The office is very clean, organized with the latest equipment in dentistry. Dr. Kaur is kind, explained my treatment effectively and was very skilled during treatment.

I saw him to repair a small filling that was done incorrectly in his office. First, I had to wait for hour and a half to be seen. I even called twice prior to the appointment time to confirm they were on schedule. When the procedure began, Dr. Alfy roughly grabbed my cheek and began poking the needle into my cheek to numb me. He initiated a full block of my right side without asking. It was so painful, that he even asked the assistant to check my blood pressure. This experience was extremely traumatic for me and nothing I've ever experienced before with a dentist. I will not be returning to this dentist and do not recommend him at all.

I was introduced to Dr. Linden Ishii at the beginning of his career in the early 1980's. The…read moreintroduction was actually made following a dental appointment that I scheduled with his father, Dr. Dean Ishii. So, this Five-star Yelp review reflects the friendly, professional Five-star service that I've received from Dr. Linden Ishii for nearly four decades. Over the years, I've been particularly satisfied with Dr. Ishii's skill with fillers and bonding materials, as well as his design of both temporary and permanent crowns. Like Dr. Ishii himself, his staff members are warm, personable, courteous, and professional. I regularly depend on the dental hygienists in this office for my routine cleanings, which are always thorough and professional.

I visited Dr. LaLinde several years back for a sleep apnea dental device. The quality of the care I…read morereceived at the time was unremarkable. I had no out of pocket expenses and the device fit well and worked well. No complaints. Fast forward and my device is no longer fitting well. Contacting her office to have it looked at and potentially repaired or replaced resulted in a back and forth exchange to obtain my insurance cards, if I was willing to pay $3500 for a new one, and doctor referrals. Multiple reminders of , "can we please just look at it first," fell on deaf ears. All of this before I could secure an appointment! Finally, the office agreed to a consultation to look at my device before deciding if it could be adjusted or needed replacement. They then requested $150 before MAKING AN APPOINTMENT. When I balked at this as a returning patient, more confusion ensued as they seemed to forget they were the one that provided the original device. Finally, they stated they wanted my credit card, "to hold the number, just in case," before making the appointment and "promised" not to charge it. At this point I declined, advised them I would seek another provider, and recommended they change how they do business. This is not how you treat patients.

So I really hate to even do this but I have been waiting since early January for a crown that I…read morehave already paid for and it is now mid April with no change and zero assistance from anyone at the front desk/office. While waiting for the crown to be delivered the pain has been increasing yet whenever I call and the times I have physically gone inside to ask about an ETA for the crown I paid for the only response I ever get is "we get shipments everyday we'll call you to set an appointment". Every single time I call. I mention how long it's been, I mention I've called before, I mention the pain - I get the same response or I'm put on hold for 10-15 minutes awaiting an answer that is "the doctor will call you". No one calls. Three months of this and my recent call went exactly the same as the others - the woman who answers the phone says "oh really" when I told her how long it's been and that now there is redness and the pain is becoming more frequent......I am told to wait. I was initially led to believe the crown would be completed "within two weeks," making this three-month delay especially concerning. In the meantime, I have a visible gap in my smile, persistent redness in the gums, and increasing pain when inhaling or eating hot foods. I'm unable to properly brush that area, leading to plaque buildup on surrounding teeth, and I can only chew on a small portion of my mouth because even small bits of food are beginning to cause discomfort.

It has now been four months and I am still waiting for a crown that fell off. During my initial…read moreconsultation, the dentist hit a nerve while probing, which caused significant pain and made me physically jump. Instead of acknowledging the discomfort, I was reprimanded for reacting. During a routine cavity filling, my lip was cut with the drill and bled for nearly an hour. Additionally, appointments were consistently booked weeks out, making follow-up care difficult. To make matters worse, the office submitted incorrect X-rays to my insurance company, resulting in a denied claim. I later learned that the issue was simply an improper X-ray submission procedure, which delayed treatment unnecessarily. The front desk staff were also consistently unkind and dismissive. Overall, this experience was frustrating from start to finish. I hope the office improves its clinical care, administrative processes, and patient communication so others do not have a similar experience.
