    Best dentist I've ever had. Long time patients of De. Pallares, Hubs & I have been coming here for years. Back when our previous dentist kept raising fees yearly and at some point, it became way too much -- especially paying out of pocket for routine cleanings + yearly x-rays, I looked around and researched extensively. When I found Dr. Pallares on Yelp also stumbled upon a Groupon deal -- the rest is history. I've had my share of dentists who would try and "sell you" on unnecessary, totally bogus "dented work" that supposedly are critical and "need to get done ASAP". Even fell for one tactic and never will ever again) when I had a crown replaced for no reason because that to-be-left-unnamed dentist scared me saying there MAY be infection underneath. Anyways. You will find NONE of these upwelling here. And if we ever need more than routine cleaning and X-rays, I have full confidence to trust Dr. Palates and his staff to take care of us both for treatments and fair billing.

    I had not been to the dentist in an embarrassingly long amount of time for so many different excuses that I cannot even pick which one to tell you. With not having dental insurance, I needed a good deal for xray and check up. Oddly enough, there were a bunch of groupon deals for dentists and I'm so happy to have gone with Dr. Pallares! Dr. Pallares and his Technician were so friendly and patient with me. They made it really bearable and put my childhood trauma at ease. After the cleaning, we went over some more work that needed to be done and honestly, compared to my friends' that need work done, it's a real good price. Haven't mustered the courage (or the funds) to come back yet, but I know that I want to come back to Dr. Pallares' office.

    I can not say enough good things about Doctor Pallares. After having purchased a Groupon for cleaning I inquired about some other work I was interested in getting done. Doctor Pallares was able to negotiate a reasonable amount and after a couple weeks of having some temporaries and now with my permanent crowns I couldn't be happier. He was super informative, patient and honest throughout the whole process. His staff Wendy and Bryan were also extremely friendly and professional. I anticipate getting some more work done in the near future and know I'll be in good hands going back. Thank you all for a wonderful experience, I'm thrilled with my new smile!

They gave me a date and time with no mention of ANYTHING else, fees or any extra details. When the day came (after taking the day off of work), I come in, fill out the paperwork and the receptionist is like "oh yeah, it's gonna be $250". I would have appreciated the heads up. After setting up another date for a month later, they shoot me a text a few days before saying it's $525. WTH? So I set an appt at $250, and they text me to say they raised their prices instead of honoring the price I was given when setting the date? Just on principal from them "forgetting" to tell me of any fee to DOUBLING the fee I declined the new appointment and coming in altogether. Dr Goei is obviously getting pretty ambitious & could care less about how her greed falls on potential patients. Would be interesting in knowing how much her treatment prices have increased too. Anyway, thank god living in LA we all have TONS of options. After realizing it's a standard conventional mainstream dental office, I ended up finding way better, more knowledgeable and holistic office options. Gods rejection is his protection.

Usually I come in every 6 months and I fill out a reminder card which is usually sent to me ahead of my next appointment. But the past few times I have not received a card in the mail so when my appointment is due I'm not able to plan for it. Edna usually does the scheduling and working with her has gotten progressively difficult. Usually she can put me on a waiting list and call a day before to confirm, but this time she said I had to call to confirm. This is fine but I questioned why she couldn't call as usual, and she just gave a non-answer ending with "whatever". I couldn't believe the disrespect! Edna has never apologized for the inconvenience (even in the past), knowing that it's usually very difficult to reschedule. Appointments can be weeks to months out (there is only one hygienist left). Anyway I'll miss having Dr. Chu as my dentist but I won't tolerate anymore the attitude Edna has displayed toward me the past few years. Good luck

    Let me tell you about the scam that is the Dentists Of South Pasadena as well as the HMO program in…read moregeneral. HMO Dental facilities are paid a certain amount to bring in a number of patients for a cleaning. If they don't show up, they actually get paid more. If they do show up, the dentist makes no money so ever on the cleaning. So what must an HMO dentists do. Up-charge and request all these extra things - it's the only way they make money. They actually don't make any money on a routine cleaning. Which is also why their cleanings last all of 5-10 minutes. (Why work for nothing they think?) A true cleaning from a Dentist (most likely PPO unless you found a great dentist on HMO) should be at least 30 minutes long when doing a thorough job. Remember, tartar is only removed in a professional cleaning. When you come into this facility your cleaning will last 5 minutes and on top of that they most likely will say "you know, you need a deep cleaning" or some other thing to make your situation feel worse and surprisingly need additional work. This is only how they make money. Whether it is the fast & lazy cleanings or the additional unnecessary work they will tell you needs to be done. Do not trust what they say, find another Dentist office.

    The wait time here is insane. Almost an hour just to get a check up where the dentist literally…read morejust stuck her fingers in my mouth and told me I was good (I wish I was joking). So don't go here if you have other things to do in the day. I haven't had many issues with the actual procedures (I really only get cleaning / deep cleaning & check ups...I don't have a lot of dental issues so I can't speak on anything more invasive). Although they definitely try to upsell on procedures you don't need (including telling me I need a deep cleaning when the same dentist literally told me when I got it done in 2025 that I won't need another one for years), and charge your insurance as much as they can. Like most people, I don't like wasting my time and I don't like being lied to. Time to find a new place.

I feel Dr. Tso and his team do a remarkable job of not just focusing on the technical work, but on seatside manner, expressing interest and openness to how I'm doing in my everyday life, work, and more. I love every opportunity to chat with Dr. Tso and his team about cats, art, mental health, and thoughts on life and the meaning thereof. Our lighthearted but authentic conversations truly put me at ease, give me a respite from life's stressors, and continually leave me with a feeling of comfort and acceptance. Perhaps most memorably, after I lost my father a few years ago, and while feeling devastated and somewhat confused, I turned to Dr. Tso. He knew how to respond in the most kind yet professional manner, providing both a safe space as well as a model of boundaried compassion which I have turned to many times in my memory as an example of how to respond kindly to emotionally-distraught and/or confused people seeking support and care.
