I was dental phobic, having not seen a dentist in 45 years. I needed a root canal and a lot of restorative work done. Dr Lee was very gentle and understanding. I am no longer afraid of the dentist. I highly recommend him. read more

I'm someone who is nervous and anxious about seeing any Dentist ,getting dental work done stresses me out. I have to build courage to go for a regular visit. Once I met Dr.Lee that changed everything ,I put all my trust in him. His gentleness won over my fear. I finally can make appt knowing that I'm in good hands . His staff sweet and kind and catered to my anxious needs at the beginning of my visits. His pricing is very reasonable and affordable. I highly recommend Dr. Lee read more

Recently had an extraction done, and it was by far the best experience I've had in terms of dentistry. Total professional and I didn't feel a thing! Will definitely be going back! read more

Dr. Lee did a fantastic job fixing my tooth after I had chipped it and made sure I was comfortable through the whole process.

Dr. Hanfu is a highly professional dentist. He performed an excellent job with my implant procedure. One of the things I particularly appreciate is the minimal wait times for appointments. read more

The long journey to this amazing smile started over 12yrs ago. Dr. Lee welcomed a local Monrovia boy with open arms on this extensive project to improve a lost smile. Even with my move to New York and quick one or two day trips to see Dr. Lee, he accommodated my schedule and provided me with appointment times to fit the short visits. Dr. Lee is the man to see for a perfect implant. I can't stop smiling, making different smiles, and talking to people with a confidence I didn't know I had. Throughout the implant process/procedure, Dr. Lee kept me in the loop on what was happening, and what steps would follow. An obvious fan of your work Dr. Lee. I'll continue to schedule my California visits and continue to see your office on those visits. Thank you read more

Dr Lee, is absolutely the best he always handles with very gentle care.You will Never feel him giving any shots at all. whenever I get a tooth pulled I end up asking is out yet 10 mins after he pulled it lol Dr Lee is the best. His office is a Sanctuary very calming and relaxing. read more

I was referred to Dr. Lee by my friend. I had bad experiences with previous dentists who were not gentle or I felt weren't honest. I'm glad my friend was able to recommend him, because he is very knowledgeable, professional, honest, and super nice. I have been going to him since 2018, and he has been my go to dentist. Recently I came in to have my wisdom tooth extracted, which I have been putting off for many years (because I was scared). Dr. Lee made the process very comfortable, painless, and quick. Dr. Lee and his dental assistant saw how nervous and anxious I was and talked me through the entire process, giving me an update on what's happening and what to expect so that it would calm my nerves. After the procedure, he called/texted to make sure that everything was okay. I really appreciate how Dr. Lee followed up, it shows he truly cares for his patients. I would definitely recommend him to my friends and family or anyone looking for a great dentist. read more

I have been plagued with dental anxiety for several years after a few encounters of subpar dental work or poor bedside manner. On top of that, as a healthcare provider I have become hyperaware of the reality that there can be significant quality differences between providers. From my first visit with him I felt very comfortable. I noticed how skilled and light handed his technique was. He switched out a poor quality temporary filling to a much more appropriate one and I had immediate relief after the first visit. I appreciated his attention to detail and the amount of time he took to make sure the fillings were shaped appropriately, as to not interfere with my bite (other dentists felt rushed). Fair warning, I did have some visits where I had to wait a little bit and the appointments could be long as he would have more than one patient in the office. But I feel that it is preferable for a dentist to take their time on their work, than to rush you out to make sure they are on time for their next patient (my experience with the initial dentist). Also, his hours of business are much more accommodating for those who have trouble taking time off work. It was definitely worth it for me to come out to see him, even though it could be an hours drive one way. There is plenty of parking behind his office, so I at least don't have to worry about finding a spot and paying for parking like I had to in LA. At this point, I've had all my needed treatments done and for the first time in years I am finally free of discomfort and dental anxiety. So grateful to Dr. Lee and his team (who are kind and also provide excellent care). So in summary, if you're someone who has had negative experiences that have led you to be avoidant of the dentist, I strongly recommend seeing Dr. Lee. He really has improved my quality of life and I am very grateful for his work. read more

Dr. Lee is AMAZING! I brought my husband in today to have a broken tooth pulled. Dr. Lee came in on his day off at to help my husband. He was very friendly and eased my husbands nerves. He was so gentle, to the point that my husband didn't even know the tooth had come out. The procedure was so fast and completely painless. I highly recommend Dr. Lee. My husband and I will definitely be coming to see him for all of out dental needs. THANK YOU DR LEE read more

5 stars!!!!! I needed an emergency wisdom tooth extraction done and Dr Lee came in right away to help me even tho the office was closed. I was vary nervous that it would be extremely painful. Lucky for me Dr Lee is an expert at this and did the whole thing quickly and pain free. I was truly shocked how fast and pain free the process was. Thank you so much for helping me last minute Dr Lee read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lee late last month and since then I had two procedures which included wisdom teeth extractions. If you read his bio, you will know his years of expertise and knowledge is all facts once you consult with him. He is very thorough, professional, an expert and simply a great person. As far as the procedures are concerned, you can tell he is experienced and just simply a "master of his craft." I experienced minimal pain during my procedures. What I was very impressed with Dr. Lee is he followed up with me the the next day by call and text to check how I was doing. He provided his direct contact so if I had an issues and questions I can contact him direc As far as his dental office is concerned, it's pristine and clean. For the staff, they are all great. Mrs. Lee has the motherly touch, especially if you have that "fear" of going to the dentist. It's has a family environment that makes the experience smooth and enjoyable. So if your looking for a dentist that is knowledgeable, efficient, has passion for his patients and work, enjoyable, and simply gets job done, Dr. Lee is the Dentist for you! read more

I came to see Dr. Lee today for second opinion for my tooth that the dentist near my house said I need a crown because of the cavity and the filing won't fix it. I was skeptical , so I came to see Dr. Lee because I know that he is very trust worthy. After an exam and X-ray he said there is no cavity and no need for a crown. He just smooth out my filing which take just a few minutes to do. My family and I will be coming to him now even though I live all the way in Covina read more

I'm in the process of getting a dental implant and am so happy I came across Dr. Lee's office. Everyone in the office is so helpful and friendly. I was a little nervous about getting the procedure but Dr. Lee explained step by step of what the process would be, which really put me at ease. He even called the evening after my surgery to make sure I was doing OK afterwards. I have a couple more months to go before the procedure is completed, but I'm confident I am in good hands. I highly recommend going to Dr. Lee for all your dental needs. read more

I had to get my wisdom teeth removed last minute due to a ton of pain and Dr. Lee was able to get me in within the week. I do not like dentists at all because most times it's painful and when he removed them I didn't feel anything! And I was awake! He is by far the best dentist I have ever been to and I will definitely be going back (even though I live 600 miles away) read more

Dr. Hanfu Lee did an amazing job working on my teeth. His staff is so nice and pleasant to work with and Dr. Lee very accommodating with the hours I can come in as I work over an hour away and it is tough to get there. I highly recommend working with him for all of your dental needs! read more

Five stars for Dr. Lee. He is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. I've been a patient of his for many years and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is very knowledgeable and kind. I appreciate all of his patience with me as I am not ever thrilled being in the chair. Thanks Dr. Lee... you are the best. read more

DR. LEE SAVED MY TOOTH. The previous dentist I went to was horrible. They made me wait two hours in the dental chair for god knows why. They cleaned my teeth but I later found out they did a bad job because there is still tartar stuck in between the teeth. They said I needed a Root canal and a crown and overestimated my out of pocket costs...at $3000. I wanted a second opinion on a lot of things because I really questioned their professionalism and skills as a dental group. I was yelping around and I found Dr. Lee for a second opinion. I was impressed during the new patient consultation because they don't over book patients...I only waited maybe 10 minutes to do the paperwork. I liked how Dr. Lee found a lot of cavities that the previous dentist missed. I especially liked how he Saran wraps his laptop and changes that for each patient. Extra points for cleanliness! Ultimately, he was able to save my tooth with a deep filling instead of the dreadful crown and root canal. Dr. Lee and his staff are really friendly and he's probably the gentlest dentist I've ever encountered. He made sure I wasn't in pain and made sure my tooth felt comfortable and adjusted it correctly before I left the dental chair. I will for sure be back to upkeep this smile of mine :) read more

If you follow my reviews then you know that I am very careful when I decide to review a company, service or product. Reviews are meant to be a guideline to help people decide on whether they should work with a company, use a service or try a product. First and foremost, I have extremely high anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. I had put off going to the dentist for many years because I was terrified. The last time I had been in a dentist chair I had an anxiety attack and it took me a whole year to complete the dental procedures that I needed done, when the procedure could have been done in two hours. About four years ago I started reading about the different links between oral and general health and realized that I needed to seriously take care of my oral health the way I am taking care of my general health. I was living in Duarte, California at the time and decided I would find a dentist near where I lived. I was so afraid to call the dental offices. I would look at their websites, look at their reviews and PRAY A LOT! I finally decided to call Dr. Hanfu Lee's office in Arcadia, California. I told his assistant that when I go to the dentist I have extreme anxiety and was afraid. She assured me that Dr. Lee was very gentle, knowledgeable and would be able to work on my teeth no matter what I may experience. So, I decided to TAKE A CHANCE on Dr. Lee and his dental office. His dental office is very clean and they offer water, coffee, snacks while you wait. When I first started going to him my anxiety was so strong that my whole body would literally shake while he was working on my teeth. Dr. Lee was so patient, so kind and allowed me the time and space I needed to calm down. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable that now after four years when I am in his chair I don't experience the anxiety. Before Dr. Lee starts any procedure he explains what he is about to do. In my case he would also ask me if I wanted to watch a movie, which I always did to take my mind off of things. I love watching the movie "Monster-in-Law" starring Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Wanda Sykes and Michael Vartan. Side note, Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes are hilarious in this movie! Recently, I had made an appointment for my mom to have just a consultation with Dr. Lee. During the consultation, Dr. Lee realized that my mom needed some emergency work done that could not wait and also she thought that she was going to lose a tooth but he was able to treat the tooth and save it. Later that evening, Dr. Lee text me to check on my mom and to see how we were doing. Dr. Hanfu Lee is the most compassionate, patient, caring, knowledgeable and professional dentist I know. If you have ever dealt with anxiety or you are fearful of going to the dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Hanfu Lee. He is great with dealing with children, elders, high anxiety issues or whatever you are concerned with. I moved back to the Los Angeles area but still drive about 30 miles from Los Angeles to Arcardia for Dr. Hanfu Lee's dental services! Now, if I could just convince him to open up a second practice in Los Angeles! read more

I've been to quite a few dentists but I'd have to say Dr.Lee was the best. His office has a very clean atmosphere and such a friendly staff. I felt I was in the right hands when getting my wisdom tooth extracted. Definitely recommend, and will be returning soon. read more

Dr. Lee is a wonderful and highly knowledgeable dentist. My family has been going to him for years and we could not be more happy. He listens carefully to your concerns and creates a plan that fits your needs. I highly recommend him! read more

The experience from Doctor Hanfu Lee and his associates, create a smile that makes the appointments more enjoyable than most other Dentistry Practice I have experienced. Mr. Lee is very knowledgeable not only in dentistry but, also in Orthodontics. I prefer to set my appointments with his staff, they make the visit much more pleasant. Mr. Lee and his team work very hard to keep the patients needs at a top priority, resolving in the best dental treatment you can have. His technology for treatment is top notch and I recommend his expertise to reassure his Cosmetic and Family Dentistry Patients that they are supported in his practice. Since I am a consumer of Medical and Dental Practice, I highly recommend Dr. Hanfu Lee for your dental needs. read more

Such an amazing experience! I had to get my 2 bottom wisdom teeth removed because they were impacted and I could barely open my mouth because they hurt so bad. I called and they fit me in right away! The staff was so sweet and welcoming. When I went back to get them removed, he made sure I felt numb enough before he started and I didn't feel any pain the entire time. I was super nervous to get my teeth extracted but he was very gentle and made me feel super comfortable. I 10/10 recommend you see Dr. Lee for any dental needs! You will definitely not regret it!! read more

Best dentist experience ever. I had a complication with prior dental work I had many years ago from a different dentist. Dr. Lee fixed the issue right there and then. He was really kind, thorough, and professional. Furthermore, the way Dr Lee worked, it was amazingly painless. I also really appreciated the fact that he also checked in later to make sure everything went well. The office and equipment was very clean, and the staff was extremely kind. I'll definitely be back. Best dentist ever! read more

Dr. Lee makes going to the dentist a very easy process. As soon as I walk in for my appointment, I never have to wait a long time. Dr. Lee gets right to work and is very easy to communicate with. He keeps you informed on what he is doing every step of the way and always makes sure you are completely numb before proceeding with any treatment. His practice is super clean and modern as well, which makes every visit even more comfortable. Dr. Lee is the best! read more

Dr Lee is the the best Dentist in the area. I have been going to him at least 15 years and he has always does excellent work on my teeth. He is the most knowledgeable dentist I have ever met even with the most complex dental situations. Currently he has been treating me with Invisalign and I have had nothing but amazing results. My very crooked teeth that I never thought could be straight now look amazing. Thank you Dr Lee for the great results you never disappoint. read more

Dr. Hanfu Lee is such a professional and personal dentist, sometimes, I forget that he needs to do his job when treating me. I treat him as a friend! I had to have 3 wisdom teeth extracted, which two were impacted, and he did the work seamlessly - no pain whatsoever. To provide more color of how comfortable I was, the music that was being played, I was drumming to the beat as he was pulling my teeth! His assistants were also pleasurable as well. Dr. Hanfu Lee is careful, thorough, and crafty in his work. He has been a dentist for 32 years and it's safe to say that he knows what he is doing. From personal experience and viewing his past work, he can bring teeth at the state of no return, to life. If your teeth needs whitening or manipulation, he is the man to do the job. Thank you, Dr. Lee! read more

Hands down the best Dentist! Caring, attention to detail and such a professional. I had a Root Canal done by him and let me tell you it was painless, like magic! I was perfectly fine within less than an hour. I live over an hour away, with plenty dental offices in my area and I would still make the drive to Dr. Lee's office any day. He made me feel very comfortable, he took his time, and again NO PAIN. Him and his wife are so incredible, everything was easy going, and will work with you on the prices. I left very happy, and in such a shock to find out there is still honest Dentist out there that truly want the best for their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Lee's office, you will not regret it. THANK YOU DR. LEE & Mrs. LEE. read more

Got my upper wisdom teeth out by Dr. Lee! It was painless!! Ate Arcadia Chinese food a couple hours after with no problems! Btw thumbs up to Capitol Seafood on Huntington. :) I've been going to this dental office for many years now. Getting a cleaning here is a real joy as the hygienist is gentle, uses various gels and mouthrinses to help numb you more, and uses advanced technology such as lasers to help my gums really heal up well. She is also extremely friendly. I used to have 5 mm pockets, but after help from her and better oral hygiene, my gums have significantly improved to 3 and 2 mm pockets now. The office is the most beautiful office I have seen! Also, one can see that he does beautiful cosmetic work from all the pictures of cases adorning his waiting room and reception area. He really is the best dentist I have ever been to! Dr. Lee is a UCLA dental school graduate (Go Bruins!), and is definitely extremely intelligent and friendly. Disclaimer: I am a dental student so I know a lot about teeth! I don't know why there are such negative reviews below from the Groupon people. I guess haters gonna hate. Dr. Lee is very gentle and getting injections I honeslty barely even feel the needle. He's had 30 years of experience performing everything from implants to basic fillings and is really the best dentist I know of in terms of overall gentleness, compassion when explaining things, knowledge, technology, and scope of practice. It is unfortunate that others had a negative experience here, but I guess those that don't get cleanings regularly and buy Groupons to go to a new dentist for a cleaning probably don't realize that the worse shape your mouth is in, the more it will bleed and the more it will actually hurt during a proper cleaning! Steven below had a "cap popped" into him or in other words needed a deep cleaning which can cost 5x the amount of money but Dr. Lee probably just charged the groupon fee. One can think about it this way, gums that aren't taken care of well are inflamed and infected with bacteria that is within plaque. Inflammation causes bleeding because of thinning of the gums as well as increased blood flow (the reason that if you are allergic to something and you get inflammation it gets all red and also why gums get more swollen when infected). Also, inflammation causes increased pain due to a heightened response to pain (read wikipedia if want more info)! Getting off all the tartar/calculus/plaque that has built up over months is sometimes something that requires more force. Gums have the potential to heal if given a clean environment so removing all the tartar is essential for proper healing. Furthermore, the "bill" that was stated above by another patient is not a "bill." It is an estimate of how much further treatment would cost if decided to perform said treatments. And yes, I will admit, dentistry can be expensive. That is why wisdom teeth extractions at oral surgeons are over 2000 dollars for 4 teeth and an hour appointment! But, that is why preemptive work is done on teeth, to actually save money for more costly procedures in the future. Lastly, it is unfortunate that one of the patients felt sensitivity after the treatment of his teeth. Since I'm a dental student now I know some things about dental work and sometimes the patient can perceive things differently because they do not know what actually is going on. Pain is not the only indicator of a tooth problem. Root canals are actually often done on teeth that are dead and can no longer feel anything at all! A filling that is falling out or that is leaking is an indicator that there is a cavity underneath an already drilled filling. Sensitivity can occur post-operatively from drilling because taking a drill to a tooth can always be a traumatic experience especially if the filling was already deep and close to the pulp (the nerves in the teeth). However, to save the tooth from its ill fated ultimate destruction if the cavity is allowed to continue growing, a dentist needs to sometimes drill on a tooth to clean out all the decayed tooth structure. A filling is much cheaper than a possible 2000 dollar implant down the road and sensitivity can often go away soon or after a few months, but it can also linger as the tooth has been through a lot. I am sure Dr. Lee had the patient's best interests in mind, and I am also sure the X-rays would show that they were necessary treatments. I actually implore the above reviewer to go and get the x-rays from Dr. Lee and bring them to another dentist to get a second opinion on those fillings that were done, and I am sure that another dentist would agree with him. If you guys have any questions about dental procedures or dental work just comment on this review! I'd love to help explain why a dentist did something or why things are necessary. Dentistry is a very weird science to many patients, but with the right explanation it can make perfect sense. P.s. check out filtered reviews read more

I've given Dr. Hanfu Lee/Office 5 stars because they truly deserve it! The office is beautiful, clean and very professional. Dr. Lee and his staff make you feel comfortable at all times. I've had various procedures done in his office that have resulted in perfection!! Thank you Dr. Lee and the entire staff!! read more

Got a good deal from Groupon for a cleaning. Went in few days ago, the office is clean and Dr. Lee was very professional After the procedure, I had no pain and noticed my teeth super clean and white. Couldn't ask for a better dentist. Not only he was good. He was very thorough. He explained what he's going to do and checked if I have any problem with my teeth. I know I can count him not only he graduated from UCLA (Go Bruins) lol!. He was very nice, he treats his patient like his family. (Sometimes you go to a dentist and there are those hidden fees). Not with Dr. Lee, he explained everything. I can't wait for my next cleaning :D. Definitely, recommend all my family and friends and you guys to go see him :). read more

I have been going to Dr. Lee for several years. He and his staff are extremely knowledgable and professional. They are warm, welcoming and put you at ease the moment you walk in. I have had teeth cleaning, tooth extraction with a permanent implant and root canal work done. All of which were explained completely as to why these were being done as well as a description of the step by steps of the procedures and costs associated. Unfortunately, no dental procedure is completely painless, Dr. Lee and his team and work hard to make it so and are constantly checking on your comfort level. I high recommend you visit Dr. Lee and his team. read more

Dr. Lee and his staff are fantastic. They're super friendly and very accommodating when it comes to scheduling appointments. A couple of times, I had an emergency on a day they were closed and Dr. Lee was nice enough to see me at his dental office. He's a very nice guy, very serious at times but still has a good sense of humor. His staff is really great. Ray, the dental hygienist, is excellent (and sweet). She's very thorough and does a great job making you feel comfortable. Gina, I think she's the office manager, smart as a whip. If you have any issues, she'll take care of it for you. The rest of his staff are very personable as well. read more

Dr. Lee is really amazing! I suffered from a bad toothache due to my wisdom teeth, so I came here to have them extracted. Dr. Lee is so gentle that I didn't feel any pain after anesthesia in the whole surgery procedure. He also told me about the medication instructions patiently. A five-star dentist overall!!! read more

Wow, wish these poor reviews were up before I visited this horrific dentist. Bought a groupon for x-rays and a dental cleaning, which is what brought me in in the first place... mistake. Not only was he one of the most rough and painful dentists I've ever been too, but as I was leaving I somehow needed three fillings replaced, deep scaling on both the bottom and top teeth, and strongly suggested that i could use invisilign and teeth whitening. Unfortunately, I went ahead and had my fillings replaced. Now 6 months later I can't chew on that side of my mouth and my teeth are so sensitive that I can no longer drink ice water. P.S. no sensitivity and problems before going to this dentist. Do Not Go! read more

My experience at this office was the best dental experience I've ever had! I came in for a checkup and cleaning and was delighted with the professional service and great environment Dr. Hanfu Lee and his dental team provided. He and the team explained every step and made me feel very comfortable and executed each procedure perfectly. From his beautiful and pristine office, to the sweetest office manager Mrs. Lee and lovely assistants you cannot go wrong! Dr. Lee is patient-centered and he is an expert in his field. His standards of care go above and beyond. I don't know anyone who enjoys going to the dentist, but with him you won't have a problem, and I promise you will look forward to seeing him and his friendly staff. I have referred my friends and family here for their dental needs. Choose Dr. Hanfu Lee as your dentist if you want nothing but the best! read more

He feels like your uncle who's going to do his best for you. read more
