I have been seeing Dr. Chu for over a decade and had no plans to stop, but this past scheduling…read moreexperience has turned me off. Usually I come in every 6 months and I fill out a reminder card which is usually sent to me ahead of my next appointment. But the past few times I have not received a card in the mail so when my appointment is due I'm not able to plan for it. Edna usually does the scheduling and working with her has gotten progressively difficult. Usually she can put me on a waiting list and call a day before to confirm, but this time she said I had to call to confirm. This is fine but I questioned why she couldn't call as usual, and she just gave a non-answer ending with "whatever". I couldn't believe the disrespect! Edna has never apologized for the inconvenience (even in the past), knowing that it's usually very difficult to reschedule. Appointments can be weeks to months out (there is only one hygienist left). Anyway I'll miss having Dr. Chu as my dentist but I won't tolerate anymore the attitude Edna has displayed toward me the past few years. Good luck

Let me tell you about the scam that is the Dentists Of South Pasadena as well as the HMO program in…read moregeneral. HMO Dental facilities are paid a certain amount to bring in a number of patients for a cleaning. If they don't show up, they actually get paid more. If they do show up, the dentist makes no money so ever on the cleaning. So what must an HMO dentists do. Up-charge and request all these extra things - it's the only way they make money. They actually don't make any money on a routine cleaning. Which is also why their cleanings last all of 5-10 minutes. (Why work for nothing they think?) A true cleaning from a Dentist (most likely PPO unless you found a great dentist on HMO) should be at least 30 minutes long when doing a thorough job. Remember, tartar is only removed in a professional cleaning. When you come into this facility your cleaning will last 5 minutes and on top of that they most likely will say "you know, you need a deep cleaning" or some other thing to make your situation feel worse and surprisingly need additional work. This is only how they make money. Whether it is the fast & lazy cleanings or the additional unnecessary work they will tell you needs to be done. Do not trust what they say, find another Dentist office.

The wait time here is insane. Almost an hour just to get a check up where the dentist literally…read morejust stuck her fingers in my mouth and told me I was good (I wish I was joking). So don't go here if you have other things to do in the day. I haven't had many issues with the actual procedures (I really only get cleaning / deep cleaning & check ups...I don't have a lot of dental issues so I can't speak on anything more invasive). Although they definitely try to upsell on procedures you don't need (including telling me I need a deep cleaning when the same dentist literally told me when I got it done in 2025 that I won't need another one for years), and charge your insurance as much as they can. Like most people, I don't like wasting my time and I don't like being lied to. Time to find a new place.

Dr. Adrian Goei and Stacy were amazing! I chipped my tooth over the weekend and was feeling very…read moreworried and stressed about it. I reached out to Huntington Dental Excellence, and Stacy responded to my message right away and was able to get me scheduled quickly, which I really appreciated. Dr. Adrian Goei was caring, thorough, and reassuring. He took the time to answer all of my concerns and was able to fix my chipped tooth. My tooth feels completely normal again and doesn't feel chipped at all! I'm so grateful for the excellent care I received. Thank you, Dr. Adrian Goei and Stacy!

Just loved back to LA & thought I'd come back to this office. Because it's been a while I had to…read morestart over & do another consultation. No worries. They gave me a date and time with no mention of ANYTHING else, fees or any extra details. When the day came (after taking the day off of work), I come in, fill out the paperwork and the receptionist is like "oh yeah, it's gonna be $250". I would have appreciated the heads up. After setting up another date for a month later, they shoot me a text a few days before saying it's $525. WTH? So I set an appt at $250, and they text me to say they raised their prices instead of honoring the price I was given when setting the date? Just on principal from them "forgetting" to tell me of any fee to DOUBLING the fee I declined the new appointment and coming in altogether. Dr Goei is obviously getting pretty ambitious & could care less about how her greed falls on potential patients. Would be interesting in knowing how much her treatment prices have increased too. Anyway, thank god living in LA we all have TONS of options. After realizing it's a standard conventional mainstream dental office, I ended up finding way better, more knowledgeable and holistic office options. Gods rejection is his protection.

Thank you Silverlake Smiles. I hadn't been to the dentist for about 6 years! Finally decided to…read morevisit Silverlake Smiles in South Pasadena. Everyone was so welcoming and friendly and I was instantly put at ease. The office is very modern and state of the art. After 6 years I didn't need any fillings ( yaaay) just a deep clean.

From now on I will be going to Silverlake Smiles for my regular check ups. I would highly recommended this practice.

I ultimately went to another dentist in Altadena since without issues and without being upsold unneeded treatment. The two visits I had at this office, the doctor and manager pushed me to watch an advertisement on the treatment they wanted me to undergo. They were quick to bring paperwork for me to sign without telling me what I was signing up. After telling them I could not afford the treatment, they aggressively pushed me to financing. After spending $800+ for the first visit, I told them I didn't want the treatment again during the second visit and wanted a regular cleaning. The doctor's "nice" demeanor changed immediately and he pushed me towards the exit.

The staff, Janira, Jessica, Kristina, and Priya were amazing. They made me feel very comfortable being it was my first time at this location. They were prompt in starting my paperwork and prepping me for my service. I had a great time joking around with them and they embraced it. I will be coming back to this location for future services. The quality of care they gave me was outstanding and I felt secure. I was in and out in less than an hour which I loved. Note: Plenty of parking in the rear of the location.

That meant so much to us. From the moment we walked in, we felt we were in caring and capable hands. The numbing process was quick and completely painless, and Dr. Chen was so gentle and reassuring throughout the procedure. You can really feel that she cares about her patients and wants them to be comfortable. Veronica was also amazing. She was very helpful, checked our insurance right away, and made everything smooth and stress-free. The wait time was minimal, and the whole team was professional, efficient, and kind. Their fees are also very reasonable, which we truly appreciate. We are so grateful for the care and kindness we received today. It is not easy to find a dental office that combines professionalism, compassion, and excellent service like this. Highly, highly recommend Dr. Chen and the wonderful team. Thank you so much

I found out about Dr Sanchez from fellow yelper Nikki. And a fantastic recommendation!…read more Dr Sanchez is super nice, friendly, he doesn't try to add on fees or procedures like whitening. His team - front desk and hygienists are friendly and fun. Pleasant waiting room. Usually not a long wait, they run on time here. Well I'm sure as long as everyone arrives on time/ early. Easy parking out front of building on Huntington Dr or shaded parking in structure just past entrance, can't miss it. Restrooms for the building are in hallway from parking structure, you have to get the key from Dr Sanchez's front desk. Not the cleanest restroom but keep in mind it is public for all offices in building.

Mary Chess-Abelino, DDS has a very nice office and staff. She is personable and nice to interact with.
