    This place really is one of a kind dental office! Doctors here are so professional and kind, I think this is a one stop dental office for everyone as their specialist and general dentist are SUPER awesome! Me and my sister both had good teeth but we needed invisalign and a good general dentist that do our twice a year teeth cleaning right (difference between a thorough job vs. lousy job is that I still bleed during teeth brushing for years with twice a year teeth cleaning with other dentist. It finally stopped after I came here seeing Dr. May Chan and Dr. Lok, it's REALLY REALLY CLEAN! My sister also thinks their polish is higher quality as her teeth remain shiny and bright longer than any other dental office she been to). Dr. Chan also being so patient to answer all of our questions about invisalign and explore all possible options according to our concerns. You know they are being honest and not all about making money by asking u have unnecessary stuff. My husband has trouble teeth, very bad periodontitis and his 3rd molar extraction is one of the very complicated case, its in an awkward position and very close to facial nerve, other dental office has referred him to another surgeon specialist years ago but he was afraid to go. After he experienced the least painful deep cleaning ( periodontitis needs to have regular gum deep cleaning ) with Dr. Chan, he is confident dr in this office has highest expertise for his case, so he decided to let the specialist surgeon (I forgot his name) to extract his 3rd molar here. He was so impressed that the whole process was so quick and worried free! For daughter who already has decayed and staining teeth sine 2, is cared by Dr. Chan as well. She had her teeth cleaning, filling and check up done without fear and tears because Dr. Chan's calming voice, gentleness and friendly smiles. She never said no to see Dr. Chan. I also like their clean environment, never overbooked and friendly staff! Highly recommended!

    Thank God for Dr. May at Gateway Dental! My daughter (11 years old) has a baby tooth won't come out naturally, and it's blocking the permanent tooth so an extraction is needed . A little background, my daughter is so high maintenance and we went to quite a few dentists before and most of them won't have the patience to work with her. Until a few years ago we found Dr. May. She was so patient and nice. She won't scare the kid and will even take extra time to calm her down. Most doctors out there won't do that including Pediatric Dentists!!! No one has more patience than Dr. May! By the way, she always smile with her eyes! Due to the pandemic, we delayed our visit until we really have to, the set up at the office makes me feel SAFE and comfortable! First, they take your temperature with a contactless camera. The front desk wipe down the counter and pens multiple times for you. Then when you walk in, there are TWO air filters in each room, also there is an extra suction cup look machine place right above my daughter, between Dr. and the dental assistant. I was curious so I asked about it, turns out it's a machine works as vacuum, the objective is to keep less aerosol in the air!!! Along with TWO air filters in each room that I mentioned above, this definitely provide EXTRA protection to patients and staffs, especially during the pandemic. (Let alone we also have the wildfire going on.) The visit went smooth and once again, thank YOU Dr. May for taking care of my high maintenance daughter. She won't go to any other dentist but you, we are so grateful!

My root canal went smooth and painless. Thank goodness! Dr. Oo did a perfect job. Yes, the pain killer injections in the beginning was a bit painful, but very minimal. The most painful of the three injections was probably my cheeks area. But that was it. I waited approximately twenty minutes after the shots. I was admiring the mountain views from the room's window, I walked around outside the office (around the medical building) to ease myself before the procedure, and yes my heartbeat was still missing a beat. Anyhow, the root canal lasted about an hour and forty minutes. Dr. Oo did an awesome job. She was very hygienic, made sure my mouth was covered with a medical paper towel, except for a hole to work with, and she and her assistant was also properly geared in scrubs and masks to prevent bacterial infections. Dr. Oo us very professional. Kept checking on me to make sure I was fine. She was telling me about the different processes while working in my mouth for the most part to keep me informed. I basically did not feel any pain during the procedure. And the outcome along with the recovery period was to the point. I was also prescribed antibiotics just in case. Overall, great service, and very professional dental specialist office. I highly recommend the Ivy Institute for all your special dental needs.

Overall I had a pleasant experience and they definitely live up to their name as being specialists in dental and pain management!

From setting…read moreup the initial consultation to getting the actual procedure done (on the same day), it was seamless. I was in/out of there in a little over two hours. Upon walking in to the office, I was welcomed by a nice staff person who instructed me to fill out some paperwork. I was then taken to a room for the consultation. Dr. Yu advised to have a root canal based on his evaluation. I was then moved to another room for the actual procedure after having anesthesia injections into my mouth. After some prep work done by his very comforting staff, it was time for the games to begin! I appreciated how his staff guided me through the prep work and explained what they were doing. It honestly feels really weird to have your mouth wide open while having strange objects being placed inside. During the procedure, I could see they were passing instruments back/forth. There were weird sounds, noises and smells. I never felt uncomfortable as they always checked in to see if I was doing OK. Before I knew it, the procedure was over and Dr. Yu went over recovery expectations and the like. Overall, it was a very efficient and comfortable process. Hopefully I won't need to return anytime soon but it's nice to know that this office is available in the local area.

    Thank you Dr. John Yu for your kind care and warming environment at EndoCare center…read more I had a concerning tooth that I needed a consultation on and so I made the decision to make an appointment here after being referred and reading positive reviews. The whole experience was just really wonderful. Easy to book an appointment, friendly staff, and parking is just great. Dr. Yu is amazing and the reviews do him justice. He answered all my questions and I just felt so much peace of mind getting his professional opinion on a root canal. The procedure itself was painless and I can tell you I was nervous about the whole experience. They make you feel invited and welcomed at this office so if you need any root canal consultation please see Dr. John Yu.

My dentist recommended going to get consultation at Pasadena Endodontix. I read some negative reviews on Yelp and Google but my experience with Dr. Safa was nothing but professionalism and expert care and treatment. I would give more stars if Yelp allowed it. I only felt a tiny bit of discomfort at the initial injection but after that, no pain since. I've had other root canals at other dentist offices a long time ago and they took over an hour to finish and it was painful. I would recommend my family and friends to see Dr. Safa if they need an Endodontist. I hope I don't need another root canal, but if I do, I'm happy to come back here. Is it a bit pricey? Yes, but in my humble opinion, you're paying for expertise and quality care. My tooth is pain free, my blister is gone, and I can't believe I tolerated the discomfort and occasional pain related to the condition of my tooth for as long as I did before Dr. Safa treated it. The office staff and assistants are also top notch and professional. Thank you Pasadena Endodontix!

Dr Chang was incredibly talented and succeeded far beyond my expectations in meeting these two daunting challenges. I cannot begin to express my gratitude. She has great staff as well and a beautiful office overlooking a street of palm trees. But most important was her skill, her experience, and her positive attitude. She helped me believe I had a chance of eliminating my pain and having my teeth restored to health. Dr Chang was a pleasure to work with, very upbeat and willing to go the extra mile.

    Let me start out by saying that I am the worst dental patient! Even with orthodontia as a kid, the…read moredentist is stressful for me. On Thursday, 10/29, my regular dentist took regular full-month x-rays. It was determined that my tooth that had been giving me issues had a dying root. So he referred me to Dr. Thomas. I called when I got the referral from the car. I was in tears because I was so scared as my last root canal was a horror story. From the start, I could tell that this was going to be a different experience. Melissa calmed me down immediately and was able to get me a consultation appointment on Monday, 11/3. Fast forward to the appointment on Monday. The office had it's own parking lot in front which is awesome. The office looked and smelled clean like antiseptic and alcohol which one wants in a dentist. After some additional x-rays, Dr. Thomas came into examine my tooth. He was concerned that two teeth seemed to be infected so he performed sensory test to ensure tha the correct tooth was being treated. Yep, it was the expected tooth. Since Dr. Thomas had the available time, he was able to perform the root canal immediately after a CAT scan of my mouth. I loved this as I had so much less anxiety! I told him about my needle phobia and he was patient and easy while giving the anesthesia. He explained everything that was going on in my mouth, gave my mouth frequent rests from being open, used a dental dam to protect the tooth from saliva infection, and was just overall kind and gentle. Dr. Thomas only had me take OTC meds for pain and hot/cold compresses. He also did not prescribe any antibiotics as he wanted my immune system to try and resolve it first. I like this approach. If needed, antibiotics will be prescribed at the follow-up appointment. The office called to check on me this morning and made sure that I was taking the OTC meds and doing the compresses. Overall, I would recommend this dentist and office to anyone who needs a root canal. But, most especially for someone like me who is anxious and nervous at the dentist. Thank you, Dr. Thomas and staff! You are wonderful!

They're professional and good at their jobs but warm and hilarious as well. My treatment plan was estimated to go on for about a year but after just four months, Dr. Lee changed my entire look using Invisalign. I was blown away. I was originally turned down by one of those online teledentistry companies that I saw an ad for on Instagram. The polite rejection basically translated to "Your teeth are too messed up for our basic remote treatment, so seek out an actual orthodontist." [Waaahhh-- insert crying face emoji here!] After getting a consultation with Dr. Lee, I understood why. I had a lot of overcrowding that needed physical treatment, such as teeth slimming which obviously cannot be handled by a company that just sends you twenty trays, waves you a proverbial goodbye and expects to handle the rest of your treatment on your own. Kinda scary, especially for the cost they're charging you. If you choose to extend your treatment because you're unsatisfied with the results, these companies charge an additional $200+ every time you want to another round of trays. If anything goes wrong, there is no doctor for you to talk to, even for simple questions regarding any discomfort. Getting turned away was a blessing. Anytime I have a concern, I never feel rushed. My questions are thoroughly addressed and I understand everything that is happening with my teeth. Dr. Lee is not the extreme, upselling type. He was conservative with my plan and kept telling me that my teeth were nice enough when I was pushing for more treatment. I happily look at my teeth every day. Whether it's for themselves or their children, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lee to everyone who is looking for gentle but beautiful dental work.
