She tried to play it off like it's always been there but I KNOW it wasn't. She talks too much during the cleaning and doesn't pay close enough attention. I mentioned my chipped tooth when I made my next appointment and they did not even acknowledge the issue. I also referred my boyfriend here and he had 2 cleanings done. They said he had 8 cavities. He went to 2 different dentists afterwards for a second opinion and they said he had 0 cavities. My insurance changed and we will not be back

She called another dentist on Saturday, she was scheduled same day, when we arrived the dentist had left for the day and she was more than welcome to schedule for Monday. My daughter was in so much pain, I called a phone number and the lady on the phone checked and confirmed that this office was open and the dentist would be there when we arrive. Terri made us feel welcomed and she is a terrific person with a great personality. Dr. Pitel is an empathic dentist. She took care of my daughter and explained everything to her in detail. The whole office staff was extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Pitel and Terri are priceless. Thank you for the wonderful dental care and experience you offered my daughter.

Forgot to do my review here! THE 5 STARS ARE A LIE THEY ASK…read moreTO GIVE THEM A GOOD REVIEW ON THE SPOT THIS OFFICE SCAMS PEOPLE! One thing I despise is people who take advantage of our marginalized community. She accepts medical so obviously many people with medical come. The first red flag I noticed was her HUGE picture of her and Trump right in the middle where everyone can see it. I ignored it because we all have our beliefs right? Anyways my problem started in 2024, they told me I needed crowns on 3 of my molar teeth and they told me it was pretty urgent or id loose those teeth. So they put in the request to Medical and medical doesnt approve it because they HAD JUST done fillings on those teeth. So this is where I ask myself, "Well shes a dentist she must've known that I was going to need those crowns soon" right? So, they tell me oh since you are a medical patient we will reduce the price from 600 each to 300 EACH TOOTH. Thats 900 dollars! This is where I just stopped communication because I was not gonna pay 900 dollars. This was my second like thats weird. Fast forward, a few months later, they give me a call hey come on in for your clean up and whatever. I tell them about what had happened a few months ago and they said ok lets check it out. I go back, Dr says my teeth are fine??? I said you guys told me I was going to loose my teeth within THE YEAR AND NOW ITS FINE? So in my head im like okay they were going to mess with my teeth for 900? THEN they said oh but you have a something and you need an antibiotic for 500 dollars. EXCUSE ME? So I start telling them how first it was this now its that what's going to be next? Im getting, OBVIOUSLY, irritated and her ONE ASSISTANT is looking at me weird. They still try to get me to do the cleaning and I said no for what? They just want the money! Dr looks like shes gotten her face done, has expensive jewlery, she looks EXPENSIVE. She's hardly in office, she has no assistants anymore???? THE RECEPTIONIST was putting the Bib on me and stuff?? Some shady stuff going on in here

I'm really disappointed with my experience at this orthodontic office. I had been in treatment, but…read moreafter missing some appointments, they removed my braces. I understand that attendance matters--but what doesn't feel right is how everything was handled afterward. Before the original orthodontist left, I never had this issue and felt like my case was being managed properly. What's especially frustrating is that they won't provide me with retainers because they say my treatment wasn't complete. I'm not asking for a perfect result--I just want retainers to help keep my teeth from shifting and getting worse. I also feel like my concerns about my treatment weren't fully addressed, and I've been left without a solution to maintain the progress I already made. For an office that promotes "smile with confidence," this experience has been the opposite. I would have appreciated more communication, consistency, and a willingness to help me preserve the progress I already made. Overall, this has been a very discouraging experience. so now I have to go to another orthodontist to figure out this gap because they never had the time to fix it I guess....

I've been going here since Sept or so, when my insurance (aetna) kicked in for me. After looking at…read morespecific dentists through my PPO in-network, reading reviews on yelp and other dentistry accredited review sites, I landed here for a number of reasons: proximity to work, appointment times offered, and real reviews from yelp. :) My dentist is actually Dr Drew Almodovar, as I understand Dr Millar & Dr Wang are at the Huntington Beach location, and Dr Drew's name is now a part of the cards and websites. The staff here is friendly and understanding of any anxieties you may have in regards to dental work. The Dental Assistants are really nice and everyone has a calm demeanor with their presence. Music is calm (think XM Radio Spa/Waterscape). Every patient's situation is unique, and I'm still in the process of restoring and repairing my teeth. It's a process for sure, but Dr Drew and his team do everything they can to make sure I understand what's happening and that I'm comfortable with the procedures, as well as comfortable during the procedures. I'll update this review once my procedures are all done, but for now, I'm very comfortable with recommending this office to anyone that asks. Pro-Tip: Bring head phones and a good bumpin' playlist for your appointments, so you don't have to listen to the whirring and buzzing sounds of the tools! They help me with my anxiety greatly!

As someone with a chronic health condition who has seen many different doctors and healthcare…read moreproviders over the years, Dr. Le is by far one of the best providers I have ever had, not only in dentistry but in healthcare in general. From my very first appointment two years ago, Dr. Le took the time to sit down with me, learn about my medical history and background, and really understand my overall healthcare needs. It genuinely felt like he was taking a biopsychosocial approach to my care rather than simply focusing on the dental issue in front of him. That meant so much to me as a patient with more complex healthcare needs. He and his staff are incredibly caring, compassionate, and attentive. You can genuinely see how much they prioritize their patients and the quality of care they provide. I recently had all of my wisdom teeth removed and was extremely anxious beforehand. I called Dr. Le because I was worried, and he took time out of his day to personally talk with me and help calm my nerves. That level of care and reassurance is something I will always appreciate. Dr. Le and his entire staff are truly the best. I'm so grateful to have found a provider who makes me feel heard, cared for, and safe as a patient. I cannot recommend them enough!

My…read moreappointment was for 2:00pm last Wednesday, I got there 5 minutes early, no one was at the desk but a man poked his head out and said hello which I appreciated. Then 3 girls trickled in separately who worked there, it's safe to say they were on lunch break, no worries. I wrote my name on the clipboard and continued to wait. Another patient walked in shortly after me. They called him back first which I didn't mind until I realized I was there for an hour before I got called back to the room. It seems there's only one dentist working which I also wouldn't have minded if they scheduled accordingly. Im finally in the room and one of the girls took my X- rays, she was friendly and efficient. The dentist finally made his way in and was completely unprepared. Him and his assistant are talking and he asks her for a "leaf" she said there isn't anymore, he said we ran out already? She said you're the only one that uses them so he said "it's OK just put that last one through sanitizer". A short time passes as he's fumbling around with the tools and equipment. He then proceeds to put the "leaf" in my mouth, wet and apparently used by a previous patient, let alone if it was even sanitized or not. He also put it in backwards which I thought was strange. There was a lot going on. I was waiting for a camera crew to come out like it was some kind of joke. Then he tried to upsell me on different services, mainly "whitening" I respectfully declined and he couldn't get me out of the chair fast enough. One of my bridges he didn't even floss, he said "well you floss at home right" I said yeah, he goes OK you're done and hands me my purse before I'm even out of the chair while I'm taking off the paper towel. I will say the girls were all friendly and considerate. I think he seemed extremely unprepared, rushed and not able to care for each Individual patient fully. I can't say that I will be back nor recommend this office anytime soon.
