We were referred to Dr. Jean Chan by our lactation consultant for our 5-month-old son to be…read moreevaluated for a tongue and lip tie. From the very beginning, Dr. Chan was incredibly thorough. She explained the process in a way that made it easy to understand, walked us through what recovery would look like, and made sure we felt completely comfortable with the post-procedure exercises. She emphasized that the decision was 100% ours to make, based on her expert recommendations, and we never felt pressured. When she took him back for the frenectomy, we were nervous -- but when she returned, he wasn't even crying. In fact, he looked instantly relieved, which gave us so much peace of mind. The precision of the laser she used clearly made a difference, and thanks to her guidance and our consistency with the stretches, his recovery went really smoothly. The entire office was warm and welcoming. The nurses were sweet, and the space is decorated in such a fun, kid-friendly way. A week after his procedure, when we came in for a follow-up, Dr. Chan even took a photo of him in his cute little outfit to share on her office's social media. That small gesture made the experience feel even more personal and thoughtful. Highly recommend Dr. Chan to any parent looking for a provider who is both professional and compassionate. We felt seen, supported, and most importantly, our baby is doing so much better now.

Honestly - look elsewhere for your children. I have been here several times with my children and…read moresomehow always feel like I am inconveniencing them by being there. Their waiting room is terrible, zero toys, a few plastic chairs - it is not a good environment for children to start out when they are nervous for the dentist. I went recently with my 2.5 and decided it would be my last visit with them - During the exam I was told by one of the female dentists (who was very rushy and unfriendly) that my 2.5 year old son had 4 cavities total, two of which required pulpectomys and that he should be fully sedated for his fillings. I was extremely uncomfortable with putting my young kid to sleep so I decided to consult a different dental office. The other dentist was patient and kind, he looked throughly at my son's teeth. He informed me that he only has 2 cavities and that they could be taken care of easily (no pulpectomy needed). I asked him if he needed to be sedated and he said, "absolutely not." He said he would never want to sedate a young kid for only 2 cavities, when they can easily be done in the office with laughing gas. I honestly feel like the dentist here was just trying to make extra money off me. Why sedate my child and do a full pulpectomy when he didn't need it?!? Do you research before you come here because you may be paying way more for unnecessary treatments.

Firstly, the aesthetics of the inside were beautiful! Modern-look, but homely feel and truly a hidden gem in La Mesa. This office needs updated photos here in Yelp to reflect this! The front desk was very friendly and patient in helping me with check-in as a new patient, despite being a busy time at the office when I arrived. Shout out to Arlene and Belina! I had my teeth cleaned by the hygienist, Shaleen, and she was wonderful! So caring and welcoming. Before she cleaned by teeth she also explained what my X-rays were showing just to know my baseline and what the office will continue to monitor. They have really high-tech gear at this office and she was able to do imaging right there in the chair as well! I needed a few things done, not just a cleaning, and feel like I saw the whole office in one day. Which I am glad to have received the full experience because it just solidified how awesome this practice is! The dental assistants I saw, Trina and Mary, were very kind and helpful to explain each step of the process. I really appreciate the transparency of the staff. Dr. Le is very caring and thorough with the exam. He made me feel very comfortable and warmly welcomed me as a new patient as well. I am very glad my family has found this hidden gem and highly recommend for patients needing good, comprehensive care out here in East County!

Their office was recommended by a close friend who goes here. I booked an initial consultation over a month out. Unfortunately, my appointment was cancelled the morning of my appointment due to miscommunication between the staff. The treatment coordinator, Ilene, was so rude and condescending to me that I can not in good faith work with this office going forward. Any points she had about why my appointment needed to be cancelled at the last minute were lost by her inconsiderate tone. I hope she was just having a bad day and that she doesn't treat others the way I was treated. Such a bummer because I was really looking forward to working with them.

My son had a tooth where his gum line was completely recessed that I was worried about and my regular dentist isn't pediatric. I called some other pediatric dentist from yelp and they were 2 months out on appts. I got an appt here for the next day. The office staff was GREAT! They are so nice. Their forms are easy to complete online. They send appt reminders via text so very easy to work with. I took my son first because of the concerns I had and they took him back without me. Remember he is only 4. He came back out super happy and had no issues getting x-rays and a cleaning. I had to schedule an appt to have the tooth pulled. I then made that appt for a month later as well as a cleaning appt for his twin sister for the following week. Again they took her back and did x-rays and cleaned her teeth without me and she was great. So now both my kids love the dentist. They get a toothbrush, they get a toy, they love this place. Now my daughter is upset that her brother "gets to go to the dentist today" and she doesn't. Today was my sons appt to have his tooth pulled and I had tears in my eyes because he was so excited to go and I knew he was going to have to get the needle in his gums and would be traumatized by the dentist from now on. To my pleasant surprise, he got his tooth pulled and still loves the dentist! He wants to go back to have another tooth pulled ‍. Overall I am very happy with this place so far. Also they had a Bible in the waiting room which was a pleasant surprise to me given the times we are in. I def recommend this place for small children.
