    First of all, I am surprised that I have never rated my experiences with Dr. Gutierrez and his…read morestaff. While living in Whittier (2009-2017), I worked in Beverly Hills as an office manager for a private dermatology practice. I knew I could receive a word-of-mouth (excuse the pun) recommendation with the expectation of a professional courtesy. However, I did not believe/feel I had major dental concerns, and I was not seeking to capitalize on perks since I had a PPO insurance plan. After doing some research, I found Dr. Gutierrez's office to be accommodating regarding my main objective: teeth whitening. His staff was open and honest when I called to make sure the office was a good fit. I found them straightforward and said they do perform teeth whitening; however, I would still need an initial exam. I did not find this approach erroneous. Why? I intended to utilize my insurance whenever feasible and cover any costs not covered by it personally. Putting it into perspective: taking my PPO out of the equation, a plastic surgeon will not automatically perform a cosmetic procedure at a person's request. A radiology center would not automatically perform a CAT scan of an individual's brain if they walked in off the street with a headache and agreed to pay for it. Why? Medical facilities do not work that way. Invasive cosmetic procedures or noninvasive tests fall within the spectrum of medical procedures and are typically performed by certified specialists; therefore, one can expect bureaucracy, red tape, and ethical considerations in medical care. If not an emergency, delays can be frustrating. But when pain and costs are involved, everyone's time is precious, so expectations of being accommodated can be subjective, even though patients are not to be blame for their issues. Therefore, implementing proper management when 'risks' are involved is crucial (I will revisit this issue at the end of my review). I was due for an oral tune-up (x-rays, cleaning, and consultation of recommendations). I chose to open up and address concerns about past dental issues. In 2004, for several months, I had a documented history of trigeminal neuralgia, which ended up being related to my 2005 confirmed thyroid cancer and not a cavity filling as initially thought. The filling was the least of my concerns compared to the many other neck/head medical issues I needed to address during those months/years. And so, upon our first meeting, I finally addressed any problem I had been evading (since I was in a 'safe' place) when Dr. Gutierrez was surprised to find a crater in one of my molars. The neglected molar was one issue, but I had wisdom teeth that could have interfered with my dental health (I knew this before establishing my dr/patient relationship with Dr. Gutierrez). He performed my teeth whitening and handled root canal treatments. Eventually, I signed up for Invisalign because costs were always my excuse for not getting braces. Although costs were no longer a factor, Invisalign was less expensive, less time-consuming, but also less permanent, because braces meant I had to have my canines pulled. After so many years of medical issues, less invasive meant more. The Invisalign option met my aesthetic interests on all levels. The only reason why I stopped seeing Dr. Guiterrez in early 2019 is that I permanently moved to Northern California. Bottom line, regardless of the number of my outpatient treatments, I found Dr. Gutierrez to have an excellent bedside manner and expertise. Again, having worked in the medical field, but more importantly, I have also been a patient who has suffered misdiagnosis (deemed as malpractice, but I chose not to sue), as patients, we deserve our dignity. Still, that being said, I did not find it offensive when his staff discussed aspects of my care (e.g., explaining the costs of procedures (billing), obtaining my signed consent, confirming follow-up availability options, scheduling the appointments, or checking in to explain whenever there may have been wait times). I acknowledge that some people may not have a good rapport with a professional, or that mistakes may occur that makes better sense for a patient to seek care from another professional; however, what I am stating from my experience throughout the years I was a regular patient is that there was no pattern of nefarious treatment or substandard care by Dr. Guiterrez and his staff. Anyone seeking medical treatment should always be aware that they have the right to a second opinion and should never apologize for seeking one. Still residing in No. Cal. I think of Dr. Guitierrez often and have contemplated traveling to reestablish my patient-physician relationship; however, I know that dentists are at the top of the list for evaluations and treatment should pain or emergencies be involved, and that evaluations and treatment cannot/should not wait; therefore, I have chosen to just keep my fond memories.

    I was looking for a new dentist and decided to call this office after seeing so many great reviews…read moreon Yelp. Unfortunately, my experience did not reflect those reviews. When I called, the receptionist answered and I asked about becoming a new patient and whether they accepted my insurance. I explained that I wasn't sure of my insurance provider, and instead of offering help, she responded, "If you don't know, how am I supposed to know?" I found that response dismissive and unprofessional. I then asked if she could possibly look it up using my information, but she declined and simply told me I needed to know my insurance. No guidance, no alternatives, and no attempt to assist. A more helpful and courteous response--like suggesting I contact my employer or offering to help once I had the information--would have made a big difference. Instead, the interaction felt abrupt and unwelcoming. First impressions matter, and this experience was disappointing, especially given the positive reviews. Unfortunately, it makes me hesitant to move forward with this office.

Dr. Dominicis was so patient and kind, helping my son feel comfortable the whole time.

She put anesthesia at 2pm on me and left to go work on another patient. She came back to me at 2:50pm I had to be at work and I had to cancel because now I have to wait for my treatment to be done. Care quality is not there. I'm sorry but with me it has been a bad experience. I had a root canal done on 4/3/25 and I had a very bad reaction to the liquid that they use to work on the tooth. And the day after my treatment my face was swollen and I got a big bruise. See I understand doctors have a lot of patients, but if they work around a schedule, and we work on a schedule to make our days go as smoothly as possible, shouldn't they keep the time frame they give us? I had to miss work unnecessarily, if they would have worked on me as planned, I would have been out in time to make it to work....

The…read moredentist has always been a touchy topic for me, but I feel so lucky that I can get care at a place that is invested in me. Dr. Cody is funny, gentle and kind. He has got the best personality and I look forward to all my appointments with him. He provides great care and does it so personably. Dr. Barry is knowledgeable and performed a difficult root canal that went quickly and smoothly. Alyssa, my hygienist is so sweet and when she performs my cleaning has the delicate touch needed while doing a thorough job. Office manager Liz is always helpful and I look forward to catching up with her when I check-in. I highly recommend coming to this location. I've been a patient of modern dentistry for over 10 years and when this location opened closer to home I was nervous I wouldn't like it. I'm so glad I do and as long as this staff is still there I will continue to be a loyal patient. Also note parking can be tough at later times because it is a busy shopping center. Facility itself is a brand new build, rooms have always been clean and I've always felt safe under their care. Highly recommend the gum laser treatment! My dental health has improved since coming to this location.

    Really disappointed because I had been here before without issues, which is why I came back…read more When I checked in, they asked if my insurance was still the same, and I confirmed I still have Delta Dental through my employer (I've been with my employer for 3 years). Based on that conversation and my prior visits, I had no reason to think there would be a problem. Later, I found out I was assigned to an out-of-network provider, even though there were in-network providers in the office. That was never clearly explained to me beforehand. They also did imaging that my insurance only covers at certain intervals, and no one told me beforehand that it likely wouldn't be covered. I ended up paying $872 out of pocket, which I did not expect. If I had known any of this up front, I would've made different decisions. Just frustrating overall because I returned based on prior good experiences and left feeling blindsided by the cost and lack of communication. I'd recommend people double-check exactly who they're seeing and what procedures are covered before agreeing to anything.
