years it has switched to procedures and major treatments. I write this at 4 am, as my wife stands crying in our living room because of care she received at Dr. Joe's Dentistry. We have called Joe all week and not received any call back from him because the office's terrible answering service and insufficient emergency contact information. She delivered a baby 6 weeks ago and says she experienced nowhere near this level of pain (possibly an exposed nerve). She has left many messages and I have also called to get her some help. Last Sunday, my wife received two temporary crowns and she mentioned that day that he used a lot of anesthetic. At first we thought nothing of it, although she felt like it was way too much and he was in a hurry. On Monday and Tuesday she noticed some discomfort which was persistent and worsening. By Wednesday she was in so much pain that she had to call the office. Then we lesrned Dr. Joe was out for the week. As we discussed what might be wrong she described the procedure to me, she mentioned that they never checked her bite with the new temporary crowns. Because of this mistep we had to see another dentist on Thursday and he had to shave crown down significantly to repair the rushed work. He was visibly concerned with the care that she had received and this made us even more concerned. In addition to all this, my wife has since mentioned to me that the Dr. said she needs crowns, but he did not bother to explain why or explain the issues which could have resulted from treatment. This lack of communication is incredibly irksome and unfair. We have a small baby at home and this whole debacle is draining. Today it is Saturday and Joe's assistant talked to her yesterday while he was checking office messages. Apparently he did not contact the Dr., instead the assistant just suggested she should "wait till the new crown comes in". Meanwhile, my wife is now crying on the couch. I suspect she may have needed a root canal and Dr. Lee or Joe has failed to refer her maybe he did not notice how deep he drilled, I can't say. I really admired and respected this man but watching my spouse writhe in agony is completely ridiculous. I hope he contacts us soon and we will be trying to get a second opinion in the morning. read more

My experience with Dr Joe was not good. I am not a mean person and I don't like to say mean things about people so I feel bad about writing this review. I went to Dr Joe because my friends recommended him to me. So when my crown had loosened and I didn't want to go to downtown L.A. to my regular dentist, so I decided to try Dr Joe because he is local. Like I said before, I am not a mean person but I have to tell the truth because other people might suffer. I don't think Dr Joe knows what he is doing. First thing I noticed about Joe is that he doesn't talk a lot. I ask questions and he doesn't have a lot of say. When I asked him about his special in-house crowns he seemed to get annoyed. Despite the extremely high cost of his crowns, I decided to go ahead with the procedure. Everything seemed fine for the first month. And then the crown came off. The special in-house crown that they had installed and I had paid for was just a broken piece of glass. When I called to explain the situation, they told me "sure come on in we'll fix it." But they could not re-schedule. They were always too busy. Finally they called me back to tell me they had an opening - only problem was that it was that I had to wait: four months! I obviously won't be going back. When i told my friends about Dr Joe, they understood why I was disappointed. When I pressured them a little on why they recommended him they said that they got free Amazon gift cards if they promised to recommend his office to their friends. read more

I went to Dr Joe because I wanted to support my own people. Little did I know that I reminded him of someone from his past and he treated me very poorly. His dental work is very bad. He removed my fillings without my permission and they were done improperly and developed cavities. I had the fillings for over 15 years and no problems. Joe messed with my teeth and now I have more dental problems than before I went into his office. read more

Dr Joe Dentistry - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Torrance, California

This place is more about marketing than caring for patients. They didn't honor the free cleaning offer even though my child had insurance and needed more dental work. That would have definitely made them money. I had asked specifically about the free cleaning prior to, but confirming. The appointment but was assured it would be covered. The Steve, the office manager, explained a few days after that free cleaning for insured patients really doesn't mean that because they don't really know how to process my child's insurance. It was through a large California insurer.They did request a second cleaning for my child before the dentist could even see her. When Dr. Joe finally cam e to the examination room, they needed to schedule the exam for another day. Ultimately, I found a an up front dentist who was more than capable, because my daughter, an early teen, didn't think Dr. Joe answered her questions. He kind of talked down to her like don't worry. I believe he wasn't necessarily trying to be condescending, but just not used to answering inquisitive kids questions about their health. I did end up paying for her free cleaning, no way Steve of Dr. Joe were going to lose a nickel even when Steve admitted he hadn't understood her insurance, even though they again had said it would work for their offer. I would have been happy to split the cost or some other arrangement, but again money this only game here. read more

Dr Joe!! I see you responded to my review (8/22/2019 ) of your deficient care/capabilities. You know dam well I was a patient of yours...I even made you refund my deductible..by check. You are saying the truth when you say I am not a patient of yours now. Today I am not, nor will I ever be a patient of yours again. But unfortunately I was at one time. People, this dude is trying to say that the review I wrote earlier (8/22/2019 ) is a from a hired person of some kind. Go find it. I was not hired by anyone, in fact I wish that everything had gone well and I didn't need to warn anyone about this deficient dentist. Joe...STICK TO FILLINGS AND CLEANINGS!! You have no idea what you are doing when it comes to root canals. Luckily I was not injured worse. If anything, I believe the 5 star reviews here are hired reviewers by you Dr Joe. Once again people...be aware of this dudes modus operandi....he tries to do root canals for any plausible reason...this is his goose that lays the golden eggs. My advice....RUN. Dr Joe..by you telling people on here that you think I am a paid reviewer and not a patient of yours tells me exactly what kind of person you are...dishonest scammer...and glad you will never have access to my teeth ever again. You took almost $400 on 12/9/2016... explain that. Own your mistakes! read more

Dr Joe's inexperience is shocking. I can't believe this guy is still in business. I went to Dr Joe to get a check up and he accidentally cut my gums with one of his rusty dental tools. I began to bleed profusely and I was in extreme pain. All Dr Joe could do was say something and then hurry out of the room. One of the other assistants helped me recover. I hate Dr Joe. He is very dangerous and needs to have his office shut down. read more

My husband and I saw this facility back in 2018. We went on different days. My work was minor and my husband had a few things done plus a tooth extraction. I received a summary of benefits and they reversed the billing. I called the front desk and explained to them that the summary reflects that I had the tooth extraction, etc. The receptionist/billing at the time thought nothing of it but said she'd take care of it. I followed up, she said she'd take care of it. FAST FORWARD to 2022 - I went to another facility and needed a filling...but they said it can't be done because I have no tooth, it was extracted! I had to call insurance and they had to conference call Dr Joe's office. Luckily they were still in business to take the call! read more

Just like the other reviewer - joe removed my fillings without telling me what he was going to do. Is this a thing that dentists are doing nowadays? The new fillings he used to replace the ones I originally had for over 20 years are weak and will chip away over time. Also dr joe has his personal friends (like Daniel Won) post fake reviews on googel and on here. Don't trust Joe. He is super scammy. Read the negative reviews. Don't be fooled by this guy. read more

This loser has no business running a dentist office. He made a litany of dental work that he wanted to do and then demanded $27,000. I needed the dental work so I agreed to only half of them. And then he proceeded to ruin my teeth. He has no idea what he is doing. He is completely inexperienced. I am constantly having problems with my teeth because of this idiot. He pays people gift cards to post positive reviews. He also gets his personal friends to post positive reviews for him. Be careful with this guy. I NEVER should have gone to him. He has not only ruined my teeth, he ruined my life! read more

I will make this short and not waste anybody's time: Dr Joe is by far the WORST dentist I have ever been to. He is scammy and manipulative. He doesn't tell you why you need the dental work he is recommending. He will just tell you some basic information. But he wont tell you why you need sealants. He wont tell you why you need a deep cleaning. They are dental procedures that ALL dentists know are "opinions" and cannot be proven to be absolutely necessary. All Dr Joe is interested in is your insurance money. He wants to charge the F out of you by calling every dental procedure as "urgent." Money, money, money is the name of Dr Joe's game. You may think that "well, if I don't use my insurance, i end up losing it." But if you go to Dr Joe, he will not only take your money, he will ruin your teeth. I had near perfect teeth, totally healthy, and Dr Joe decided to take things into his own hands and do additional dental work and he ended up ruining my teeth. Now I have constant pain in my teeth. Stay away or you and your wallet will suffer. read more

So I waited until I had visited this office a few times to write this review just because I wanted to make sure I didn't feel like the rest of the negative reviews written about this office.. And I must say I have not one negative thing to say! From Dr. Joe to the dental assistants down to the front desk staff! They are all so super friendly and welcoming.. Everyone is so damn concerned with Dr. Joes name and his real name being Young Lee! So what if that's his real name? Your obviously that worried about it, your taking away from the amazing quality work that him and his staff do.. Since I have been coming here, Dr Joe and his office staff have been nothing but HONEST, kind, welcoming and have worked with me in every way possible! So Dr Joe and wonderful staff, I give you 5+++ stars!! Thank you for being awesome and keep doing what you do! PS... I didn't write this review for any free Disney or AMC card! read more

Dr Joe Dentistry - Waiting to get my teeth worked on!! As weird as it sounds I love the dentist!! - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Torrance, California

I came here based on a recommendation of a friend. And I have to say that Dr Joe is by far the worst dentist I have ever been to. He ruined my teeth by unilaterally making sweeping decisions without telling me and then causing additional harm to my teeth. When I confronted him about it he acted as if he didn't know what I was talking about. And then the office manager "Steve" came and blocked me from talking to Dr Joe. Needless to say I am not friends with the person who recommended Dr Joe to me. read more

The last time i went to get my dental checkup, Dr Joe was loudly chatting with another patient. They were laughing it up and talking so loud I could hear everything. Later, when he came to see me, he was quiet. He didn't even say hello. I asked him a simple question, he did not respond. I tried chatting with him but he would clam up. A word of warning: When Dr Joe is quiet this means he has something to hide. He has negative intentions against you. Later i discovered that his office charged me for a bunch of dental services that were either unnecessary or that they did not complete. Dr Joe is one of those people who is not used to doing scammy stuff, so when he does it he has a hard time of hiding it. Dont trust Dr Joe. Dont trust anyone who has something to hide. read more

I cracked my tooth. I went to Dr Joe's office and he told me that they could fix it and woo, woo, woo. They talked up how great their crowns was and they told me that they was made in-house. So I decided to go for it. It cost me a huge chunk of change. But I needed it because I like to chew my food. The crown didn't fit perfectly. My bite was off and it just wasn't right. It felt like I was chewing with a flat tooth. Then by about the second month the crown broke. I pulled it out of my mouth and I discovered that all it was was a cheap brittle piece of porcelain. I snapped it into pieces with my fingers with the minimum amount of pressure. All that for all the hundred of dollars. Dr Joe just wants your money. He dont care about you. read more

Don't trust anything Dr Joe tells you. He will make your bill as expensive as possible by charging you for services you don't need. If you see something you don't need or want like "deep cleanings" (which every dentist knows is a scam) just tell Steve you can't afford it. The people who work are crooks. They only care about money and pretend they care about you. They make you feel welcome but after a little while they show you how they really are. read more

Terrible place. Greedy doctor. Not a professional place. They took 20 x-rays just because the insurance covers it not because I needed it because there was nothing wrong with my teeth. They would x-ray my hair if they could make money out of it. The only reason I went there was because of the fact that they are open later and I can go there after work, but in the future I will just take the time and go to a more professional place. Terrible! read more

When I went to see dr joe, immediately he brought up the issue of cost. I could tell he was interested in money. I decided to go ahead on a couple procedures and paid quickly even though I wasn't required to. Then I later discovered Dr Joe's office did a background check on me. Wow - really? A background check? Even after I paid for everything out of pocket - in full, no less. By the way the dental work done by Dr Joe was so bad I had to go to another dentist to correct all the mistakes he made. read more

I always give people the benefit of the doubt. Dr joe is a nice guy. Even though don't think he even sincerely remembered me after one visit. It's nice he is open on Sundays. He gave my wife a crown that want justifiable. I kept going because of the convenience. He tried telling me I had two cavities. I went to another dentist and there were no cavities. And no I don't sealant on my teeth nor did I in middle school. Recommend staying away read more

The staff here is pretty good. So I am saddened to say that Dr Joe is a horrible dentist. His skills are sub-par and he doesn't know what he is doing. He is still a rookie. He needs more years in training. Also, you need to be aware that he distributes gift card and other prizes in exchange for positive reviews. If you have recieved a gift card you need to write honest reviews because in the long run, you are not helping anyone and Dr Joe will end up hurting other people. read more

Don't trust the positive reviews, especially the ones on Google. A lot of them are fake. Joe also gives out $50 amazon gift cards in exchange for positive reviews. No medical professional should be paying for fake reviews. As far as my own personal experience with this guy - all bad. He doesn't tell you anything about what is wrong with your teeth. He simply makes his diagnosis and then leaves the room and then has his office manager hand you a huge bill for you to pay in full. This dentist is a joke to his profession. (p.s. ask him if what his grades were like in dental school - lol) read more

I am not even trying to be funny but Dr Joe's breath stank. If you are a medical professional especially a dentist you can't talk to your patients with your breath stankin like poonannie. The staff was nice and professional. But Dr Joe's poor hygiene was so poor that I could not stay and I had to leave. Bleh. read more

Best Dentist ever! Dr. Joe is wonderful. I had two chipped teeth and he made my teeth look amazing... a true artist. Staff is beyond helpful and nice. I highly recommend. They even work with you on payments and never pushy to try and sell you on services you don't really need. Thank you so much! read more

I went in to see Dr Joe to get a crown. A couple months later the entire thing cracked off. Their crowns are terrible. When I called to complain they gave me the runaround and would not accept responsibility for their bad service and products. They told me how their crowns are made "in-house" and how great they were. Dr Joe and his staff are highly persuasive and will do anything to get you to pay big money for their low quality dental care. Goodbye $1500. read more

Dr. Joe and his team are incredible. Incredible service from the front desk to the dental chair. I had a 5:30 pm appointment and the entire staff was attentive and VERY thorough. Dr. Joe clearly knows his business and understands how to hire and build an outstanding team. read more

We took my toddler here for a dental emergency on a Sunday, she fell in the bathroom and knocked her front tooth pretty hard, the gum around the tooth was bleeding and of course lots of crying. Dr. Joe was very gentle and it was her first dental visit. Luckily she was fine and didn't hit it that hard, she displaced it but not badly enough for it to be loose. The staff was very friendly and concerned when I called. They saw her with an hour left in their work day, very nice! read more

Dr Joes Dentristy is awesome. Even if you don't carry dental ins they offer it right in the office. I've been coming for many years and this is the best dental practice in town!!! read more

Dr Joe's cosmetic work is horrendous. He has no eye for detail. It's all done quickly and without care. If you are the kind of person who doesn't care about their teeth and just want to get them serviced in anyway possible, then Dr Joe is fine. But for people who care about their teeth and notice minor problems, Dr Joe is the absolute worst place to go. If you bring up a problem, he'll give you attitude and ignore whatever you say. He doesn't care what you have to say because he thinks he is the foremost expert in dentistry. Don't bother with this guy. I am giving 2 stars instead of 1 because I got a free gift card for this review. read more

I went to Dr Joe based on a friend's recommendation. They always call me at least 3 times before my appointment asking to move it to another day, and they charge you $75 if you have to cancel your appointment within 48 hours. Last time I went I was informed when I showed up for my appointment that it would be at LEAST a 25 minute wait. Would have been nice to get a phone call in advance for that. I would like $75 from them for cancelling on me. As far as dental services are concerned. They are nothing special. They do standard quality work. They drilled holes in between my teeth where there were spaces and now I have plaque all over my teeth. I should never have gone to Dr Joe. Very regretful. read more
