Amy L.

Dr. Lam and his staff are very special to us. My husband was a DDS himself with a small practice in Orange County and he was in a bad motorcycle accident in 2020 and has a severe traumatic brain injury. He is half paralyzed, on a tracheostomy and g tube. He is nonverbal. It is quite a feat to get my dear husband to any medical appointment. Dr. Lam and his staff are so loving and kind and patient with John. They block off extra time to get him treated. Dr. Lam treats my husband as a professional colleague, and speaks to him about what he is doing, and shares the latest dental technologies with him. My husband's face lights up. Treating people with respect was always important to my husband and this is a very special place that gives him so much respect. We are very blessed to have this office on our care team!

My teeth before getting braces!!!
Mj P.

I have been thinking for many years to get braces. I have also been looking around in the area for many years since I know for braces I have to go at least once a month so I don't want to go anywhere far, however the quality has to be on point! :) Thankfully, I talked about this to one of my good friends and she has gotten her braces done here at star dental with dr. Lam. So, I decided to give this place a try. I booked an appointment for a consultation right away. After I went in, i was very impressed by all the staffs' kindness. On top of that, Dr. Lam is the most helpful person! He always explains everything very clearly, very kind, understanding! I was so glad I pick this place for my braces, it is one of the most beautiful journeys of my teeth transformation! And I am so excited to take it off tomorrow! I am not sure if I can add the final photo later on but if I can I will definitely do it! One last thing I wanna add is from my experience going to man places for regular cleaning! Star dental regular cleaning feels like a deep cleaning I went somewhere else! They really go above and beyond! I recommended this place to all my friends and families and I will keep doing it and definitely continue to come here! *clean *kind *professional *reasonable price You guys are the best, thank you so so much MJ

I look inside Star Dental.

The front office was so helpful, I got my appointments, started my dental work and let me tell you I needed a lot of dental work. The team was so helpful. I have anxiety, so they would ask me if I would like headphones to listen to music and offer me to be sedated which in my case helped a lot. They also give you a blanket to make you feel more comfortable. With all that said, I am very satisfied with my smile and I really recommend this dental office.

So I had to go back again for them to redo it. When leaving, I needed an implant so I made an appointment and asked if it is covered by insurance. Sure it will be I was told. After waiting months for my appointment, I show up and am handed a bill for $2,500 dollars. What?! And then I was told I didn't have enough on my insurance because of the chipped tooth repair work. I could have waited. Why didn't they tell me this when I asked?! Then I asked why this was so expensive and they said I'm being billed based on my zip code. Great, so they are overcharging me. Also, I needed to sign a form that I understand my dentist is an independent contractor. So they are like stylists at a hair salon renting a chair there? They have a big sign at the front saying how they were voted best this and best that. I wonder how much they paid for those. No way. I will never use them again and I don't recommend them at all. Liars, cheats and shoddy work. I'm looking elsewhere.

Dr. Yabuno is incredibly thorough and attentive, he takes the time to carefully check everything related to your teeth and overall oral health. I also want to highlight the other dentists in the practice, who are equally professional, knowledgeable, and provide the same level of quality care. I really appreciate how much they focus on preventative care, it makes a huge difference in maintaining long-term dental health. The dental hygienists are outstanding and truly elevate the experience. You can tell they care about doing a great job, and my cleanings are always detailed and gentle. The entire office has a very welcoming, family-oriented feel. The staff is kind, professional, and well organized. The space is always clean, and everything runs smoothly from check-in to appointment. They genuinely care about their patients and make you feel comfortable every time you visit. I highly recommend Torrance Dentistry to anyone looking for a dentist they can trust long term.

I recently returned after changing my insurance, and it was the best decision. Dr. Yabouno focuses on what you truly need and never recommends unnecessary treatments. He is thorough, honest, and consistently resolves issues with great care and precision. Most importantly, he is a dentist you can genuinely trust. I highly recommend him.

So far, pretty good. I had to wait about 30min after my appointment time, but these things happen…read more Dr. Lee was so personable, kind, knowledgeable. Just a very pleasant person to be around and I feel like he truly had my best interest in mind. I am so happy to feel like I found My Dentist. I found them through my insurance's provider website, then called to be sure they take Cigna PPO; they do. My insurance company royally screwed up and tried to say Dr. Lee was not in network. After talking with Jessica, they changed their tune to "Oh actually he is, let's get that re-worked." My only complaint is the $88 charge for "Oral hygiene instructions". I don't think "brush, floss, don't drink sugary drinks" is really $88 advice. If it's the after-care instructions for the gum thing I had done, isn't the after-care instruction just part of the procedure? Why a separate charge?

My 89-year-old mother was a patient of Dr. Lee until today when I found her almost in tears because…read morethe office manager, Crystal, who treated her so rudely when just trying to find out how much her next appointment might cost her because she received three different amounts from this office. She was continuously brushed off, calls not returned and was made to feel like their client was just a burden to her. I'm so angry that I have to drop my entire day to deal with CRYSTAL. What it took to get the doctor to talk to my mom directly was incredible. Beyond not understanding how to deal with clients in a professional manner, Dr. Lee actually told me that he wasn't happy that we were so upset and complaining. What?! It was the most remarkably disgusting position to take, but it explains so much how his office is run. One incident that I was particularly shocked by was something my mother told me some months back when she needed an implant. Dr. Lee assured her that he could do the procedure instead of going to the specialist that she was referred to, so she agreed, until she found out, by accident I believe, that he would have to borrow the equipment. That made both of us very uncomfortable and distrustful. But now that I've experienced his circus of an office, we decided it was time to find another dentist that doesn't make my mom cry.

I've been coming to Dr. Boots for a few years now. He and his entire team are very nice, welcoming,…read moreand skilled in what they do. I always have a pleasant experience here. I'm writing this review today specifically to highlight Alan. I came in 7/21 for a routine cleaning, and Alan was using an instrument that went pretty close to my gums so he recommended and I agreed to some numbing gel. Long story short, part of the numbing naturally went down towards my throat therefore my throat and mouth was completely numb. I freaked out because I was not able to swallow (or feel it at least) and I started to have a panic attack. Alan was so nice and patient with me. He noticed right away that I was not feeling well and we sat up as I took some deep breaths to relax. When I laid back down to continue the procedure, I asked him if he could talk to me about his day so I can be distracted and he did. Alan, thank you for your kindness and patience! This dental office has always provided great service but today was above and beyond.

I'm a bit heartbroken with this review. First of all Dr Boots is absolutely AMAZING at what he does…read moreno doubt about that. I can agree with those comments that say he's absolutely great in every aspect he's gentle, understanding, and doesn't push procedures you don't need like others do. Almost every time I've gone to him for over 10 years he's been the best with all my dental needs as well as my families. As a small practice I understand why he doesn't take any new clients cause his hours and his family needs are important and I understand that and respect that. When it comes to the front office it can be a bit frustrating & upsetting at times when phones aren't answered during work hrs or when appointments are canceled so last minute. I understand there are emergencies but contacting patients is important as well because they stop what they do to be there on time and part of customer service is communicating that. I've had pretty bad pain these past few days on a top right molar that I'm sure is going to be a Root Canal but I haven't been able to get a hold of anybody. I've called when they just open and have had to come in person during their work hrs and they are closed. No sign as a warning for patients. I understand the holidays are coming and at times they do close but I feel posting it in their front door or something would be the professional thing to do or The Staff taking care of that but at times it seems they don't care. The hours they have on their Yelp doesn't match in reality. I've tried calling several times and it's the same recording since we started coming 10 years ago it rings 2-3 times and then voicemail that It feels they never get to. I don't think I'm asking for a lot to be in the loop and know they will be closed from this date to further noice if that's the case. Maybe a new recording would be great it takes a few minutes to make one that sounds friendly and a bit more professional in my defense. Like I said I'm heartbroken because I really genuinely love coming to Dr. Boots but a bit more effort has to go into the front to feel some sort of compassion or to feel heard when someone is going thru some sort of pain and especially someone who is a recurring customer of 10+ years and has referred so many people here.. As desperate as I am I contacted another Dentist that gave me an appointment for Friday and even sent a text as a reminder and to save on my calendar.. that's all it takes and I felt heard. That's all...

They were the only dentist office that didn't demand I have a "new patient" appointment first. Instead, they realized I needed *emergency* dentistry. I was able to get an appointment quickly. I was seen by Doctor Sahar Mehr. She quickly assessed the issue and understood that all I really needed was a "reglue". She was very careful and confirmed if there was any sensitivity - surprise! there was, a LOT! She quickly numbed the area, and after a few minutes waiting for the novocaine to take effect, she applied the adhesive and reglued my crown. It was obvious she was a knowledgable and practiced dentist. If / when I do need a dentist in this area, they will be my first choice! Thanks again for the great work!

Dr. Sahar is quiet the dentist. She gives a excellent cleaning. Very impressed by her skill here…read more Also did a filling very well. A deep one that required a lot of work on her part. Next came a crown that was put on weeks later. A temporary and then the permanent was applied. Everything went very smooth. Clean office. A friendly receptionist.
