Today I saw Dr. Wu, who patiently explained the current solutions for my teeth and suggested that I wear a night brace to relieve the grinding. He believes I still have time to continue observing.

This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

First I was pressures to get the crown when I felt perfectly fine, no symptoms. NOTHING! She was said the filled cavity was "too big" so what?! I had no pain... until... she put the new crown, no root canal just a new crown. Struggling to even put it on... left a hunk of cement in between my teeth. I was feeling a lot of nerve pain that even shot over to the other side of my mouth. I called the dentist and they kept saying it was just an adjustment period. I've had crowns and this was never the case. Long story short they said they are going to refer me to a root canal specialist that goes to their office. Red flag! After a month of pain and waiting he ends up saying it's normal pressure sensitivity. Stupid me just wanting to not have a root canal drilled into my new crown( what kinda backwards dentistry practice is this! ) yeah! You heard that right! She was telling me I might need a root canal after she put a brand new crown on) the "root canal specialist" ended up saying I don't need one. Probably just covering for her....but I was just happy to get out of there. I was/am soooo traumatized... Now I need to find a new hopefully trustworthy dentist...ps I was so traumatized I have not gone back to a dentist since 2 years. The pain finally subsided after 6 months probably because my nerve endings finally died.... I'm so upset.... So much money wasted just cuz this greedy dentist wanted to make money on a crown that wasn't even needed in the first place. First red flag was the secretary was having me sign papers for payment before I was even out of the chair! Also, she suggested Invisalign which would have been another 3-5 thousand for two measly crooked teeth I have. Who cares?! I'm not trying to be a model... Awful awful praying on peoples vulnerabilities and fears when going to the dentist.. so hard to find a good one. like I said, I don't really want to write this review but after my expensive crown popped out after two years???!!!! For reference I have another crown that is 20 years old. For your sake and your wallets sake! DO NOTcome here. Scammers and bad quality work Pps... The assistant didn't even know how to put a BP cuff on me.she was doing it backwards until I showed her. Too busy yapping with the dentist... SMH

From there she would not answer the phone even on my refferal doctors EMAIL NEVER CAME ON MY PERSON EMAIL END OR THE DOCTORS END. WE EXPLAINED TO HER TIME & TIME AGAIN I COULD NOT RECEIVE TREATMENT WITHOUT THIS REFERRAL EMAIL SENT. So then she finally answers the phone & says she'll send it on text she sends me a blank referral form! It's almost laughable that she sent a blank referral form. She did it on purpose because she enjoys making things difficult for people. As a result of her not sending the email & playing games sending me blank refferal form I was forced to leave my appointment. From the time I asked her to please send over the referral to the time. She finally sent the correct one almost 2 &1/2 hours had passed. Very unnecessary and I really don't appreciate sending me a blank referral form as a joke she had already been so rude at that point very disturbed receptionist I will say.

7/5/23 The dreaded dentist chair awaits!!…read more How do you feel about crowns...or a root canal? I've had both & they're no fun at all. I always picture white-knuckling it...whether anticipatory or actual, again, both for me. It's no secret, most people find the dentist visits to be nerve wracking. Today I needed a revision on two crowns placed years ago by the previous dentist that occupied this space, Dr. James Surdilla-miss him dearly, he's moved away. I dreaded it. Maria, their trusted receptionist extraordinaire, ready with her wit & banter, "Okay , Jennifer, just take a seat while they prepare the torture chamber". I appreciate a great sense of humor & it comforted me that they're very friendly & efficient, too. Janet prepared with dental X-rays and was informative & forthcoming. Enter Dr. Susie Kim, with an easy smile & reassuring words. She explained my procedure well. Anticipatory anxiety started to roll in but was alleviated after the needle I barely felt was done doing its job-to numb the area. After all that's said & done, was quoted an hour & a half-almost precise, I'm impressed! I'm not saying that I will stop gripping the dentist chair like a boa constrictor & its prey...but perhaps I will let go a tiny bit to give it a break. I shall return for the permanent crown in a couple of weeks. In the meantime, no eating or chewing anything sticky or hard, gargle with warm saltwater for 24 hours. After paying for my co-pay, Janet gave me the breakdown w/o me asking for it, I appreciated that. Note: If the drill gets to loud, request for earplugs, Dr. Kim offered them-nice lady! It's surprising I would give 5 stars for a dental practice but they do deserve it.
