    Mind blowing that this is what he achieved in an hour on a Saturday morning!
    Maria H.

    My mom has been a patient of Dr. Scalas for several years. The Friday after Christmas, one of her veneers came off completely. The Dr saved the day and came in on that Saturday to fix her up even though he was to be out of the office until the following week. He provides consistently good dentistry with state of the art equipment, keeping up with continuing education to be a leader in his field. He truly recognizes the importance of your dental health and how it plays into each patient's general well being. My mom is her in 60s and he keeps her smile looking bright and youthful!

    I have severe dental anxiety. I try not to go to the dentist and because of this, I usually require more work. I cannot recommend highly enough Dr Scalas and his office. They were gentle, professional and kind as they performed procedures and reviewed options. I was very impressed with the level of sanitization and cleanliness of the office, equipment and each member of their team.

I just wanted to write it now because the dental office we go to now just amplifies how much more superior in service and quality Seastar is. It was only due to the fact that Delta Dental was not serving Seastar that we left this amazing dental office. My son who is now five. He had a great experience first experience and any other ones he had later. They caught and confirmed that he had a lip and tongue tie -- our pediatrician noticed it as well. That is when we decided to get those both taken care of here. Both were taken care of quickly and kindly. I have nothing but gratitude for this place making the dental experience so smooth and enjoyable for my little one. It was so sweet that Dr. Cherish sang twinkle twinkle little star to help distract him. My son loves the dentist and I believe it is due to his great experiences here. Still cavity free and happy to go to the dentist.

    I asked on the Cerritos mom page what's a good dentists office for toddlers and a lot of moms…read moreranted about Lollipop Dental so we gave them a try because they are close by. My issue is that their receptionist department is really lacking and doesn't return calls. Terrible if you have an emergency. All the other dental offices I've been to answer the phone right away, but this chain keeps playing a recording with an annoyingly cheery voice until someone gets on the line. I should have read the negative reviews first before coming here. The first time I called them, I was on hold for a long time and eventually left a voicemail. I tried back a few more times and never got a live person on the line. I tried the next day and finally got someone on the phone but it somehow transferred me to someone from their Placentia office and they were able to make an appointment for me for the Cerritos office. I brought my 13 month old twins for their first check up and the visit went fine. There was some crying as expected, but all the dentist did was look inside their mouth and brush their teeth. There were no X-rays done. So we checked out and the front desk scheduled their next visit and said there was no payment needed. Fast forward to two weeks later, I got an email and text saying there was an invoice for both girls. So I tried calling them again. I was on hold for a while and finally reached the receptionist and she put me on hold while she was checking and then after 15 minutes of waiting, I was hung up on. I called back again and she "checked" again and finally said that their billing department would be calling me back within 30 minutes. I never got the call. Looks like I'll either have to go into the office myself to resolve the issue or try calling them again later. What a waste of time!

The receptionists are warm and friendly. We never wait long to be seen. Consultations are thorough and we always leave with a clear plan for taking care of the little teeth we have growing. For kids, they have televisions on the ceiling. Come on! Where was this when I was a kid?!? My children are always asking when we are installing ceiling TVs at home. Sorry, not happening. The first time when we came here, my daughter was scared and brought her stuffed animal for comfort. The dentist gave the stuffy an "exam" too, just to make her feel more comfortable. Remembering that kindness still hits me in the feels. These professionals clearly work with kids because they enjoy it. My children actually look forward to going to their appointments, and ask when they're scheduled to go back. That awesomeness is worth celebrating and more than worthy of every star I can send their way.

We're truly grateful for the gentle, thoughtful care this team provides.

And in both cases, Dr. Lee has recommended pretty extreme treatment options. On both occasions we got a total of 3 pediatric dentist opinions, and both times Dr. Lee's recommendations were out of left field. I appreciated her taking the time to see him, but I didn't appreciate her scaring us, and our kid, into thinking he needed a crown on a baby tooth. Thankfully the office staff were kind but it was very crowded in the office. The chairs that the kids sat in were all pretty close together. So there wasn't much privacy between the doc and the patient, since the patient next to us could hear everything. Not to mention, the treatments Dr. Lee recommended supposedly needed to be done right away, but when we asked the front office what days they had available, they said they couldn't fit him in until July. The staff and the dental professionals were all kind, but I'm afraid this just isn't the office for us.

You would expect a warm, welcoming, and patient-centered environment--but that has not been my experience at all. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels impersonal. The staff are not particularly friendly or engaging with either the children or their parents. Each visit feels rushed, like you're being pushed through an assembly line so they can move on to the next patient. The dental assistants do their jobs, but there's little effort to connect with the kids, which is concerning for a pediatric-focused office. Dr. Gabby is okay, but nothing exceptional. Her bedside manner is average, and overall, the experience doesn't feel especially reassuring or welcoming. The biggest issue, however, is the billing. It's completely disorganized. The billing department is offsite, and the front desk staff are unable to clearly explain charges. At each of my first three visits, I specifically asked if there were any co-pays or balances due and was told everything was covered. Then, nearly two years later at my fourth visit, I'm suddenly told I have an overdue balance for all previous appointments. That makes no sense. When I asked for an itemized bill, they couldn't provide one and told me I would have to contact the billing department myself. They provided me with the balance due but said "I'm not actually for what this is for though." That level of disconnect and lack of transparency is incredibly frustrating and, frankly, concerning. Overall, the experience feels disorganized and impersonal. Between the poor customer service and the billing issues, I will definitely be finding a different dental practice for my children.

Her communication with me as a parent was excellent, both before their appointments and for follow up afterwards. My 3 year old had to have a tooth extracted and I was shocked at how calmly and patiently she approached him and explained everything to him. She listened to him when he needed a break and really went above and beyond to ensure that the procedure was successful -- without sedation! She even called afterwards to make sure he was okay. My 6 year old is pretty sensitive and nervous and she used a variety of excellent tools and strategies to ensure that he got a good quality cleaning, exam, and x-rays while still going at his pace without forcing or pressuring him. I'm so grateful to have found Dr. Ishioka and her team. We'll absolutely continue care with her and my kids are actually looking forward to their next visit!
