    enjoying a view of the zen garden
    Taelor P.

    I haven't been to the dentist in a very lonnnng time. Now that I have benefits through my job, I have been on a search of a new dentist and came across Dr. Mendoza's office. I had my first appointment for an exam on my wisdom teeth and the service was beyond excellent! April and Kim are so sweet and very welcoming. Norma is great as well and so helpful. Dr. Mendoza made me feel very welcomed as a first timer and answered all of my questions and concerns. I also love the atmosphere of the office. It's so zen and relaxing and makes you forget you're at the dentist. I also love the zen garden -- a nice touch of detail! I'm so happy I found a great new home for my teeth!

    I'm a satisfied client of 7 years! Thanks to 1-800-Dentist, they connected me with only The BEST Dentist in Long Beach! Dr. Mendoza is incredibly experienced, uses the newest technology, and really looks out for the best interest of his clients. He keeps an eye on my old fillings, will be proactive when he anticipates a problem, but won't proceed with anything unnecessary. I love his sense of humor, too! He's like the cool uncle you wanna sit by the bar with & share adventure stories! Lol :D I've had to come in more frequently during my first years due to my bad genes and wear-n-tear, so I quickly got on a 1st name basis with everyone there! April runs the front desk & has to be the one to break down any extra costs. Norma, the assistant, is super nice & nurturing! And there is a new, younger dental hygienist, Kim Ngyuen, who is beyond kind, gentle, yet thorough! They will call to remind/confirm your appointment about a week in advance as well. As soon as you walk in, you'll get a sense of tranquility with the sounds of mellow music & water fountains flowing through out the place. The zen garden, therapeutic aroma and Eastern decor also really set the mood that there's nothing to be anxious about! You're in excellent hands at Dr. Mendoza's dentist!!

    I had such an AMAZING first time experience at Dr. Mendoza's practice. First impressions were inviting & calming. Each one of his staff members were so personable & I could really tell the loved working there. Dr. Mendoza made me so feel comfortable & made sure all my questions were answers. I'm so excited for my next visit.

    My beautiful view from my chair!!

They explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and checked in throughout the procedure, which made a huge difference. For the first time, I can say my dental fears are basically gone.

She really takes the time to get to know me and remembers conversations from six months prior. She's amazing! Office is run super well. Carla, whom I believe is the office manager also remembers conversations we've had and is a super sweetheart. Everyone in the office is super nice and super professional. Insurance pays for most everything but from what I can tell, prices are super competitive. I've referred my partner and coworkers and will continue to refer others!

When I finally brought it up here, Dr. Christopher suggested the simplest, most reasonable solution, and I was honestly blown away. The entire fix took about 45 minutes, and the results are incredible. It was one of those things that maybe no one else would notice--but I noticed every day. Seeing it resolved so skillfully and efficiently meant more than I can say. His precision, experience, and problem-solving ability truly impressed me. On top of that, my teenage daughter and I have been coming here for regular cleanings for the past two years, and every visit has been consistently positive. The staff is kind and professional, the hygienists are thorough and gentle, and Dr. Russell always offers knowledgeable, thoughtful recommendations without pressure. This practice is the rare combination of skill, integrity, and genuinely caring dentistry. I'm incredibly grateful to have found Russell J.

They are both very kind, honest, patient, thorough, caring, and detailed. I can tell they genuinely care about their patients and aren't just in it for the money.

I highly recommend this dentist office and especially if you're a nervous dental patient like me. Ask to see either of the two brothers. They will make you feel at ease. The front office staff is also very friendly and helpful. There's also a dental assistant there that I really like but I didn't get her name. She's also patient and calming.

Instead, from the moment I walked in, the front office staff had poor attitudes and made the experience uncomfortable. Almost immediately, they began pushing a 3-D imaging service and asked me to sign a consent form. Be cautious you do not have to agree to additional imaging if you are not comfortable. I was told I had multiple cavities. That alone shocked me.. After spending nearly four hours there, they claimed I needed a $500 deep cleaning and an additional $2,000 worth of dental work. What made things worse, I brought my daughter with me. Her teeth are in great condition, yet they attempted to charge for a routine cleaning even with my PPO. She only had X-rays and the 3-D imaging. I had to specifically request a routine cleaning for her, for a routine visit. They were taking so long. We didn't even get it. Some of the staff was outside drinking a coffee while we were waiting. Feeling uneasy, I sought a second opinion with another dentist using the same Delta PPO insurance. The second office found ZEROcavities, and my co-pay was only $100 for deep cleaning . They confirmed I did not need the extensive work that was recommended. That was extremely concerning. Even after spending hours there, nothing was actually done besides imaging, and I left feeling misled and pressured. They definitely overbuild. I agree with all the reviews that state that. They ended up charging me $60 for this visit and literally only did imaging. I do not recommend booking an appointment here. Please consider getting a second opinion before agreeing to any major treatment plans. Also be prepared to wait, and poor customer service. Unacceptable.
