I've been seeing Dr. Cuong Nguyen at El Segundo Beautiful Smiles for several years and I've always…read morebeen happy about my visits. From the moment you check in, the friendly front-desk team knows. My cleanings with Anisha are the highlight of my dental calendar. She walks me through every step of what she's doing and offers real-world cleaning tips. She's so memorable and her manner so pleasant, it doesn't even feel that bad when it becomes very clear to both of us that I haven't been flossing as much as I should. Sigh. Cuong Nguyen handles fillings, crowns, and brings up X-rays on screen, explaining exactly what's going on, in terms I understand. Some common themes across the office: * They only recommend the work I actually need (i.e. no up-selling) * Appointments start on time * The office is spotless * People are friendly Yay. Patiently waiting for my next visit with Anisha

The numbing injection was probably the least painful one I've ever had, and I've been to quite a few dentists over the years prior to finding this office. Abigail, the hygienist, is also so sweet. I let her know I had some sensitivity beforehand and she was extra careful the entire time. She still did everything she needed to do without making the process feel unbearable. The front desk staff are always kind and welcoming. They're always informative whenever I have questions and they make sure to go over everything with me at checkout. Overall, everyone here makes going to the dentist feel less stressful.

I rarely leave reviews, but my experience with this office has been incredibly frustrating. I…read moreactually like the dentists and think they seem competent, but the way the office is managed has been terrible. In July, I received a large bill for dental work that had been done in April. When I came back for a cleaning and X-rays, they gave me an estimate for additional work that seemed extremely high. I told them it didn't make sense because I was supposed to be in-network. That's when they told me I was not. I checked with my wife, and she had also been billed at out-of-network rates. I called the office, and they said they would issue a refund and send me a corrected estimate using the in-network rates. Two months went by with no refund and no call. I had to follow up again before they finally issued the refund, but I still did not receive the corrected estimate. They told me they would call me back with it, and now another month has passed with no call. There was actually quite a bit more back-and-forth and several other issues along the way, but I'm trying to keep this review as brief as possible. It's too bad because the dentists themselves seem good. The owner really needs to get the administrative side of the practice under control, whether that means better processes or new office management. I would also strongly recommend that patients carefully review their bills and make sure they are being charged correctly. My mistake was assuming the office was handling the insurance and billing properly.

BEWARE: Before my appointment, Toothopia confirmed that I did not have dental insurance. During the…read moreappointment, I was initially told that I had around 3 cavities, then 4, which already surprised me because I've never had more than one or two cavities at a time in my life. Then, when I got to checkout, they again confirmed that I was uninsured and suddenly told me that I had 6 cavities. I asked why the dentist looking at my teeth said I had 4 and the lady at check out said the dentist had mispoken on how many based on the scans? They quoted me approximately $2,000 for the recommended dental work. Going from 3 to 4 cavities during the exam to 6 at checkout, along with a $2,000 treatment quote, felt extremely strange to me. The whole situation just felt off, and I became suspicious enough that I did not feel comfortable moving forward without another opinion. I went to a completely different dental office, had new X-rays taken and a full exam, and they told me that I have zero cavities. I had them double check as I was shocked to hear this, and also then after explained the situation that had occurred here. And they again confirmed that no, I had no cavities. I understand that dentists can sometimes interpret things differently, but the difference between being told I had 3-4 cavities, then 6 cavities, being quoted around $2,000 in treatment, and ultimately having another dentist find none at all is pretty shocking. I'm extremely glad I trusted my instincts and got a second opinion before agreeing to treatment. I would not go here and am at a loss of words for the situation Toothopia nearly put me in.
