Their phone simply doesn't work, been calling for days. It's been a month since they scanned my teeth to make retainers, have not heard nor can I reach them read more

Been going here for over a decade now and have always found the care to be great - they don't upsell you and give great dental care advice that I can actually do and has helped tremendously. read more

I hate coming here. I had a perfectly wonderful dentist but then my insurance changed and made this place my primary dentist. After 3 visits, I am definitely going to switch dentists for my next visit. Dr. Yang is terrible. He makes no effort to hide the fact that he hates being a dentist. He makes sarcastic and angry comments to his staff, as well as to some of the patients (you're lucky if you get that much interaction with him). The hygienists are friendly for the most part, and do ALL of the work. Dr. Yang floats down from his pedestal for all of 1 minute to peek into my mouth and tell me everything's fine. How do you know? You didn't even look! He literally spends most of his time lounging in his office with his feet on his desk watching TV. He doesn't even shut the door! I had a cavity once, and I'm pretty sure they wouldn't have noticed except that I told them myself that I had a cavity on one of my teeth because I could see a little black spot. They took a peek and were like, "Oh, what do you know, it IS a cavity!" Dr. Yang didn't feel like filling it so he made me make another appointment with Dr. Rozenovich, the other dentist at this office. TWO WEEKS and $150 later, I had a filling... (the silver amalgam was free, but after thorough research I decided to pay the $150 to upgrade to the composite filling) A good dentist should go over your X-rays with you, do a thorough inspection of your teeth, and discuss your specific dental situation and how to improve, what you've been doing right and what you've been doing wrong. Absolutely AWFUL!!! read more

They try to get you to pay extra for deep cleaning when it's not necessary (when I say 'try' I mean "do" - as they won't do a regular cleaning if they want you to have a deep one). They also have a history of inappropriately charging clients extra for ceramic fillings (instead of metal) on teeth that are covered by most insurance for ceramic (no extra $$). They had a bit of a scandal about it with regard to a bunch of UCI grad students who they basically frauded for an extra $200 per filling (which should have been free). I do think most of the people affected got refunds, but even just that it happened is offensive. Just like all California dental locations, they rely HEAVILY on x-rays to determine your dental health rather than actually looking around in there. They are also unwilling to give referrals for orthodontic work (despite my numerous requests). The front desk lady said they could make me a retainer and that I shouldn't bother with the orthodontist. Sounds to me like they're denying referrals because they're trying to make extra money for themselves. Oh, and if you get your dental cleaning done here, and want to have a filling done elsewhere (because they are going to charge you for things your insurance actually covers, for example), good luck getting a copy of the x-rays!!! read more

I had a chipped tooth repaired and my teeth cleaned today here, and I had a positive experience with Dr. Yang and his entire staff. Dr. Yang examined my teeth and x-rays and told me what needed work in the future when I was ready. I didn't feel any pressure and felt at ease so I decided to finally get a chipped tooth filled. The whole procedure was quick and painless. Dr. Yang's assistant Lisa was terrific and taught me something new and practical about flossing and brushing my teeth. Della in the front office was very pleasant and efficient in getting my appointment booked quickly and in checking on my insurance. I would highly recommend Dr. Yang and his staff at Irvine Dental Associates. read more

I'm really shocked by all the negative reviews here, enough that I feel compelled to give my review of this office... I've seen Dr. Yang for a couple years now for routine cleanings, and I have never had anything to complain about. Billing/insurance has always been handled correctly, wait times are never bad, and the employees (receptionist and dental assistants) I've interacted with here have always been polite, friendly and capable. I've also always had positive experiences with Dr. Yang, which makes the other reviews very surprising. He is what I would want and expect out of a dentist -- honest, skilled, and efficient. I'm blessed with pretty healthy teeth so I can't comment on other procedures besides regular cleanings. I will say though that I have been offered elective procedures since my teeth are aesthetically imperfect, but no one in the office has ever been pushy about it or made me feel obliged to opt in. I've had good enough experiences here that my immediate family now goes to see him, and they are happy campers too. read more

I have to agree with Rob. My boyfriend and I just left and had an amazing experience. The assistants and Dr. Edmund Yang were very nice, and very good at everything. They did my ex ray, the Doctor reviewed every area, both goods and bads. Areas to watch, told my boyfriend which tooth brush was appropriate and how to properly floss. So I'm not quiet sure what the negative is. I will follow up on Tuesday after I have my wisdom tooth pulled. read more

I was initially concerned by the bad reviews here, but I have had nothing but a positive experience with them. When I've had a few dental emergencies, they've been quick to find time to squeeze me in. Dr. Yang may put some people off with his dry humor and sarcasm, but he does a good job overall, and the rest of the staff and Della are kind and helpful. read more

I've been here a couple of times - first for a check-up, and then I returned today to get a "night guard" fitted, that was recommended in the first visit. I don't really understand all the negative reviews, although I guess nobody wants to visit a dentist in the first place, which might damp things. Both Dr Yang and the staff were courteous and friendly, and non-pushy. Dr Yang is a slightly nerdy guy, which might be confused with being antisocial or rude. This is not the case. And I'd prefer my dentist to be nerdy since that makes him more likely to know his stuff, which he certainly seems to. I have chronic pain in the area around my back teeth, top and bottom. I think his diagnosis and recommendation to use a night guard seems likely to be correct. This is in contrast to the last dentist I saw, who suggested the removal of three wisdom teeth, a painful and expensive procedure that did nothing to solve the problem. read more

Not that bad but not that good either. The customer service needs to improve and maybe then they will get 5 stars.

I have been to this office 3 times so far, once for a regular cleaning, once for a few cavities, and once to have a chipped front tooth bonded. Each time there has been a minimal wait, and the lady at the front desk is super nice and helpful. In terms of Dr. Yang and the hygienists I have interacted with, they make sure to tell you what they are going to do before each step, and are generally friendly. I asked a lot of questions my first visit and I felt like they were patient with me. I was pretty impressed when I got my cavities filled, because I was asked if I wanted to forgo the numbing shots due to the shallow nature of the cavities. I have never been offered that before, and I was pretty happy to accept it, as I hate shots and hate being numbed. This may not be for everyone, since we all have different pain thresholds, but it's certainly nice to have the option presented. Each cavity was filled in less that 10 minutes and was essentially painless. I think Dr. Yang did a great job. I had a chipped front tooth bonded as well, and that was also a good experience. It took about 25 minutes or so, and the fixed tooth is indistinguishable from the others in terms of color and shape. I wish I hadn't waited so long to get it fixed, because it looks so much better now and was completely painless to fix. I had gone to a dentist last year who told me it could end up being a very expensive procedure, that I might have to lose the tooth, etc. That was nonsense, and I'm glad I never followed up with them. Anyways, I am happy I found Dr. Yang, I think he's honest and a good dentist. read more

As the saying goes: You don't appreciate what you've got, until you lose it. The experience at this dental office made me appreciate how much my old dentist always kept his appointments and was always straightforward with the health of my teeth. I moved to Irvine for medical school and had to change dentists. Dr. Yang and his associates have canceled his appointments with me an hour before the actual appointment. After going in for the second appointment, I needed a third appointment just to clean my teeth! That has never happened before. I am switching dentists. There is a complete disregard for your time and how much time you have to take out of your schedule to meet with the dentist. Then, they tell you that they would like to work around your schedule. How about allotting sufficient time to clean teeth? It's not like I've never been to a dentist before and gotten my teeth cleaned. I am glad I didn't spend my hard-earned money at this business. Don't even bother with this guy and his smug hand-wavy attitude. read more

I'm giving this dentistry 1 star because the assistants have always been helpful. This dental office is under the practice of Edmund Yang and Grigory Rozenovich. When other people told me that I was paying too much for my dental services, I backed up this dentistry because I believed that they were giving me a better service and I trusted them having been here for 5 years. That is, UNTIL NOW. I have spent over $2,000 at this dental office within the last two years, especially on crowns. My last crown was completed in Jan. 09, where Dela (the one in charge of payments), told me over the phone that it was going to cost approx. $400 for my crown after my insurance coverage. When I went in for the work, she said it was going to cost me ~$600 and she's even giving me a $50 discount. After the procedure, I called my dental insurance and they sent me a copy of the "notice of authorization". That form basically authorizes the dentistry to perform the work on you and states the insurer's responsibility. It isn't an actual bill, but looking at it, I realized that my dentist is charging me ~$300 over the amount suggested amount. I don't care what kind of business this dentistry is running, but they did NOT go over the costs correctly with me and even lied to me that they're giving me a freakin discount since I'd had the surgery before! Learn from my mistakes and NEVER try out this dentistry. Both times when I went in for a crown, their machine that takes pixes and allows the dentist to mold your crown into place malfunctioned-I had an extra 20 minutes of waiting and leaving my mouth open EACH time. They never apologized and instead Edmund Yang blamed his assistant for not checking that the machine was plugged in correctly. Edmund Yang was belittling his assistant during the 2 hours that I was there for my procedures. He kept making comments in tone and manner that she was incompetent and stupid. I thought she was helpful and felt sorry that she had to work with such an unprofessional dentist! read more

I went here a few times. Dr. Yang is sarcastic and angry. He treats his staff with contempt and disdain. He always recommends the more expensive procedures, even if you don't need them. Avoid this place at all costs. I am not the only person who hates this place. Look up his reviews on yelp, but make sure you ignore all the "reviews" planted by his office staff to bump up his rating. read more

I am a UCI graduate student and they tried to fraud me into getting ceramic fillings when metal fillings would be covered by my insurance. Luckily I stood my ground. I am getting another dentist. read more

If you are a UCI graduate student, don't come here. They tried to persuade me do a deep dental cleaning a year ago. The price is -280.( don't remember exactly amount.) They also want me to do a filling on my teeth. Cost -1000 dollars. I said that I want to think about it. Then I switch to another dentist. They charged me 48 dollar for deep cleaning. That's it. Apparently, Dr. Yang is not doctor who really care about patient's situation, and help patient to save money. Instead, he is a money orientation doctor. He even tried to scare me that if I do not fill up some cavities, I will loss all my teeth in 10 years, which is not really necessary to my situation (confirm by other doctor.) Anyway, keep away from dr. Yang if you are a poor graduate student. read more

I was having tooth pain over the past few days and needed to see a doctor right away. Dela at the front desk was very accommodating and scheduled me an appointment just this morning. I told the doctor (Dr. Yang) what the issue was and I am already feeling better. I don't go to the dentist to make friends, I go there to solve any pain I have or get any checkups that are needed. This dental office will get the job done in a timely manner and will make sure to get you an appointment if you are in pain. read more

One word to describe this place. TERRIBLE. I went here few times when I was a grad student at UC Irvine. First, they wouldn't give appointments at least until few weeks. Then after you show up they keep you waiting for hours. However, if you are late by even five minutes they try to charge you for missed appointment. The persian lady at front desk really obnoxious and seems very moody. For one appointment she was nice and smiling and helped me all the way. Other times, she wouldn't even look at me and kept me and others waiting for no apparent reason. It is almost next to impossible to get referrals to specialists. They always try to up sell. I had to get deep cleaning just to get a referral. Avoid this place if you really want a decent dentist. read more

I don't trust this dental office. The dentist suggested I replace my metal fillings when there was nothing wrong with them. He admitted that it would just be for cosmetic reasons. He also recommended a deep cleaning. When I called the office later to ask for the cost, I didn't get a straight answer. I think they'd rather charge my insurance company 100% and dodge my question in order to make money. Plus, when you look at their Google reviews, it's highly likely that they hired some reputation company to clean it up read more

So after reading all the reviews about this dentist, I'll say that this place isn't bad at all. I've been going to Irvine Dental for the last 3 years and I've never had a problem with the dentists, the receptionist, getting an appointment, re-scheduling, nothing. The dentist isn't "warm and fuzzy," but its not exactly what I'm going in for. I go twice annually to have a cleaning and that's that. No qualms at all with Irvine Dental. read more

Everyone in this office is nice and professional. Dr. Yang was very experienced and skilled. I had him for years. Ignore the haters, this place is amazing! read more

Both my mom and I have been going to Dr. Rozenovich & Dr. Yang for close to a decade now and for good reason too! From teeth whitening procedures to routine cleanings, they has always met our needs by keeping our teeth and gums healthy. Their staff are very helpful and accommodating both in the office and over the phone. I would definitely recommend Irvine Dental Associates to anyone who is looking for a friendly and reliable Dentist! read more

Dr. Yang, Della & all of the hygienists are AMAZING! They arrange their schedules so that my husband and I are able to come together for our appointments with our one year old daughter. They truly care about your teeth and you as a person! We have been coming here for years and even after we moved to LA county we will not go anywhere else. We actually look forward to getting our teeth cleaned (I am weird) and seeing everyone on staff. Going to the dentist gets a bad rap but let's be honest YOU have to take care of YOUR teeth you only get one set and if you are blessed enough to find a good one like Dr. Yang who is both brilliant and efficient you better thank your lucky stars more than once. Thank you Irvine Dental Associciates for being so good to our family! read more

Lots of negative reviews on here. I can see it happening, but they've overall pretty been good to me. I for one like Dr. Yang's sarcastic humor. Overall, he also did some bonding on my teeth that really helped sensitivity. read more

I trust this office with my teeth! Dela, Dr. Yang, Dr. Rosenivich, & lovely staff have gone out of their way for me (& my family) when we were in pain, or needed dental services. Agreed, Dr Yang may be slightly lacking in bed-side manner, but he is a great dentist (this is evident when comparing previous dentist root canal x-rays with the ones he has performed). Without dental insurance, they have helped me to afford & finance any emergency work. I know that when I call them in need, they will expedite my appointment & help me in any way they can. I will take expert dental work over a dentist to "hold my hand & talk me though it" any day! Thank you Irvine Dental Associates! I only miss having you in San Clemente :) read more

So far I'm satisfied with the quality of service here. Probably one of the few places that provides decent service for HMO patients. I haven't done anything besides cleaning here but know a few people who did filings and were overall satisfied with the result. Not a 5 star because one time they charged me $30 just for the routine gum exam that is usually part of the cleaning procedure. But that happened only one time... Another good thing that the cleaning has always been done by a doctor and not someone else. read more

I started going here last year when I moved out from the Bay Area and I've been very happy with their services. I've come for 3 cavities ( what can I say, I love sweets ;-) ) and one root canal. Dr. Yang did the work once, and Dr. Rozenovich the other three times. I like this office because they get the job done and their prices are very reasonable. A couple of my cavities were on the fence in terms of whether I needed the work, and I appreciate that Dr. Yang was honest in telling me that if I took great care of the teeth, I wouldn't necessarily need the extra two cavities done. All of their assistants are super nice, as are the reception staff. I first came here on the recommendation of my uncle, and he has been coming here for about 9 years. So, as long as I stay down here in southern Cali, this will be my office of choice. read more

I come here for cleanings on a regular basis. The woman at the front desk is a gem and always has everything in order. When my insurance changed she went through a lot of work hunting for my policy with the insurance company (My insurance changed and I had no information for my new policy, which was through my husband's work). She was very patient with me. The hygienists and dentists always seem to do a nice cleaning and are very pleasant. I only get cleanings and exrays, because my teeth are in good shape, so I can't comment on their work for other services. I would recommend going. read more

Dr. Yang and all the staff are pleasant and accommodating. Dr. Yang has been my dentist for over 12 years, when I first moved to the area. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Yang and the excellent treatment he provides. read more

I've been going here to Dr. Yang for 7 years and it's been a good experience. I've had routine cleanings, a couple of fillings, and have gotten new retainers made. All the work has been perfect. On the UCI grad student composite filling issue: I had heard that composite fillings were only covered at Western Dental for us, so when I needed a filling, I switched my primary dentist designation over to them. It was a terrifying experience and I switched right back to Dr. Yang! On upselling: Okay, several of my friends with dental problems have complained about being pressured to get unnecessary work here. I have good teeth and they have NEVER upsold me, in 7 years. On service: They didn't love it when I switched away to Western Dental for my filling. But since I came back I have had only good experiences with Dr. Yang, the office manager, and the hygienists - they have all been friendly. They have helped me out with pricing on a grad student budget too. read more

Greedy place. This is the place to go if you want to be charged extra for unnecessary work done. Too bad I can't give no stars.

I have a terrible experience with Dr. Yang. Until I visited his practice, I thought that all dentists were courteous and pleasant. Dr. Yang was extremely unprofessional. When I asked what the procedure was since it was my first time there - i.e., will there be an xray, and then cleaning, etc. - he got extremely irritated and rebuked me for asking him a question. His hygienist was also not very friendly and I did not feel that I received an adequate cleaning. I will never recommend this dentist to anyone. read more

I agree with all the reviews on the this dental office. Dr. Yang is rude and unattentive. I also noticed that he likes to sit in his office watching TV and prefers to do the bare minimum. I will also add that the receptionist, Della, is rather rude and unpleasant. I have been there twice and she is always pushing you to pay for unnecessary procedures and products. I will never return to this dental office. read more

Absolutely terrible. I was there getting a cleaning and then Dr. Yan started yelling at the hygienist right in front of me. She brought the wrong tray or something. Then after he filled a cavity and was adjusting the fill, he started to get short with me. He clearly needs a new profession and he's not a very good dentist. The receptionist will mercilessly try and up sell you products you don't need and are not covered by your insurance. Never ever go here. read more

Worst dentist I've ever been to. If, you enjoy having your Dentist (Yang) yell at the hygienist while he is working on your teeth, being over billed, shoddy fillings that my new dentists had to redo, then you may have found the Dentist for you. However, if you are a normal human being and not the Marquis de Sade please for the love of all that you may find holy avoid this terrible terrible office like the plague. read more

Highly recommend it!!! Amazing experience... Best dentist i have been to in years .. Very honest as well as provided a 5 star treatment.

I have been to this Dental Office three times now and seen both Dr. Yang and the other doctor who is there less frequently. I have even taken my three year old daughter there to have a cavity filled. It was her first time and all the staff made her feel welcome, safe and she had a great experience. As for my visits, I also felt at ease after informing pretty much everyone there that I was terrified of any thing dental related and subsequently was assured by Dr. Yang and his assistant that everything would be done to ensure my comfort (and it was). Yes, Dr. Yang may not be the warmest of characters, but he is quick and very good at what he does, especially if you have immediate work needed. I did NOT get the impression that he hates being a dentist (just dislikes small talk, big deal). Della, the billing person and receptionist, was nothing like the reviews state. She was extremely kind and helpful to me, very flexible with scheduling and never made me wait. The hygienists are great, its a nice office, and I have not experienced any financial issues or mishandling. read more

I am a UCI grad student. Dr. Yang was perfectly nice to me. He did all the cleaning himself and didn't try to push any bullshit treatments on me (like my last dentist). The receptionist was very nice and jovial. Overall, it was a simple, straightforward visit to the dentist. I find it strange that IDA gets so may 1 star ratings. Maybe the dentist there just have bad days and good days. read more

I have been going to Irvine Dental Associates in Irvine for the past year. Dr. Rozenovich and his staff are excellent. He is a great dentist and the staff do an outstanding job. They are very friendly and professional. I felt very comfortable with the dentist and the hygienist who were very professional, really knew what they were doing, and worked very well together. I felt relaxed which isn't something I usually feel at a dentist office. His office staff did a great job finding out how much my insurance covered and worked with me with absolutely no pressure. I highly recommend this dentist office if you want a beautiful smile and a great dental experience! read more

I completely agree with the reviewers who are not satisfied with dr. Yang' and Ms. Dela. Took my mom there to do some work on her teeth. Dr. Yang was rude and angry at my elderly mom when she asked questions regarding her treatment. The mold for my mom was re done 3 times because Dr. Yang wiould not do the work himself, even after 2 failures ( the dental assistant was also terrible, didnt know what she was doing). On top of a horrible dentist, Ms Dela , the front office person, was even worse! She was rude and is extremely fake!! All she cares about is money, not patients. The very last time my mom was there was for a follow up dental work, and Ms Dela refused to let my mom see Dr Yang unless I paid her first. I have always paid her as requested, and had no outstanding balance. up to that point, my mom had spent $ 2000 on a crown, filling, and x- ray work. Then She started to yell and said nasty things. How unprofessional, and strange for a patient-oriented office!! I definitely do not recommend the place unless you want to have an unpleasant dentist experience. read more
