Two teeth in the lower front of my mouth snapped off leaving little pain, but leaving a gaping hole. Dr. Lem patiently walked me through the entire necessary sequence of events from root extraction, to delicate post placement for these narrow teeth, to proper healing before implants could be installed. Dr.Lem along with his professional staff made me feel comfortable and confident that I would receive an excellent result. The end result was exceptional. Based on my experience, I recommend Dr. Lem wholeheartedly without hesitation. read more

I met with Dr. Lem for a consultation and to review X-rays of my tooth that was causing me problems. He recommended an extraction. He was very professional and explained the reason for the extraction and the follow up with an implant. Dr. Tran did the extraction. He was amazing. I never felt any pain during the extraction and he conveyed any sensations I may feel during the process. The office girls are friendly, courteous, knowledgeable and answered all my questions. This the dental office you should choose if you want the best care with truly professional dental surgeons and an amazing office staff. read more

Dr. Lem was referred by my wife's general dentist. I went to his practice recently for full upper and lower implants for dentures. Dr. Lem did a awesome job with my implant. He is very professional and highly skilled at what he does, . He have been in the field for 20 years and is board certified Maxillofacial and implant surgeon. His staffs and nurses were very pleasant and polite. As a kid with tetracycline staining teeth, I had a trouble time with my dentist as a young child. All the dentist that I saw were rude and mean. When I went to see Dr. Lem for denture implants, he was very friendly and understanding. It's hard to find a dentist that is welling to listen to you and not past judgment. In addition, his price great. Went to other office and the wanted triple the cost of upper and lower denture implants. read more

Leonard Lem, DDS, MD - Full upper and lower denture implants. - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Glendora CA, California

little afraid at beginning, but notice the service was very professional, and billing quotes are spot on. I am happy.

Susan, you still haven't answers to any one of my 11 questions about the problem of my dental implant at your office. Questions such as, why it took five different doctors for my dental implant work? Why Dr. Lem created the pain for me to feel like I am going through hell during the implant surgery? Was it because of I was late for 15 minutes due to my car problems as I did apologized to Sunny's for being late. read more

Dr Lem is a great Doctor, he is very professional to extract my wisdom teeth without any pain! and when I have oral issues ,Dr Lem is very knowledgeable to answer my questions, the stuffs are friendly , and the manager Susan is very nice as well .thank you Dr Lem from kevin. read more

If I could give this office a ZERO stars, I would. Called to make first appointment for TMJ consultation and it was about 2 months out. Super annoying. I make it anyway and girl who called me on the phone tells me no copay. Cool. Finally make my way there after waiting 2 months and they tell me I have to pay $200 for the x-rays and what not. Normally I'm fine with that but imagine me waiting 2 months to see this doctor and finally driving 40 min to get there and receptionist tells me I need to pay $200 when they told me it was fully covered. Whatever. I pay it. I see doctor lem and guy is nice seems to know his stuff so that's nice. I make the next follow up appt. A week before this follow up appointment, I get a call from Candace. They need to postpone my appt for two weeks bc someone in the office got covid. That's fine, we in a pandemic, I understand. She gives me options for dates and I ask can I do this date instead? She tells me I cannot because I need a special slot for extractions....... I tell her I don't need an extraction. She actually tells me yes I do. I tell her again, no I do not. She again says YES YOU DO. I tell her I'm making an appointment for TMJ follow up! Then she asks me for my name and birthday to double check. And she doesn't apologize but corrects herself and said oh it's a TMJ follow up. We settle for an appointment date 1 month from my original consultation date. Today is my appointment. Get a text + call from the office. They pushed my appointment from 4:30p to 2p. It's a Wednesday by the way. I work, similar to the majority of the American public. I said no I can't make it. I ask them why is my appt being switched ON THE DAY OF. She tells me doctor has a meeting. Are meetings scheduled on the day of?? Is this what they do to patients who have been waiting for 1 month to see this doctor when it was originally supposed to be 2 weeks? This office is disorganized and unprofessional. I gave them the courtesy of telling them to cancel my appointment. I'm taking my business elsewhere. Stay away guys, save yourself the extra headache. I already get plenty from my TMJ condition. read more

Highly recommend this place! I was referred here by another dentist because I had to get my wisdom teeth pulled out and had procrastinated on it so the roots were so deep my regular dentist couldn't do it. I'm glad I got it done here. Dr. Lem and his staff were so incredibly nice and thoughtful. I've always been slightly scared to go to the dentist and the whole experience great. Dr. Lem takes the time to walk you through the procedure (even during) so you're never surprised on what's going on. His assistants during the operation were so kind, considerate, and took great care of me. The healing process was not bad at all. I had pain the first day after surgery but the second day onward there was virtually minimal pain and discomfort. Bonus - rather than boring white walls, the view while you're waiting and getting your teeth done is awesome! read more

Leonard Lem, DDS, MD - Great view from the dental chair - Oral Surgeons Near Me - Glendora CA, California

First off I would like to thank Dr. Tran, his nurses and the front desk. I was mortified to hear I had to have all 3 of my wisdom teeth. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a nervous wreck when it comes to going to the dentist. My dentist referred me to Dr. Lem. When I called to make an appointment the front office told me extractions are only done on Wednesdays and they are done by Dr. Tran. I bombarded her with a million questions because I was anxious at that point. She reassured me that he was amazing. My first thought was of course you are going to tell me your doctor is fantastic. Aftwr my 2 week follow up I can honestly say he has done a fabulous job. I was nervous the days leading up to the extraction. On the day of the extraction I was a hot mess. Dr. Tran and his nurses were very reassuring. I thank god everyday that I chose IV Sedation. I don't recall any part of the surgery. The recovery process has been a breeze and I was off pain meds on day 2. If you are reading this message because you have or are deciding if this is the right dental office for your wisdom tooth/ teeth extraction all I can say is you are in good hands. read more

Dr. Lem and his staff are wonderful. I was having constant tooth infections as a complication from a previous medical procedure. Dr. Lem scraped off the dead bone from the mandible that was causing infection. Over the next 7 months, Dr. Lem was always responsive and quick to help whenever I needed a follow up exam. I am unable to turn my neck due to a previous surgery, Dr. Lem's staff are very accommodating and make the extra effort to make sure I am comfortable during procedures. I would recommend Dr. Lem for anyone who needs oral surgery. read more

I was very happy to see doctor Lem for my complicated wisdom tooth removal/extraction. I had an oddly shaped hook root that didn't show in my X-ray at my dentist. So when my regular dentist couldn't remove it fully, he referred me to doctor Lem. The process was super easy from scheduling to the procedure. I felt comfortable with the staff and felt pain free throughout. Went home with aftercare instructions and healed perfectly. read more

Not sure what's up with the other reviews, but Dr. Lem is great. I was referred by my dentist for a surgical extraction, and the entire process was seamless. Good bedside manner, straight to the point, and the prices are very reasonable. If I have more teeth to extract I wouldn't hesitate to come back here. read more

Dr. Lem removed a cracked tooth for me & installed a titanium implant last year. I felt very little pain, he uses the latest technology, his work is impeccable, and his staff is kind. Everybody is very competent. The front office is pretty persistent with reminding you about your appointments, but if you're a procrastinator like me, it was a benefit Since installing the crown over the implant, I've had zero problems & don't even notice it's not my own tooth. This was my first implant & Dr. Lem & his office did a great job explaining everything and putting me at ease. I recommend his office to my friends & coworkers without hesitation read more

Came here to get my wisdom teeth removed. Overall it was a great experience, the nurses and doctors were all very nice. I recommend bringing ear buds or headphones so you don't hear the noises when they are taking out your teeth. They made sure to check up on me throughout the process and ask how I was doing. It was quick and painless! read more

I am Daniel Ho, living in Chino Hills now, I had my implement surgery by Dr. Lem ( a fully Up front teeth implement surgery ) and was way back to 30 years ago. at that time it's barely to find a dentist who can perform a really professional implement surgery, should say implement was very expensive and still not so popular ; during this long period time, I didn't follow Dr. Lem's advice to come back to the office for any recheck except once for replacing the 2 loosing clips which were set in my implement denture. it's being 30 more years, I have never had any problem with all eating or chewing any food. ( should knock the wood ) Maybe during the earlier time, I really can't tell Dr.Lem he is good or not; but 30 years till now, I felt for myself, was so lucky to have Dr. lem to do the implement work for me, especially when I heard from someone was suffering for pain or discomfort by their implement surgery just only done for 3.4 years after. I should say Thank you Dr. Lem, you really did a excellent job on me. I know myself well, I am a very experiencing patient this can be proved because my implement was done so earlier ( while I was 34 years old ). you won't believe how much I was appreciated. I really don't care what others says. but to me You are the best !!! read more

I was weary after reading the few bad reviews, especially the comments about the non English speakers. I imagined myself on Garfield ave at one of those Chinese doctor office filled with elderly Chinese people and being yelled at by the middle aged female nurse when I asked any questions. It turns out Dr. Lem was awesome. He spent a lot of time checking and fixing my moms teeth and explained everything thoroughly. He doesn't even speak any Chinese and his staff was nice. I definitely recommend him because he is caring and thorough. read more

I've been prolonging the removal of my wisdom teeth for years now, after hearing horror stories about how you're in bed for days, can't eat or go out, look like a chipmunk, hurts so badly you can't even sleep, etc. Well, guess what? I didn't experience any of that! Dr. Lem suggested that I get 3 of my wisdom teeth out. My bottom wisdom teeth had to be surgically cut out, as it was underneath the gums and growing horizontally. One of my top ones was not removed due to complications (deeply impacted near a nerve or something, gotta wait a few more years). I opted for the IV sedation, which is not exactly like going under since I'm able to respond. I didn't want to remember the surgery at all, best choice ever. I also did the stem cell implant, which I highly recommend. That's probably the main reason why I'm healing so fast, also I had a sore throat for 2 weeks when I went in but it magically healed after my procedure (not sure if that has anything to do with it though). Bleeding stopped like 30 minutes after the procedure. The numbness was gone approximately 2 hours later, but I was able to eat yogurt and macaroni just fine immediately after the surgery. My cheeks did not swell too much because I iced it for basically 12 hours straight the first day. I also slept elevated but it was kinda uncomfortable for my back. I'm sure he had a very careful and gentle surgical technique, because there was virtually NO PAIN afterwards... my friend told me stories how she was crying because her mom was stuck in traffic with her codeine. They gave me ibuprofen, however I didn't need to take any because it never hurt. I don't know if this is common or not lol but I was able to eat normally on Day 6. For the days I had to eat soft food, I mainly stuck with korean tofu soup, mashed potatoes, veggie smoothies, and noodles. I was prescribed amoxicillin to prevent any infections and took that for 5 days. Prices are completely reasonable for the quality of Dr. Lem's work. I rather pay more and heal faster with no infections, no dry socket, no pain, etc. I had such a remarkable, pleasant experience here and I will definitely be back in a few years for my last wisdom tooth. The service here is top notch too, his staff is friendly and welcoming and made me feel less nervous. I put my trust in Dr. Lem wholeheartedly. TLDR; Want a pain free extraction? Want to heal fast? Want to eat normally again within a week? I highly recommend Dr. Lem. He is a skilled, professional, and knowledgeable surgeon that uses the best techniques for your procedure. read more

Dr Lem is awesome but not so much with their staff. Due to recent medical condition, I had to cancel my appt with Dr, Lem...Long story short, I've put down a deposit for my implant for my future service, because of my heart condition I had to cancel my appt. little did I know, they deposit my check for the service was never perform. I called once but they kinda blow me off, I'll try to call back again if they'll refund me...I want to believe this is just a innocent mistake...stay tuned. read more

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews on here for Dr. Lem. I was referred to Dr. Lem by my dentist since I had to remove a wisdom tooth out. I remember the nurse telling me that this would be the best nap I've ever had. The next thing I remember was waking up and seeing the nurse next to me. I asked her when were we going to get started and she informed me the procedure had already been done. It was indeed the best nap I've ever had. I think Dr. Lem did a great job because I didn't swell up nor was I in any pain what so ever. I returned back a week later for a check up and everything was great. I was back to eating solid food and using mouth wash again. Yay! I'll admit the procedure was a bit costly. I paid cash and spent a little under $800 for 1 wisdom tooth. They told me mine costed more because of how impacted it was and not to mention I was put to sleep. Best decision ever! since I don't endure pain well. They do accept credit cards but will give you a discount if you agree to pay in cash. They have a parking lot that they share with other offices so at times it maybe difficult to find a parking spot. read more

Great service. Dr. Lem very personal. Had questions that I forgot in the face to face appointment. . I contacted his staff for a callback from Dr. Lem. Next day I got a callback. Very patient with all my questions. A rare professional and caring service not found in the medical industry now a days. Keep up the good work Dr. Lem read more

Omg, the office staff are so rude, no courtesy at all, two ladies one speak mandarin and another one speak Cantonese need customers service training. waiting room is like Black Friday, the Dr. is nice but he is multi tasks, he can see several patients at the one time , he is seeing another patient getting ready for surgery then come to see you and again go see different patient, he is running back and forth at the SAME TIME, don't know if he got new gloves when he comes back to you and don't know if he still remembers your situation and condition, I don't want to take the chance. He is too busy and business like. Sorry, I am looking for DOCTORS and NOT BUSINESS OFFICE. read more

I definitely see why they get bad reviews here. I was desperate to see an oral surgeon due to the pain in my mouth and I was referred to this office by my dentist. What a horrible experience from the receptionist. She is rude, unable to communicate, and thinks she is the doctor. Somehow she, as a receptionist, diagnosed me with TMJ?? LOL and when I requested to see the doctor she rolled her eyes. Wtf? I made an appointment to see the doctor and she notified me that in order to see the doctor I have to pay $100 to do a scan. I was okay with doing the scan if it's needed, but I want to see the doctor first to ask questions and have a consultation. I've never been to a place where the receptionist prevents a patient from seeing the doctor. Strange. This place needs to definitely hire better people. I'm already in pain, and I have to deal with this. I'd rather find a different doctor then have to be treated like this. So, in short, if you want to be treated like crap, come to this office :) read more

Dr. Leonard Lem is by far one of the best oral surgeons in the area! My son has gone to him twice now. The first visit was for a biopsy on his lip. Dr. Lem was very patient with my little guy only 6yrs old at the time. After the surgery was over my son had absolutely no pain. Dr. Lem was very gentle and caring. Wonderful experience for both of us! The second visit was when my son was 8yrs old and he scraped his face and chipped his tooth while skateboarding. He saw my son right alway. Took special care to clean his wound and give me all the important information as to how to keep the wound from scarring later. Wonderful chair side manner & very honest. I would recommend Dr. Lem to anyone who needs any kind of Oral Surgery. read more

Not really sure why reviewers on Yelp are so harsh. Dr. Lem did a fantastic job with my wisdom teeth extraction. The initial pre-surgery consultation was informative and he laid out my options in an orderly manner and answered all my questions (I wanted to remove all four, but one of them actually broke a rear molar, so I opted for that one's removal as well). The surgery was painless (I was completely knocked out--Dr. Lem actually has additional certifications in anaesthesia--he obviously knew what he was doing). I woke up, got helped over to a recovery area, and instructed with regards to my medication and what I could and could not eat. Anyhow, it's been about a week now. I guess I should mention that I'm not a teenager, so my healing isn't as great as it used to be (I'm 32). The bleeding lasted about a day. I didn't really ever feel pain and went off the pain medication a day after the surgery. I had minor swelling on day two and three (nothing too noticeable, I just didn't want to use ice anymore). And... it's now day 6, I'm feeling pretty normal. So yea, everything went well... and I don't really have a horror story to tell--which, at the end of the day, is ideal. read more

Do not go to this office! If you are quoted, make sure you check the numbers on the quote. I had implants and overdentures done there about 8 years ago. Get a copy of all of your records when you are done because they will throw yours away after a few years! I just spoke to Candice about my records and they DON'T HAVE MY RECORDS SINCE I WAS THERE BEFORE 2016! 5 YEARS AGO!!! Dr. Lem is great at what he does but records, office??? I give it a 1 star! read more

They overcharged for the service and the staff were extremely rude. I was corresponding with one of the secretaries and she assured me that they would refund me, however when I called back, I was informed that she left and had messed up the paperwork? And that they cannot refund me what I overpaid. They also did not properly instruct me on the aftercare of wisdom teeth removal. read more

Waited forever. And forced to take X-rays when I already had some cause they said mine weren't good enough. Doctor was impatient and didn't care. Damn, there's a bunch of fake 5 star reviews here. read more

Dr. Lem and his staff are all amazing. I have nothing but good things to say. Clean, punctual, professional, staff is very nice , patient. I am deathly afraid of dental work and the staff was very kind and patient with me. I was put to sleep and got my implant. The process has been pain free. I just left the office they removed my stitches everything looks healthy my gum feels great. I am a total bleeder I had no swelling, bleeding, bruising after procedure. Whatever other people have yelped about this location if they have had a bad experience I highly disagree. I love , love , love Dr . Lem and everything they have done for me. Can't wait to get the tooth put on my implant have to wait a bit for everything to settle. I will do a part 2 after the tooth is in. If you are wanting to get an implant please go to this location because I'm telling you everything was great and I am super picky, and have severe anxiety and they made me feel so relaxed. So lucky to be a patient here. read more

My visit to Dr. Lem was for the removal of four wisdom teeth. From the looks of it, he and his staff know their stuff and are pretty professional. I personally hate the needles and the thought of excruciating pain was unbearable; however, they put me to sleep and woke up with no pain. This cut down on a lot of stress, and it was a much better experience than I expected. The follow-up the week after went well; Dr. Lem took out the stitches and made sure I was doing fine. I could now see why my dentist recommended me to see this oral surgeon. Being professional and caring, I would definitely inform anyone about Dr. Lem, no doubt that they would have a great experience like mine. read more

I even dnt want give 1 star. This place is HORRIBLE. DNT WASTE your money and time there. First of all, I totally agree with the first two people writing reviews. The front desk women terrible, they even tell me different prices. It's all about Scam. BE AWARE they tell you one price, but when you pay they ll charge different prices, way too much beyond what they told you at beginning. 2nd I paid more than 100 dollars consultation fees to Dr Lem, he even not spending 5 mints to explain. He took only 1 mint and left. 1 mint =100 $, that's such an easy money for him. But not worthy for you at all. An caring doctor not spend 1 mint to patient. Once again, DNT GO there. EVERYTHING is OVERPRICED. Find a doctor who really caring but not all for money. Find one be there for your teeth. good luck. Hope my review helps you. read more

I don't even want to choose 1 star. Can I give negative stars? Because this place is a negative 5. I was referred by my dentist (who I complained to and is going to stop referring patients to Dr. Lem immediately) Dr. Lem is an excellent oral surgeon. He's very knowledgable and his work is clean. The issue at hand is his staff. Never have I ever been subjected to deal with such incompetence in a medical staff. They told me this doctor is in my network and covered up to 80% for my wisdom tooth extraction. My share would be $101 which I paid in full on the day of surgery. Turns out, he is NOT in my network, they made a billing MISTAKE and decided to pursue me for the amount of $600 7 months LATER. I refused to pay because they quoted me $101. So, they decided to bargain. They reduced to $500, then $468, then told me if I pay now they would only charge $400. I didn't pay much attention to the staff because it's like talking to a wall, actually, the wall understands more. Finally, they decided I owe them $234 or they would send my account to collections. Keep in mind, even though my insurance wasn't in network (after the office "verified" that they were) the office was paid over $800 for services rendered. This place is unorganized, and a scam. They threatened to forward my account to collections to see if they can get a dime out of me. Do yourself a favor and don't waste your time here. I wish I had yelped this place before making an appointment. Everything was rushed, they just wanted to bill and get a payment from my insurance company without checking details to see if they were in fact covered. Your incompetence and greediness is not my problem. Deal with your mistake of billing and quit harassing me. read more

If there's 0 star, I would choose it. I had my front upper three teeth implants with Dr Lem in Sept 2019, ensued a crown was done in the same office by Dr. Raj in Feb 2020. When the crown was tried on the very first time, Dr. Raj gave me local anesthesia and then used permanent glue. I questioned him what about if we need to fix the crown after the anesthesia is gone, he answered don't worry, he had special tool which could remove as needed. The next few weeks I kept feeling the crown oppressed my gum badly in one of the abutments. I went back, the office manager Susan told me I would have to pay again if the crown was chipped in the removal even if it's done within a year warranty. I was bleeding twice in April and October 2020. Dr. Lem suggested Dr. Raj not to remove but just to fix the crown. I have been having dull pain every day and they finally agreed to gave me an amazing appointment with Dr. Raj in Feb 2021 (71 days later from today) because no appointment is available sooner. I asked many times to talk to Dr. Lem but no answer. I complained many times and office manager Susan said there's nothing they can do but just to wait for next year appointment to fix the crown. Jesus, what kind of services this office is doing to their patients after they collected all your fees? Very careless, rude and they don't care patient is in pain and infection after they get your money! I regret so so much to do my implants here!! read more

I had a wonderful experience at Dr,.Lem's office. The staff were very kind and compassionate. Dr. Lem was amazing and he spent at least 30 minutes going over what procedures are necessary. He was very thorough and never did I feel pushed to finish so he could be on his way. It was a very positive experience and I am very grateful to Dr. Lem and his staff,. read more

Dr. Lem is the best oral surgeon. My husband had 5 implants done at his office. His expertise and care are way above any other oral surgeon we talked to, and we talked to a number of them about having implants done before we found Dr. Lem. The implants were done perfectly. My husband's bite is prefect now. The price we were quoted is the price we paid. The office is not in a new building and it's not a fancy office. The staff was extremely kind and helpful. My husband was nervous about getting the implants done and Dr. Lem and his staff made him feel completely comfortable. The after care my husband received was amazing. The bad reviews on here must be fake. Dr. Lem and his staff are the most professional and knowledgeable you'll find in the area. He is the best in his field. read more

I started getting these debilitating sharp pains in one of my teeth (near the back). Eventually, my parents took me to see a dentist. I described the pain I was feeling and he had a look at it before telling me that all HE could do was try to patch the tooth and that it'd be more costly and without guarantee of fixing the problem. What he suggested was that I contact Dr. Lem and have HIM take a look at it, as the problem was with my wisdom teeth. I contacted Dr. Lem and got an appointment. His office is fairly small and staffed (from what I saw) mostly with elderly Asian women. I was fine with that (I'm Chinese, but don't speak it. My parents, on the other hand..). (All of this was back around June 2013, so I don't remember details of dates and pricing) Dr. Lem told me that the wisdom tooth causing me pain would have to be removed (along with the wisdom tooth below) and that, at that point, it was probably good measure to remove the other pair for symmetry in chewing. Initially, I agreed to a painkiller shot, but another dentist (I presume. Possibly an assistant) took a look at my X-rays and STRONGLY suggested I be put under for it. I told them, "Eh, you guys are experts" and agreed. We scheduled the surgery and they told me I wouldn't be allowed to consume any food or liquids (including water) for some time BEFORE the surgery. I can't remember, but I think it was around 8 hours, so they recommended I schedule it as early in the morning as possible (to bank on sleeping for most of those hours). I showed up for the surgery, they strapped me in the chair (it was pretty nice window view of Arcadia steets+roof tops) and they had a little chat with me. The next thing I remember was feeling unbelievably sleepy (like a deep sleep had been unexpectedly and annoyingly interrupted) and them telling me that the surgery was finished. I was in a seated position that WASN'T the chair they had me in, and the clock on the wall stated that nearly an exact hour had completely passed. I distinctly remembered checking my watch when I went in the chair, only to be "awakened" and having to accept that an hour of time had passed during the numerous blinks of my sleepy eyes. My mouth was still numb and I had the cotton, so I communicated to the best of my abilities. They gave me a prescription of one (1x) anti-biotic (Clindamycin HCl 150 mg) and one (1x) pain-killer (Ibuprofen 600 mg). I kept the bottles for memory's sake. Recovery was painless. I remember my oldest sister after she had hers removed and how painful she said it was. But I stuck to the prescription schedule as close as I could, and rinsed out my surgery sites as instructed (they gave me something that resembled a syringe without the needle tip). I don't remember the price, but from what I remember comparison-wise, it was around "average" to possibly "slightly-below-average". Compared to my sister's wisdom teeth removal, my costs were significantly cheaper. Dr. Lem was a great guy, his assistants plentiful, welcoming, and competent. I felt very safe around them as they explained stuff to me. Dr. Lem didn't seem to speak any Cantonese or Mandarin around me (my parents had to be explained stuff by his assistants as he explained it to me in English). I bumped into him months later at the mall, "!.. ARE YOU MY DENTIST!?" We had a small chat, I told him my recovery was without complications. My only regret was having bitten one of the assistants twice (x_X) during the appointment and after the surgery (Sorry!). read more

I brought my nine year old son to Dr.lem to have a infected tooth taken out.my son wa extremely nervous and scared.Dr.lem was very professional and comforting to my son.My son decided he did not want to go to sleep so he got the shots instead and was amazed by how easy and painless Dr.lem was with him..the staff was great with him as well. I recommend Dr.lem to all my family and friends read more

I had my teeth implants here and I have been very happy. I can eat anything now! The surgery went well and no complications. I am very confused with all the bad reviews. I am planning on going back to get my other implants after my extraction. Reason why he got 4 instead of 5 is the price. He's very expensive, but worth it. read more

This dentist is great. He is the only one I know who does stem cell dental implant. I saw his website and decided to do a consult there. His office has some cool X-Ray machine that can see my jaw bone in great detail he showed me where the nerve was, and explain the whole procedure to me. The implant surgery went well and I didn't have any pain; I can chew now and my new implants and teeth are working fine. I don't have to put up with my denture any more. The office has a great view of the mountains, which helped relax me when I was sitting on the dental chair. I'm glad that I made the right choice to see him. read more

I am absolutely angry about some of the reviews posted for Dr Lem. Nothing is further from the truth! He has been my oral surgeon for more than 10 years and is the most careful, professional, caring surgeon that I have ever seen. Always following up with his patients, checking on their well being, caring for patients that have received bad work from other surgeons. Even coming to his office to care for patients on weekends, when the office is closed! The medical profession needs more surgeons like Dr Lem! He has state of the art equipment, like the Icat xray machine. Why would someone want a fuzzy, distorted xray when they can have a crystal clear 3D image? He monitors every patient very, very closely while sedated with profophol ( no Michael Jackson type problems here) He explains every step thoroughly, before during and after every procedure so the patient knows exactly what to expect. If you want a dentist, then you should go see a dentist. If you want one of the best oral surgeons around, then you should go see Dr Leonard Lem. P.S. I am Caucasian, born and raised in the good old USA!!! read more

All the scary stories you heard about wisdom teeth regards being too painful and bleeding a lot. The whole process of scheduling a wisdom teeth appointment went smoothly. I gave them my dental insurance and explain that I need to get my wisdom teeth put out due to the aching and irritation as soon as possible. Today, I came in to put out my two wisdom teeths on my left side. Dr. Lem explain the procedure thoroughly making sure I'm okay and letting me know what he is doing during the dental procedure. I feel safe along with staff addressing any concerns I may be having. The staff educate me on what I can eat during my wisdom teeth removal and what I should avoid. Overall, I like how the clinic gave me the appointment after addressing my wisdom teeth. They made sure I have a follow up appointment afterwards in case I need to see Dr. Lem again. I would come back here again for my right side of wisdom teeth removal after my left side heals. I'm glad I did two wisdom teeths removal instead of four due to the pain after math. I highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a doctor to get their wisdom teeth removal during this time of pandemic. The cons of this clinic is that they are only open Tuesday and Thursday which it is hard for me to come in due to my work schedule. read more
