I highly recommend this dental office! I haven't been to the dentist for a while, but Dr. Kuo and his staff made my visit extremely smooth and easy. The staff made it very easy to schedule an appointment in the same week, and I was seen as soon as I arrived. They also were very clear with my insurance coverage, as well as any copays I would have. Dr. Kuo is an excellent dentist; he was very transparent and explained everything I had questions very thoroughly. He is also very caring and easy to talk to. He speaks Mandarin, so I would definitely recommend my parents and family members to come visit him after my successful appointment! read more

This place is awesome! My family and I have been looking for a good family dentist and we're happy to say we finally found one! I love how the office is decorated and they give you candies and other freebies. The staff are very welcoming and friendly and the place is very clean and organized. Dr. Brian is honest and thorough and fast, but efficient. You can tell they actually care and aren't just trying to make money out of you. Shout out Derica for making my teeth squeaky clean!!! read more

I just recently had a crown done by Dr Kuo. I was very concerned about getting the Novocaine and it was completely painless. I was shocked because I'm typically not a very good dental patient and Dr Kuo is like none other. He made the whole process literally painless. Great personality easy to work with told you what he was doing gentle yet very competent. I can't recommend this Dentist enough. What an outstanding group! read more

Brian is a great dentist who really cares about his patients. He takes his time to explain treatment options and possible outcomes for each option. He doesn't try to sugarcoat anything and is straight to the point. I used to hate going to the dentist... well I still do but Brian and his staff make it more bearable. I had terrible hygiene and I feel like I also had terrible dentists in the past so I have tons of work that needs to be touched up. I've had dentists who wouldn't believe me when I said I still felt pain and would get frustrated and just barrel through the work. Not Brian, he makes sure you're comfortable every step of the way. The TVs with Netflix and Disney+ and all the subscriptions are a nice distraction as well. Highly recommend. read more

I had a very disappointing experience at this office. I had confirmed my appointment over the phone for a specific morning time (which I rearranged my therapy session for) and was told they could fit me in on Friday. I was happy it aligned with my schedule and even canceled an appointment at another dental office to come here. When I arrived, the front desk clerk seemed puzzled to not see me scheduled in the system and asked if I was sure. I told him I was confident because I always schedule appointments in my iPhone calendar as I make them, and I even showed him my color-coded calendar. He was the one who asked if I had received any confirmation by text or email, and I explained that if I wasn't in their system, of course I wouldn't receive a reminder, the system wouldn't send one. He agreed, saying, "Oh, that's true." I also showed him my call log with our 17-minute conversation where we had discussed why I wanted to visit this location. I first came here in December when I was searching for a new dentist after my insurance changed and my previous dentist no longer accepted it. My previous dentist office is Loyal Dentistry, also in Arcadia where I've been a customer for over 5 years. I received dental cleanings, fillings, and my Invisalign done there. I gave this place another chance now because the reviews were so amazing. I take time to choose providers carefully, especially for something as personal as healthcare, and I genuinely wanted to build a relationship with this office. Unfortunately, it feels unorganized and understaffed. Today, they offered to "squeeze me in," but I didn't want to feel rushed or have my concerns overlooked. I was hesitant because two additional clients walked in after me and I felt like they may have to rush my care to get to them. Unfortunately, I gave them the benefit of the doubt and stayed, and ended up feeling exactly that: rushed. The dentist never sat down during the exam, made negative comments about a filling, and suggested they wouldn't fix it because Medi-Cal "may be too cheap." That comment alone was unprofessional and made me uncomfortable. Even during my first visit in December 2024, I had the first appointment of the day, but the front desk staff arrived late and hurried inside. My friend who came with me even commented it looked like he had "just woken up." I remember not really minding at all, but I can see now the pattern of this rushed, unorganized behavior. The first appointment is where Dr. Kuo called out my filling and told me that it didn't look like a great job was done which left me with concerns and questions that I wanted addressed. As he was explaining things to me, I naturally had follow up questions and he told me to Google them. I was a bit surprised by this response because it was polite, but politely unprofessional. Today, they also had me sign a disclaimer form AFTER the procedure was done, which felt backwards. Are they polite? Yes. Organized? No. Overall, it seems like they book clients back-to-back and try to rush through them as quickly as possible, all while having the dental hygienist also work the front desk - and it just feels chaotic. read more

My family and I have been going to Brian Y. Kuo, DDS in Arcadia for a while, and it's easily the best dental office I've been to. Dr. Kuo and his team are professional, friendly, and truly care about their patients. From cleanings and fillings to Invisalign, root canals, implants, and extractions, they make every visit smooth and comfortable. My mom recently had an implant placed, and the entire process--from extraction to restoration--was seamless. Dr. Kuo is meticulous, ensuring proper healing at every step. I've also had whitening and restorative work, and my smile has never looked better! The office is modern, clean, and welcoming, with a fun collection of figurines that adds a personal touch. If you need a great dentist in Arcadia for cosmetic, restorative, or emergency dental care, I highly recommend Dr. Kuo and his team! read more

I been coming to Dr. Kuo for a couple years now and he has been super friendly and helpful. He is knowledgeable and experienced. I had my annual/ semiannual tooth cleaning here as well as my wisdom teeth removal. I would definitely not say it was a enjoyable experience but Dr. Kuo definitely made the experience more tolerable. Recovery was quite smooth as well, didn't have any infections or issues with the stitches. read more

Office is clean. Doctor is very nice. Scheduling is at ease. Basic dental work should be OK.

Parking: right next to enterprise. They have their private lot. Due to COVID it is recommended to call in ahead of time to set an appointment. I went in for my dental cleaning and it was great that they limited the number of patients. Dr. Kuo is very informative and friendly. Teeth felt sparkly clean afterwards! read more

Dr. Brian Kuo and his staff are local legends! I've stayed with Dr. Kuo for many years, since my time with braces and subsequent orthognathic treatments. Walking in, you are greeted by a cozy and clean practice. The staff are quick and logical in handling appointments and paperwork. They are thorough in consultation and discussing treatment options. All of his procedures were quick, painless, and effective! Amazing bedside manner! He performed wisdom teeth removal, teeth cleanings, and dental fillings on me. Prices are very reasonable. The staff also works very well with you on how to process insurance. Overall, Dr. Kuo's practice is a local icon! read more

I'm someone who once dreaded dentist visits and felt super uncomfortable in most offices until I found Dr. Kuo!! I've never met a dentist so thorough and focused on the true wellbeing of the patient. He wants to explain everything for the patient to gain visibility on their own case. You can truly tell he's passionate about what he does and how he can help our dental health to the best of his abilities. I had issues with previous fillings done before at other offices and he's helped me through the process in the most honest and enlightening way, explaining a lot more about the situation and many options I can take, than any other dentist I've worked with. Never thought I'd say I could look forward to seeing the dentist but that's a reality with Dr. Kuo :) read more

Not much of a review writer, but Dr. Kuo deserves it. I won't go into detail about my dental situation, but Dr. Kuo was a true partner and professional in getting to the bottom of it and resolving the issue. Perhaps I've just been unlucky in the past, but "dental" and care" don't always go hand in hand for me....Dr. Kuo really cares. He lays out your options, shows you what he's doing, and explains why. His staff is kind and accommodating and I enjoyed their Netflix selections from the patient's chair. So glad to have found "my" dental office! read more

Every time I'm in ARCADIA I make plans to visit Dr Kuo for a teeth cleaning. Very thorough job done by the dentist himself and has plenty of photos of my teeth to show me what he is going to work in. read more

Dr Kuo is hands down one of the best dentists I've ever come across. He takes his time, explains what he's going to do and does it painlessly. I've had multiple cavities filled by him and the team and had the pleasure of working with him for more than a year. If you're into painless, precise dental work without unnecessary procedures this is your place. You can't do better. read more

I highly recommend coming here. The dentist and staff are very kind, especially the lady at the front desk named Cindy. You will be well taken care of! read more

I was recommended to Dr. Kuo by a friend of mine who happens to be his client as well. I need my wisdom tooth extracted. I came for my first visit for an X-ray and cleaning and I was not disappointed. Him and his assistant were very thorough and kind. He always asked if I was doing ok during the cleaning and he explained everything that they were doing and why. He was also light on his hands which helped a lot since I have sensitive teeth. Pricing is competitive as I am to return in two weeks for the actual extraction and I can't wait to get this little sh*t extracted. *UPDATE* My wisdom tooth area had Pericoronitis and even then it was painless! I know sometimes extractions take longer depending on the person's tooth but mine literally took 1 minute of the removal procedure. Probably 10 mins for the anesthesia. My appointment was at 10am and got out of there at 1030. Not gonna day that everyone's experience will be this fast coz again, it depends. However, I think Dr. Kuo is light with his hands and since he's very knowledgeable and skilled I felt no pain! Both him and his assistant Vanessa were awesome. I always feel comfortable and welcomed there. DEFINITELY RECOMMENDING HIM. read more

I broke a front tooth and was recommended to Brian Y Kuo DDS by a dental hygienist friend. Dr. Kuo and the rest of the staff are so friendly and trustworthy. I avoid going to the dentist since I just moved to Temple city from Rosemead.  Getting my teeth fixed here has been easy and painless and I find myself looking forward to my future appointments. Dr. Kuo and his team worked with me on everything and were quick to answer any questions or concerns I had. My crown looks great!!  His staff were careful to take their time with me and Dr. Kuo asked how I was doing throughout the appointment.  The office is clean with new technology. I could not have had a better experience with Brian Y Kuo DDS and I highly recommend them. read more

I previously had bad experiences with the dentists I went to. A lot of them try to give me invasive, non-necessary, and expensive treatments. I was traumatized, both financially and mentally. Then I found Dr. Kuo. I really appreciate that he is very honest and caring. He does not try to sell me expensive and unnecessary treatments. He tells me the truth, gives me what I really need, and does not overcharge. Price is very transparent. Both Dr. Kuo and his staff are very nice and caring. I am really happy I eventually found this place! read more

I recently had to change my dental plan to a different carrier that my previous dentist didn't take. I had no idea where to find a new dentist so I looked for one on Yelp. Dr. Kuo caught my attention because he had 5 stars. I just had my first appointment last week, and he did not disappoint. He was very nice, gentle and professional. His front office gal and dental assistant were great too! I highly recommend Dr. Brian Kuo read more

I decided to go to Dr. Kuo to get my wisdom teeth extracted after seeing his positive reviews on Yelp. I was not disap. Booking the appointment was very easy thanks to his friendly assistant Vanessa. Before the appointment, she communicated with me through text message to verify and run my insurance, and she even gave me an estimated price. When I went into the office, I noticed it was very clean and modern. There were comfortable sofa chairs for my girlfriend to sit on while she waited for me. The paperwork process was fast and simple since Vanessa had already run my insurance through. Before the extraction, Dr. Kuo examined my x-ray, which was taken at the office, and explained to me why I would need my wisdom teeth removed. Then he told me the exact price of the procedure and asked if I was okay with it. There were no hidden costs. During the extraction, he was quick but also precise. He made sure to ask me if I felt any pain every few minutes to make sure that the local anesthesia was working. He also repeatedly told me that I was doing well, which gave me more confidence in the procedure. Overall the extraction took around 40 minutes but it felt faster than that. I would definitely recommend anyone that needs to get their wisdom teeth, or any teeth for that matter, removed to go check out Dr. Brian Kuo! read more

At first I was so worried about my visit because I have not been to dentist after I came to the States. But when I walked into the office, the front desk was so friendly and the environment is new and refreshing, which lessen my anxiety immediately. Dr Kuo is very gentle and caring. The whole treatment was pain free! I would personally recommend to everyone and anyone who needs dental work.

I got all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Kuo. Despite being a difficult procedure, Dr. Kuo made me feel confident things would go well because he took the time to explain in detail each step he would take to get them out.

After my previous long-term dentist retired, I was scrambling for a while to find the ideal dentist - trustworthy, skilled, experienced, friendly & knowledgeable with all the current research & innovations. Just needed a check-up, cleaning & possibly some whitening as one was long overdue... @__@"' I found Dr. Kuo by recommendation & was very glad I did. When first calling in to inquire about recommended procedures, pricing & insurance, Vanessa was extremely helpful, patient & personable. The prices were very competitive & I already felt comfortable with scheduling an appointment after bombarding Vanessa with numerous questions (spent over 10 minutes on the phone with her), all answered graciously & tactfully. Going in, the office was very professional - clean, bright, organized & well-kept with nice décor & a comfortable waiting area. Vanessa greeted me with a big smile & apologized in needing me to fill out a bit of paperwork as a new patient, all to ensure that Dr. Kuo would be aware of any health issues, allergies, etc. I quickly noticed all of Dr. Kuo's impressive accreditations & awards across the wall as well. I was warmly greeted by Dr. Kuo & he instantly made me feel at ease. Vanessa assisted me in taking x-rays & Dr. Kuo examined the results & the live orifice. He was gentle & careful, checking every few minutes to make sure I was okay. The whole visit was smooth & painless, and my mouth & smile felt so fresh & renewed. Dr. Kuo did advise me of an emerging cavity & recommended that I take care of that promptly to prevent future troubles. Found his pricing to be more than reasonable & came back again for a "patch up." Second visit was also smooth & easy. Really happy to find Dr. Kuo & would highly recommend him without hesitation! You'll be in great hands. Now I have no worries about my dental care. read more

My experience with Dr. Kuo and his staff Debbie was awesome/surprising/great. I had a wisdom tooth removal back in late Jan and the whole process was like " wow". And I say "wow" because it was quick. I went in sign paper work, Debbie put on a numbing gel, they applied the oral injections in my gums and then he started to extract my tooth. Honestly the whole process was quick. Like in 5 mins he took both my upper wisdom tooth and I felt no pain. He gave me extra gauze pads and a sheet of paper that says what to do and not to do. The next day after the extraction I felt no pain, I felt no pain whatsoever after my tooth got pulled out. Honestly, I think it's just all in your head. Anyways, I would come back again. Thank you Dr and Debbie. read more

Always enjoy seeing Dr. Kuo, so friendly and has such a nice office. I used to hate going to see the dentist for fear of having a cavity.

Now going to the dentist isn't so scary! read more

Dr. Kuo and Vanessa are the best ! They go the extra mile to make sure everything I need gets done. For example Vanessa helped copy my insurance information so I would have it for the specialist I was referred to, and they even printed out my wisdom teeth x-ray so I wouldn't have to have it repeated. Dr. Kuo is a great dentist with a great bedside manner and he takes the time to explain things in detail very openly and honestly. They are also very accommodating, I was working on a tight schedule and they did everything they could so that I could have dental work done. I couldn't ask for anything more. read more

Dr. Kuo saw me recently for a 2nd opinion/consultation after another dentist said I needed a gum filling and antibiotic rinse. I didn't understand the need for all these procedures when it had never been brought up to me my dentist in my home state. After evaluation he determined that those extra procedures were not medically necessary for my teeth. I was relieved but also thankful he wasn't money driven to try and undertake those procedures himself. I will definitely come return to his office. He's a young an upcoming dentist who is worth your time and trust. read more

Writing my first ever Yelp review on Doctor Kuo. I visited his dental clinic last Sunday for filling a cavity. The clinic was easy to find, clean and bright. Staff were nice. Everything looked brand new. Doctor Kuo was patient and professional. He didn't forget to ask me how did I feel. My cavity was big. Doctor Kuo filled it beautifully. The price was fair. He said he had given me a discount so I didn't bargain (bring cash). Although I drove two hours back and forth for this visit, it was totally worth it. read more
