Dr. Ho is the best dentist I have found in Burbank. Her front office has exceptional people who are very helpful and up front about pricing. Dr. Ho did a fantastic job of fixing my wife's chipped tooth and placing a veneer. No one in the office pushed us to do more work than what was needed. I highly recommend Dr. Ho and give special mention to her service dog who made my wife's experience much more relaxing. read more

I had a filling fall out yesterday and Dr. Ho was quick to squeeze me in today. Her staff called me to get me in this morning. I haven't had a filling done in years so I was nervous about the site and sound of drilling, but she numbed me up well and I barely felt the needle! I was concerned about mercury in my filling and she said she uses a composite resin. Awesome! Patched me up in an hour and even polished my teeth. It feels like new! I just wanted to acknowledge my gratitude for the great care, friendly receptionist (Katy) to get me in and solve this problem quickly. Dr. Ho is very gentle, attentive, and detailed. Thankful for her! read more

It's the best dental office that I have been to. They are kind, careful, honest, efficient, and professional. I found this office when I lived close by. I no longer do not live in Los Angeles, but I still come back. read more

Dr. Vanessa Ho is so thorough & detail oriented. You will be taken care of here! I have always felt comfort in knowing Dr. Vanessa will take care of me & take all the precautions needed for my cavity-prone teeth. She's incredibly knowledgeable and really thoughtful when explaining her process to me. I find that I can relate to her quite a bit, as a fellow mom! If you are looking for a dentist in this area, you don't need to look further. Dr. Vanessa is will be an honest and wonderful health care provider for you. read more

This dentist's office is wonderful all around. I had an abnormally painful cleaning at a DIFFERENT dentist a few years back and was hesitant to get a cleaning again, so I waited too long, and then even longer with covid. I couldn't hold off anymore and was worried about my teeth so I called and they were able to get me in within a couple days. Everything was exceptionally clean, sterile and safe. Everyone was incredibly nice especially knowing that I was a bit nervous. Dr. Ho answered all my questions. The cleaning was totally fine and I'm not nervous to go to the dentist anymore. They even sent me a card to welcome me afterward. :) read more

Vanessa Ho, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Burbank, California

Went in for teeth cleaning during COVID and they will communicate changes to their office/process before your appointment and do multiple health screenings with you before and during your visit (i.e. temperature check, wear a mask, answer health questions, etc.). Although it does take a little longer than normal, they were still efficient and thorough with their services. read more

I've gone to Dr. Vanessa Ho twice now for cleanings and check ups. She's very professional, gentle, kind, and passionate about what she does and it definitely shows. She has helped me out so much with my teeth already. The front staff is incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable when scheduling an appointment and explaining any billing/insurance etc. The whole dental office is super organized, so there have never been any sort of miscommunications at all. Doctor Vanessa Ho will do a great job because she truly cares about her patients and her attention to detail is amazing. I'm so glad I found Doctor Vanessa Ho, because now I look forward to my next appointments. I used to have so much anxiety going to the dentist... that anxiety is totally gone now, so thank you!!! I definitely recommend this dentist because of that. read more

I am so incredibly mad. I just got my bill for my cleaning after visiting Dr. Vanessa Ho as a first time patient. Don't get me wrong, my experience was great, and I thought wow, I found my new dentist. When I went there, I specifically showed them my insurance, Aetna, and the woman in the front told me I was In Network and said I probably don't even owe a co-pay and said I didn't need to pay a thing. It's now five months later - yeah, that's pretty annoying too that it took that long for my bill to come, and I get a bill for almost $200 dollars for a basic teeth cleaning!!!!!!!!!!! Like what?!?!?!?!? I look online at my Aetna account and it says out of network. Huh?! Didn't they tell me I was In Network?!! How dishonest. I am never going back. I'm going back to my original dentist who notably, charged me NOTHING for cleanings since my insurance covered it 100%. Like who does that. Don't lie to people and say you're In Network to get people to come. With cost of life being the way it is now, people don't need this kind of BS. Thanks for nothing. The insurance company says they overcharge for service on top of everything else. And the same thing happened to my boyfriend and he got charged even more. Turns out Vanessa Ho is only In Network with like three insurance companies. That's it. So be aware. read more

As a man closing in on 70 years and a former hockey player, I have seen many dentists, orthodontists etc over the years. Before seeing Dr Ho I was prepared to have remaining teeth extracted. Dr Ho was patient and honest with me and am i glad. I now have the best teeth I've had in over a decade. I can eat anything and can smile without embarrassment. I unequivocally recommend Dr Ho as your first and last choice in dental care. read more

The best dentist experience I've had. Dr. Tsai is very nice and kind and gave me great tips on keeping my teeth healthy. Very welcoming and they definitely got my as a regular customer now. Thank you. read more

Vanessa is so great. I was scared of visiting the dentist for YEARS. Ever since I started visiting Vanessa & getting my regular check-ins/teeth cleaning, my teeth have stopped randomly aching & I feel way better about my smile. Her receptionist Sue is also great - I love that I can email her for scheduling, it's super easy. My wait is never too bad, and parking is generally pretty easy. I've recommended so many friends to Vanessa, that I figured it's about time I say something on Yelp! read more

Very caring and professional. One of the best dentists I have seen. They work with you and are not pushy like other dentists.

Dr. Vanessa Ho is the Queen of all Dentists ! She cares about your teeth and it shows. Shes gentle and extremely detailed oriented. The office is clean/immaculate , the staff is personable, and it's far from the "dentist experience" everyone dreads ! read more

Believe everything you read on the reviews! 100% true with another impressed patient to add to the growing list. I called to see if I could get my daughter registered as a new patient and book in for an examination/xrays/clean as she has just moved into the area with a new job. The receptionist Sue was extremely friendly and helpful and undertook researching the obscure dental insurance company straight away, submitting and confirming 100% coverage too. I was very impressed with such personal and professional customer service, plus she was lovely to talk to as well. Sue is such a nice lady. So rare in dental/medical offices these days, (although we are lucky we have another lovely receptionist at our primary provider too!). Congratulations to Dr Ho for hiring such a gem! My daughter duly visited a few days later and Dr Ho was extremely gentle and friendly and did a great job. Very thorough examination which luckily found no further work required. No add ons or unnecessary work which is often the case with other dentists. A follow up cleaning was booked easily. We have a wonderful family dentist where we live, and it is such a relief to know that our daughter has found the equivalent in Burbank too. read more

I had my first patient appointment today and was so very impressed with Dr. Ho and her Staff! She's extremely kind and very knowledgeable as well as professional. We've been living in Burbank for nearly a year and have searched for the best Dentist and are so thankful we found her. From being gentle with taking X-ray images to cleaning and explaining the process of dentistry, Dr. Ho's care was phenomenal. Scott, Sue and the Hygienist (my apologies for not recalling her name) were so pleasant! All I can say is "Thank You" for everything. See you in 6 months, Dr. Ho and Staff! We appreciate you!!! read more

I'm probably not one of Dr Ho's favorite patients. I may have a full blown phobia of dentists and get like a weird fight or flight feeling laying back in the chair getting dental work. I thought I'd leave a review for Dr Ho because after 15 years in LA we are moving and she was always very professional, considerate and accommodating to my nervousness. The whole office is a welcoming environment and if your looking for an expert dentist then I highly recommend Dr Ho and her team. read more

Dr. Vanessa Ho is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. She has great attention to detail and truly cares about each of her patients. I've seen her at the office multiple times and always leave feeling really good and happy I came. You will really appreciate having her as a dentist. read more

So I'm one of those people who have an irrational fear of dentists. I made it a goal in 2017 to get over that fear and get any issues with my teeth taken care of. I went to 3 other dentists before found Vanessa. I'm really happy to have found her! Vanessa is very good at what she does and she's very accommodating to my fear of dentistry. Couldn't recommend more. Added bonus: Sue is the single coolest front office assistant I've ever met! read more

Went to Dr Ho's last week as a first time patient after being on the lookout for a new dentist for a while. Dr Ho was kind and thorough. Gentle but really cleaned my teeth up well. Answered all my questions and made the whole appointment process easy. Her hygienist and receptionist were also so sweet and helpful. Will be back in 6 months! read more

I first started coming to this office when it was owned by Dr. Brix, DDS.. He was amazing! Today, the practice is owned by Vanessa Ho. My insurance changed in 2015 when I changed jobs and Dr. Ho was "out of network." Even though my insurance changed, I decided to remain a patient and pay out of pocket because I like my hygienist, Linda. Prior to an appointment I had scheduled in February, 2016, Dr. Ho had told Sue (the biller) that I needed x-rays and a check-up (both an additional charge) or I would not be allowed to confirm my appointment. Sue offered an explanation that this was required due to Dr. Ho's malpractice insurance. I investigated the merit of this explanation and found there was none. I spoke to a well respected dentist in my community, my insurance company and even looked up the information on the ADA (American Dental Association) website. My insurance company representative could not believe a dentist would deny service unless additional services were agreed and paid for and they recommended I go elsewhere. Dr. Ho has essentially ignored a patient's rights to refuse specific services under the guise that the services are required for her insurance. (If her malpractice insurance is her top concern, all she has to do is have a patient sign a waiver, refusing any service she recommends.) Remember, the dentist works for the patient. Any service they provide, including additional services, is the patient's choice. To any patient, proceed with care and know your rights. I gave over 25+ years to this practice and now, I am happy to walk away. read more

I am so pleased with Dr. Vanessa Ho. I had a tooth that kept getting infected since I was pregnant ( about two years ago) and I couldn't do much because I was pregnant. That tooth had multiple filings, deep, and my previous dentist 5 years go said I would probably need a root canal the next time I come back for that tooth. Fast forward to two months ago when I visited the dentist, she gave me a referral to see an Endodontist for a root canal. After the root canal, I was still feeling discomfort and two months after, developed a big ball behind that tooth. I thought that this was happening due to the fact that I did not go back to my dentist to get a crown. I was waiting to do this next year in Jan when I have dental benefits again. I was so nervous and felt distrust towards my previous dentist, so I remembered that my girlfriend told me that she would only go to Dr. Ho for all her dental needs. I've met Dr. Ho from church many years ago in the children's ministry where both our kids went and knew her as a warm mother-so i decided to message to tell her my situation and see if she could help me. She responded quickly and squeezed me in between her patients the very next morning. Dr. Ho was surprised that I got a root canal because I had so severe bone loss next to that tooth that she would have recommended that I do an extraction and implant. She suggested that I see the Endodontist to have him look at it as it looked like the root was infected. She also gave me a referral to get my tooth extracted and have an implant consult with an oral surgeon. I'm grateful that she suggested I do this because upon seeing Dr. Gee at the Ivy Institute in Arcadia, he said it appears that my tooth is fractured and he did not see this when he removed the filling which is why he proceeded to perform the root canal. He then told me that i needed to get the tooth extracted ASAP and even offered to reimburse me for the root canal (i paid 447, insurance paid 840ish) So i scheduled the appointment to see the oral surgeon that Dr. Ho recommended, and I was so pleased with the procedure-office was clean, professional, surgeon was excellent. I am excited to go back and feel like I'm in great hands now with Dr. Ho. My only regret is I should've seen her earlier! She is not only an excellent dentist but an honest and sincere person. read more

Dr. Ho is a highly qualified, professional, and personable dentist. Not only does she look after the dental care/needs of her patients, but she is also concerned about the personal well-being of her patients. She has the best interest of her patients in mind and she is one of the kindest people I know. In addition, she is highly skilled and knowledgeable and has a steady hand. Other dentists I have used in the past have unintentionally poked or stabbed me with their dental instruments. She has a great sense of integrity and high moral standards. She is someone you can trust and someone who will be honest with you. After getting a root canal, I went to Dr. Ho for gum lengthening surgery and a crown for my upper molar. The upper molar is probably the most difficult tooth to perform dental services on since it is in the back of my mouth and I have lots of cheek tissue that kept getting in the way. What I really appreciated was that Dr. Ho would advise me on each step of the process and tell me why each surgery was required or needed and let me decide which option I would like to pursue. She drew upon her experience with other similar patients and was able to articulate technical dental terms in a way that I could easily understand. The surgery was painless, smooth, and quick and I am very satisfied with my crown. Dr. Ho follows up with me on a regular basis to ensure that the crown is intact and that I don't have any discomfort. read more

I went to Dr. Ho and has an amazing practice. After a long period of trying to find a good dentist, I found one! You can tell that Dr. Ho has an amazing practice, and she genuinely wants her patients to have the best care! read more

My wife and I had extremely good experiences visiting Dr. Ho. She was professional, took her time, friendly, and knowledgeable. Some dentists make you feel like you are just another case to be dealt with throughout the day (making you feel rushed, uncared for, and you end up leaving with a bad taste in your mouth-literally sometimes!). Dr. Ho, however, goes above and beyond to make you feel like you are important. You get treated especially well. I find her to be honest and skilled at her craft. Highly recommend her! read more

I definitely recommend Vanessa Ho's dental practice. She is very sincere, kind, honest, and meticulous. You can definitely trust Dr. Ho and her staff to be completely honest and do quality work. She is a very patient, conscientious person who will go out of her way to make you feel cared for. Your teeth will definitely be in fantastic hands here! I highly recommend Dr. Ho and her practice! read more

Dr Ho is as professional as it gets! Her knowledge of dentistry is robust and she takes a lot of care in diagnosing and taking care of your teeth in the best way possible. She has a gentle touch and is very easy to get along with. The experience of going to the dentist can be very nerving but she makes it very pleasant. If you are looking for a dentist or are unhappy with yours, I recommend you give her a call and get a consultation! You will be very happy to work with her! read more

Dr. Vanessa Ho is a perfect example of a professional and thorough dentist. She is someone that you can trust to have the skill, knowledge, and integrity to do a wonderful job. As a person, she is kind, honest, and friendly. During a brief 6 month span when I had dental insurance that only allowed certain dentists, an "unnamed" dentist recommended I get 3 fillings and other unnecessary work probably in order to bill more revenue. Something was definitely off and it was then I knew and understood that I needed a dentist that was on my side, only doing what was best for me and my health. Long story short, I did not need the work that the crooked dentist offered, and was able to save thousands of dollars. I do not know how much more you need from your dentist! Find a dentist like Dr. Vanessa Ho that you can trust! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Ho and her team! I needed to have an unexpected filling and called the office, finding great ease of scheduling - especially as a new patient. Dr. Ho was very kind and helpful in finding a solution for me. She took the time to hear my needs with patience and understanding, which I greatly appreciated! The tooth molding that she made fit perfectly, and the colour was excellently matched, better than before! I am very pleased with the work that I received from Dr. Ho, who was very kind, knowledgeable and professional to answer any questions that I had. I intend to come back for further cleaning in the future! read more

I went in for a cleaning and exam after not having been to the dentist in a long time. The staff was super friendly and professional, and was able to squeeze me in for a visit the same week I called. The hygienist was very good, probably one of the easiest and pain-free cleanings I have ever had (even though I'd gone way too long between appointments). After that they took x-rays, which was quick and easy. I'm glad they did, because they caught some cavities that would not have been discovered from a regular exam. Dr. Ho did the exam and found a few little problems. She was very kind and professional, giving lots of suggestions on how to avoid future problems in a knowledgeable yet easy-to-understand way. It is clear that she is very passionate about her work and good at what she does. Finally, the pricing was very fair, even with no dental insurance. I would highly recommend this office to anyone and would definitely return if I wasn't moving to another part of the state. read more

Vanessa is vey professional and conscientious. She doesn't recommend unnecessary work. You will get great care and a great smile - ask for the teeth whitening trays! Brought our son in too and he got toys and a pleasant first check up! read more

I have a serious dentist phobia and have been avoiding going for FOUR years. I read her other reviews and decided to check her out. The receptionist is extremely helpful and friendly, staff is welcoming, and Vanessa is so calming and informative. She is very thorough as well. Definitely glad I decided to go with her! read more

Dr. Ho is very professional and knowledgable! I have never had a dentist who spent as much time explaining things to me as Dr. Ho did and I really appreciate how much I learned about my teeth after my visit with Dr. Ho today. She is gentle, patient, and did a very thorough job cleaning my teeth. I told her I had never had someone spend as much time cleaning my teeth as she did -- I could tell that after she was done my teeth felt very clean and smooth! I have very sensitive teeth and when Dr. Ho was handling my teeth I did not feel any pain at all! Dr. Ho is very friendly and I know she cares about me as a person and not just another patient. I highly recommend Dr. Ho as a dentist who has the professional skills, the education/knowledge, and the genuine care for others that makes her a really good dentist that I will go to for a lifetime. read more

I love Dr. Ho! I really hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Ho makes the experience so easy and painless! She's extremely thorough and all the dental work I've gotten done from her has always been top-notch. Even my mom goes to her and we both love her! She's always so friendly and pleasant, makes the visit always much more enjoyable! Too bad I no longer live in the LA area, I wish I could find a dentist as good as her up here in SF! read more

I recently went to Dr. Ho for a routine check up. It was my first time under her care. The office was clean, and I felt the staff was friendly and courteous. When Dr. Ho checked out my teeth, she was very thorough and i felt at ease in her chair. Only thing was, she found a cavity! I had a large filling from a prior dentist from 20 years ago and most of the tooth was decayed. And so she advised getting a crown. I was a little uneasy about going through the process as I've not had a great experiences from prior dentists. Dr. Ho assured me the process would be easy and simple. I had to admit, getting a crown from Dr. Ho was practically painless. I'm usually a bit anxious when it comes to novocain shots, but all her shots were painless and I could tell she made great effort to make it painless. I could also tell that she had a steady hand, but she was not heavy handed. All in all, I had a great experience and a nice new crown to show for it. So if you are a little lets say, "tentative" about trying out a new dentist, you should try out Dr. Ho. You won't be dissatisfied! read more

I'll start by saying that I have an unbelievably intense fear of going to the dentist. As a kid I had to have all but one or two of my baby teeth extracted and it was a horrible, traumatizing experience, prompting me to avoid going to the dentist for 9 years at one point. I started having problems with my teeth about four days ago and knew I needed to get them looked at (considering that at this point it's been four years since I've last sat in a dentists chair) before things got any worse. Since I moved to CA three years ago I didn't know where to go, but Yelp reviews guided me to Dr. Ho and OMG I am so beyond grateful. I was able to get an appointment within 24 hours of calling her office. She was gentle, explained everything to me step by step, and was able to fix the problem that day. She was very thorough, she actually looked at the paperwork I filled out (pretty sure no doctor I've been to actually looks at that stuff) and asked me questions to clarify what medications I'm on, etc., in order to give me proper care. I received the most amazing dental care today, there aren't enough words to express my gratitude to Dr. Ho. I will definitely be going back to her, even for regular cleanings, which is something I've never said in the past. read more

I'm extremely happy with the care that I've received by Dr. Ho and her staff over the course of the past year. I recently also transferred my Mother to receive care from Dr. Ho who referred her to get a root canal, and then helped complete the process by giving her a crown on the affected tooth. She immediately felt the amazing difference in receiving treatment by a capable and caring dentist. read more

I had great experiences at this dental office from the very first phone call! Sue, in the front office, was wonderful, she was caring, compassionate and went out of her way to answer all of my questions and fit me in the schedule on short notice. The entire team is great! I highly recommend them to everyone. I drove from Thousand Oaks to Burbank to get a NTI dental appliance that helps relieve my TMD pain and it was well worth the trip. Definitely a 5 star experience! read more

It took months to complete two implants and finally it was time to get two crowns. I told Dr. Ho that her prices are pretty high and if she could give me any discounts? She said that she uses one of the best labs and they are expensive which effects her prices but they are one of the best labs. After the crowns were finally put in, they felt very uncomfortable and more importantly painful. I went back & forth and it turned out they were not made correctly, so Dr. Ho took them out and send them back to this "best" lab to be corrected. After several back & forth visits, it got somewhat better but still uncomfortable and painful to touch or flossing. I paid over $3,000 for two crowns that I am very unhappy with. Another problem is availability. Dr. Ho works I think only twice a week and have office hours. So, every back and forth to correct errors requires taking time off from work. Besides proofing that there is something wrong and the crowns hurt is not easily accepted and Dr. Ho says everything looks great. Making it sounds like either I am imagining or it is the fault of the doctor who did the implants because her crowns can't be less than perfect. So, I don't even bother to go back again and again and miss work since she can't even figure out the problem. read more

I'm thrilled to have found Dr. Ho as a dentist! I have spent A LOT of time in dental chairs since I was a little kid (I'm prone to cavities- my whole family has had to get lots of dental work done- and I grind/clench at night). I can confidently say that Dr. Ho is one of the best of the best. Dr. Ho makes you feel at ease. Along with her hygienist and assistants, you feel comfortable and taken care of while in her care. Dr. Ho is detailed, thorough, and up to date on technology. Sue, who works at the front desk, is also such a delight. She's always on top of things and great at walking you through insurance or any other questions. During COVID times, I had a painful molar, and Sue kindly fit me into see Dr. Ho shortly after the office re-opened and later for a follow-up the same day I called. I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for excellent dental care- you can tell that Dr. Ho and everyone on staff truly care about their patients. read more

I just got back from my appointment with Dr. Ho and it was a great experience! I was scheduled for my 6 month cleaning (actually 1 year) when she noticed a cavity! We decided it was best to get the cavity drilled and filled and to reschedule the cleaning. I was impressed at how she took control of the situation. She carefully explained what she was doing which made me feel comfortable and cared for. I am deathly afraid of Novocain shots but she was so gentle I didn't even feel the stick. I could also tell she was really careful when drilling, had really steady hands. The process took about 30-40 minutes and I was out the door. 3 hours later, the numbness wore off and I was able to enjoy my lunch... crunchy sweet barbacoa tacos w/out any pain. Thanks Dr. Ho! read more
