I took the chance on calling the office, though it was 6:57PM, thinking I would get the Answering Service or voicemail. Was I ever thrilled when Desireé actually answered after I held a bit! She was able to make an appointment the next morning at 11:30AM with my dentist!! WHAT A RELIEF!! I was VERY happy that Dr. Robert Nochez and Long Beach Smiles Dentistry was able to fit me in on such short notice the very next day! It ended up being a root canal and a crown because of the vertical cracking of the tooth but at least it wasn't an implant!! And this is even crazier, the next week, a crown I have had for many years feel out in the sink I the morning while I was water flossing! I figured it would be no big deal and they could just re-cement it but nope--there was decay next to the gum and they had to clean it up and I needed another crown since the margins no longer match. Again, it was great that they were able to fit me in when I called that morning; and with my doctor, once again! Tracy was so great, so empathetic and we worked out a time of 11:00AM which fit with another doctor appointment! Thank you, Long Beach Smiles Dentistry!

BEWARE OF LONG BEACH SMILES at 5533 Stearns Street in Long Beach!!!…read more They are committing insurance fraud and defrauding their customers as well. They not only overcharged me for services that were capped by my insurance but their mismanagement of my account with a secondary lender caused my credit rating to plummet. If you have an HMO Dental Plan, they are prohibited from charging anything over the "Maximum Allowable Charges" that are set by their "capitation" agreement with the insurance company. I was overcharged by $3,388 for dental work and only found out because I spoke with the insurance company the OTHER time they tried to overcharge me. I only found out after demanding itemized receipts and comparing them with the fees on the Delta Dental website. Besides the issue with the outside lender, I have overpaid them $844.00 out of pocket and they refuse to pay the money back. I will be taking them to court but can only imagine how many more people they have done this to. If you have ever gone to Long Beach Smiles at 5555E. Stearns Street in Long Beach, please ask for your itemized receipts and compare them to the maximum allowable charges. Please contact me if you find anything. I believe that this could rise to the level of a class action. It can't just me me. Thanks, Kellie

I followed the prompt it gave me when I called, and it went exactly how it said it would. They got me in the same week as a new patient, handled my cleaning, and fixed my permanent retainer all in one visit. I'm very particular about quality of service and my teeth in general, and it showed right away that the entire staff took the time to review my information and make the experience feel personal, not rushed or pressed for upsells. It was an incredibly warm experience. Customer service was excellent. The team was efficient, took care of everything I needed, and made the whole process smooth from start to finish. Extra star for having chapstick on hand. My lips usually dry out fast during appointments, so that small detail was the icing on the cake. I walked out with clean teeth, my retainer fixed, and hydrated lips. Highly recommend this office if you want an independent dentist that really cares about their patients.

The office staff was friendly & I didn't wait long in the waiting room. The hygienist was gentle & thorough. She took X-rays, too. Dr Cho's dental assistant was also friendly & professional. He took an impression of one of my broken teeth & explained that the second tooth would be taken care of at a following appointment. I mentioned that the sound of the dental drill set my nerves on end. He suggested some earphones with my preferred music might help. He set that up. Dr. Cho came in to prepare my tooth for a crown. He was gentle, informative, professional, & friendly. I left the office with only slight numbing & a lot of confidence that I was well-taken care of. I will actually look forward to going to the dentist as long as I go to Dr Cho & his staff.

To make sure he was the right doctor I wanted to go to. As I had bad experiences with prior dentists with care and some disregarding pronouns. Hopefully, I don't run into any of these issues here. After back and forth with pricing and patient reviews from different dentist. I found I was able to get a decent price for my Invisalign with my insurance here. From my observation from going here for about a year. His office is clean and his team is professional when they check you in, and sending reminders of appts or rescheduling. Mornings are usually their busiest. Might have to wait depending how busy they are. In my experience for my check up visits, Im usually in and out (Which is nice). My check up appts are between 6-8 weeks. I usually see his techs. They did my attachments and removal. And receive my next set of retainers and some chewies. From the prior set of attachments two of them came out but they said it was fine. One of my attachment removal is still a little sensitive think it might have been grinded down a little too much. I can see some of my teeth are slowly but surely getting straight. I've seen Dr.Cho a handful of times with the consultation, grinding for gapping teeth and two or three of my check ups. Two more appt and hopefully I won't need it anymore sets. I understand their office is busy. But, more checks from the Dr through the invisalign process about progress and concerns would have been more reassuring.

I sadly have to update my experience after trying multiple times to get a clear answer about…read moreout-of-pocket costs for self pay cleaning and exam. During my last appointment, I told the front desk associate (who seemed new) that I no longer wanted to continue paying for the Smile Generation dental plan they sell to patients, and I asked if she could please tell me the self-pay cost for a routine cleaning and exam. She didn't know. (hmmm...) She asked if she could call me back with the information, which never happened. This was months ago, and with my next cleaning coming up next week, I called again today to ask the same question. I spoke with Darlene, who first needed to look up my file before answering -- which already felt a little odd considering I was just asking for standard pricing information. I again explained that I no longer wanted to use the Smile Generation plan, and she told me the self-pay cost for a cleaning and exam would be $430. FOURHUNDREDANDTHIRTYAMERICANDOLLARS. ROUTINE CLEANING AND EXAM. (sorry I'll stop shouting). Even at the bougiest dental office I've ever gone to, self-pay pricing for a routine cleaning and exam was closer to $250-$300. I didn't want to immediately cancel, so I said, "Okay, I'll just come in for the cleaning w/o exam this time," which would have been $140 for cleaning only. She said that was fine, but that going forward it would HAVE to be a full cleaning and exam. That really left a bad taste in my mouth. It started to feel less like patient care and more like I wasn't wanted there unless I could comfortably pay an exorbitant amount out of pocket every six months. I sat with this all day because I genuinely liked Dr. Matsuno and the techs here. But ultimately, what felt like a lack of transparency and the uncomfortable feeling I walked away with after hanging up today are causing me to seek care elsewhere. I understand this is a business, and businesses need to make money. I truly do. But I don't want to go somewhere that makes me feel uncomfortable for not being able to spend that kind of money on routine dental visits a couple times a year. Respectfully, I think there needs to be a realistic middle ground on their pricing and expectation of what non-insured patients are willing to spend. And for me, that's NOT $430 every few months.
