While my original experience was frustrating, I think it's equally important to acknowledge when a business makes an effort to correct a situation.

I'm very happy with how the situation was ultimately handled and appreciate the office taking the time to make things right.

I would go to other dentist office and all they saw was MONEY and benefits. They didn't care if the patient was in pain. Alhambra Modern Dentistry was the only place that would take me in and work with me. I'm a single mother it can be very difficult financially. The staff are welcoming and friendly. On my first day I had Dr. Self and Jessica. They were unbelievably sweet and understanding about my situation. They helped me out and we create a plan together so that I know what I was getting into rather than getting hit by a huge surprise afterward. Doctor Self is so sweet and is really good at her job. She's really gentle, (So all you scared little cats check her out) She doesn't rush it and wont leave until I'm happy. She also give me family friendly vibe. I really like her! Now lets talk about my girl Taylor, she's so awesome! Very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease. She also took my X-ray. Very gentle! I've been to other places and it felt like they're shoving a whole cardboard in my mouth. Okay a little exaggerated but you get the point, Lol. Taylor answered my many many questions. In fact had a similar procedure done and told me about her own personal experience of what to expect. That put me at ease and actually made me feel excited for the outcome. Thank you! A few weeks later. Like I said, my teeth were bad! Before we even got a chance to fixing the other ones my molars started acting up. Just like a car! You fix one thing something else freaking breaks! I was in pain, like unbearable pain that kept me up tossing and turning at night. I didn't want to wait it felt like my tooth was about to blow up inside of my mouth bad! I went back to AMD the next day and ask if I can be seen. Dr Jacqueline Ly was there at the time and was already full but the receptionist asked her if she can see me same day. She agreed! Hallelujah baby! She was so kind and considerate. Love her energy ^_^ She knew I was in pain. Even gave some good suggestions and let me know the best and cheapest way I can go about it without breaking bank. She did such a great job I felt no more pain right after. She was my life saver! I was able to sleep and go to work the next day. Thank you thank you!! A+++ Thank you guys! I hope this message made you smile. :)

We've been here since 10:15am for an 10:30am appt. It is now 1:13pm. She just started her procedure. Terrible business practice to NOT inform your patients that you are running almost 3hrs behind. When we arrived at 10:15am (per their emajl to arrive 15min early), front desk didn't even mention they were behind schedule. At 10:45pm, I asked how much longer is the wait and they said they were running behind. They said there were TWO patients in front of my daughter. I asked why no one called to give us a heads up. Front desk said that we were supposed to call ahead to check?! That was never conveyed to us. And if that was a policy, it should be addressed in the reminder emails. I suggested that they should have a policy to inform patients going forward. Why should the burden be on the patient? Front desk girl tried to argue with me that they're not in charge of the automated emails but obviously that can be edited by the Company. We spent almost $1500 for this procedure. Around 11:35am, my daughter's classmate walked in for their 11:30am. Mom said she CALLED ahead and they told her to come in! Wtf?! I immediately told her we've been waiting for over an hour and they should probably go home and not waste time sitting here like us. This is completely ridiculous.

I can keep on posting the 1 star everytime the review was removed. My previous post that was removed: My wife came in for check up due to her toothache. There are so many things are wrong with this place, especially the nurse. 1. Her appointment is at 2pm, and she didnt go in until after 3pm. 2. The nurse is not the doctor, but she said my wife did not clean her teeth for so many years, and yet my wife washed her teeth every 3 to 6 months. The nurse kept on pushing my wife to do a deep cleaning which cost $720 cash. Trying to scam the IRS? 3. I requested a copy of the my xray, and she said it cost $20 to get one. WTH? That xray is her personal record. I would not recommend this place. Stay away if you can.

When rescheduling my appointment due to my puppy not responding well to his neutering surgery (mind…read moreyou, I didn't receive a reminder notification for this appointment either, so I had to call in and inquire to confirm anyway), the VERY RUDE receptionist gave me attitude and hung up before finishing the conversation. What makes it even worse is that my family has been going to this dental office since I was around ten years old, and I'm 27 now. I've stayed with this dentist due to familiarity, but this past year has come with a lot of various challenges which has caused me to 1) be behind on my visits, and 2) had to reschedule my appointments (insurance/FSA card issues, puppy being neutered or sick, etc). So while I do understand the frustration from me rescheduling again, it was HIGHLY unprofessional and I was disgusted by the behavior. I see from other reviews that a lot of others have experienced the same attitude from the receptionists. Upon being hung up on, I let them know I would not be returning and would be looking for a new dental office, despite having been loyal to them for so long. The doctor, however, is very competent! It saddens me that I will be departing from his services. They just need to hire new receptionists who are familiar with how to properly treat clients, despite their frustrations.

Beware of shady billing practices…read more I had a terrible experience at Alhambra Garfield Dental. They charged me out of pocket for procedures that were fully covered by my insurance. When I brought this to their attention, they completely ignored me and stopped responding to follow-ups. Even worse, they recorded incorrect treatment in their records and billed me for work I never received -- clearly so they could double dip by charging both me and the insurance company. This kind of behavior is incredibly unethical and possibly fraudulent. I wouldn't recommend this office to anyone. Be cautious if you go -- triple-check your insurance statements and request a full itemized bill. What they did to me was shady and wrong.
