I have been a patient of Dr.Lee for 10 years. He is very good, thorough and professional. Office is clean and staff is friendly. Dr. Lee cares a lot but sometimes he speaks fast with mask on so hard of hearing. read more

My cousin referred me to Dr Lee. Our first visit was this past week and I can tell you that he really cares. I don't personally get my services done here because I go to another dentist but my kid does. Dr Lee is really good with kids. He is kind, gentle and most importantly patient. He is skilled and also takes his time and makes sure that the kids are comfortable all the way. Definitely recommend! read more

Dentists are very hard to scale especially when you have had mediocre ones before and are just blown away by great service, but Dr Steven Lee is awesome!! I came to him after a referral and how they raved about him and his work. You know as a skeptic, i was like ok suree, but Dr Steven Lee is very nice and has great bedside manners. He is very thorough with his work and actually points out which areas he is working on and what I should do. I believe the wow factor would be that when he applies anethestic, you do not feel the pinch of poke of the needle to your mouth. I mean thats freaking amazing! He will show you pretty much a before, during and after of your tooth so you are fully aware of how your teeth is being worked on. Seriously! He is a great dentist with makes sure that you are never in pain! He will ensure you are a happy customer and is always willing to work with you. I have been going to him ever since! =d read more

Steven Lee, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Monterey Park, California

This is my first visit to Dr. Lee's office for dental cleaning and examination. Wow! Was I impressed with Dr. Lee, his staff and office setting! First off, Lucy is really a very charming, professional and friendly person! If I'm not mistaken, I believe she manages the office and, if so, is very organized and helpful! In the various times I've spoken with--and received emails-- from her I've found her to be very polite and courteous. Truly, she is a pleasure to talk to! I really like Dr. Lee because he is very articulate, knowledgeable, and patient when explaining and showing you what finds during the course of his examination. He takes his time in talking to you, and I never felted rushed or that he was in a hurry to get me out the door. He also cleans your teeth, and does a very through job. It was a pleasure to meet him! I also liked his dental assistant, who seemed to know what to do and when without a lot of prompting during the examination. She, too was very helpful! The office was well prepared to open up in accordance with guidelines establish for dental care during the covid-19 pandemic. Briefly, no waiting in the reception area, everyone was properly masked and covered as if they were preparing to perform surgery (LOL)! They have you use generous amounts of hand sanitizer before you enter the exam room and before you leave the office. Also, you place your mask on a fresh piece of paper towel that is laid on a clean tray (inside of mask is facing down to the tray), then have you thoroughly rinse your mouth before the doctor comes in, then after he is done. You also have to submit a questionnaire when you arrive regarding covid-19. Even the pens are covered in plastic to keep them germ free. Given how thorough they are to keep covid-19 at bay, I'm sure they wipe-down and sanitize everywhere when a patient leaves. I also thought the fees charged are very reasonable, and Lucy will explain them too you at the time you make your appointment. Any follow-up visits, which I have, she will also tell you what the fee is. I highly recommend this dental practice, and now that I have been there, I can understand why Dr. Lee and his staff deserve so many 5-star ratings, including mine! read more

If you're like me and you browse through yelp looking for professionals that's highly recommended by others, LOOK NO FURTHER! Dr. Lee and his team are beyond great. He takes to his time to talk to his patients and explains everything in a way that's easy to understand. Very friendly and easy to talk to unlike other dental providers I've dealt with in the past. I highly recommend Dr. Lee and has recommended him to my family as well. read more

Thorough, skilled, and a perfectionist - all qualities you would need in a great dentist and all of the qualities I would use to describe Dr. Lee. And he accepts my work dental insurance. SCORE. My husband and his parents have been going to Dr. Lee for awhile so I decided to jump on the bandwagon. I had a nightmare-inducing dentist back in SF (she improperly filled a lot of cavities that were most likely unnecessary fillings) so going to a new dentist makes me more than a little nervous. Dr. Lee has been slowly reconstructing my fillings and while it's long and laborious work, he's doing a wonderful job. My teeth are feeling great and he's always very attentive to the patient's level of sensitivity & pain. Dr. Lee is right down the street from my house and Lucy the assistant/receptionist is a sweetheart. Highly recommend! read more

I wish I could give six stars but I guess five will have to do...Dr. Lee is the best. If you like to wait long to be treated, hassle with nagging secretaries, deal with lazy dentists, or feel like just another dollar bill then don't come here:) Dr. Lee actually cares and you feel it the first time he speaks and treats you. I'm a customer/fan for life. read more

This review is long overdue. I've been coming to Dr. Lee's office since I was a child and he is 100% the best dentist! He is very gentle when in your mouth and you don't even feel the needle when he administers numbing shots. He is super patient and always answers every question. All the staff is super friendly too! I highly recommend going here if you're in search of a new dental practice. I wish I could give them more than five stars! read more

I recently switched over to Dr Steven Lee. Before, I have not been happy at all with previous dentists for one reason or another. This time I was determined to do my research. My research paid off...Big time, beyoud my expectations! The staff he has are friendly, and professional. The office, waiting room, and examination rooms are clean, and inviting with a beautiful "green belt" view. The best part is Dr. Lee, he is the best dentist I have ever had. Very professional, and has a relaxed and easy going way of helping you feel more relaxed. After two procedures: Crown, and veeners, with excellent results. I would highly recommend him to you. If you are researching a Dentist, you have succeded, your done. read more

I first saw Dr. Lee after my wisdom tooth spontaneously cracked in half a few years ago. Yipes! I thought the tooth was a goner, but his awesome hygienist/assistant/all-around-doer-of-stuff got me in for an appointment promptly, and Dr. Lee did the biggest filling I've ever seen and managed to save it. Extra points to him for not being one of those dentists that says "What? Wisdom tooth? I'll schedule the extraction for you..." I used that tooth, and this guy was willing to go the extra mile to let me keep on using it. And it didn't cost an arm and a leg... or a tooth. =) I'm also a big crybaby about needles going near my mouth, but Dr. Lee makes it quite painless and as non-miserable as needles in your mouth can be. My cleanings are always efficient, sparkling, and free of nicked gums, and all my fillings have been minimally unpleasant and expertly fitted. Two thumbs up! read more

First of all, I am writing this review from the point of view of a guy who has a deep distrust for mechanics and dentists. I haven't been to a dentist or needed one for over 20 years. (No, my teeth aren't gross. I brush, floss, and whiten, regularly.) I just know of bad experiences where myself and friends have been ripped off because our lack of knowledge is taken advantage of. But my wife's bridge fell out and we needed an emergency dentist visit. Since I felt finding a dentist who is both great and honest is like a crap shoot lottery win, I called my cousin in Hawaii who is a dentist and he recommended Steven. So I called his office at 9 am sharp. I got an answering machine and explained the situation and got a call right back. The assistant was polite, informative, attentive, and scheduled us in between clients that morning. To sum the entire experience up, Dr. Lee was surprisingly EXCELLENT in all categories. All the positive yelp reviews are true. Like the others, Dr. Lee educated us while he performed the dental work with great skill. My wife said her teeth fit even better then when it was originally done. Dr. Lee didn't pressure us for more services or expensive options. He did only what was absolutely necessary for my wife. She went from stressed and distraught to happy and satisfied. He even volunteered information about new dental technology that gave us a less expensive, cost effective solution in the future. But I also noticed that Dr. Lee is fair and straight forward as well. You won't have to worry about a bait and switch routine or inferior work because of lower costs. He'll educate you with options ranging from good quality to the very best and let you decide what works for you. I'm actually considering scheduling a full exam and cleaning for myself after my wife's next month. That's as good as it gets for me. read more

I don't understand why we are so concerned about being judged by our dentist. I mean why do we all aggressively brush our teeth and floss way more often in the week leading up to our dentist appointment? We don't aggressively take medications more than normal in the week leading up to a doctor's appointment. We don't get our hairs in the best shape possible prior to showing up at the barbers. So why are we so worried about being judged by our dentists? Like the disappointment by our dentist in finding out we only brushed once on Wednesday would be too devastating and therefore we should attempt to trick them by being on our best behavior leading up to the appointment like the weeks leading up to Christmas. First off, it's the dentist, not fucking Santa Claus. Secondly, like Santa Claus any experienced dentist can probably call you out on your bullshit. You think a week of longer than usual brushing is going to hide the fact that you never brush your teeth every time you get really sleepy or you get back late/drunk? Either way, if this describes you and your irrational aversion to being judged by your oral hygienist then you should use Dr. Steven Lee as your dentist. As the young impoverished student period I didn't have dental insurance and so I didn't go to the dentist for like 2 years. Then when I graduated and got a job with a very good dental plan, I also entered the young invincible period of my life and continued to neglect seeing a dentist for another year. Finally, when I entered the nagged by your parents to go to the fucking dentist period and randomly selected Steven Lee from other other reviews. Having not seen a dentist in like 3 years made me hesitant to schedule an appointment. I was expecting enough grief about why I haven't seen a dentist to make Charlie Brown jealous. However, Dr. Steven Lee and his staff were the exact opposite of what I was expecting. They were very professional and nonjudgmental. My teeth had obvious staining and other minor problems which Dr. Lee explained step by step. This is perhaps why Dr. Lee my be my favorite dentist. He's very calm and diligent and explains everything fully so you know what's going on. Unlike other dentists that just do their job and are in and out of your mouth like a grape you didn't notice had gone bad, Dr. Lee explains everything he is doing. He doesn't try to hide the ball like other dentists (who are probably paranoid that by revealing the secrets of their dental techniques I would suddenly know how to perform dental work and open a rival dental office next door). What further distinguishes Dr. Lee from other dentists is that he's a full time dentist not a part-time dentist part time salesman. He sees some potential problems with the development of my teeth but nothing critical and therefore suggests, but doesn't try to sell you procedures like your life and the life of everyone you cared for depended on it. I greatly appreciate his no pressure recommendations. He explained the pros and cons of the decision and left the decision up to me. The only downside is the building is a little old and shabby compared to other dental offices I've been to. I think it us to be old apartments before. However, I'm there for a dentist appointment and not enjoy the facilities appointment. Plus because of the nature of the small office I was seen right away without much of any kind of waiting. So in conclusion if you want a nonjudgmental dentist that explains everything about the condition of your teeth in a frank manner than come see Dr. Lee. If you rather be pressured into buying procedures that you may not need right now then you should probably see someone else... like a therapist. read more

I've been going to Dr. Lee for quite a few years now and I'm always happy with the thoroughness and informative narrative of the procedures being performed on me. He's always been easy going and very concerned with one's level of comfort during the process and is attentive to his patients needs. His pricing is fair and for me the location is pretty hard to beat. If you're looking for a pain free dental experience that cares about quality then I high recommend Dr. Lee. read more

The best dentist I have ever had. He does things thoroughly and very good at what he is doing. I wish I had him as my first dentist so I didn't have to go through so many bad fillings on my teeth. read more

I've been going to Dr. Lee for several years now and have been very happy with his services. He is very thorough in checking your teeth, monitors any problem spots, and does a great job cleaning. He explains procedures when he's doing them so that you feel more at ease knowing what's about to happen. He takes a lot of time doing his work carefully and making sure you are comfortable. I've never felt rushed through an appointment. Highly recommend! read more

First time coming here and will definitely come back. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He guides you through your particular situation and let's you know what needs work. No up-sell or pressure to buy products like other dentists. Price was very reasonable. One of the best dentist visit ever. read more

Dr. Lee is the Dentist for my family. We all like is the fact that he explains and describes the procedures to us. He guides you through your particular situation and let's you know what needs work. Who does that in today's world? We can easily make appointments and I have never had to wait long. I have yet to get a chance to read the many magazines he has in his lobby (ha-ha). He is very knowledgeable and we all completely trust his recommendations and work. My family fully recommends Dr. Steven Lee. He is Awesome! read more

Dr. Lee does fantastic work, and it is obvious he is very knowledgeable. I came to him for fillings and he did a great job. My teeth look so good. I will definitely come back again. read more

This guy is great. I was referred to him by a friend who has been using his services for several years now and I was not disappointed. He keeps you informed of what he is doing and is very gentle. I had not seen the dentist in years, and when I was done with my cleaning, I couldn't believe my eyes! I am headed back to get 2 fillings. Dr. Lee was great at letting me know what things were problems, potential problems, and possibly not problems at all... I found this to be very refreshing way of doing business. Bottom line is that he is a professional who really seems to care about his patients. Highly recommended. read more

The BEST around. GREAT with any age patient. He had the patience and knew exactly what to do and say to help our daughter get over her extreme fear of going to the dentist. They are very thorough and explain everything they do. Very happy having Dr. Lee as our family dentist. read more
