Dr. Lee was my dentist years ago when I was younger, he was always great. When I moved to Los Angeles I changed dentists multiple times thinking I could find a good one near me. Long story short. I didn't. I can't stand going to the dentist but also can't stand things being wrong with my teeth lol. After visiting other dentists and multiple horror stories and being told I had a LOT more cavities than I believed I decided to travel back to him and have him take care of me. He is honest and does't suggest work that isn't necessary. He preformed 4 cavity fillings, two wisdom teeth extractions, replaced two of my silvers with natural white AND a cleaning in under three hours and I didn't feel a thing! It's so worth the drive, I hope to never leave again. read more

After I had an implant from another periodontist and came to him for regular cleaning with HMO insurance coverage. He suddenly raised voice & got mad saying he could do implant by himself. His point was that HMO Medicare-dental coverage plan does not give him enough income at all. All I could say at the time was "You are rude & I refuse your service". Most of its equipments are not up to date or properly cleaned/maintained. One noticeable one is X-ray machine which is mechanically unstable so that X-ray beam is shaking during irradiation; as a result, the images were blurry as well as tinier than other dental offices. I am not sure any dentist even can make correct judgement based on them. Then, the dentist sends his patient to another speciality dentists who may provide 2nd opinion. It may cause additional inconvenience & extra financial burden to the patients, I think. read more

First off, I would like to say that the reviewer Elaine H. is mistaken. Dr. Lee is male and not a female dentist. I think she made the mistake of putting a wrong review here for a different dental office, as there is another business called Harbor Dental in La Habra with a female dentist. I'm sure the 1-star review was for her. Secondly, I would like to say that Dr. Lee is really good at tooth extraction and doing dental implants. He did my implant a few years ago and it was almost painless, didn't even need pain medication or antibiotics (even though I was prescribed both). Of course there is a little soreness after a tooth extraction, but I can safely say I was able to sleep that night without problems. He does dental work the safe and traditional way. My implant process took a few months since he needed to check how my bone was healing, which is the right way to do it if you are over 60 years old. Only thing I have to add is that I miss Elda, his hygienist. She was very good at cleaning teeth. read more

They did so much paper works. And Dentist didn't explain much, gave me some paper work. I had very bad experience here. read more

Less than one star should be an opinion. Extremely disrespectful dentist here. I should have known from the outside it wasn't a good place. The staff was great actually but the dentist was not only rude but started talking crazy and demoralizing me. I literally got up and left on the spot. That's how bad it was. It was completely unnecessary and I've never felt so disrespected and honestly I'm not sure how a business can operate with this type of disrespect towards customers. I don't recommend this place. Such a waste of my time and energy. Bad vibes. Do NOT recommend. read more

See all

Even 1 star is too much for this place. Doctor here has no dignity nor manner as doctor or even as human being. My father has visited this place for implant and its cost. Because the amount seemed too much comparing with prior dental my father got an implant (now the doctor retired) my father inform to doctor in harbor care of how much he paid previouly. Then doctor in harbor care asked whats the name of the doctor and started cursing out by saying that doctor is son of bixxx and went on screaming. My father felt extremely intimidated by way the doctor act and had to leave. Also my mother made appoint to get teeth clean on same date and time with my father( for implant)... after getting xray, told my mother that they need to come back another day to get teeth clean and that is the policy. I have never heard this kind of bs. It seems like scam to get more money by having visit twice for simple teeth cleaning. read more

Do not come here. See my other detailed review and how many more bad reviews are similar. And dentists don't get many yelp reviews, he's just that terrible. There is a new review from one day ago where someone's father seems to have been cussed out just for asking for comparable prices, very similar to me. Mr. Lee has a temper, is immature and defensive, and is dangerous. Please do not let anyone you know give him their business. read more

Great service! Always take cares my teeth. Excellent Doctor and their staffs. It is my trustable dentist for ling time.

Our dentist of 20 yrs retired. I was looking for a family dentist since is 7 in our family. Harbor Dental Care is walking distance from me. I decided to give Harbor dental a try since 3 of our children got braces with them. Elda their Hygienists did an excellent job in cleaning our family teeth. She is a professional on her job and would definitely recommend her. Dr. Lee is nice, funny and knows what he is doing. He is an old timer, but is knowledgeable and won't rip you off with treatments that you don't need. The place is clean and well disinfected. The front and back office staff are friendly and took good care of us. I would definitely recommend this Dentist. read more

Dr. Lee is the best at what he does. After my old dentist retired a few years back, I decided to see Dr. Lee to care for my teeth. You can tell he's very skilled after having work done with him. He is honest, professional and the best dentist in Orange County. read more

First, it's so hard to find an honest dentist! We are new patients and Dr. Lee was so fun and friendly but, most importantly he was honest. His staff were so nice and happy. Elda cleaned my teeth better than anyone has ever cleaned them! Our goody bags had brand name goodies in it! Scope, crest 3D toothpaste.. we are happy! read more

Harbor Dental Care - General Dentistry Near Me - La Habra, California

What a weird place. I had an appointment to clean my teeth set up. When I arrived they wanted to do the full Monty, x-rays, exam and bla,bla. I told them maybe next time, today the cleaning only please. Dr. Strangelove came out and told me no cleaning and goodbye. I will not go back. I've known prison dentist with better attitudes. I think it best to avoid this practice. read more

I highly recommend harbor dental care to everyone. Dr lee and his staff are amazing I've been coming to this dental office for over 15 years they're like family to me. They're professionals at best and their prices are very comparable. I just love my dentist and the all his staff. read more

I've been going to Dr. Lee for several years now for cleanings and check ups. Appreciate Micah for always taking care of me and my finicky schedule. The cleanings are always done well and I really appreciate the attention to detail and how thorough it is. Would definitely recommend harbor dental care to others. read more

I will always respect him because I trust him to the max!!! I would never go to any other Dentist for as long as he is in practice. He never charged me extra at all.

I haven't been treating my teeth well in recent years. He was honest enough to tell me about my bad habits which keep causing this dental issues with me. I am thankful for his honest help! read more

I had not been to the dentist for around ten years when I went to Dr. Lee. I sat down in the chair and opened my mouth and Dr. Lee looked inside. His only response: OH SHIT!!! That made me laugh so hard and completely calmed me down and the whole experience was awesome. He did a deep cleaning that he said would probably hurt but he is so good at what he does that it did not hurt at all. I can honestly say that going to the dentist is not a big deal because I know that it will be a pleasant experience. And P.S. Youni S. is my wife and I completely agree with her review. After all she turned me on to Dr. Lee but I am the one who decided to keep going to him. read more

Pretty upset and disappointed. I've been going here for 9 years or so and usually Dr. Lee jokes around and makes me not feel so nervous being that since I was a kid i had a fear of the dentist Dr. Lee would make me feel less nervous. Well today I went in after waking up with pain in my jaw and slight neck pressure. I have always known I had TMJ since grade school. But of course over time it can worsen. I do good about avoiding harder foods or taking bigger bites but I possible slept wrong being that I have a new born and I co sleep. Well a few years ago it was recommended that I get a mouth guard for night time to help with my tmj. Norma the office manager (No longer there :() quoted me around $400 which I didn't have. So I declined and made sure to take care of my jaw I even went to my chiropractic regularly which included pressure points and routines towards my tmj problem. I did research on this and it really helps. I honestly probably slept wrong and was worrying to much but figured it was best I go in for a check up. Well after being rudely spoken too practically making me cry while I had my 6 month old in hand and my 9 year old and made fun of by one dental assistant ill be leaving this dentist and taking my family with me. read more

Like majority of the bad reviews posted about Dr. Lee of Harbor Dental in La Habra, I will be giving the same review. I came a few weeks ago for my initial visit and after probably 4 minutes of him looking at my X-ray and my teeth, Dr. Lee concluded that I need deep cleaning. With some underlying medical conditions, he wanted me to get clearance from my medical doctor for said procedure which I did. Today, I came to his clinic to ask him if I can just have the regular cleaning and explained to him that I've been through 4 surgeries recently and I prefer not to undergo another extensive procedure. Instead of explaining the need of such procedure, he blurted out, if you don't want to do my recommendation you can go to other dentist. He was even bragging about him being one of the best in the nation. He even accused me of being unethical and questioning his 30 years of dental experience. Did he forget that he is talking to his patient. He disrespected me in front of his staff. I don't recommend this dental office. Dr. Lee is the rudest and unprofessional dentist I have ever met. read more

This was the most unprofessional and unpleasant dental experience I have had. My appointment was scheduled for 4 pm and I didn't get to see the doctor until 5:36 pm. It was so long I counted the minutes. After seeing me for a full 2 minutes he said I needed deep cleaning which was not possible today and I needed to reschedule for a 600 dollar deep cleaning. The nurse noted my good insurance and said it would only cost me 100 dollars co-pay. This place totally wants to scam you for your money and Dr. Lee doesn't value your time. When I called the place back to see if I could change the deep cleaning to a regular cleaning, Dr. Lee told me to go find some other dental office and that he did a thorough examination in 2 minutes by simply looking at X-rays and not actually examining my teeth. When I think back to this experience I also want to note: Beware of the x-ray technician and staff who handle your equipment without using gloves. I will be informing my insurance company of this terrible experience and also getting a new Dentist ASAP. Never coming back here and you shouldn't either. read more

Absolutely the best dentist office I have been to in 78 years. friendly, client centered, available, and great work. They are the most gentle dental services I have been to ever. I highly recommend this professional team! easy to get to and great parking! read more

He is the one of worst dentist I have ever experienced in my life in term of his manner and attitude. In addition his price is also ridiculously high compare with other dentists. I highly recommend not go there. read more

Absolutely awful. If you can, please avoid coming here. Don't get me wrong, the staff and doctor are all very sweet. They just have no idea what they're doing. I went in for a checkup and the doctor found cavities. He said around 9 (I clearly don't go to the dentist a lot). Then, his dental assistant found 4 more! SHE DID! He wasn't paying enough attention and had to leave that to her. Humph! That was a bad sign. So he filled my cavities and I always had had pain with eating candy. So after a few weeks, my cavities still hurt. I thought it was weird but I never said anything. Then I decided to go to another dentist. She said I had 13 cavities! Are you kidding me? I thought this guy filled and fixed my 13 cavities? I at least PAID for it! Then it made sense that I still had pain. Absolutely awful. I could not believe that after all that money, and all that pain, he didn't even fix them. I had the exact same number of cavities. Never ever go there!! read more

I have not been to a dentist in over 10 years because of extreme fear. I made an appointment for a consultation. Dr Lee listened to my concerns and why I had been so afraid of dentist. He was very compassionate to my concerns. I went back to speak with Norma and Tamara because I was still scared, they were extremely helpful. I made my appointment and actually showed up for it. Dr Lee was very patient with me and I can honestly say, he wiped my fears away. I want to say thank you to Dr Lee, Norma and Tamara. You are all wonderful and I will be back, and I will be recommending you to all my family and friends. Sherril Kugelman read more

I am very cautious when going to a new dentist because of past traumatized experience. But Dr Lee is just awesome. He will be my dentist from now on. He knows what he's doing and he's good. Thank you Dr Lee! I will be referring others to come here. read more

This came up as a new dental choice when our plan unexpectedly changed. The staff is nice and the rooms are bright. The dentist said I needed a filling for a tooth I broke that my previous dental office told me I would need a crown. Big cost saving. read more

Dr. Lee is very professional dentist and he takes care of his patients very well. He always greets me and my family with a big smile and comforts us with jokes and asking how we've been. My father, mother, sisters and I started coming here and then we recommended to our other family members. As a result, currently my husband, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandfather and grandmother is a fan of Dr. Lee. He probably doesn't know they are my families but what I heard from everybody is that he is wonderful! Especially, when he pulls your teeth, you barely feel anything. That's how good he is! My family members and I saved so much money on our teeth and learned how to maintain them well from him and his staff. I've been visiting this dentist office for almost 10 years and never had a bad experience! read more

Dr. Lee and staff are the best! He does the best dental work ever. We wouldn't go anywhere else. Even my mother comes here and she is so happy with her teeth read more

The worst ever! Please do not go here for your dental needs! The dentist is condescending and rude. There are so many other dental offices available to you which are much more up to date in technique and with more modern equipment, why would you want to go to this rude, dirty and antiquated office?? Yikes! read more

As a child I had more than a few bad dentist experiences that left me with some major dental anxiety; which I carried well into adulthood. Long story short, Dr. Lee is brilliant; he put me at easy by reassuring me that I was in good hands. 10 years later, I'm still a patient, I maintain my regular dental checks-ups with his office.. I can not imagine seeing a dentist other than Dr. Lee. His staff is kind, friendly and extremely professional..... read more

I am very nervous of dentists...I had a bad expierence from when I was younger. I came in to see Dr.Lee with pain on my top left side. I found out I had a really bad infection from my wisdom tooth. An infection was starting on my lower right as well Dr. Lee sugested they all get pulled out so I can avoid more problems latter. I also needed a deep cleaning due to not going to the dentist for a few years. Also I had two cavities. Dr. Lee did all of it that same day. All my wisdom teeth were pulled out and I had no more problems. Even with the infection on both sides he pulled out my wisdom teeth like it was nothing. My fear went away at that moment because it wasnt that bad he made me feel very safe. The lady assisting him was very nice and friendly as well. So was the rest of the staff in the front and the back, they assured me that it wasnt going to be bad and ill be fine. Now i dont mind going to the desntist as long as its Dr. Lee and his staff. I will definitly be going back for my 6 months cleaning. read more
