    Dr. Chen and Dr. Julia are great! They really make you feel at home and are vary caring towards their patients. Dr. Julia actually went through my husbands medications (post transplant) with me and is going to confer with my husband's Primary Doctor about pre-medication. Most dentists or doctors won't go this extra step, when in doubt they just medicate without asking if it is really necessary. I for one don't like taking more antibiotics than necessary, so when Dr. Julia voluntarily asked to call my husband's Primary I was all for it. Dr. Julia and Dr. Chen are very conscientious. Their other staff members are also great. Everyone is always smiling and asking,"How you are doing?" Autumn, their Office Manager/Receptionist always greets you with a smile and asks if you want some tea. Besides their great customer service and conscientious work ethic, their office is always clean. Getting my teeth cleaned by Dr. Julia is always a breeze. She is very gentle and lets you know what she is going to do. I never drag my feet about going to the dentist anymore. I also love the goodies bag they give you after each visit. The sample size floss is perfect for carrying in your purse. Good thing Dr. Julia is younger than me because I plan on seeing her until I am old a decrepit.

    As much as I've moved around I've never been able to find a dentist I like as much as those in California. It's now to the point that I just wait to get my teeth cleaned when I come home for a visit. Dr. Chen is a fabulous dentist and has really kept up with the latest and greatest in dentistry throughout the years. However, his daughter, Dr. Julia, is my dentist and has been providing me care since 2007 - back when she was in dental school! I love having a dentist who listens to my concerns, explains everything step-by-step and is gentile in the way she handles my teeth and mouth. Dr. Julia really is awesome. The practice moved to its current location about two years ago and is very well kept. The space doesn't look like much since it's in a strip mall but the space inside is large and clean. If your GPS routes you to the wrong side of the highway, just look for the CVS, the office is right beside it.

    One year post op: I was warned that some gum might grow back and in all honesty I didn't continue…read moreto brush toward the gum with the special brush as I was instructed. But... The gum stayed put! I still don't have a gummy smile even at my highest smile. I don't feel self conscious when I smile any more. I finally finished my aligners just in time to get married. This surgery was an absolute blessing and I didn't have to think twice about my smile in front of our guests and the cameras. I am so grateful to Dr Gaffaney for what he's done for me! He's an amazing human being and a skilled surgeon.

    Dr. Gaffaney is unprofessional and rude, likely misogynistic. I went for a consultation for a…read moreprocedure that was not familiar to me (though I do have experience with oral anatomy and structures due to my profession) and that seemed complex/intimidating so I had a lot of questions for the doctor. It's clear this man is not accustomed to being questioned because he met my questions with sarcasm/mockery and gaslighting, at one point telling me to "stop asking so many questions. I don't have time to give a full anatomy lesson to you!" And "There you go again.....more questions..." I don't care if any of this was said in jest; this is not appropriate care or bedside manner at all. His ego clearly operates at the forefront and he doesn't like that a woman had knowledge of the oral mechanism and has very specific questions. In terms of the office experience, the office is fine if it were 1983. Not a place I would want to receive oral surgery for concerns of cleanliness and lack of use of new tools, etc. Everything looked archaic down to the fans in the room. The front desk woman, who I think is his wife named Carrie, was polite if you don't cross her. But I had concerns with a bill received and then she was very rude and defensive on the phone- not answering my questions and dodging the point of my call. They did not inform me of the cost or the name of the consultation service that I received that day (which was actually an eval) and thus did not tell me they would be billing insurance or for how much. While I have dental insurance, I like to know what is being done and appreciate up front and honest care. I instead went to see Dr. Scheines in Cerritos for my gingival graft and she took over 40 minutes answering my questions alone and explaining the process of the procedure to me. Her office also gave a complete breakdown on paper of the cost of the evaluation, plus the cost of surgery, and what insurance would cover. I highly recommend her care and her renovated office feels clean and modern!

    I have been looking for a new dentist after not being satisfied with my former dentist office. I…read morewish I found this office sooner. Everyone is very nice and helpful. The office itself is clean and they use very current equipment and technology. Dr. Kanemaki was very good at giving me options for my care. Even told me things my previous dentist didn't tell me. My wife saw -a different dentist but also said her experience went very well. I highly recommend Dental Care 32 to be your dental office you go to. Parking is in the lot directly across the street in the moose lodge or on the street.

The representative was incredibly kind, professional, and patient, taking the time to answer all my questions--even though I wasn't yet a patient. This genuine act of kindness and service set this dental office apart from the very beginning, making me proud to call it my dentist. Parking is also a breeze, with plenty of spots available across the street at the Moose Lounge parking lot--having over 30 spaces is definitely a plus! I was originally referred here by my brother Gus years ago when it was still called Hitomi Dentistry. After Dr. Hitomi's passing, the practice became Dental Care 32, and the high standard of care has remained consistent. From my first visit to every appointment since, great service, professionalism, and warmth have been exceptional. I used to dread dental and doctor appointments due to past traumatic experiences elsewhere, but here, I genuinely look forward to my visits. The entire staff is welcoming, professional, and incredibly skilled. The front desk team treats everyone with kindness and respect, which is refreshing to see. I want to recognize the wonderful team members I've had the pleasure of meeting, including Arely, Anna, Maria, Brenda, Serena, Olivia, Dr. Kanemaki, and many more who deserve acknowledgment. Dr. Trent Kanemaki, Serena, Olivia, Anna, and the rest of the team provide thorough, gentle care, checking in with me throughout the process and explaining everything clearly. Their work is both efficient and high-quality. The office itself is spotless--from the waiting room to the gender-neutral, single-use restroom to the dental chairs--featuring a modern, beautifully decorated, and well-organized space that feels welcoming. The seating options are comfortable for both adults and children, adding to the thoughtful environment. This is truly the best dental office I have ever been to, and I highly recommend Dental Care 32 to anyone looking for top-notch dental care.

    Lupe and Mike were helpful in getting my ortho treatment restarted after years of having my braces…read moreremoved from another orthodontist in Los Angeles. I'm 31 now, but have noticed my bite has since shifted from when I first completed ortho treatment as a teenager. They, along with Dr. Dang, recommended several options, some more invasive than others, and presented them in such detail that allowed me to make a comfortable and informed decision on my own. I'm happy to have found an ortho office not only close to home, but that has friendly and competent employees that care about their work. Oh, and not to mention the equipment is state-of-the-art and modern, unlike any other dental office I've been to, which is an added plus!

    Amazing dentists office. Good facilities and high quality care. They also offer amenities as well,…read moresuch as free chapstick, water, toothpaste, etc. which definitely adds to their "spa" title. Went in today to have a consultation about my concerns of my top teeth having uneven ridges. When I got braces earlier in my life, the bottom bracket grind my top front tooth uneven and it bothered me for years. I thought composite bonding would be the best solution. Dr. Lee instead recommended shaving down the teeth for more reliable and easier solution that achieved more long term results (composite could chip or yellow over time). I agreed to shave down 6 teeth for a balanced result, which I was happy with because my super sharp canines had also been bothering me. They worked with me financially and offered a good discount to make sure I did all the teeth together for the best result. They always go over pricing and are very transparent before any type of treatment, which is very appreciated. Dr. Lee cared about my opinion and even asked if I had preference for the tooth shape. I'm very very pleased with the result. They run a great office here. If your insurance is accepted here, look nowhere else!
