    My family has been going to Dr Miao and Dr Chow for almost a decade. My three children and my…read morehusband have all had braces from Dr Miao, and my oldest just finally graduated out of Dr Chow's care. They are both amazing dentists and are so kind and willing to work with us to schedule. One time Dr Chow even called on a Saturday to check up on my son after a filling he had the day prior. The convenience of having your primary dentist and orthodontist in the same building can't be overstated. I would highly recommend Dr Miao and Dr Chow!

None of them took my daughter as a patient. As a desperate parent seeking other options to prevent my daughter from having to get jaw surgery. I came across Dr. Miao. Dr. Miao was so kind and patient with my daughter's condition. He studied my daughter's case and came up with a treatment plan for my daughter's teeth in hope to prevent her from having to do jaw surgery. Fast forward to today, my daughter's teeth have been corrected and Dr. Miao completely saved her from needing to have jaw surgery to correct her underbite. I can't thank Dr. Miao enough for his kindness and patience with my daughter. Not to mentioned that my daughter loves Dr. Miao and calls him the GAOT of orthodontist. I am forever grateful to Dr. Miao and his team!

    Avoid Claremont Smile Design! They are associated with Ecco Dental in Glendora - Unprofessional…read moreStaff, Outrageous Pricing, and Dishonest Practices I do not recommend Ecco Dental to anyone seeking ethical, transparent, or professional dental care. My recent experience trying to get care for my son has been beyond frustrating and deeply concerning. My son is in pain and needs his wisdom teeth removed. I spoke to Silvia, the office manager, who assured me she would contact our insurance and provide an estimate. Days later, she emailed me a quote that raised red flags. When I checked the exact procedure codes on my insurance company's website, I discovered she was charging the full 70%--which is what insurance is supposed to pay--directly to me, the patient. This made it seem like they were billing both me and the insurance the same amount, potentially engaging in double-dipping. When I called the Glendora office to get clarity, the staff said I had to speak with Silvia. She wasn't in, but the front desk casually explained that "this is just the price we feel like charging," and if insurance pays more, they'll refund the patient. That's not how transparent billing or honest medical practice should work. I tried contacting Silvia again, this time at their Claremont Smiles office. Not only was she evasive, but when asked to explain the pricing, she suddenly claimed she needed to speak to the regional manager, Ariana. I reminded her that she is the office manager--yet she couldn't answer a basic question and delayed the conversation for another week. When she finally responded via email, she said my son needed to come in person for an estimate--over a week after I originally reached out and after acknowledging my son's pain. I asked to see the billing breakdown from my husband's previous oral surgery (also done at this office) to compare. My husband was sitting next to me and verbally authorized Silvia to speak to me. She refused to proceed unless he repeated a very specific sentence she demanded, even though I had already explained the request clearly. Once again, she deflected responsibility to Ariana, and when I asked for Ariana's contact information, Silvia hung up on me. The lack of professionalism, the runaround, and the shady billing practices are unacceptable. I will be reporting Ecco Dental to my insurance company. Patients deserve honest communication and ethical care--not to be misled or dismissed when they're trying to help their child in pain. Steer clear of Ecco Dental & Claremont Smile Design. You deserve better.

From the moment I walk in the customer services is top-notch. The staff is friendly, welcoming, and genuinely cares about making your experience smooth as possible. Dr. Jaquez is absolutely amazing. He has a calming presence and always takes the time to explain everything in detail, making sure I feel comfortable and well informed about my treatment. I always leave confident that my teeth are in great hands. One thing I always appreciate how accommodating they are when it comes to insurance and pricing. I appreciate the discounts they offer which makes a huge difference for me and my family. It's clear they care about making quality dental care affortable and accesible. They've helped me undestand my insurance options and always been transparent about costs, which gives me a peace of mind. What's even more impressive is how great they are with kids. I bring my younger children to Claremont Smile Design and they absolutely love it! The staff and Dr.Jaquez have a way of making the entire experience fun and stress-free for them. Overall, I couldn't ask for a better dental office. Excellent care, great staff and a welcoming environment make every visit a positive experience.

I went in for a routine cleaning, as I have done for many years. I had some sensitivity and the hygienist went to check if Fluoride was covered by my insurance. She came back and said "yes it is" and proceeded with the rest of the treatment. I walked out happy. A few months later, I received a bill for $190, of which my insurance paid $99. All previous visits had been covered 100%, with no copay necessary. I am now being asked to pay the remaining balance. At no time was I informed there would be a copay for services. Not before, during, or after treatment. There was no communication, only an expectation for payment through a letter in the mail. This practice is unethical. Calling their office yielded no results. I will be looking for a new dentist who will communicate cost of services to their patients.

I was a little apprehensive. He kept the numbing gel in my mouth for a very long time. After many shots. I was able to rest. The best of this visit is they see the patient very nervous so they put on something they think they would enjoy. So I got to watch cake boss on Tubi. Made me very happy that they would go into great detail from my comfort level. As the oral surgery was happening. The Dr and the team gave me such uplifting words. That just lowered my shoulders, and I got to relax as much as possible. They put on special glasses as you could fall asleep if you need it to be. Thank you for the care you gave me. Thank you again for raising me up and making me comfortable with the kindest words.

Instead, a different dentist advised that the crown did not fit and stated she would not continue treatment because another dentist had prepared the tooth. * June 21, 2026: The original dentist informed me the crown could not be used and that the procedure would have to be repeated. I left wearing the temporary crown. * June 26, 2026: I received a call informing me that my appointment had been canceled because the dentist did not want to treat me and that I would need to wait for the original dentist. After contacting the office and requesting that any qualified dentist complete my treatment, I was eventually seen. My tooth was re-prepared, and new impressions were taken. * June 28, 2026: My next appointment was rescheduled because the original dentist was unavailable. * July 10, 2026: My appointment was canceled again because the dentist was sick. * July 12, 2026: When attempting to keep my appointment, the scheduler initially told me she did not want to schedule me because the treating dentist might refuse to place the crown since he had not prepared the tooth. I insisted on keeping my appointment despite being told there was a possibility I would not receive my crown. Fortunately, the dentist evaluated the case and successfully placed the permanent crown that day.
