    Dr. Joseph Mina Atalla
    Mira R.

    After trying so many dentists, I am so grateful and blessed to have Dr. Joseph work on my teeth and my all family's teeth. He has the best loving, caring and mainly super professional personality. He makes you feel like home. His clinic has it all... an in house lab that includes full porcelain lab, milling machines and highest end ovens and staining kits to match natural teeth color. He has a surgery room and root canal room with surgical microscope. I can say he has the highest end equipment in town. I highly recommend him. I just had my crown done with zero pain. Sara and Nardine are the wonderful office team that makes you feel like home. Oops I forgot to mention that his office has the best view of Orange County equipped with newest tvs and movies. I highly recommend Dr. Joseph Mina Atalla.

    Just some of my attempts (& attempts from specialists) to ease the horrific round-the-clock pain caused by this dentist's failed dental work
    Randa Z.

    JM Dental caused me EXCRUCIATING, NON-STOP PAIN for WEEKS & left me feeling robbed. - Had a straightforward crown put in preventatively at their insistence (I'd never had any discomfort with that tooth) - Crown fell out within a few months, to my surprise. Had it recemented - Just 1.5 months later it FELL OUT YET AGAIN (didn't eat anything chewy/crunchy) - Dr. Joseph originally said he'd replace the crown, but then insisted on just recementing it again (said he'd now wait until the FOURTH time it needed to be put in). * Please note it isn't normal for a crown to be falling out so many times & a dentist to be so nonchalant about it.* - This third time he put it in, it was done so poorly that I immediately told him it didn't feel right & was way too high - He tried to slightly fix it (I made sure never to rush him). I told him it was still very uncomfortable, he said he would fix it more "next time" - I called a few days later on a Friday, soon after pain started. Didn't receive a call back as promised, but when my bf reached the Dr, he told us the pain was normal. - I said the pain was even waking me up at night, but Dr. Joseph stressed it was probably normal & to wait for my next appt - I asked what to do if pain got worse, instead of better (I thought he'd tell me to come in), but he repeated, "you just have to wait until your follow up appointment in 3 weeks" Come Monday I was waking up in the middle of the night SOBBING from the pain. I called JM Dental in tears to explain the situation & that I wanted to speak to the dentist. The receptionist said she'd have the dentist call me back. I never ONCE heard back from them again. - It took a number of other dentists & specialists (an orthodontist & two endodontists) to all just confirm there were significant problems with crown - Some problems mentioned were obvious high points, improper prep (this is what kept causing it to fall out over & over again), & crown being so thin it was expected to break soon anyway! - Specialists tried to help by reshaping crown, but the damage to ligaments was already done - Was recommended to try to wait to see if injuries from JM Dental would heal (I had a sprained tooth, which I didn't know was a thing!). I tried everything to manage the debilitating pain for weeks & nothing really helped (see photo). - Had to set alarms every 1-2 hours while sleeping so I could take more painkillers before pain got too out of control - Could only eat puréed food/soups/baby food for weeks & lost weight - Was the WORST PAIN I've ever experienced (& I've been run over by a truck, so that's saying something) - Was exhausted & literally couldn't focus on anything but pain management. My work/personal responsibilities had to be put on hold for weeks I understand healthcare workers make mistakes, they're only human, but his response (or lack thereof) spoke volumes. I was encouraged by other dentists to get a full refund since I had to redo the work within just 6-8 months (even Dr. Joseph had told me a crown is only successful if it lasts for 5 years). When I reached out to him, he gave me nothing but nonsensical excuses. He insisted he do the work himself, but that's all he would offer. I explained that after so many failed attempts & so much pain, I didn't feel comfortable getting additional work done from him. He would not even CONSIDER refunding me my money for the failed crown so I could get it fixed elsewhere. He made me feel like I owed him unlimited tries to get it right, but I couldn't put my body through that anymore. When I couldn't take it another day I had to borrow money so I could finally have ANOTHER dentist remove the crown that JM Dental put in & replace it with a new one. The relief was almost instantaneous & I haven't felt that awful pain since! (I'm still dealing with other issues caused by Dr. Joseph's work though). I really wanted to like JM Dental & even recommended them to others at first because they seemed nice. But a lot of their "pros" were actually red flags. Their conservative approach/minimal prep can cause their work to fail REPEATEDLY. I thought their unusually high number of follow-ups (for procedures that traditionally take 1-2 visits) was good customer service, but are more opportunities for something to go wrong. They're big on preventive work, but dentists later told me that the vast amount of expensive dental work JM Dental urged was simply unnecessary. There are many other skilled local dentists. There's NO reason to risk your health, well-being & bank account by coming here. I waited a couple of months to post this in hopes they'd have a change of heart & right their wrongs- but they never once reached out even though they were FULLY aware of what they put me through. This was disheartening. I practically NEVER write negative reviews, but if I can prevent even one person from undergoing the misery this dentist caused me then it's worth it. PLEASE DON'T COME HERE. It could be a NIGHTMARE.

    The reception area of Dr. Atalla is beautiful and neat

    JM dental and Dr. Atalla are excellent and very professional. The dental office is clean, organized and is equipped with top dental equipment. Great Tv's with entertainment that makes you forget any discomfort and the time flies by. Highly recommended.

From my initial intake meeting, getting my prescriptions and directives, going under, and the aftercare, he went above and beyond my high expectations. Dr. Yoshikane and his staff were personable, knowledgable, and easy to talk to from the start. I immediately felt comfortable during a very uneasy and fear induced and anxiety ridden time for me. I had previously gotten my first two wisdom teeth removed over thirty years ago, and the experience was so horrible that I had put off getting the last two out this long. Dr. Yoshikane answered all of my questions and explained the plan and extra plans in the event the first plans weren't working for me after the removal. After the procedure I was under constant watch and care by Dr. Yoshikane through phone messages with my husband. He contacted us for the first three days even going as far as to check on me at midnight the first day of the surgery. Seriously! My husband was impressed with the level of concern and questions that Dr. Yoshikane asked him, because it truly showed he cared about his patient's wellbeing, and wasn't just jumping through a hoop. I just left my after care appointment and everything is going great! My surgical areas are closed, the medications are all working in tandem without residual pain from the surgery. My swelling is minimal, and I get my stitches out in two weeks. I can't thank Dr. Yoshikane and his team of professionals enough for making an anxiety ridden experience into a positive one. I would 100% refer my friends and family members to Dr. Yoshikane for any dental surgery needs.

Each staff member has been gentle and kind(yes I'm a big baby!), but they have earned my trust. Thank you, Dr. Yoshikane and staff.
