I went to Smiles of Eastlake for a comprehensive exam and cleaning. After reviewing my X-rays, I…read morewas told I had a couple of cavities and that some of my old fillings should be replaced. I trusted their professional judgment and agreed to the recommended treatment. During the procedure, the numbing injection was incredibly painful. I've had fillings before, so I knew this didn't feel normal. I remember thinking maybe they just used a different technique, so I trusted the process and didn't question it. Looking back, I wish I had advocated for myself. Ever since that filling was completed, that tooth has been in pain. I lived with that pain for the next 2-3 months, hoping it would eventually go away. Instead, I pushed it to the back of my mind and convinced myself it would get better. When I finally flew back to the D.C. area, I went to the dentist I've trusted for the past 10 years. He took new X-rays of the painful tooth and diagnosed me with pulpitis, an inflammation of the dental pulp. He also showed me that the new filling extended beyond the previous filling. He expressed concern about whether that additional drilling was necessary. He couldn't say for certain that it wasn't, but the look on his face and our conversation were concerning to me. I'm not accusing anyone of wrongdoing. I'm simply sharing the facts. During my comprehensive exam and X-rays at Smiles of Eastlake, there was no indication of inflammation in that tooth. After the filling was done, I developed constant pain in that same tooth and was later diagnosed with pulpitis by another dentist. My biggest issue with Smiles of Eastlake was that the office felt rushed and impersonal. It felt more like a high-volume practice than one focused on individualized patient care. Once my trust was broken, I wasn't comfortable returning. This review is really about two things. First, if you choose Smiles of Eastlake, proceed with caution. Ask questions, advocate for yourself, and don't be afraid to get a second opinion if something doesn't feel right. Second, listen to your body. I ignored persistent pain for 2-3 months because I assumed it would get better. It didn't. Whether this outcome could have been prevented, I don't know, but I do know that ignoring my symptoms wasn't the right decision. I hope my experience encourages someone else to trust their instincts and seek care sooner.

After 9 years as a patient, I can honestly say Dr. Masillamoni is the real deal. Finding a dentist…read moreI actually trust is rare, and he has earned that trust every single visit. One thing that always stands out is the anesthesia. I have never once felt pain during an injection. If you have ever been afraid on the dental chair, you know exactly how much that matters. He also never rushes me out the door. He takes the time to walk me through my treatment plan so I understand what is happening and why. If you are looking for a dentist who is skilled, honest, and genuinely cares about his patients, you should consider Dr. Masillamoni.

This place is horrific. I thought i was the only person but…read morei first looked at other reviews and they do the same thing 1) they overbook their patients then they cant find any time for them as they end up being booked for the whole year!! And good luck if they drained tour insurance already for this "whole appointment evaluation" 2) they will look for all ways to drain your insurance and of course the first appointment your time will be wasted because they will say "this is only evaluation" so expect to take your annual PTO off for their highness to actually get any clean up done! Oh and good luck finding an appointment that can actually work because they close their last patient at 3. Maybe they shouldnt do business My story: I requested an appointment for cleaning ( or cavities shall they find ) they told me uh oh we are going to take the entire first appointment for just evaluation and shall you need anything you will need another appointment. I said B.S - then i said ok.. what is your available times for a second appointment because for sure i will need at least cleaning/deep cleaning. She was booked for the rest of the year and found me 1-2 appointments that absolutely dont work with my schedule. So i requested to cancel the first appointment because whats the point! That was more than 40 hours in advance. They kept saying cancellation fee $60 . Now they keep sending me the statement of $60 despite the fact thst they know!!! They are the ones that cant find any available appointments for their clients. Taking my business out of this place and fighting the $60 because if they were any respectful place they would have waived it instead of begging for a $60. Stay away. Also they do want to find all reasons to drain the hell out of your insurance and more !

He walked me through the procedure step by step and often checked in to make sure I was doing okay, which made me feel much more relaxed.

The staff in the office were also very friendly and helpful, and they explained the aftercare instructions clearly. Overall, it was a very positive experience, and I would definitely recommend Dr. Liu to anyone looking for a skilled and caring dentist.

I am writing this review to share my worst experience ever with others that have had similar or…read moredifferent bad experiences with this Dental office. To all new patients that are looking to choose Otay Lakes Dental Group for Dental Care. This bad review is regarding Dr. Quan Alex Lui. I have been a patient at this office for more than 10+ years. During that time, I had no ongoing conflicts, no unresolved issues, and i was never informed that I was considered a problematic patient. On June 17, 2026 I went to the office for a scheduled dental cleaning appointment. I checked in at the front desk and was treated respectfully and professionally. I was then taken in to take x-rays and moved to another area where a dental assistant polished my teeth. After that , I was asked to wait for Dr. Lui to complete my teeth cleaning. I waited for approximately one hour without complaining. After that wait, Dr. Lui approached me abruptly, rudely, and disrespectfully and told me that he refused to provide treatment , that I was a bad patient, and that he did not want to see me ever again. He said this was because of my past complaints about the quality of teeth cleaning not meeting my expectations. I calmly explained that this involved a single incident approximately 3 years ago, when I believed a prior cleaning had not been performed properly. At that time, I had requested that my teeth be cleaned again because they still felt dirty afterward, The office honored my request, the matter was resolved, and I was really satisfied. In fact, Dr. Lui personally re-cleaned my teeth at that time. After that incident , I returned for additional visits and specifically requested that Dr. Lui perform future teeth cleanings. I was never informed that there were concerns about my behavior, character, or patient status. This incident was especially upsetting because my 8 year old granddaughter witnessed the interaction. She became frightened, distressed and concerned by the way I was spoken to and asked why I was being treated so rudely and aggressively. My granddaughter texted her father to informed him that Grandma was just kicked out of a dental office, my son Jorge Martinez my granddaughters father became very concern by text sent to him. Mr. Martinez called me on my cell phone in the middle of my conversation with Dr. I expressed to Dr. Lui how I didn't appreciate in the way he was handling unresolved issue based on a past incident, and the way I was being spoken to in a very disrespectful and humiliating way. I felt like I waisted my time and I couldn't believe he was refusing services to finish my teeth cleaning in the middle of treatment. Dr. Lui didn't care or display any remorse or compassion to listen or understand me to look for better way to resolve the problem or misunderstanding. Dr.Lui walked away, another staff employee had heard the conversation. I explained the truth of what had happened, but instead of trying to resolve the situation. I was told that Dr. Lui was the boss and that what he said was final. Mrs. Gretchen then asked me to please leave, escorted me out, and told me that the office no longer accepted my PPO insurance. Afterwards I checked the office website and it clearly stated that my PPO was accepted. This left a concerned that I was being treated unfairly and possibly given inaccurate information while being removed from this office.

I've not gone to a dentist in forever because it's either they're over priced or just awful as dentists. Every dentist that I've been to will always hand me an estimate on how much work I need to get done and how much it's going to cost. Like, why? One dentist told me I needed deep cleaning and refused to do anything to my teeth until I agreed to pay for a deep cleaning. Dr. Kint said I did not need deep cleaning and proceeded to give me a normal cleaning. Sure, some work will be expensive and it's to be expected but why do other dentists hand you a bill before work is even done? 10 out of 10 with Dr. Kint. His assistants and front desk are also wonderful people. Look no further if you need a good dentist.

Luckily my masters roommate at UCSF had just finished dental school (best in the country) so I asked her and the dentist at family first dentistry and they couldn't believe that they had told me fillings weren't standard of practice anymore.

Seeing that I was in pain (those things dig into the upper palette), the doctor stepped in and used bite wings, standing directly next to the x-ray machine while he gave orders to the hygienist to operate the x-ray machine. No problem for me, but it seems weird for the doctor to expose himself to x-rays like that on a daily basis. I at least had the lead bib; the doctor had no protection and was standing right next to the x-ray. Onto the cleaning, which didn't amount to much. They didn't clean my teeth. The hygienist polished them, but did nothing about tartar. No scraping, which I'm accustomed to at all my dental visits. The doctor told me that I "didn't have plaque" which seems suspicious to me, as I hadn't seen a dentist in about 8 months at that point. I *always* have tartar that needs to be scraped off, and my understanding is that tartar is what plaque becomes. I do take care of my teeth but tartar has always been a problem for me. The hygienist seemed new to the job and the doctor was extremely dismissive of my medical condition which is why I'm on Medi-Cal. They scheduled me for a full-cost cleaning for 6 months later, which I'm about to cancel because I simply don't trust this place. Again, maybe it's because I'm on Medi-Cal. If you've got money, your experience may be different.

Completely unprofessional and unaccommodating. I have insurance they don't accept, so I've had my exams, x-rays, and major work done elsewhere, but I came here for cleanings because the hygienist is excellent. After booking weeks in advance, they had me drive all the way in only to refuse to see me unless I paid for another exam with their doctor. This was nothing more than a bait-and-switch money grab. On top of that, they only called me 15 minutes before my appointment--far too late to avoid wasting my time. And to make matters worse, I've seen them offer incentives for patients to leave positive reviews, which explains why the ratings don't match the reality. I could never run my own practice this way. Unprofessional, disappointing, and dishonest. Save yourself the frustration and do not go here.
