Great people from the dr to the assistants they took good care of me was nervous at first but then got thru it and the dr are gentle and make all procedures painless found my primary dentist office thank so much girls and dr read more

Avoid Dr. Shaila Scambati at all costs. I chose this office because of its strong Yelp reviews, but my experience was very different. I came in for one specific cavity with no pain, yet was presented with a $3,080 "package" including deep cleaning, irrigation, a possible root canal, onlay, and even a partial denture. I was not given the option to treat just the cavity I came in for. It felt like unnecessary services were being pushed instead of addressing my immediate concern. Although the office has many positive reviews, I was told gift cards are offered for reviews and that some may come from friends and family, which raises concerns about their authenticity. read more

I went in for my regular check up! I was nervous because I don't like dentist but Yanira changed my point of view for dentist! It was a great experience and Yanira was very patient with me and assured me everything was going to be easy and the best of all "no pain". I'm so grateful to Yanira for being so careful and professional. I will keep coming back. read more

I just read a review where you can't trust all the reviews on google (IT'S TRUE) because they give you a gift card for leaving a positive review and unlike myself I left a negative review about my experience with my kids service. I didn't get that gift card.But I guess is affecting them so I am getting bribe by the manager to remove my negative review and they will be give me a month off my bill from Ortho. What kind of dental office are they??? If you need a dentist please don't go to them save yourself a headache. Please read my review on Google was posted back on January read more

I left a Google review 5 stars because I thought it was a good office this is my new update. note: THEY GIVE PEOPLE GIFT CARDS FOR LEAVING REVIEWS SO DONT TRUST ALL THE REVIEWS. I found them on yelp trusted the reviews & I initially came for a root canal but they ended up filling cavities. Atleast 2 of my cavities are in pain. I've never experienced this. Although they did about 8 cavities it doesn't make sense to me why some are in pain and not all? Moral of the story is I can't eat on either side of my mouth now without pain. I'd personally say come at your own risk, I don't think I will be back because I've never had pain from a cavity. Everyone in the office is nice read more

This was my local dental spot. They took very good care of me, and have amazing staff. I moved to Fontana CA but continue to make the drive to this location because of their customer service. Had my two bottom wisdom teeth removed. Which I thought would have been painful when extracted but on the contrary, the removal was nice and easy and painless. Both sides healed up nice and quick. I truly recommend them they are the BEST. read more

Summer Smile - General Dentistry Near Me - South Gate, California

Best doctors and staff in the area. I refer patients to them all the time. Very well run office

My mother recommended me. They have weekend appt and are prompt and pleasant. Will try to work with you financially as well. My initial appt was pleasant and my second was amazing. Dominic, a hygienist, was awesome and did not hurt me. I was very pleased read more

The worst dental office ever. They took my money, you can not trust them. She (doctor) knows what I'm talking about. Very disappointed. On pandemic they took advantage of the situation changing to the insurance things that they never supplied or did. I rather stay away from them. She is a thief. THIEF She asked me for $1500 to star my process until my insurance acepte the claim, months later after insurance accepted she Dr. Shila forgot or pretend forget the $1500 and changed my insurance again plus additional charges for Covid mask and supplies that I never received. That's what they do, over charged to insurance and give poor service to the community. I'm sure they can't do the same thing to their own people. On west LA they can't do this. Pinches rateros de read more

Giving them 1 star i went in for a regular exam, they use very old X-Ray equipment, nothing is up to date, when I went in the place looked a mess. They told me i needed crowns, fillings and braces and that my insurance only covered a certain amount, the lady explaining the insurance information was pressuring me so they can run my credit to cover the rest of the work i needed, me knowing I was not going to get approved, but she literally pressured me to do it. They put me in a different room that looked a mess all dusty and broken was not clean at all. Horrible experience, the doctor even saw me waiting and not once did he even ask if i was getting help, another assistant passed by and saw me and did not ask me anything literally waited 1 hour just to tell me i needed to pay out of pocket. They did not even offer me to do whatever my insurance covered no cleaning at all that day, the least they can do since i waited almost 2 hours. read more

See all

This place and people are not honest the dentist wast not welcoming nor did she speak I was in pain my whole root canal procedure and every time I was telling her I can feel that she told me I was supposed to fill. I was numbed by a different person and left in a room for over an hour did not provide me with anything else after the dentist actually came in the room I passed out and she kept working after coming to I ask them for a min to raise up and she was bother by me passing out due to the pain. Afterwards she acted as though she did not speak English and she could not communicate with me when I was asking her about my tooth and after care She told me my tooth was loose, I told her again I was in excruciating pain and can she give me something for it she told me no she can not.My tooth is so hollow and loose now I'm in so much pain and I have not even received the crown and I was charged $2015 and the work is not completed and I'm scared to go back . I wanted to speak to someone in charge but everyone was acting like they did not speak English and told me to go to a endodontist. This was 9/9/25 on a Saturday my face was swollen for 4week and I'm still in the same amount of pain when I came in. The equipment was really old outdated and I was told I did not have any other cavities when I actually do have another cavity in my mouth with a broken tooth. I want to be reimbursed for the work that I paid for and did not receive. I don't feel like I should have to pay for work. I did not get.It is 10/27/25 still in pain looking for another professional to correct the problems that they caused as well as fixing the issue. read more

They'll try to drain you and your insurance for money. I went to another dentist and they told me that this office did a filling but i still have a cavity there. Been having issues since december with discomfort. read more

HORRIBLE ! Came in because my bracket broke and I just needed my wire cut. They told me since I never been I needed to get X-ray and full work up explained my dad had my 7 month baby and I need to hurry back home. One of the ladies offered to cut. It was a lady with blonde hair who was rude going in rooms discussing my situation and she's not even the one who I was speaking to. Then they tried to charge me $75 just to cut a wire out my mouth ??? read more

El peor servicio nunca tienen puntualidad no se porque se molestan en hacer appoiment si no cumplen con el horario.

excellent costumer service ! the staff is very well oriented & guides you through any questions .

My dental insurance expired so I looked into finding places with affordable dental care in the LA area that I could pay out of pocket. It was a terrible idea and I completely regret it because the denists were unskilled and unprofessional. Here's what happened: I came into the office and the dentist told me that I needed a crown for my tooth. They did the moulding and temporary casting so that I was on my way home to come back after the moulds were made in a few days. I live in Culver city, so it took me an hour to go there and an hour to go back home. The next day, I get a call from the dental assistant that the moulding didn't work and that they're sorry I have to come back in again. No problem, these things happen. I go back and get it re-cast. When I come back to get the crown done (this is now my third visit for a routine operation), they transfer me to a new dentist without asking, and he's probably the most unprofessional dentist I've ever seen. The first dentist was a quirky Korean man who sang along to the spanish music playing along in the background. This new dentist, however, was hitting on the dental assistant while I was lying there in the chair waiting for him to put on my crown so that I could GTFO. He starts putting on the crown finally and proceeds to put his ENTIRE body weight into smashing this crown in, and finally decides that I need to get re-cast for a mould because "this one is defective". This is my FOURTH visit. I ask for a different dentist. Finally the last visit, I ask them to waive the cost and they said that since they had me on different dentists and cannot place it on which one who messed up the most, they can't waive the fees but they can give me free teeth whitening, which I declined. I finally got the crown replaced, they did a bad job (surprise!), and I went to another place and had to get it replaced again by another office. TLDR: I went 5 times to this office to get a routine procedure where the dentists were unprofessional and unskilled. Some people have a good time here because they're lucky enough to get a good dentist from the jump. read more

I came as a walk-in on a late Sunday afternoon, yes on a Sun. And after 3 and the staff were so friendly and helpful. The dentist was very helpful and nice. I left with 2 rx and a return appt for implants and bone graphs. They have a special right now and the best price I've seen even cheaper than some dental locations in tj. Anyways I brought my children, and they had a fast and great experience. Even my special needs 4 year old were comfortable and liked the staff. The staff were so easy-going, understanding and kind to him. I have now interacted with 3 of the Dentist there and all 3 were very honest, professional and gentle. I have no complaints and would recommend them for all your dental needs. They are open 7 days a week and take walk ins. read more

Good service . Very friendly staff. Clean. Very thorough explanation of procedures Will come again!! read more

Summer Smile - First time coming. Very nice staff. Very helpful :) - General Dentistry Near Me - South Gate, California

It has now been a year since I've been to this dentist. Within the past week, I started feeling a sharp pain come and go around the tooth that got the half crown put on it here at this location. I went to my dentist and let him know and low and behold, it was that exact tooth. I spent $200 MORE for an X-ray and filling because the crown was INCOMPLETE and there was a hole in my tooth where air was getting in, causing the sharp pains. I am so sick of spending money on this fucking crown because Dr. Torbati did such a horrendous job on this one tooth that cost me $700 to begin with. First, it falls out after a couple weeks of being put in, then a year later, I get told the crown was incomplete.. After the first time it fell out, I had to be extra careful flossing around it because I was so afraid it would fall out again. JUST BECAUSE I USED A GROUPON HERE FOR A CLEANING DOES NOT MEAN YOU CAN ALSO DO A SHITTY JOB ON A PROCEDURE I PAID FULL PRICE FOR, DR. SCAMBATI. I can't believe I let her talk me into getting anything else but the cleaning done. I should have said no after I first encountered her and her stuck up demeanor. This tooth has had problem after problem and I have a feeling this won't be the last time I'll be spending money on this tooth in another short period of time. read more

One of my main fears about dentists is getting screwed over. This office never makes me feel like I'm getting unnecessary work done just for the sake of charging me. Everyone is skilled, professional, and friendly. read more

I was in and out in less than an hour for my wisdom teeth extraction. Dr. Thomas was quick, I waited more for the anesthesia to kick in than for him to pull them out. Highly recommend getting your wisdom teeth pulled here. I should have kept a tooth as a keepsake but it's alright tho read more

Finally got my deep cleaning! The attention to detail is exceptional took off all the tart and stains from my teeth. The price is pretty decent I had inquired different prices and so far this place was the best option. The service is great! I am looking into getting braces next read more

love how this office is open 7 days a week, BEST SERVICE!! I love how they treated me , also take their time and don't try rushing

They offer decent service for an affordable price. Their cleanings are nice and thorough.

I honestly like how they treat me here and they try their best to work with me. The doctor is very knowledgeable too.

They have reasonable prices the only reason I don't give them a 4 start is because of there equipment

Upon waiting for my mother to come out, I've noticed the poise and determination to get new patients or existing patient's to continue they're dental work. They offer dental plans, as I've witnessed as they tried to accommodate a woman who did not want to leave any down payment. Word of advice, help them help you. I like the way they answer each phone call even if it becomes rowdy from the other end, these nurses or assistants know how to calm a person with the information they are asking for. Any other information can not be discussed if it involves you as a person contacting your insurance company. We listened about this place on the radio in 96.3 FM. read more

Please do not go to this dental office! You phone calls for first time appointments will be nice, but after a few visits you will be in hell! It a horrible place. Dr. Shila and other Dentist there are such a rip off. When I first went there my bill was $9500. cash my medical insurance did not cover anything so they say, so, I decided to get all my work done...my first crown was not even a full crown the dentist ordered a half crown for $1200. I asked about it, Dr. Shila replied, "oh well its much better than a full crown", it turned black inside and she could not polish the black out. Next, I paid $1500. for a partial, not the metal one, I went there with a metal one I did not want to walk out of there the way I went in, she came back with a metal one and again, wanted me to wear it and tried to convince me it's better than the $1500. Valplast so in other words, take a $300. metal for the $1500. Vslplast. The temporary Partial I received when I went there, a tooth broke off after getting it only a few weeks I tried to replace it, but Dr. Shila says, "I would have to leave it for about 3 weeks so they could make another one", so I was going around with a missing tooth for about 3 months, thank God we were wearing masks. And by the way....I selected a color that would match my gums, they brought the pinkest one and put in my mouth and claimed it's ok. My God! The nightmare continued when I dropped all other work to be done, such as changing my fillings from metal to white, and about 4 crowns, my bill went way down, she did not like the idea to have to refund me, but she did...the nightmares continued, I left messages, after messages trying to talk to her to finish the valplast but she started ignoring my calls and gave me see her sister and other Dentist I threatened to report her to The American Dental Association, and finally she called me back weeks later. Some of the receptionist cannot even schedule an appointment properly, I would go there and they would say, "oh, you don't have an appointment today, really? " The lab they use I'm sure it's the cheapest they could find their work takes weeks, months to get done. I could write a freaking book about this office if I wanted, but I just hope this review will help some people. I guess it's my fault for finding them online. Never again will I go there. My advice is please Stay away!! read more

Bad... I went in for a free cleaning and consultation and I left with no cleaning because they told me I didn't need one "there's no point". Told them about a specific tooth that's been bothering me and gave me only two options extract and or braces. I left with no cleaning and a horrible estimate..... before even seeing someone I'm filling out paper work and I guess I walked in on them all doing ticktock videos ! To promote their business.? Definitely made me feel awkward and uncomfortable another lady waiting as well had to get up from her chair and stand next to me because she felt like she was In their way. All of this going on no one apologized for the craziness and or explained what was happening. They really made themselves look like a joke. In the end joke was on me they wasted my time they hurt the hell out of my teeth and gums when taking X-rays nd they couldn't not follow through and help me. They Just asked for a few grand lol ... read more

Went in after putting off much needed work. Their staff understands the emotions one goes through when dealing with big decisions. There was no pressure and they always reminded me that I was going to make the final decisions. They offered great options and solutions in my case implants old crowns old fillings. Now I am pain free and all fixed up. Their prices are affordable and they have a very talented team of dentists. They offer weekends! No time missed from work. Thanks Summersmile! read more

I have been coming here for over a year. I had switch from my old dentist to this one because of distance. My family is big. Never in my life I had to pay a deductible. The receptionist seems to have short and long term memory loss because every single time I have to remind her I have 2 insurances. I schedule apts and is like I'm a first time patient there every time, no smiles whatsoever, they seem like robots. Or they tell me they don't feel comfortable doing the work because I guess they are barely learning or newbies. I thought within time they will get better. But, no. So I said bye bye! Taking my business somewhere else. read more

The whole staff is friendly and very helpful. The office works with the pt to get the there dental work done fast and always answers all questions and the reminders are amazing you will never forget your appointment. Another pluse is they are opened on the weekends and will accommodate you the best they can. Highly recommened. read more

They need to step up their game. I got some work done here earlier in the year, they scheduled me months ahead for a cleaning. Closer to my appointment they keep sending me reminders to come. So I missed work, drove 20 miles to this appointment for them to fucking tell me they don't have something from my insurance....are you kidding me? You should make sure that you have everything before scheduling people to come. Peoples time is important and you guys do not respect that. I won't be coming here again. read more

Love this place, so nice, amazing quality of work, I actually came here from a issue I had with a different dotor who misdiagnosed me and they were so kind and transparent and gave me my option on how to repair my tooth! Definitely going back!! read more

Love this place. They always care about how I am doing as they fix my teeth. They make sure I am not in pain. I had an appointment at 3:00pm and I was promptly seated. Staff is super nice and considerate read more

First time to this dental office and honestly these ladies are very professional nice and honest. They give you a run down on what you need if you need work done and then let you know your payment options IF you DONT have insurance. Grade A service!! read more

Started coming here again when I broke my veneer and they have been great! Have had a few issues with my temporary veneer and I've had to make a few last minute appointments and each time they had no problems getting me in same day! I plan to continue my dental care here. Highly recommended! read more

I have had a great experience. My review might get taken down or not accepted. I had seen previous reviews. I used to have a ppo insurance. I don't understand why people are always giving low stars due to the fact that they did not get the diagnosis that they wanted. A dentist always needs to examine a patients oral hygiene. No patient is ever "made" to accept the proposed Dental treatment. What I noticed fro all low reviews is that they all complaint about money. Losers read more

Good place to visit for a regular Dentist appoinment. Great customer service and very satisfied with the service.
