First before I made an appointment I looked at previous reviews and one of them made me raise an eyebrow as they were complaining about $50 and the dentist being too blunt.... The response from the business is what won me over. First off I want blunt in all my medical visits. If I finally broke my stubbornness to go to the doctor then it means I want the blunt truth. My visit was for a painful molar (previous root canal) and possible cavity. Daniel comes off as really someone that cares about the quality of care and you getting the best possible treatment. People like Daniel set the benchmark how every dentist doctor should be. If you ever went to the doctor and felt he had other agendas then it's probably time to find a professional like Daniel. Innovation is another term I will use here as it's very rare to find a dentist who spends time research ways to make procedures better and taking the time to research and keep track of the other referral doctors/dentists that treat you down the line. He has been known to travel with a patient in town of need to make sure they were given the attention needed to resolve a serious issue. Hats of to professionals like Daniel that set the benchmark for medical excellence. Btw his staff is super nice very professional and feel like they are part of the family then just some medical assistant. I HIGHLY recommend him! read more

When you walk into this dental office you're immediately greeted by Liz. She is a such a kind and gentle young lady. When I called for an appointment, she was equally as kind. Dr. Cheng is thorough and knowledgeable. I brought my nine year old who is petrified of dentist and Mr. Cheng was patient with him. Grateful to find such a great dentist. read more

I have been going to Dr. Cheng since he moved into his Las Tunas office, even though I live in Tehachapi, over a two-hour drive away. I was willing to drive this far because he came so highly recommended by my former dentist who retired. I recently asked him to handle dental work for my husband, who was told by a dentist in Tehachapi that he needed dentures. Dr. Cheng did a fabulous job of adjusting my husband's work to encompass four implants and a new partial so that he did not have to have dentures. I have always found Dr. Cheng to be extraordinarily competent and skillful, as there seems to be nothing he cannot do. My teeth are very important to me, and I feel completely confident in Dr. Cheng to keep them in their best condition. His staff is great, too! read more

Dr. Cheng has been my dentist for over 2+ years already since he was the only one that accommodated when I needed to have my wisdom tooth taken out due to an emergency. Hes a very reliable dentist, and tells it to me straight that I need to take care of my teeth more. Both him and my wife are patients of his. The staff is very nice as well and quite informative about questions you may have. I would recommend Dr. Cheng as a family dentist. He'll listen to your concerns and will straight up be honest with you. read more

Daniel D Cheng, DDS - Oral Surgeons Near Me - San Gabriel, California

I am looking at the reviews and noticed a few bad ones. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions based on their personal experience. But let me tell you about the feedback he has received by multiple oral surgeons (3 to be exact) that I have consulted with to find the right highly qualified TMJ surgeon. I spent a lot of cash for consult with these oral surgeon specialists. Every time I told the story of how the tumor was found, each surgeon were very impressed. I stated that the family dentist decided to rule out any medical conditions before prepping my daughter for braces due to the fact that she has an asymmetrical jaw line that has been observed and was being monitored. To make the story short, surgery and biopsy was done on a very delicate area (TMJ location next to the brain & ear canal) on my daughter. He is not a cash grab kind of dentist. Yes, he only takes PPO and there are out of pocket cost. It is all based on your insurance coverage, deductible, co-pay, and cost sharing. There are services such as CT scans or ceramic filling that may not covered. That is an insurance thing and not a dentist thing. To avoid surprises on cost, you should ask for an estimate and check with the insurance before your service. read more

Dr. Cheng has been my family's dentist for the past decade. Whether it's a cleaning, removing a wisdom tooth, filling a cavity, doing a root canal or oral surgery, it is done with the utmost care, efficiency and as comfortable as such procedures can possibly be. Unlike other dentists who sees multiple patients at a time, there's only you. Everything in his office is done with his patients in mind. New equipment, renovated, cleanliness- you name it, it's there. Having practiced for two decades, you won't have to question whether or not he has the experience, unlike new dentists that pop up, of course he does- that's a given. Whether you're 5 years old or 80 years old, he's the Dr I would go to. read more

Daniel is the best dentist I've ever had. He approaches dentistry with a passion that I don't really see or feel. It's not just a business for him, it's like a fine watchmaker into his art, if you will. He's always super thorough. I've moved away a few times in the two decades he's been my dentist and noone really compares in terms of skill, honesty, and genuine interest in the work. I would highly recommend him to anyone. He's always learning and becoming a better dentist though his continued learning of the latest technology and skills, never sitting idle in terms of growth. read more

Been our family dentist for the past 20+ years - Dr. Daniel has the highest standards for his patients and his work and effort shows. Can't recommend him enough. read more

Dr Cheng is the best dentist I have ever met. He is very detail and passionate about his work. Polite and very thorough and patience with his clients. The clinic is very clean Lis is very joyful and easy to deal with Talking about implants. I had two dentist experience that's was not too pleasant and lacking of things needs to have. Sadly. Since I met Dr Cheng. It's totally Day and night. I had referred few friends and my wife and son are all switched over to Dr Cheng He does lots community services for the poors. Lots respect! Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Cheng really not a good dentist. I had a very bad experience. The ordeal was a nightmare. Both crown and night guard are not proper suited for me. To make the long stories short, my right face puffy up and many days cannot sleep at night. At night time, my right-side hand / arm is numb. Almost 2 months I suffer. I look for help with another dentist. He introduces me to use a night guard. The cost for the night guard is very high more than 2K even Irvine only charge $250 I ware it at night, I can not close my mouth, make my throat thirsty until right face puffy up. I call regard this and still give me an appointment one week later. When arrive at office. Dr Cheng ask me if it is hurting? I said no then he says this is not his problem, he only fixes tenth. He suggested me to use or inject Botox or eat liquid foods for some time (one year). After hearing this I lost all confident on this doctor. read more

Overall experience I would say this place deserves a 3 to 3.5 stars.The reason is because I prefer my dentist to be friendlier. Now don't get me wrong, dr.cheng seemed very skillful, passionate, and knowledgeable about his work but what pushed me away is just the fact that he came off as too strong or blunt. I was looking around Alhambra, Monterey park, and San Gabriel to find a trustworthy, and good oral surgeon to extract my teeth to get ready for orthodontic treatment and I happen to find this place through Yelp because of the good reviews. At first impression, it seemed to me that this office was very smart about how they consult their patients. For example, I called the office and asked for the price for a consultation and they claimed that it was free and I made the appointment and went in for my first consultation & guess what? The doctor just told me to ask my orthodontist to send over the x rays and he'll evaluate them and call back so I went home and called my orthodontic office and told them to email to dr.cheng. I waited a couple of days and I still received no calls from this office so I called back and he said to come in again to evaluate the x rays that was sent over. I came in for my second visit but I had to pay a initial fee of 50$ for consultation. Boom there goes my 'free consultation'. Another thing is that after my evaluation with dr.cheng he quoted me on the extraction of each tooth and it was actually 'pricier' compared to the other dental offices I visited. I'm sure his skill is flawless and that is probably the reason for his prices to be slightly more expensive but I just decided to finish the rest of my dental work at another office and it actually did save me a couple of hundreds with a safe and speedy recovery as well! Overall, I mean honestly we could've just done a quick check up on the first visit but it seemed to me that he didn't want to spend 'unnecessary' time to just do a couple of quick x rays and tell me about what I needed to work on during my first visit. But I will give it to them that their office is very clean, classic, and has a very friendly front desk employee! EDIT: As I mentioned earlier, don't get me wrong. First of all, 50$ wasn't the issue but the issue was that I felt uncomfortable & felt belittled throughout my previous two visits. At the end of my second visit, I waited for the doctor to explain more details about the treatments I needed because I was going to leave unsure of what needed to be done and all I got was the same result, which is being "brushed off". I believe I deserve the right to know more details and is that so much to ask for?? Well anyways after my review the doctor called me randomly a couple weeks later and tried to explain himself in a very blunt way. I believe the misunderstanding we have here comes from that "I'm angry about my money for the consultation" but that is not the case. To be honest, the only issue I have is that I prefer a friendlier Dental office that is able to walk me through my whole procedure of getting extractions. But now I already extracted the extra teeth and I'm nearly 4 months into having braces and I actually didn't have to extract as much teeth as I was advised to from this office. So that saved me a couple hundreds. read more

Best dentist in sgv. Super detailed!!! I'm very particular about everything... Making my appointment, professionalism of the receptionist, how long is my wait time, and how detailed and how professional is the work. I have to say that Daniel exceeds all my expectations and more. I am also very scared of pain, plus high anxiety really doesn't helps things, but Daniel makes my time there seamless and I'm never afraid to go back to see him, unlike some of the dentist i've seen in the past. If your looking for a very professional and someone who gets the job done correct, Daniel is the best!!! read more

This is the best dentist in all of the SGV, hands-down no questions asked. I've always had a paralyzing fear of the dentist, since the first time I went to one. To the point where I would delay a visit for AS LONG AS POSSIBLE But Dr. Cheng and his amazing assistant Shirleen (I hope I spelled your name right!!!) changed that. I've just gotten two stitches today for two extractions, and I've happily arranged another meeting next week. If you want detailed service, non judgmental advice, and quick efficient dental work done, look no further. Yelp needs to let me give this place 100stars, instead of a measly 5 star review. THANK YOU SHIRLEEN & DR.CHENG! - Unless pain and crackpot dentists are your thing, then who am I to judge! read more

Went here for a teeth cleaning, staff was nice and informative. Dr. Cheng is great, he answered all my questions and was very straight forward. I appreciated that he was. Setting up an appointment was easy and they work with you schedule. I didn't have to wait long when I arrived unlike other dentists I've had before. Overall great experience with Dr. Cheng and his staff. read more

Dr. Cheng is the only dentist I feel comfortable with. I normally fear the dentist and when I used to leave for my appointments, I would always wonder if I should just suck up the pain and cancel my appointment. This is never the case anymore, he spots all of my teeth problems and fixes them for me. I had this tooth that drove me crazy because the pain was intolerable and consistent. It took a few months to fix but it was completely worth it, my teeth have never felt better. One thing I really like about him is that he's still passionate about what he does (sadly, most dentists that I've seen don't seem interested in what they do anymore and have changed their career into a job). He has all these cool gadgets that he uses, he has this thing that reads the color of your tooth, amazing right?! Dr. Cheng will notice everything...and when I say everything, I mean it. He can tell if I skip flossing or brushing for one night -_______- Also, his assistant Shirlee is great! She's very friendly and helpful. Don't be afraid to call :) read more

An update on the night guard - I have been wearing Dr. Cheng's custom night guard for the past 6-7 months and I have noticed my tinnitus has completely gone away. This is a testimonial that teeth alignment is important to overall health. Thank you, Dr. Cheng. read more

I've been going to Dr Cheng for over 10+ years. He was the ONLY dentist who was able to make a night guard to fit comfortably and help me figure out my jaw problems! I still drive from South OC to come up and see him. He looks for the root of the problem and doesn't do a quick fix to get you out of the office for the next patient. Super knowledgeable. Many of my family members and friends all goto Dr Cheng. read more

Very professional and customer oriented staffs. Dr. Cheng is very knowledgeable and professional.

Daniel Cheng is someone who is very full of himself and always criticizing other dentists. I do not want to comment on whether he is professional or not(because all I have to say about him is very negative and it'll take up too much space), but he would always make sure to let you know that he is BETTER than all the other dentists and that's why you should NEVER question about his fees according to him!!! A friend and I were both very unhappy with his unprofessionalism and inappropriate ethics, and we hope that our honest opinion would help the other customers. read more

I have had serious periodical headache since a few years ago. I have seen many docs but no one can figure out what the cause is. About two years ago, Dr. Cheng found out I have issue of grinding teeth. He pointed out if I don't work on the issue, it would go worse and might cause a lot problem, including headache. He made me a mouth guard for night use, and provided detail instructions of how to use it, clean it, etc. The month guard fits me very well, so that very comfortable. He re-checks my mouth guard, and adjusts/recalibrates it if needed, every time I visit him for other oral check or treatment. I know my teeth are 'shifting' along the time. What Dr. Cheng has been doing is to make sure the mouth guard fits me well and minimizing the uncomfortableness while wearing it. I really appreciate it- not only the effort he has put in, but also the mindset of caring patents. Surprisingly, after a few months since I wear the mouth guard, my headache was gone. I didn't expect that at all. Dr. Cheng is very professional. His knowledge and experience make me trust him. Sometimes he is a bit perfectionistic, but what is wrong with that as a dentist? read more

Dr. Cheng is by far one of the best dentist and medical professional I've visited. I've had some unpleasant experiences with dentists who are either incompetent (I got an infection from her rough cleaning), dishonest (told me I had to redo old fillings immediately), or always tardy (loooong waits)... But the whole experience with Dr. Cheng was smooth and pleasant -- from the appointment scheduling, to checking insurance, to the office itself, and to Dr. Cheng himself. Great bedside manner, doesn't try to "sell" you unnecessary treatments. I'm so glad we found Dr. Cheng and he's close by. read more

If your like me, then you are terrified of the dentist. As a young child, the mere thought of going to see one scares me. In your head you think PAIN, but not with Dr. Cheng. After having braces taken out (young), I didn't go to the dentist for years, unless something was wrong. Little did I know, that dental hygiene is a very important, not just medical health. I needed my wisdom teeth taken out and was referred to him by a friend. And now I'm a changed person. He is very good at what he does, attentive, meticulous, caring, and very friendly. I have no doubt in my mind that he doesn't put 110% with each patient. I've been coming to Dr. Cheng for the last 9 years. I highly recommend him to anyone. I'm glad I have a set dentist to go to. read more

Looks clean on the outside but this office reuses their bags for their mirrors and tools. That's disgusting. The doctor is arrogant and rude. He acts educated but doesn't have any manners. The prices are ridiculous and the office is bland. Not coming back. Avoid this place at all costs. They're cheap and dirty. read more

Been coming here for years now. Daniel is a true professional not a hack job like some other dentist I've been too. He did and implant for me and it came out great. I would recommend him to all my friends. read more

Let me just state up front that I hate going to the dentist. In all my 37 years of life I have only had my teeth cleaned twice. My wife first went to Dr Cheng about 3 years ago and suggested I see him. Well, I have had my teeth cleaned 4 times since then which is a great compliment to Dr Cheng. Being that I am in the medical field, I am very particular in picking someone that will be stabbing me with syringes. He is a real stand up and honest guy. Unlike most dentists, he spends the time to talk and shoot the breeze which makes things much more comfortable. We talk about everything from pool cleaners to home construction. He never seems rushed and his office is meticulous. Great dentist! 6 stars. read more

I've seen over half a dozen of dentists over my life and for the last 18 years, I would not let anyone else except Dr Cheng to work on my teeth. Even living in Northern Cal city, I arrange time to fly into Southern California to have Dr Cheng do my teeth. He's a perfectionist and always take a scientifically sound approach to treating me. He never once did anything that would fix the problem for the short term gain. He'd do whatever it takes to solve the problems including working on the weekend when I had a problem that I couldn't wait. Dr Cheng truly understands dentistry and cares tremendously about his patients. I highly recommend him. read more

Both me and my husband have been seeing Dr. Cheng for our dental care for years and we absolutely love him. He is very professional and cares a great deal of his patients. He educates us on how to care for our teeth and takes his time listening to our concerns, answering our questions and explaining the type of work he needs to perform. Also he is very calm and has a great sense of humor. His office staff is very friendly and works with us on scheduling, insurance coverage and payments. The office is clean and neat. Overall Dr. Cheng and his staff make each of our dental appointment pleasant. We highly highly recommend him. read more

Found dr Cheng on Yelp. Based on his amazing review on Yelp, I want to see what's the hype all about. Booked an appointment for a deep cleaning. Staff was nice and friendly. Dr Cheng was a very friendly man. He explain every little details about my teeth and what needs to be done. Had my cleaning with him and asked him many questions...he sat there and explain every questions that I have. I really like dr. Cheng. He is thorough and very detail oriented. I totally recommend him as my dentist. He takes his time and make sure my teeth are clean. He is not any other pushy dentist... He actually take his time to make sure your teeth is perfect! Very patience guy! read more

One of the best dentist I have met, Dr. Cheng has been my dentist for over 8 years. He's knowledgable, caring, and honest. He thinks from the patient's perspective and will always give you the straight answer. One thing I really appreciate is getting the proper preventive care as I think it is one of the most important aspect of visiting a dentist. In this regard, Dr. Cheng has been great in identifying potential issues and offering his recommendations. His staffs are friendly and diligent. Overall, a good place to get proper care. read more

Dr. Cheng was highly recomended by a good friend. I had lots of dental problems in the past but I have not find a doctor I can truly trust until I met Dr. Cheng. I called his office for an emergency tooth ache. The staff was a sweetheart, she courteously scheduled me right away. Street parking was easy find. The office was clean and homey, my anxiously immediately went away... After filling out forms, the staff lead me in without waiting. I noticed there is no other doctor nor patience in the office, I later learned it was because Dr. Cheng only see one patient at a time and sees all his patients by himself! It's unheard of, I felt pampered. I was lead to a room overlooks the beautiful courtyard with grape wines and water fountain trickling in the background. For a second I thought I was on vocation, it was so peaceful...Few minutes later, Dr. Cheng greeted me, he was gentle and kind. He looked over my x-rays and informed me of the filling I need to remove and few cavities to fill. We chatted about my dental history and bad habits, he patiently answered all my concerns, we both decided on what to proceed and went straight to work. During the treatment he was gentle and patient, he took his time with every step, informed me accordingly. The procedure went smoothly, I almost fall asleep.. After the treatment was done, he took an hour of his time to educated me about my condition. I will need to rebuild my teeth because of sever grinding issue and years of abuse He suggested options for both long term and short term treatments, but did not push me for decision. He told me that a good dental treatment will raise my quality of life for a very long time. But it takes dedication and commitment from both the doctor and the patient to make it happen. I like how sincere and skilled Dr Cheng is, he is not pushy but simply give me all the useful knowledge I need to make best decision for myself. I know he cares deeply. My teeth has been pain free since, and I am constantly reminding myself what Dr Cheng said to me: "Good teeth is good life. We all need to take responsibility for our own health and happiness." The decision to visit Dr. Cheng was one of the best decision I've made. Finding a good doctor is as hard as wining lottery. I am very thankful to have found such wonderful doctor! And yes, I FLOSS every day! read more

You will not find a Dentist who is more straight-forward, competent, honest, and possess passion to share his knowledge on dental care. From my 15 yr old root canal procedure & crown which I still have today to my expanding family member needs, he has always shown his professionalism and expertise that is unmatched by other dentists. And I have been to many many dentists. Whether he is treating my 2 yr old or my 80 year old father, Dr. Cheng takes the time to educate his patients the process and possible outcome of the procedure. He has never rushed to usher us out of the office. On the contrary, he always spends extra time to make sure we are comfortable and the procedure is done well and thoroughly, and before we leave, enclosed detailed instructions for post procedure care. I'm extremely glad to call him my family dentists. THANK YOU! read more

Hi everyone, I really want to start off with the fact that I rarely rate on yelp unless a place really amazed me. The first thing I noticed was the wonderful and comforting way the rooms were designed. Dr. Cheng is by far the most knowledgable and caring dentist that I have ever been to. Before the visit.. I had gone to another dentist (didnt know aboit Dr. Cheng).. and this was actually for my son's very deep cavity. The other dentist took one quick look and dismissed my son because I'm guessing he did not want to DEAL with the damage.. or deal with a fussy kid. Dr cheng did not hesitate at all to reasure me that he would take care of my son. He was soooooo good with my son and extremely caring. My son ended up to be a better patient than I would ever be... lol. He did not squirm or fuss AT ALL and I give that to the professionalism of Dr. Cheng. His knowledge is beyond me and he takes all the time to explain the procedure and situation step by step making sure you are 110% on the same page. Truly amazing!! Also I want to mention he has top of the line equipment and his office is sparkling clean and organized. ok this review is running long... overall it was a WONDERFUL visit. tooth all done and I am so thankful I found Dr. Cheng and his staff. Will be referring him to all my friends and family. read more

Great experience and very friendly receptionists, me and my two girls are under Dr Cheng care for 2 years. He is very gentle and patient with my 3 and 5 years old. I am very happy with the service. read more

Dr. Cheng and his staffs are wonderful. He's extremely professional, knowledgeable, patient with all my questions. He is not satisfied with his work unless it is perfect. Two months ago, I had some dark build up on my teeth, couldn't brush it out myself, after one visit, it's all gone. I highly suggest this office. read more

I was referred to Dr. Cheng by one of family member since the dentist I was seeing for 9 years retired from business. The first visit to Dr. Cheng's office for a general checkup was a very pleasant. During the same visit, he was able to identify some issues with my jaw position which explained issue i have experienced over the years. He was able to provide solution for the problem. I would highly recommend Dr. Cheng to all my family members and friends. He is very professional and knowledgeable in his field. Thank you Dr. Cheng !!! read more

I have been seeing Dr Cheng for more than a decade. He has been a great dentist who is always on time. I have routine cleaning, root canel, and crown works done here. He always pays great attention to details and does all the work himself. He also continue to attend post doctor study to advance himself on weekends. Great dentist!! read more

Dr. Daniel Cheng's care for his patient really shows not only in his attitude but also in his work as well. His services (whether it be cleaning, filling, etc) are top notch and he is as professional as they come. I have been looking for a good dentist for a while and was extremely happy to have been referred to him by a close friend of mine. I highly recommend Dr. Cheng to anyone looking for a highly skilled dentist that also really cares for his patients. read more

Dr Cheng is the best dentist dentist that i have every been to. He is very professional and adamant about his work. He does all of his work by himself, down to my yearly cleaning and he would spend the extra time to make sure your everything is done right while most other dr would probably hurry to the next patient and have a rookie assistant to finish the detail for them. Bottom line if you want a caring dentist that cares about you, then Dr Cheng is place for your next visit. read more

My friend referred me to Dr. Daniel's office. I was very nervous for the first time visit, but Dr. Daniel was great and very comforting. He answered my questions patiently. I will recommend this office to others and will go back for my regular check-ups. read more

Great experience! I definitely will recommend my family and friends here. From speaking with Dr. Cheng, I can tell is knowledgeable and professional. I feel comfortable discussing issues about my teeth with him because I know he has my best interest in mind. read more
