My wife recently had work done at Gentle Dental in Avondale; this is her review:…read more I recently had a crown replaced. Dr. Le was a wonderful dentist; It was the first time I'd had work done from him, and right away I felt very comfortable with him and the work which he did. Abel was the dental assistant, and he is one who has worked on me before. As always, he was very professional and personable. He makes one feel "at home" in the chair and gives me great confidence in his capabilities. Angel, the hygienist, is another asset to the Avondale office, as are Monique and November, the receptionists. ALL are super people who make my dental visits actually enjoyable!

I would only recommend this dental office with strong reservations…read more One major issue I experienced was consistently extremely painful and stressful dental cleanings. After recently visiting other dental offices, I realized that cleanings should not be that uncomfortable. Though I do have a lot of respect for dental hygienists--their job of cleaning people's mouths is incredibly difficult, and I know I couldn't do this job myself. One time, they upsold me a very expensive mouthwash that cost over $50. I bought it because my cleanings were always very painful, and they claimed it would help by preventing buildup. But it didn't make any difference--it was a complete waste of money. I was a patient here for about five years, and another issue was that over time it became clear that communication was consistently lacking. The staff never directly explained their concerns with me. Good and timely communication helps prevent much bigger issues down the line, but unfortunately, that standard wasn't met here. Additionally, I never even knew who the actual dentist was--his name or even if it was the same person each time I visited. There was also a billing or coding error during one of my visits. Despite it being the office's responsibility to resolve and they actually promised to do so, I had to resolve the issue myself despite myself not being on the expert on the field. If you live in the area, I recommend exploring or at least looking into other options, such as Gentle Dental in Palm Valley or a private dental practice. These alternatives generally offer better continuity of care, lower staff turnover, and honest communication in difficult situations. And the dental cleaning to my honest experience is much less painful.

This will be the only review i will ever write about a dentist, through the years i never took care…read moreof my teeth i ignored oral hygiene. My anxiety was triggered my teeth problems, and these last couple months it got the best of me. The month of December i had a mental break down with a crackling sound in my mouth that i couldn't find out what it was. It made me clench my teeth and thought my molars were infected. I went to the first dentist and suggested i need four fillings, i went ahead and gave him my money. I thought it would cure me up and i would be on my way back to work again. Two weeks passed and i heard the same crackling sound and i kept clenching my teeth as if something was there. I decided to go back and informed them what was going on i saw a second dentist and suggested a deep cleaning. I went ahead and set the plan up and got treated for a deep clean. After a week that same feeling of anxiousness and depression was still there. The crackling sound was effecting the way i eat and i was obsessed of getting the feeling to go away. My mother suggested a different dentist so i went ahead and scheduled an immediate appointment. I explained to the new dentist that i had puss and felt something in my mouth so my teeth kept clenching. The third dentist referred me to an endodontics and did three key nerve test on the molars i thought were damaged or infected. When he was finished he suggested to have a root canal done. The root canal was finished and it was time to begin the healing process once again. Two weeks have passed and my mouth felt off, my mind was still occupied on knowing there was something in my mouth. At this time i felt useless, i wanted to give up and when i had my appointment for the cementing of my crown. I informed my third dentist that i need you too look at the right side of my mouth. I felt the puss and anxiety through my mouth an minutes after he seen that my upper molar was cracked. He suggested another root canal on the top molar just below the molar i just had a root canal done. My anxiety spoke for me and yelled extraction. I went through a dramatic experience because it was a January and at this time i had no job. I lost my mind because i thought i was going crazy and i was ready to petition myself into a physiocratic unit. This has to be my last hope and i will be okay from now on. The process of an extraction takes months to heal not just two weeks so i started my healing process once again. This time i had a bible, tusli tea, gaba calm supplements, veggie soup, yogurt soup and meditation guidelines to guide me. Once the two weeks passed i felt the crackling sound and diminishing anxiety through my whole body. My neck felt unease i did not want to eat, i scheduled an appointment and spoke with a PCP to help me with my diet or get a physical exam. Well, in that case my PCP prescribed me antidepressants on top of that i had the crackling sound on my teeth mocking me. Life was about to eat me up and take me away for good i felt. I entered the month of February mentally focusing on fighting on how to get my mind back in terms. I cried to release my anxiety i vented to my wife, i started doing medical marijuana but it did not help. On February 12, 2019 I woke up scared and in a panic state tears sunk me into my bed and i told myself i cant give up. I went online and searched for the nearest dentist i didn't care about qualities i was going to just go talk to five dentist today if i had or maybe even ten a day. So i seen Gateway Dental online that took my insurance, I spent almost all my life savings to help me with all my dental procedures. This was my last hope, and met Dr. Reid i informed him of everything that had happened to me. My mental state, my dental problems and my health i felt like pouring everything i got and requested his help. Dr. Reid listened to my whole story and wanted to evaluate my whole mouth, he wanted to know what was the cause. He was calm with the fifty questions i had for him, he took his time and informed me why i felt anxiety and why my bite was off. Before i finish this story do you know how hard it is to get a dentist attention and for him to actually care not just about money but mental and physical health. Dr. Reid did what other dentist did not do is take there time and evaluate your symptoms. The answer was right on the top corner of my molar. My wisdom tooth, I just had the procedure done today and my anxiety level was so high i honestly thought off funeral arrangements but no. His entire staff and team made you feel calm and relaxed. The oral surgeon who performed the procedure who i met for just 2 minutes made me feel relieved. Please share this with your friends, your coworkers and your loved ones this will be the only review i will ever write. If you are ever suffering from dental anxiety or dental problems I'm a speaking truth. I recommend this dentistry to anyone if you have questions go to Gateway dental. I am at peace

Again, after my consultation, I was waiting for the office staff to come speak with me about the cost of cleaning. Yes, I have to go back a second time to complete the cleaning, which is frustrating and inconvenient, but it could be worse. Yes, I was asked to put a deposit down for the cleaning, but I am sure this is because many people do not follow through. Again, it might be a minor inconvenience, but knowing I have the appointment is worth it, and they know I will be there. Great location easy to get in and out of the complex. I also have to say that several other patients were established that had a quick turnover compared to my initial visit, so I would say that overall, once you get past the initial visit, things will change within the office in the time you were there.

Personally I always dreaded going to the dentist as my childhood dentist caused me so much trauma. I avoided both doctors and dentists like the plague. Good thing I happened to be searching Yelp and found the best reviews of this place. I arrived with so many nerves, but left there feeling so happy and grateful that I found Dr. Catalina and her staff. The staff are professional, helpful and follow all protocols to protect their patients health and safety. I come from a family background of folks in the medical field and know proper protocols for patient health and noticed each individual make the proper decisions to follow health safety and sanitation guidelines. I was impressed at how they handled each task and how Dr. Catalina herself made me feel at ease, confident and comfortable in the chair. I couldn't believe it, but yes.. now I regularly attend dental appointments and know that when I step into her office, I will be taken care of and welcomed. I feel transformed and love by Dr. Catalina and her staff. From the All-Knowing Receptionist to the Hygienist to the Boss and everyone in between! I absolutely recommend Aesthetic Dental to everyone and anyone. Subsequently and sadly, I recently lost dental insurance and the staff let me know there are affordable cash rates so I could still attend so I'll be seeing them again in a few short months. Thanks Catalina and Staff for your superior service and care!

They connected with her and were genuinely loving. After giving Dr. Ryu a high-five, my daughter was so excited to show me how clean her teeth were. It was a wonderfully positive experience for her that really put us at ease. My wife and I are so grateful to have found such an amazing family practice for ourselves and now our daughter.

As far as the Senior Dentist Jamie Sanders - she seemed eager to make it right but my records were already exposed. Aside from this; the office is small and as a patient, I could hear everyone's dental needs due to the lack of walls protecting people's personal dental privacy needs. I heard courses of action, proceedings on medications; so forth and so on. Also, the technology for X-rays is just not there. On a positive: The technicians on the floor are super friendly and do try to help make each patient comfortable. The office is in a great location (right off the 10 freeway) and the entrance/consumer seating area was super quaint and comfortable. I decided to seek other dentistry experts for my dental needs. Perhaps this is a lesson for the future and patients can try this place in hopes that their rights are not violated also. Thanks for reading.
