I also received a consultation with Dr. Girgis and he took a look at my dental situation and agreed with my dentist on the proposed course of action. Even with all of that work he and his staff did for me he refused to let me pay and told me they were happy to help. What kind of provider does that anymore? I wish I had known about this dental office years ago, I might have saved myself a lot of dental woes had I had the quality care Dr. Girgis and his staff provide.

The ladies at the front desk are also super helpful as well. For insurance, they accept most PPO however they do not accept HMO or Medi-Cal so that's something to keep in mind when planning a visit. The place is well kept and clean. They have their own designated parking lot behind the building which is nice not having to worry about finding street parking. Before coming here, I was deciding between two dental offices and I'm happy that I went with Cedar Smiles.

Very easy to relate with. The dental assistants make you feel relaxed. They go over everything they do , with you to make you feel comfortable. Then there's Dr. Shawn, what a professional at his job. I'm a 62 year old man, and the biggest baby when it comes to dental work. It took me a few years to build up the nerves just to go see the dentist. After 6 implants, I kick myself for not coming sooner. It was so easy and painless. Dr. Shawn went over everything in detail, we made a plan , and he did the work. I can finally eat on my right side. Man, the quality of my eating life is back. THANKS VERY MUCH TO YOU DR. SHAWN AND YOUR GREAT STAFF GETTING ME THROUGH THIS . I LOVE MY TEETH .

    This review is years in the making. I don't typically write negative reviews, especially for small…read morebusinesses, because I understand one experience may not reflect the majority. But in this case, I feel it's important to share. I came to this office years ago after moving to Cerritos, right before my wedding, simply looking for a new dentist and a routine cleaning. They had great reviews, which is why I trusted them. From the start, I was told I had extensive issues--multiple cavities needed to be redone and several crowns were recommended. This was surprising to me, as I've consistently gone to the dentist and had never been told I needed such drastic work. Still, I trusted their assessment. The procedures that followed were some of the most painful dental experiences I've ever had. They took hours, felt extremely aggressive, and left me in severe pain afterward--far beyond what I've ever experienced with dental work. I have a high pain tolerance, and this felt very wrong. What was most frustrating was what happened next. I returned multiple times explaining that I couldn't sleep, eat, or function due to the pain. Each time, my concerns were dismissed and attributed to things like not flossing (umm I couldn't floss because of the extreme pain), which didn't make sense given the level of pain I was in. After pushing back repeatedly--especially with my wedding just days away--I insisted something was seriously wrong and requested further evaluation. It turned out I needed three root canals as a result of their prior work. Separately, the crowns that were placed caused ongoing issues. Eating anything with texture would cause gum pain, and I noticed unusual gaps that trapped food. When I brought this up, I was told the only solution was to redo the crowns at additional cost. My crowns also came off. Later, I happened to see a different dentist at the same office (a female provider who may have been temporary), and she immediately noted that the crowns had been placed at an awkward angle. She corrected them, and since then, I've had no pain and no further issues such as crowns falling off. I ultimately switched dentists and have not needed any major dental work since--just routine cleanings every six months, with no recurring problems. Based on what I went through--particularly the aggressive treatment, the outcome, and the dismissal of my concerns--I feel it's important for others to have full context before making a decision.

Dr Stolz and her assistant Lenden did an amazing job, through the removal of the old crowns and the temporary replacements. My concerns were from the experience that I had from another practice 30 years ago when the old crown was first put in. The service and the experience was NIGHT & DAY between the different practices!!! My temporary crowns look like PERMANENT crowns! I'm not so anxious now for my permanent crowns since my temporary teeth looks so much better than my old crowns. Thank you, so much Dr Stolz & Lenden!!!!

I had a cleaning and exam scheduled for today, but I was required to cancel due to a jury duty summons. When I contacted the office to reschedule, I was informed that the next available appointment for a cleaning is not until January, which would result in an interval of nearly a year between cleanings. A similar situation occurred last year when I needed to cancel an appointment due to my mother undergoing a serious surgical procedure. In both instances, the cancellations were the result of unavoidable circumstances rather than discretionary or elective changes. I understand that the practice operates with a full schedule, and I appreciate being placed on the cancellation list. However, I also have dental insurance that includes coverage for two cleanings per year, and it is concerning that I may be unable to utilize this benefit due to limited scheduling availability. Being asked to wait an additional five to six months for an appointment appears excessive under these circumstances. I do not have a pattern of frequent cancellations, and I would appreciate consideration for patients who must reschedule due to obligations that are outside of their control.
