Don't schedule your appointment at 2pm here - I came 20 min or so early to mine and waited ~30 minutes in an empty office before deciding to leave and cancel. There was one other person waiting ahead of me. Presumably, everyone was still out to lunch. I've been a patient for a year and a half, but will switch now. read more

I wanted to update my review to share that Dr. Lu personally called to follow up regarding my mom's experience, and I truly appreciate him taking the time to reach out. My mom has always been very happy with Dr. Lu's care and trusted his recommendations over the years. It really meant a lot that he took the initiative to address our concerns directly and ensure she continues to receive the best care possible. We'll be scheduling her next visit soon and I'll provide another update after her appointment! read more

I've been going to Dr. Lu for about 3 years now and I'm going to continue going because of their professional patient care. Before Dr. Lu I was constantly switching dentist. Likewise, I've recommended Dr. Lu to co-workers and friends. This office is clean, organized and has plenty of parking in the front. read more

I want to add that Dr. Lu called me -- I assume in response to my review -- to apologise for actions by his office in the incident I described above concerning insurance. I accept his apology and appreciate that he called me. I'd add that he is an excellent dentist and I have no complaints about the dental treatment I received at his clinic. My review was an angry response to being insulted and inconvenienced at a time when I needed acute dental care. read more

Always a great experience at Dr. Lu's, I had gone to Dr. Lu a few years back and had aI accidentally chipped my tooth and needed urgent attention. I called Dr. Lu's office and chatted with a very helpful receptionist who was able to assist with booking an appt with Dr. Lu pronto. His attention to detail, patience, professionalism and bedside manner was superb! read more

First and foremost, allow me to say that this dentistry is not just a dental clinic, it is like going over to your family's house for lunch. If you are looking for an industry professional that runs in the family, De. Ben Lu is your guy. Personally, I've been going to Dr. Ben Lu for years and this is the spot that I recommend all my friends, family, and colleagues should they be on the lookout for a family dentist. Clean and organized office, hospitable staff, well-implemented procedures, and one awesome dentist. Well, two if his father is around- like I said, it runs in the family! Dr. Ben Lu and his team of professionals don't treat patients- they take care of family, if you join the family, of course. Appointment-making is easy and simple over the phone, in-office waits are almost always time if you are on time. ****About COVID-19**** With the pandemic impacting the globe, Dr. Ben Lu and his team developed and implemented a safeguard system to ensure that all patients and staff are under the upmost protection. 1. Be ready to have your temperature checked upon entrance, 2. Be prepared to sign a document indicating your health record. 3. You'll be asked to wash your hand THOROUGHLY. 4. Lastly, all work stations are clean and sanitized. By the way, we must do our part- Please, go into Dr. Lu's office with a mask. When it comes to keeping his patients and community safe, the above procedures are very reassuring to go through. Anyways, I'll keep on going to my man Dr. Ben Lu for as long as I can. The best in town. read more

REALLY GLAD I FOUND THIS OFFICE! I havent been to the dentist since I came here from Russia 2 1/2 years ago and havent really been able to see a dentist regularly and i have alot of holes in my teeth. One day a few of those holes started hurting really badly! After many nights without sleep i was glad to have found Dr. Lu and his great assistants. They made a step by step to take xare of my teeth. Helen the hygienist gave me one of the best cleanings Ive ever had and the holes that they could put fillings in they used white fillings. I can only tell they worked on it because i was there! They were so natural that no one else knew i had these fillings. I recently got a couple root canals done at another office in Montebello and awaiting to get my crowns here. I have dentical insurnace and they were able to get most of my work covered. So grateful for this place! read more

Everyone there is cool. But when the dr finds out you didn't come back to him after the 1st exam because you went somewhere else, you better off going to another place cus he's just going to BS and tell you there's nothing he can do. Wouldn't even bother writing a prescription after telling me there's a lot of infection. He can throw away my files, cus I wont ever be back! read more

Dr. Ben Lu is the best! I've been to dental offices where I literally feel like they are lying to me so I spend more money on treatments that I don't need. I've wasted so much money on "fillings" for "cavities" that somehow just disappeared? So grateful to find Dr. Lu! I was referred by a friend and my experience was very professional, fair, and educational. Everyone was very friendly, from the front office staff to the hygienist to the dentist :) Apparently this office used to be run by Dr. Lu's dad, and I'm happy to be able to support a family business. I highly recommend coming here. Dr. Lu is patient, honest, and he really cares about his patients. Thank you Dr. Lu and all of the staff!!! read more

I've been coming here for years now and Ben and his team are always top notch. They fully remodeled a few years back and the office is really clean with new/upgraded equipment and expanded with more stations (i.e., don't judge the book by the outside of the building). Appointments are easy to make with the super friendly staff and this isn't one of those places where you always have to wait long beyond your appointment time. Most importantly, Ben is an honest and caring dentist who genuinely want to do what's in the best interest of the patient's dental health. No pushing for unnecessary dental work sooner than is needed. He spends time with each patient and provides thorough explanations. I've been to bad dentists and ok dentists, and Ben is definitely a great dentist! read more

Horrible dentist, acts kind but is a shark. Charges $100 for xrays even if insurance pays for it. Tried to up sell me on various "issues" I had even though my primary never even mentions it. If you have a problem that's a 1, he will make it seem like a 10. If you want a genuine dentist, who cares and not just sees you as $$$$ Do not come here. read more

I visited Dr Lu's office today and overall, it was a very pleasant experience. First off, as a fellow healthcare provider, I really appreciated that the office was clean. It's modern and updated. The front office staff who greeted me upon entering the waiting area was receptive, helpful and friendly. Dr Lu himself was also very kind and knowledgeable. He came over while the associate doctor was treating me, just to check in on me. I've read through some of the reviews from other patients and I didn't feel like either of the doctors pressured me into doing anything unnecessary. The associate doctor was also very good. He was great about taking the time to explain everything to me and I felt that I was taken good care of. I left feeling very satisfied as a patient. read more

I recently had my second appointment with Dr. Benjamin, and I'm extremely satisfied with both his skill and straightforward approach. I had chipped my front tooth and I was mortified! Specially it being the front tooth. I was in search of a trustworthy professional to restore both its natural appearance and functionality. Dr. Benjamin and his team exhibited remarkable attention to detail. The only suggestion I would make is to bring a cozy sweater, as the office can get a bit chilly don't mind it at all, knowing it's maintained for hygienic reasons. read more

I can not recommend this dentist anymore. He drilled my good teeth and left me waiting halfway for a good 25 minutes while he attended to another patient. I felt the big cavity with my tongue while waiting. I told his staff/brother that I did not understand why Dr. Lu drilled my good teeth with a big hole when there was nothing wrong with it. He told me he would only shave it a little for easily flossing, which I expressed my concern about ruining my teeth with sensitivity. He said it would only be a little shaving. Afterward, I spoke to his brother, expressing my unhappiness and dissatisfaction with the teeth drilling, but the brother told me to speak to the dentist. When I met Dr. Benjamin Lu, he did not admit the error and said something about my teeth needed work. I was asked to write a positive review in order to get $10 gift card. Sorry, I have no interest in a $10 gift card when you destroyed my teeth. I know we all want to make money, but what happened is unethical and wrong. The error is irreversible just because he wanted to make extra money. I thought that I had found a trustworthy doctor, but I was wrong. I can't see myself going back after what happened. You lost a loyal customer who recommended other patients to you. read more

One of the things I appreciate is how every individual working here is extremely kind. I initially felt a bit daunted going in, but the staff and everyone were able to relieve the uncomfortableness fairly easy. I recently had fillings for four cavities, and one cavity was particularly deep so it needed to be numbed; needless to say I was scared pantless because the idea of numbing has always made my stomach seize. However, the staff working here completely understood my initial fear and were so adept at distracting and focusing all of their attention in making sure that I felt 100% relaxed which ultimately MADE the experience. I wish I could say more about Benjamin Lu, DDS but I would encourage those who are looking for a new general dentist to visit here, I have never experienced a more compassionate and kind staff like this place before. Although the place is a bit small, they make sure that everyone who is here has a seat of their own and feels comfortable. I also have to note that they are VERY equipped in making sure that those who are coming for their appointment are temperature checked as to ensure the safety of the staff as well as the fellow patients. Dr. Lu, Victor, and EVERY staff is very considerate and kind. They are all very patients with any questions I had and were able to explain things in a manner that is easily comprehensible. I would NOT hesitate in choosing Benjamin Lu, DDs! read more

Dr Benjamin Lu has been our family dentist for years and we loved it! Everyone there is nice and friendly. Will be highly recommending this place. My experience with them has been amazing. read more

Been a long time since I've been to the dentist but this was a great experience compared to my past dentists. Fast, effective, professional all around. Very informative as well if you want to learn about details of your situation and preventative care. read more

During this covid-9 situation, I got an emergency and my tooth cracked and I needed urgent help. Dr.Benjamin Lu assisted me greatly. I was in so much pain and I was very anxious like I always am visiting any specialist. He was very calm and helped me fix the tooth and I was completely comfortable. Not only were they very professional but they were also fully covered and changing gloves multiple times to ensure I felt safe and they were too. I would recommend him to anyone I know and will definitely go back if I get any teeth problems in the future! read more

I came here with pretty severe pain. It ended up being a root canal. This office referred me to an affordable (relative term) office to do the procedure. Then, I came back to get my crown done. Dr Lu was fine but Dr Cao (forgive me if spelling is wrong) was amazing! He was kind and patient and explained every step of the procedure as he went along. I hope I won't have to ever repeat this experience but if I do, I would return here for Dr C. Thank you! read more

I went to Benjamin Lu office last week. His receptionist asked me to his pffice for X-Ray .Benjamin LU did not explain the details of why he charge such a high price, His character is he does not speak openly to his patients. Benjumin Lu is not honest, cunning, very tricky, he asks for 650 for each teeth for Porcelain Ceramic crown. I talked to other dentist who charge $375 . I will not go to his office any more that he is trustworthy, very cunning person. His attitude is bad and I told my friends and relatives avoid Lu. read more

Great dentist and very patient. The office is also very clean and everybody is friendly.

Worse situation scheduling with them ever. EDIT: I would call for an appointment, and one person would schedule me in the morning. If I call again, a different person tells me that it's in the afternoon. It got me so confused! I was triggered to write this review is for that main reason. Many times I arrived to the appointment, and by saying appointment for me is in fact being told to take a walk and they'll call when they can service which is almost a hour. Got there around 5p, but got out at 8p. Also some of their assistant have main issues when they accidentally make tools fall on patients face, im not even kidding. Its the sharp tools too, and I bled. She said sorry, without really seeming sorry. But imagine it pokes my eye or something. Yeah, thats what I mean. They would put those saliva sucking thing in your mouth like not really caring about their job, just not actually helping with sucking the saliva but poke it in your throat and tongue. They do this every time, no joke that it gets on your nerve like they got something personal. I chose them because they accept Medi-cal and was too quick to choose a provider. My opinion is based on real experience and stands true. read more

I had another visit in temple city, it was a great experience and luckily Susan was assisting. I always feel comfortable when visiting the clinic read more

Dr. Ben Lu is a wonderful dentist!! I came in with an urgent dental matter and he quickly discovered the issue. I needed a root canal. Instead of waiting for weeks, he made a call and was able to get me in with a specialist quickly. His extra effort really made a difference. read more

Sorry for the essay but this guy basically ruined my life. Guy fucked up my tooth and my bite cause he misheard me about which molar had a problem. I specifically said second from the last in the back, and he did the last one instead, causing me pain for about over two weeks. Went back, told them what happen, and the guy without asking once again shaved off more on that healthy tooth for absolutely no reason even after I specially mention that wasn't the issue to multiple staff members. Now my bite is putting more pressure on that side cause he ended up lowering it by shaving off the enamel on that back molar. Also along with that tooth having extreme sensitivity due to the loss of enamel and the exposed dentin, Dude charge $400 plus to my insurance listing it as some comprehensive exam? Worse off he took X-rays too beforehand and I even pointed out which tooth was the issue, and he still messed up and ends up trying to say I was the reason he got the wrong tooth. And proceeds to blame my Wisdom tooth next to it being the source of the nerve pain, when I had no pain whatsoever before going to this guy. Went to another doc, who proceeds to do another check up, and guess what? It's not my Wisdom tooth causing me pain and sensitivity, it's due to the bad bite, from the tooth adjustments. He shaved off that tooth knowing it was pure enamel with no filling on the cusp yet he still did it. The other doc I went to after him specifically mention how the shaved off area had no fillings so they were confused why this doc thought that area had a filling, yet somehow the mistake still happened. Now every single day, it's pain in both the tooth and the bite, and that tooth being extremely sensitive to hot and cold due to the mistake. Additionally my overall bite is lowered, destroying how my original bite was, causing me malocclusion, which in turn has introduced other symptoms from constantly biting my inside cheeks to hyper salivation which apparently is due to my bite being fucked. But the worse off is the sensitivity and pain in the tooth he fucked, it's been a nightmare. Can't even eat veggies without the pressure bringing pain. The man literally had X-rays done, along with me pointing out the tooth to multiple staff members yet this still happened. The doc here may seem decent, but the moment u have issues, it's a 360 face change. This guy completely ruined my bite and overall oral health, just because of that one mistake, and charged $400 for it. I regret calling this place everyday. Should've left when I found out they charge $100 for copies of ur own xrays even after ur insurance already paid for them...I read the reviews yet I was stupid enough to stay. Learn from my mistake. U do not want this pain I'm feeling every day since. Now apparently I'm looking at a crown, or braces to fix this issue both of which I can't afford at the moment, so I'm stuck with this pain, my life has completely changed because of this mistake. Don't let him do the same to you. read more

Dr. Benjamin Lu is by far the BEST dentist I have ever been to. Dr. Lu is extremely gentle while performing procedures (which is very hard to come by), he explains everything and answers all your questions prior to beginning your treatment, and he makes you feel comfortable. The office staff is great. They are very pleasant, knowledgeable, and are always happy to answer any questions you have. Scheduling an appointment with them is a breeze and they don't make you wait for months to see the Dr. I have only been to the Alhambra office and every time I have gone there has been little to no wait time. I also referred all of my friends and family too. read more

Amazing staff and service! 100% recommend! It's hard to find dentists who know about insurances and are honest with regards to $, so this is a gem of a dentist. If you have PPO, make sure to come here! read more

Dr ben lu dds is son of dr henry lu. I have been going there for over 20 years. Ben lu is funny doctor and professional and patient with elder. He proven many time that is he very patient with my mother. Recommend everyone to go there get there hygiene fix . He have alot of programs for low income. read more

I've been going to Dr. Lu's dental office for the past year. We've gone thru deep cleaning, multiple cavity fillings (yup, I haven't been to the dentist in years), wisdom tooth pull, tooth caps, and now teeth whitening- basically the entire spectrum of dental works. So this review isn't light in terms of experiences. Dr. Lu and Dr. Su have been great. They're very professional and understanding. I'm not comfortable with the idea of having someone doing work inside my mouth but if I've got to choose these people are my go to guys. I've never had to wait an extraordinary length of time and I'm always kept abreast of any delays. When I had my wisdom tooth removed I had cracked it that very day and called in. I was very lucky as they were able to accommodate me and took care of that issue. Not all offices are 100% perfect in every aspect but these guys come pretty darn close. read more

Super clean and friendly environment! Quick and efficient! Ben and the staff made me feel right at home and comfortable! Excited to have a dentist I feel comfortable at. Won't be 2 years in between visits any more! read more

Dr. Lu is sooo nice! I feel like we could be friends IRL!

Quick and painless with an appointment, slow and painless without. I had a cleaning and cavity fillings here, all covered under Medi-Cal. It's obvious Dr. Benjamin Lu cares about his staff and craft. He's extremely thorough and approachable. Again, make sure to make an appointment or risk waiting over an hour with your unplanned visit. read more

This place is a Gem!!!!!! Such great excellent customer service. Staff is willing to go the extra mile to create the most beneficial experience one could ever have at the Dentist. Henry Lu is the man. Treated me with respect and adverse professionalism. I haven't been to the dentist in over 10 years. I went from having boarder line gum disease to pearly whites. He took his time and made sure my teeth were as clean and clear from any potential diseases or bacteria as possible. A definite must go and attend regular checkups. Thank you Dr. Benjamin, Dr. Henry Lu and Staff Team!!! I am extremely satisfied. read more

Very professional. The doctor and his son are very gentle with their cleaning. They tell you what they are going to do before and after. Great dental office overall! read more

Very happy with my teeth cleaning here! Dr. Benjamin was very knowledgeable and laid my worries about my teeth to rest. He explains to me how different characteristics of my teeth were personality characteristics which made my teeth unique as well as signs to look out for which would mean an underlying problem. Thankfully I don't grind my teeth and kept wearing my retainer after my braces so I'll be coming to Dr. Lu for my teeth maintenance from now on. read more

Great dentist, very professional. Everything was Brought to my attention - he tells you everything he's going to do before he does it unlike other dental offices. Does a great job on your teeth too! read more

Ben gave me my smile back and I'm forever grateful. About a year and a half ago I started having seizures which have damaged my teeth. This past seizure I woke up and saw I chipped 3 of my teeth in the front. Super embarrassing and reminded me of the incident every time I saw them. Staff was super friendly and they were able to get me an appointment right away. He fixed them up beautifully and natural looking. I'm so thankful. I can smile easy again :D read more
