I highly recommend Dr.Rhee at J Smile Dental. The entire team is incredibly trustworthy and transparent. Dr.Rhee took the time to explain every single procedure in detail, using visual aids and answering all my questions until I felt completely comfortable. There were never any surprises; they provided clear, detailed cost estimates upfront, and I found their pricing to be very reasonable and fair for the quality of care received. It's refreshing to feel so well-informed and valued as a patient! read more

The staff was super nice. The cleaning and x-rays were painless. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a dentist.

Friendly staff, clean environment and great dentist. Have been comm I'm big here for years. Would definitely recommend.

Very friendly staff and friendly dentist. Very nice person over the phone when booking an appointment for the first time. Got all my information and was very pleasant, made it very easy for me to make an appointment. They confirmed the day before for your appointment. Walked in and you have to fill out forms. So go early. It's very clean. Parking is a little small but I doubt they over book patients. The office sits right in the middle of the street. Dr. Rhee got the job done and my husband tooth is doing well. We are going back for cleaning. read more

Excellent as always, very clean and great staff! The dentist always goes the extra mile for his patients and is upfront and honest.

Dr Rhee by far "THE BEST DENTIST" I have ever been too. It's been approximately 8 years that I have been going to him and he has never failed to have a smile on his face along with his staff. He has always used the latest technology making my office visits easy welcoming and down right special. When you set your appointment and you arrive you are in your chair cleaned x-rayed and on your way before you even notice you were nervous. That's Magic.... He has just moved into a new facility witch resembles a home from the outside and a beautiful office on the inside. Shooooo I want to go and just hang out in the office on my off time just because....Everything brand spanking new....always with the latest technology warm, Inviting, comfortable open floor plan ran by a Man and his staff who really whole heartedly cares about his patients. And yes my entire family goes to him because I wouldn't have it any other way. Kudos Dr. Rhee to you and your staff and your amazing new office for simply existing. You guys rock and make a hell of a difference. 2 thumbs up !!!!!! read more

See all

Easy to make appointment. Good location. Have only had one appointment but everything is fine so far

Dr. Rhee and staff are really the best. Start to finish... honest and compassionate. Not much of a parking lot, and at an odd triangle in the street which can get busy at times. But.... really worth his care read more

While the office was clean and everyone was very nice... the dental hygienist was not very hygienic. She put on gloves, THEN touched everything in the area, THEN put her hands in my mouth for the cleaning. When I mean everything, I'm referring to the chair, the control to adjust my chair, then apron shield for the X-ray, the x-ray equipment (which is nicely hidden in the wall). Like I said, the establishment was nice especially the decor. Main concerns (1) the hygienist as mentioned above and (2) the fact that there was a hygienist doing the cleaning (my old, dentist of 20 years did his own cleanings--manually too, not using drill-like instruments.) Positives-- Easy to get an appointment, They take insurance, Friendly staff and Dr, Nice decor read more

I have been looking for good dentist for long time. I needed few implants and root canals. The office was clean, staff was very friendly, most of all the price was very fair. DR. Rhee explained entire treatments before he started. He made me feel comfortable. After the treatment, also got a call from office to follow up with treatment. I would give two thumbs up. Thank you.. read more

He used to be good before he moved to Nutley. Now it's just business. He mixed up the dental diagnosis with another patient and just laughed about it when asked why. The crowns he put in only lasted a couple of years and they are having to be replaced even though they were pitched as lasting at least a decade. No apology, just excuses. The reception staff don't even smile, nevermind say please or thank you when you arrive or pay. This is what happens when you expand and need to make more money but your business is based on personal service. After 5 years of looking after my family's teeth I wouldn't trust him again after the experience and unprofessionalism of the last two visits and the wasted money on bad dental work. read more

I won't be coming back to this place again. I've been coming here for years and the way the doctor handled an experience I had when the dental hygienist did my cleaning was bad. When she did one side, I was struggling to swallow during the cleaning and it was a truly a scary experience. I was also swollen for hours after even though she said it would be 45mins-1hr. When I asked if the doctor could do my other side for my next visit, it went perfectly. It's disappointing because I received no apology from the doctor or the dental hygienist. In fact, the doctor spoke down to me as if I did something wrong. I didn't feel like a valued patient at all. read more

Dr. Rhee has a state of the art modern office. The wait time is minimal and he is friendly as is his receptionist Lisa. Dr. Rhee performs your hygiene procedures which is a nice plus. He is patient and always explains what and why. He also shares instant photos on his flat screen of how your teeth look and what he will do. I would recommend Dr. Rhee highly. My whole family is attended to by him. He always has the food channel on when you are being worked on, another plus. read more

I was a patient of Dr. Rhee for several years before moving out of state, and have always been very happy with his service. He's a practical and intelligent dentist. On those occasions I've needed emergency dental service over the years, the office was quick to accommodate me. I strongly recommend this practice. read more

First of all, the dentist was very competent and reliable, as well as his staff. Their scheduling and reminder system along with high-end facility cannot be better. Appreciate for their professional practice in every aspects as dental clinic. I'd strongly recommend their service. read more

I was looking for a new dentist and found Dr. Rhee's great reviews all over the internet, so I decided to give him a try. So glad I did. The office is clean, modern, and friendly. Ample parking in the back lot, and I didn't have to wait. I felt that Dr. Rhee took time with me and was very nice. He checked my file prior to coming near me which is something my other dentist failed to do which lead to an allergic reaction. It's the little things that count. I'm recommending him to friends and family and look forward to a long term relationship at Dr. Rhee's! read more

Dr. Rhee is fantastic. A colleague had recommended me to him after I moved to the area. I've been a patient of his for the last 5 years and highly recommend him. He is always on time, does the cleaning himself (imagine that! a dentist who spends that much time with you personally), remembers the prior conversations, and has the latest technologies. The office is clean, modern, and never crowded. A really friendly and genuine person who is good at what he does. read more

We used to go to another dentist who i will not name. He was always ready to pull, drill, root canal...anything that was excessive and costly. While Dr. Rhee isn't cheap. He is fair and honest. He isn't going to push for a root canal when he feels he can save a tooth for a few years with a filling. He doesn't jump to the most extreme treatment as the last dentist we went to did. His staff will tell you upfront what your costs are. They have no hidden agendas. I'm so happy to have found this office. Now everyone in my home are patients of this office. read more

Dr. John Rhee, DDS was recommended to me by a co-worker when I moved to Essex County, NJ. Dr. Rhee is very thorough and honest. He is the best dentist that I have ever seen. Although I have moved out of the area I will continue to be a patient of Dr. Rhee. read more

Best doctor and staff I ever met ! Yes i did my research befor i visit doctors to find best in town and the whole experience was exceptional ! Nurses are friendly and tells you exactly whats gonna happen each every move, with great attitude. I didnt wait much long for doctor, he is pretty fast handed and know what he's doing. He doesnt recommend unnecessary treatment, doesnt push to sell any product. Instead, i walked out of office with goodie bags. Aw, I went in for check up, thought I had cavity, but no it turns out, I just brush my tooth too hard, one tooth were jusy worn out . And did necessary treatment to it, got done in 40 min ! read more

I am a new patient of Dr. Rhee and have only great things to say. I got an evening appt. with no problem, the office is beautiful, staff was very pleasant, and Dr. Rhee was very professional and took the time to explain things to me. I am definitely planning to return in 6 months! read more

Amazing office and every one is so friendly. Dr. Rhee and staffs are the fantastic. My wife love visit this place. She is very nervous to visit dental office. Now she is very relaxed and convenience to this place, because Dr. Rhee is very professional and nice man. I highly recommend this place. read more

Dr. Rhee is super friendly, courteous, and thorough. The office is clean and seems very up-to-date equipment-wise. There was no wait time at all, and the staff was extremely helpful figuring out insurance and payment information. Highly recommended to anyone in the area. read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! Dr. Rhee is no good. If you need to have a root canal done, go to a reputable Endodontist. I had a root canal done on one tooth back in 2012 and a cleaning. Because of him and his awful cleaning technique, I have been so traumatized that it took me 4 yrs to trust another DDS to get a checkup/cleaning. So, his cleaning consisted of 12 shots (at least). He basically gave me a shot every inch or so along the top and bottom row of my teeth. That in itself was so painful, I nearly lost it. I had no idea this was his protocol and asked why it was necessary afterwards and was told that the cleaning hurts sometimes. Well, all prior cleanings with other offices consisted of some blood when spitting. His did not. And the cleaning didn't take long at all. Makes me wonder if he did a thorough job at all. The worst part of this is after my recent visit with my NEW DDS. I was told that the root canal (which Dr. Rhee had given me) was not properly done and that I had an abscess in both the roots of the tooth (a molar). So I was given two options - redo the root canal which now has a 70% success rate or pull it and get an implant. I was at a loss for words. So today, I went to an endodontist whom I was referred to by my DDS and he was wonderful. He showed me pictures of the tooth and explained why the root canal failed. So that's confirmation by two doctors that my root canal was poorly done. I plan on having it redone which will cost me at least grand through insurance. So with my experience and review, please do yourself a favor and save yourself time and money by going to someone else. Unfortunately there are a lot of quacks out there so be careful!! And the new hygienist that did my cleaning gave me no shots. The cleaning itself did not hurt like the 12 shots I was given by Dr. Rhee and she took her time and did such a thorough job that I had some blood when I rinsed my mouth. Very happy with my new DDS and Endodontist. And getting over the traumatizing experience with Dr. Rhee. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Rhee for several years. He is highly professional and efficient in his work. He has taken excellent care of my teeth over the years. He has a great staff, always helpful and pleasant. An important outcome from going to any doctor is having confidence in their skill and trust in his/her advice for what is BEST for you and your situation. This gives the patient-peace of mind. His office is state of the art, comfortable for the patient. He has my recommendation for anyone searching for excellent dental care. read more
