    1 star for general incompetence at every turn…read more I was quoted 300 for a dental appliance, and then charged 1,000. After much to do, they eventually honored the original quote. I showed up to receive the appliance, and the assistant appeared with a needle to anesthetize me to fill multiple cavities. I have no cavities, and I had to refuse the shot multiple times before they realized their error. I left the practice and recently emailed to obtain records. After supplying my full name and date of birth, they replied with, "What is your Last name and Date of birth?". It took 11 emails to discover that the dentist who saw me was no longer at the practice, they do not retain records, and to contact him. They sent a long winded excuse, part of which reads: "His office has a new contact number and email address that we do not have on file. We recommend that you search for Dr. Ortega's current practice and contact his office directly to obtain the most up-to-date email address." I googled it, and his new office is...in the same building as White Oaks Dental. It's hilarious that they go out of their way to be unhelpful. If you are looking for a way to test your patience and add stress to your life, dealing with White Oaks Dental may be for you!

    The Unquestionable Tooth…read more I'd been searching for a new dentist for a few years before being referred here by my gf, Carissa, last year. I normally prefer a smaller mom-&-pop type office instead of a dental mill, but this place kinda falls smack dab in the middle of both. The Good: *Dr Cho (the only dentist I've dealt with) is terrific; personable, affable, and tells you exactly what's going on and why. *The entire staff from receptionists to the nurses are all very friendly and can all take a joke. *They accept most insurances, as Carissa and I both have different types of insurance (Delta & Tricare). *They seem to be a one-stop shop for all dental procedures, according to their website. *They figure out your co-pay, and you pay at the end of your visit; no stupid bills in the mail to deal with. *They're very prompt, respect your time, and get you in and out very quickly. *Text reminders, and they will also text you if they have questions or issues that arise, which I prefer. Phone calls are giant PiTa, especially if you end up paying phone tag. The Meh: *They are *not* a Delta Premiere Dentist, so if you have Delta Dental PPO insurance, then expect to have a co-pay. *Not open on weekends *Maybe I misunderstood, but when I was trying to make an apt recently, I could've sworn the receptionist said they're not open on Fridays? However, their website, Yelp and Google, all show them to be open from 9 a.m. - 2 p.m., so not I'm not exactly sure what that's about. *If you need a 2nd or 3rd visit, then they'll have to be a few weeks apart as apts are hard to come by. The Ugly: *Parking can be a bit of a nightmare at times, as their shared lot is almost always packed and lacks any shade. Street parking, however, does have some shade but can also be hard to come by. So, make sure you give yourself a few minutes before your appointment to find parking. TLDR: Great dental office that makes one of life's annoyances tolerable.

    FIND ANOTHER DENTIST. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE OR DR GO…read more I didn't want to write this post because Dr. Go is a very nice dentist and the people that work in her office are very nice. However, Dr Go, did my crown in May 2022 and she did it incorrectly. After about six months I noticed that every time I would floss around that one crown, the floss had a gross smell. I'm sure you can imagine. Which is a first for me because my teeth have always been pretty good. I floss regularly, brush regularly, all of the above. When I brought this to her attention, her response was well. "Maybe you should get an electric flosser?" And I thought about it for a second and then I was like "why? I never needed it before until you did this crown. So I would like you to replace it." She finally agreed and offered to replace it but I had to pay $250. I hesitated because I didn't want to necessarily go back to a doctor that didn't do it correctly in the first place, and instead of taking accountability for her mistake she then tried to blame my hygiene skills by telling me I needed to buy an electric flosser which I never needed my entire life. So I thought I could just wait this out because it takes five years for insurance to be able to pay for another crown. But to be honest, I just couldn't wait any longer. I was always self-conscious about my breath constantly using one of those floss pickers and jamming it into between the teeth until the smell was no longer there. I have avoided eating on my right side of my mouth for the last few years so is to not get food stuck in there. So I called the office back and I said I would like to take Dr. Go on her offer to replace my crown. The receptionist took my information and said the doctors was in a meeting and will call me back later. As you can imagine, I never received a callback. So I am taking this as if doctor refuses to replace my crown. I am leaving this yelp review which I should've left years ago. I DO NOT RECOMMEND doctor go unless you are just doing a basic cleaning. Another friend of mine went to this doctor in her office because I referred him (before I got my crown) and he had a crown that needed to be replaced and the temporary crown had fallen off about a week later. With his experience and my experience, I don't believe that the doctors are skilled enough to do any type of cosmetic dental work. I would highly recommend you find another doctor that has more experience. The basic cleaning is actually done by hygienist and not the doctor and her hygienist are great. I also had to pay for a new set of Invisalign trays obviously because the teeth were now different and that was $1000. So if I had to have this replaced again, I will need to spend another thousand dollars for my Invisalign. I am now going to another doctor that is more seasoned and more skilled and I'm paying out-of-pocket. Mistake of Dr Go is gonna cost me $4k when all is said and done. So I highly recommend that you do not see this doctor. If I could give zero stars, I would because one star is being generous, they may be the one star is for the hygienist.

It wasn't painful thankfully but they still treated it with urgency and booked me as early as I was available Monday morning, even called to offer an earlier time that day which I definitely took. I met with the staff and Dr. Dang. She took the time to listen to my concerns, hear my complaining about the totally unrelated gap in the front of my teeth because I didn't want to wear a retainer as the lazy defiant teenager I was, lol, and she even walked me through what she was doing (I have a curious mind!). I also asked about Invisalign but told her I heard it was pricey enough to make all my filling pop out. Dr. Dang fixed the filling and introduced a creative way to close the gap and wow! Who needs Invisalign. I didn't expect much given my gap but she figured out a new way to make it happen for me. I haven't had a gapless smile in over 10 years. Fun fact. I had a bit of a lisp when I talked before and voila. It's gone. I don't miss it. lol We might not really think about it but from my perspective, there is art in dentistry. I don't know how she did it but it looks great seriously. Whether I book my appointment with Dr. Phan or Dr. Dang, both are super patient, they listen and don't answer right away (a good thing in my mind). They think and walk me through potential options. The good ole days when doctors listened. I don't have to worry about them not listening here. Anyway, I'm super happy with my results and will continue to be a patient here fosho.
