    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.

    Where do I even begin ? I cannot recommend Dr. Gire and his incredible team highly enough!…read more From my very first appointment to the completion of my treatment, I always felt welcomed, supported, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Gire and his entire team are not only highly skilled and knowledgeable, but they also take the time to explain every step of the process, answer questions with patience, and ensure that all patients feel comfortable and confident throughout their treatment. One thing that truly stood out to me was how understanding and accommodating the entire team was of my schedule. As someone balancing a full-time career while attending graduate school, finding appointment times was not always easy. They consistently worked with my schedule and went above and beyond to make sure I could stay on track with my treatment. That level of flexibility and consideration meant so much to me and made what could have been a stressful process feel incredibly manageable. Every member of the office is kind, professional, and genuinely invested in providing the best possible experience. They create such a welcoming and inclusive environment, and it is clear that they truly care about their patients and the community, not just their smiles, but their overall experience as well. I am beyond grateful for all of the guidance, care, encouragement, and support I received throughout my entire orthodontic journey. I absolutely love my results, but what I will remember most is the compassion, dedication, and genuine kindness that Dr. Gire and the team showed every step of the way. Thank you, Dr. Gire and your wonderful team, for making my orthodontic journey such a positive and memorable experience. I am truly grateful for your care, guidance every step of the way. Thank you for all that you do each and every day to help your patients smile with confidence.I cannot recommend your practice highly enough!

    war is never a good thing, being stuck between two parties especially when you didnt ask for it…read morethan you end up the only one suffering the consequences is never a good thing. In fact, it makes you angry. thats how i feel and have been feeling ever since i got braces from this despicable "dentist". hes so bad he should be stripped of his license than again i dont think he even has one because who would give him one with the way he does things (his skills his technique his MENTALITY) first of all, hes cheap. braces (any dental work) should not be cheap. hes cheap for a reason. he doesnt care about his patients. i hate to judge but you could tell he doesnt care about anything the way he maintains or doesn't maintain himself and his practice. with that being said, i got braces (yes the metal kind not invisalign) when i was in high school i dont know the exact year all i know is i had it removed by the time i was 19 (im 41 now). i had to get it because apparently i had bad teeth but i didnt i just had one upper left teeth that grew inward (snaggletooth) everything else was fine yet i had to get braces so i got braces. looking back now, i wondered why i had to get braces on my bottom row of teeth as well??? there was nothing wrong with my bottom row of teeth, the snaggletooth was on my top row of teeth. i know you dont have to get top and bottom row of braces unless your teeth is in bad condition like you have an overbite or something yet i didnt have an overbite so why did i get top and bottom row of braces. its weird. thats the unprofessionalism i was talking about, he just doesnt care (probably because hes cheap so whatever mentality). you're better off going elsewhere. i recommend invisalign if you could afford it especially if your teeth isnt in bad condition. As a society we focus too much on outer (outter???) appearance especially our teeth yet I could care less as long as your teeth is clean (white) and you don't have any gum problems or speech problems (than again you shouldn't be going to the dentist for speech problems) besides there's more pressing issues to worry about in life than teeth which is essentially calcium. Teeth is a rich white people problem anyways. If you can't afford the good stuff, don't get it. Simple. You get what you pay for. Nobody cares about your teeth (Japan would think im kawaii) where I'm at because their teeth has all fallen out. Thank you betel nut.

Here is my TL;DR for this ortho office: OLD, DIRTY, UNSANITARY, LONGGGGG WAIT, BAD SERVICE, DENTIST THAT DOESNT CARE ABOUT YOU, AND INCOMPETENT STAFF. Ok I hope everyone who is debating whether to listen to all these bad reviews BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. THEY ARE ALL TRUE. I made the biggest mistake to not believe these reviews and to solely rely on a friend's recommendation. I should've seen all the red flags when I went there for consultation. I was stupid and I regret it every moment. I will write a longer review when I'm done (god knows when). It's been over two years and I still don't know when will it all end. I hate this place. With passion.

She checked in by greeting…read morethe front desk staffs, writing her name on the sign-in sheet, and waiting to be called. She was never called back. By 4:45 pm, my daughter texted me to let me know that she's still waiting to be called in so i came inside to check what was going on and at that point, the receptionist stated she thought my daughter was "waiting for someone," which was confusing and concerning. If patients are required to sign in, it is reasonable to expect that the sign-in sheet is actively reviewed. Otherwise, the purpose of having patients sign in is unclear. My daughter even told me that one of the receptionist with blond hair acknowledged her when she waved hello and signed in her name so I don't understand why the other receptionist twisted things around saying they didn't know my daughter was there for her appointment and requested us to reschedule to another day. I took time off work and pulled my daughter out of school early for this appointment, only for our time to be wasted and the blame shifted onto a minor who had properly checked in. Extremely unprofessional and disorganized. We will not be returning.

At my previous dental office, I never had to pay anything out of pocket for a routine cleaning. However, the dentist here claimed I have gum inflammation and said I needed a deep cleaning that would cost $600, plus a filling for another $600. The staff also offered to check something (I can't remember what it was) and said it was free, but afterward, someone else came in and tried to charge me $25 for it. When I told her I had been told it was free, she said it would be waived. I just wanted a regular cleaning that would be fully covered by my insurance, but they tried to charge me over $1,000 for additional procedures. I was here for 1.5 hours and didn't even get my teeth cleaned. They just kept examining me and trying to sell me treatments I don't need. It's a waste of time. Stay away from this place. I would not recommend it to anyone.
