My new smile after whitening and after Dr.Balce fix my front broken teeth due to grinding. I'm beyond thankful Dr.Balce and staff!
Monserrat R.

If I could get it more stars, I would. I had a pleasant time during my cleaning & whitening. All of the staff members were extremely kind. The dentist, Dr. Balce, did a great job especially with the help of the assistants. I have never been in an office so clean and refreshing. Honestly, I do not review many places on Yelp, but I had to, so that this Dental office will be recognized for their great performance. I am already scheduled for more appointments. I could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to seeing everyone again.

Dr. Balce has been my primary dentist since 2015! She was the one who extracted my wisdom teeth and it was such a quick procedure, I felt better in just a few days! Dr. Balane is just as awesome; he did a smooth job filling a cavity. He is very professional and gives good tips about general oral health care. The office is always clean and it even has a little play area for kids. I highly recommend Dr. Balce and her staff!

My six year old daughter has been seeing Dr. Sheu at Hacienda Pediatrics since her very first…read moredental visit. Dr. Sheu and her staff are extremely well versed in making a child feel excited about visiting a dentist. My kids constantly ask me when their next dentist visit is going to be. They have state of the art equipment, tablets/screens playing cartoons for the kids while they are being worked on to alleviate their anxiety, to a prize/token system that rewards the kids for brushing their teeth and committing to good hygiene. Today was when Dr. Sheu did her magic. My daughter's first adult teeth began to protrude out behind her two baby teeth. Although her two baby teeth were very loose she refused to wiggle them due to fear of pain. I brought my daughter in to see Dr. Sheu and due to the trust and bond my daughter had built with Dr. Sheu, my daughter agreed to have Dr. Sheu extract the two loose teeth. Dr. Sheu was very patient with me and my six year old. She provide a detail explanation of the process and made the experience pain free for my daughter. Now my daughter has two teeth for the tooth fairy. If you are searching for a great pediatric dentist Dr. Sheu is the dentist to visit.

The receptionist was nice and asked Audrey (I'm assuming one of the dentists) what she should do and Audrey gave the fairly rude gesture/nonverbal with her hand and face as if why would I bring my son in without an appointment. The lady then said we will help you when we are ready. And eventually told me they can do only a consultation today but wouldn't use insurance as they did not have time. After hearing the absurd cost I went downstairs to the urgent care instead after receiving no info from this place on what to do. Two ladies at urgent care gave me so much info on what to do and apologized for the behavior of the dentistry as my boy was 3 years old with a tooth that was about to fall out from a fall. In the meantime we scheduled an appointment at a different pediatric dentist in Brea which treated us amazing and we will not be using hacienda pediatric dentistry as our main dentist. I didn't give one star as it seemed the receptionist was nice and just following direction from the Audrey girl. Treat people with some decency especially when it involves a 3 year old kid.

Tina is very compassionate and was so good with my son while prepping. I hope she reads this because I just want to thank her for being so good and gentle with him. Came back today to do the procedure and Dr Shiflett was so amazing with him also. We did the oral sedation this time. She explains everything so thorough and we couldn't be more grateful for her and her assistant Tina who were just so caring. I truly appreciate this office for everything they've done for my son. The front office is also very very nice. Superb customer service.

Unfortunately, Dr. Shiflett completely ruined our experience with this practice. Her attitude is condescending and lacks empathy. Rather than proactively treating my son's tooth or explaining our options, she advised waiting until he was in pain and showing signs of infection just to clear it with insurance. Dr. De Guzman handled a similar issue right away, proving this was completely unnecessary. We will not be returning. It's disappointing to leave Dr. De Guzman, but Dr. Shiflett's dismissive demeanor and poor patient care are unacceptable.

All 3 of my children go here (2 toddlers, 1 teen). ALWAYS a pleasant visit…read more Very professional & caring staff. They've always taken the time to explain treatment beforehand & go out of their way to ensure the kids have a trauma free visit. Thanks lady's (-; See you next time

Our appt was at 2pm which we showed up and checked in at 150pm. Waited until 215pm, walked over to…read morecheck with the front desk lady. Saw there were two kids on the check-in list that came in 5min after us that were already inside (overheard) getting treatments done. Asked the front desk lady why were they seen before us despite us checking in before them. She said she'll check with the back staff and seated us. She later came back and then apologized to us that the back staff thought we've already been seen and left?! After the X-ray and cleaning Dr Ng showed up and she was UPSET that we were upset!!!!?! Raised her voice and talked over us that she had 3 appts at 2pm and it doesn't matter who signs in first, the back staff gets to determine who gets to be seen NOT in timely order. She was worked up which got me even more irritated. I was so done with this nonsense! She CLEARLY weren't on the same page with her front desk lady! Their excuses did not line up! So now it's my fault for voicing the fact that we were left waiting in the lobby for no good reason? She then backtracks claiming that's not what she meant. They were just "backed up". Tbh if I hadn't walked over to check the sign-in list how much longer do we have to wait? Were they really backed up? Or so they thought we were done and left so we'd never be called in? And apparently we should be expected to check-in on time if not early and just wait around until they prioritize other patients AND cannot question why those who showed up later gets to be seen first. Unbelievably rude and unprofessional! Especially Dr Ng! She WILL and ABSOLUTELY did turn her staff's mistake and blame it on the client/s

I had been going to this dental office since 2009 for an implant . The doctor is nice, however he…read moremakes you wait a long time because he over overlaps his appointment with numerous patients. I was ok with that because I thought he was just a busy dentist since he is only in the office twice a week. What really made me weary is that I found out that the dental office has been billing my insurance for work I'm sure I haven't been getting. Like a cleaning that I supposedly had in Oct. 2010 just because it was written in my chart... when I tried talking to office manager, her explanation was that dentist wrote cleaning treatment in chart and therefore I had the cleaning performed. Whoever decides to go to this office please be very cautious of what you are getting billed for and periodically verify with insurance. As soon as I get my implant teeth finalize I will be looking for a new dentist. I would leave now but I paid for most of the work in advance

Very very very very very bad service, I have to use five "very" to express my feelings. Not only…read morelet you wait for a long time after you check in for your appointment time (and we are always on time for our appointment) but also very rude. Always charge you more and always ask you to do some fillings which you don't really need to do. NOT RECOMMEND for anyone, if you love your kids don't ever go there.
