I HEART SUGARBUG I was referred to this dental office by several friends with little ones. When I asked what they loved about their experience they all said the following: the staff, the vibes, and the knowledge of the dental team. When we took my son to his first visit, I understood instantly what my friends were talking about. The front desk crew was exceptionally kind and welcoming (my toddler loves attention so this was great). The atmosphere of the building, while at times hectic, just felt fun like everyone loved working there. When it was time to leave, they made sure we were set with our next visit and were prepared to answer any and every question we had. Later, when my husband and I had a question about insurance, their insurance rep took the time to thoroughly and knowledgeably explain our benefits and made sure we didn't feel overwhelmed or confused. We just felt cared for from start to finish! Bonus: my son is OBSESSED with brushing his teeth now.

I found Sugarbug Dental when a friend referred me here. This was about 3 years ago and the first visits were 5 star, but I have noticed in the last 1.5 years that the customer service has gone down hill. It appears they have expanded so much that they don't even have time to address their clients discomfort in an appropriate time frame. This week I found that my daughter had a chipped tooth, with an exposed root, and they found it appropriate to have my daughter wait over 6 months to have it corrected because this was their soonest appointment. My daughter was comfortable here and this is what is so important to me. So for the last 1-1.5 years I have dealt with the minimal effort customer service, arriving for a confirmed appointment to be told it was cancelled by the office and they would not see us, to no return phone calls, promises from the management team (Patricia, Lizette and Teresa) with no follow through. I have requested on multiple occasions that my contact information or my email address be forwarded to the owner of the business so I could communicate my concerns, but I have never heard back. My daughter cracked a tooth this week and they saw us the following day. The hygienist told me, "that's not cracked, it's chipped". I explained that I was sorry but I didn't know the difference. For a moment I felt bad, but then the dentist confirmed that the tooth had an exposed root and that we needed to schedule an appointment to have it fixed. Their earliest appointment was for July 2020, OVER 6 MONTHS FROM NOW. When the scheduler asked a manager about it, she came to make excuses for the long wait and I explained that it seemed cruel to allow a young child to wait for 6 months with an exposed root and I asked if there were other options and was given a list of excuses. As we were leaving Sugarbug Dental my 6 year old said "mommy, they are nice to me but they are rude to you". I have since found a dentist to see and examine her and have surgery scheduled for 1 month from now, possibly sooner if there is an opening. Again, my daughters comfort is the most important aspect, but it's pretty sad that she can also feel the mood present at Sugarbug Dental. This has not always been the way they operate so I hope this review helps.

Overbooked and waiting forever

On the dental side, the last time I came they tried charging me a fee for missing an appointment that they actually had called me apologizing to reschedule. They finally waived the fee after arguing with them. Make sure you always get a name when rescheduling. Now I'm here for my 11:30am orthodontic appointment and it's now 11:50am with no end in sight. No regard for my time, if I was 20 minutes late they'd charge me and wouldn't see me! To be fair though I absolutely love Dr. Nanda. He's definitely a gifted orthodontist and makes my daughter feel comfortable. I just wish it wasn't such a hassle getting to see him.

See all

We are all so grateful for Dr. Lee and his amazing front and back office staff. For almost three…read moreyears, they've been treating my son for his braces, and the experience has been nothing short of wonderful. Everyone is always so professional, kind, and welcoming. The front office always tries their best to work around the office busy schedule to accommodate you. Back office is always efficient and they work great as a team. Dr Lee truly knows his craft and takes the time to ensure every detail is perfect. No literally every detail !! He's really a perfectionist for the perfect teeth !!! I would highly recommend Dr. Lee and his entire team to anyone looking for exceptional orthodontic care! You'll be in great hands !! We are so happy with all the care that was given my son loves his smile

I gladly and happily recommend Dr. Lee and his office(s) for any ortho work you need! He has an…read moreoffice in Oxnard and one in Santa Paula, so that's a plus for convenience depending on where you are located. Staff at both locations are professional and helpful. I have been contemplating braces for quite a while, and as an adult patient I had quite a few questions! My teeth are a mess, and I should have had jaw surgery about 35 years ago. Sadly, that didn't happen so Dr. Lee doesn't have a whole lot to work with in my teeth. LOL He was clear, upfront, and communicative in what he anticipates he can do with my teeth. So I took the plunge and now have braces! I know I will have many more questions as my treatment progresses, but I feel confident in my choice with Dr. Lee and I feel respected as a patient. Highly recommend Dr. Lee and his offices.
