I really don't like giving reviews except when it's so outstanding that I must share. Dr. Lee has been nothing but professional and great to work with. For those who don't care to read my case underneath, here's a shorter version.
TL:DR VERSION:
1. He's an amazing orthodontist and always made sure I understood the entire process.
2. Great and relatable family man.
3. His staff was so warm and welcoming each time, from the front to the back staff.
4. His results met and even exceeded my expectations (look at my before and after).
5. Prices were very reasonable (I can't trust too cheap lol) and he is very accommodating when it came to broken brackets or wires.
6. I always recommend him to friends who are interested, with a couple who are now his clients.
7. Will bring my kids here for sure.
8. He still checks up on me periodically to see how my teeth is doing and I love that genuinely.
THE LONG VERSION:
Prior to having David as my doctor, I had consultations with 3 other doctors. One said I needed jaw reconstruction, others were ridiculously priced. So when I met David through a friend referral who also had great results, I was surprised to find out he was able to help my special cross-bite case and for a reasonably decent price too!
When I scheduled an appt to see him, I came to realize that it was only him there, so I was glad that he made time to see me even on his day off. He was very warm and inviting. After analyzing my situation he was truthful and told me that though my case was difficult, if I trust him, he would not only straighten my teeth but also fix my cross-bite. So I trusted him. He had asked me what rates I've been quoted and not only did he beat them , he even gave me a discount on the clear brackets so I wouldn't be walking around with a metal grill at the age of 34 lol.
Prior to my first appt with him, he addressed to me that I had a few cavities to take care of with my primary dentist as well as a cleaning as it would be the best thing to do before having my brackets be put on. He fully explained the whole entire process and with each visit, explained to me what was going on with my specific case. Eg. One week he would tell me I would need a thicker band to help with the shifting, another he would tell me to wear bands in certain locations because it would begin the cross-bite alignment, etc. I was never in the dark and always knew the reasoning for each visit.
I must say, not only was he a great personable doctor, but his staff made me feel like family, no joke. I knew their names, they knew mine, we talked about our families, and they always remembered my conversation from the previous visits! David, if you're reading this, please know that I loved your staff and they always made it pleasurable to come in even though it was always busy. They all deserve a raise! Lol.
I work a regular 9-5 and I live in LA so I could only see him on the weekends. But without hesitation, there were many times where my brackets broke, and he was very understanding and came in on off days/hours to see me! I really appreciated that, it showed me he cared about his patient's well-being.
Overall, in due time, I saw very pleasing results. I have always wanted braces since I was in HS but too poor to afford them. It really shunted my self-esteem and I'm so glad I found such a great doctor as himself to give me so much more confidence. Before I was very reluctant to smile or even laugh, but now, I laugh and smile so much that girls always compliment my nice perfect smile (with no cross-bite). Thank you Dr. Lee, I can't wait to have kids and bring them to you. You are like family. But for now, I'll just bring up your name whenever anyone asks for an amazing orthodontist. TYVM. read more
