Every time I walk in, I feel genuinely cared for, and every time I leave, my teeth feel incredibly clean. Tu has completely changed the way I think about dental care. She takes the time to explain everything about my gums and oral health, making me feel comfortable and informed instead of overwhelmed. She's so gentle but thorough, and I can really tell how much she cares about her patients. My gums have improved so much since seeing her, and I've noticed a huge difference in how healthy and clean my teeth feel after every visit. Dr. Kamalavich himself is also fantastic!! he runs a practice that feels welcoming, professional, and organized. The entire team is friendly, and the atmosphere is so positive that I actually look forward to my appointments (something I never thought I'd say about the dentist!). I truly love this place. It's rare to find a dental office that feels like home, but that's exactly what this one does for me. Thank you to Dr. Kamalavich and Tu for always going above and beyond I couldn't recommend them more! Thank you guys so much!!! :)

Everything feels organized and calm, which makes a big difference for dental procedures. Dr. Salib is exceptionally professional and clearly an expert at what he does, but what really stands out is his amazing bedside manner. He explains everything clearly, takes his time, and has a way of putting you completely at ease -- which is incredibly comforting, especially when you're going through something like dental implants. It's rare to find a specialist who combines technical excellence with such a reassuring, patient-centered approach. I felt confident and well cared for every step of the process. Highly recommend Dr. Salib if you're looking for an oral surgeon you can truly trust.

Not to forget the courtesy call from Dr Salib the evening of my procedure. Top notch dental team.

On my last visit, I was so anxious that before we even got started, Dr. Mostofi took the time to sit with me, talk me through my fears, and make me feel genuinely supported. That alone set him apart. During the procedure, the vibration from the drill became too overwhelming, and I stopped him -- not once, not twice, but eight times. Every single time, without a hint of frustration, he stopped, checked in with me, and waited until I was ready to continue at my own pace. His patience and compassion were extraordinary. By the eighth stop, rather than pushing through, he came up with a thoughtful plan: he rescheduled my appointment, prescribed Valium to help me relax the night before and the morning of the procedure, and suggested I swap my regular AirPods for noise-canceling headphones to block out the sounds that were triggering my anxiety. The difference was night and day. When I came back, we got through the entire procedure smoothly and comfortably. I left that chair feeling proud of myself -- and that's entirely because of the care and creativity Dr. Mostofi brought to my situation. The office staff deserves just as much praise. They are warm, welcoming, and always ready to help with a genuine smile. I cannot recommend this office highly enough. If you've ever avoided the dentist out of fear or anxiety, Dr. Mostofi is exactly the doctor you've been looking for. He doesn't just treat your teeth -- he takes care of you as a whole person.

The tooth had caused repeated inflammation, and a highly-rated oral surgeon in Orange County declined to take the case due to the high risk involved. Dr. Nguyen carefully showed us the imaging on the screen and explained that the safest approach would be to section the tooth and remove it in parts, although there was a possibility that the entire tooth could be removed depending on the surgical conditions. His explanation was clear, detailed, and reassuring -- like a professor discussing a complex case in a medical school setting. The surgery went smoothly, and remarkably, he was able to extract the entire tooth without disturbing the main nerve in the lower jaw. This outcome truly feels like a miracle to us. We are deeply grateful to Dr. Nguyen and will remember his skill and dedication for the rest of our lives.

They worked aggressively with my insurance company to help me achieve minimum out-of-pocket payout, and worked with me on the rest of the pricing and scheduling details. They worked with me tirelessly ahead of my oral surgery and are always EXTREMELY prompt in responding to post-surgery questions, even accomodating a last minute follow-up schedule change. Dr. Nguyen is professional, pragmatic, and no-nonsense. Unlike the other oral surgeons I consulted with, he didn't try and add on gimicky unnecessary procedures. I'm so happy with Dr. Nguyen and my outcome!!

While this is a lengthy review. If you feel your dental care and the costs are important to you,…read morethen I recommend you read the entire thing. This is probably my fourth glowing review for Aliso Creek Dental. I have severe leukemia with spinal cord and neurologic impairments that cause me so much more time to accommodate my dental care without causing intense spinal and and nerve pain in my neck. The dental care is painless. The dental technicians, especially the Sheba, who, I have known the longest, is cheerful and very accommodating. She even remembers things about me and my son from visits a year prior. That is a personal and professional relationship. Transferring me from the wheelchair to the dental chair, and making me comfortable during procedures, allows me to tolerate the consultations and treatments comfortably. What is particularly gracious is that the dentist and staff go out of their way, even to the extent of straining their own backs to accommodate my position in the chair due to leukemia and a severe spinal cord injury. Everyone shows empathy that far greater than the dentists I have seen for over 50 years. I also had the honor and pleasure to have a new dentist associate provide my care. Her name is Ava Manoochen, DDS. Hopefully I spelled her name correctly. I have never had a female dentist before. Now, I prefer one. She greeted me with the most beautiful awe striking smile and her work was flawless and done with consideration to my disability. Even having to twist her back and possibly step on her toes to reach where I could not move. The staff constantly ask how you are doing or if you need a break. With my multiple disabilities, I should ask them the same question. Of course, Sheba, a long time dental assistant, treats me like a relative and not a patient. She knows how to help and does everything to make me comfortable. Everyone's kindness and compassion is real and not rehearsed. It also helps that Aliso Creek Dental has all specialties available in the office. Including a periodontist and oral surgeon. I had an abscessed tooth a few years ago. The periodontist, opened and drained the abscess and did a painless root canal procedure that immediately solved the infection and pain. All on the same day my general dentist at the practice called for the consultation due to my severe pain and risk of sepsis due to my leukemia. I was surprised when my bill was so low. Dentists may seem overpaid. But in reality, the overhead costs make a dental practice nearly impossible to be profitable. Especially when the dental insurance reimbursement is so low and hasn't changed in over 20 years. I am a retired doctor and understand how difficult it is to survive. Especially for new dentists who have to pay off student loans and are forced to work in dental mills and pushed to do unneeded work to receive performance bonuses just to survive. My friends, venture capitalists are buying up medical, dental and veterinary practices and treating the doctors like servants and removing all of their autonomy to provide good and only necessary care. Fortunately, Aliso Creek Dental is privately owned and operated by a dentist couple for several years. I have been a patient of Aliso Creek Dental for many years. They have never recommended dental work that was unnecessary. They do not inflate their fees or attempt to upsell you dental work you don't need for their financial gain. I appreciate them accommodating my appointments on days have the strength to get out of bed. In the past I have needed to cancel appointments due to weakness and severe pain. They never charge me a cancellation fee and never get upset at me for cancelling and disrupting their schedule. The appointment time is the real appointment time. I have never had to wait. When I arrive I am taken back immediately. Behind every well operated business is the owner who deserves special mention. Dr. Mona Saati ( I hope the spelling is correct), is an owner who is personally involved in every aspect of the practice. She is a servant leader and not a ruler. A servant centered leader inspires associates to follow her lead and the associates are happy to do so. A ruler forces the employees to follow strict rules and shows no grace. Her sort of servant centered leader creates happy employees who share their happiness with patients. I was a doctor who had over 250 employees and 555 elderly residents and patients needing different levels of care. Helping residents, patients and their families be happy and satisfied with care requires employees who are served by their leader and not ruled. They pass this service mentality to their patients. This the story of Aliso Creek Dental that I am honored to tell. Bless you all for your service to the community. With gratitude, Dr. Steven Ross

Dr Teagan has never upselled me on any services rather the opposite. Yesterday he reviewed some potential issues in my mouth and told me exactly what he did a year ago "I am watching the corners of these filings to see if and when they will need replacement. There is no rush we will just monitor the situation. Saul there is no danger here" Few dentists that I know will not upsell you. That's why I believe firmly the Dr Teagan is the best.
