PATIENT REVIEWS

I’ve been a patient with Dr. Kuo since 2013 and I’m begrudgingly writing this review because I can no longer make the trek from Burbank/Glendale to Costa Mesa for appointments. Ever since the first time I visited the office, I’ve always had an exceptional experience. Joanne, the office manager and Dr. Kuo’s wife, always knew me by name, asked about my job (she remembered the details) and was generally just beyond accommodating to my schedule. As for procedures I once had 3-4 cavities filled in one day by Dr. Kuo and it was virtually painless compared to the fillings I remember from my childhood. He ALWAYS made sure I was comfortable and the process was efficient. Dr. Kuo and his team reformed me into a person who actually flosses daily and kicked a nasty sugar habit (see above cavity struggle. Suffice to say, he’s the best. If you’re in Orange County you should absolutely consider this business, I’m devastated that I had to leave.

Being new in town, we made appointments to establish a new dentist/patient relationship. The office staff was incredibly professional: always prompt when answering the phone, pleasant and polite. Dr. Kuo is very gentle and kind. Joanne treated us as old friends and always by first name. This has been the best dental experience for us.

I have been going to Dr Kuo’s office for just about 5 years and they have always taken good care of me. When first entering the energetic hello and warming smile of Joanne is awesome and makes me feel right at home. Dr Kuo has great clinical knowledge and have kept my teeth in tip top shape. Special Bonus star for the time he fixed a chip tooth of mine a week before my wedding!

I had my first visit with dr tony! Him and his entire staff are so KIND and Friendly! I was really taken aback by the kindness! The receptionist is super super kind and explains all your benefits and coverage through your insurance! The dental assistant is nice and efficient. The dental hygienist was extremely knowledgeable and explained to me everything she was doing and the doctor was top notch! I have been to any dentist and these people are really superb! I’ll recommend anyone here!

I used to go to a very old school dentist & I am sort of phobic when it comes to dental work; until I discovered this dental office. I had not been back to see a dentist in over 2 years and I was devastated to find out I needed a root canal done. Dr. Kuo walked me through all my x-rays and showed me what he saw on every single one of my teeth and made sure I had a good cleaning done by the hygienist Nicole, before I got any dental work done. When I finally came in for the root canal, everyone made me feel at ease and they have this cool anesthesia gadget that isn’t like the conventional way of getting numb and I didn’t feel a thing! The root canal was a breeze. That technology alone had me impressed, but did I also mention they make their crowns in the office? The equipment used is very top notch and was a totally different experience from my last dentist. Joanne, the financial coordinator straightened out everything with my insurance and was very clear with all my financial options. Needless to say, I had a great experience here!

Thank God for Dr. Tony Kuo!!!!!!  He is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. I don’t like going to the dentist I have terrible anxiety so I put off going to the dentist until I met Dr. Kuo. Dr. Kuo makes me feel very at ease. From the moment I walk in Joanne with her sweet caring personality makes me feel so comfortable that when it is time to sit in the chair and get work done on my teeth it is so easy. Thank you Tony and Joanne.

The best dentist ever! Dr kuo is the dentist that I trust. I had couple of cavities. Other dentist wanted to do root canal and crown the tooth. After dr. Kuo saw me, he showed me the X-ray and explained to me how he can fix it with fillings. It’s been more than 5 years now. The tooth felt fine and still symptom free. It’s hard to find a good dentist. I strongly recommend Dr Kuo!

AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING!!! The entire experience starting with my initial contact over the phone with Mrs. Kuo, the office manager/doctor’s wife, to having major dental work done with Tony Kuo, the dentist, has been INCREDIBLE…… I’m that person who’s super scared of anything dental related, but this Kuo team has managed to relieve me of all my fears. The extra steps taken and technological advancements in this office provide the utmost comfort to the patient and have made me a customer for life. Trust me, look no further.

Thank you so very much.  Not only for your beautiful work.  For my beautiful smile.  But for being the kindest, wonderful couple you are. You are both professional and still real and caring people.  You’re the best!

With so many dentists out there it was very hard to chose, let alone trust!  I found Dr. Kuo from their exceptional reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a try.  I have limited coverage with my insurance so it was very important for me to find a dentist who is helpful and honest in explaining to me what is necessary to be done now, what I can wait a bit, and help me get a complete picture of my dental health.  Dr. Kuo was very personable in taking his time to explain to me my dental situation.  He seems to think along with me and had my best interest in mind.  I mentioned to him that only want done something that is necessary (for now).  He explained to me his diagnosis, what he would do if he was me, and years down the road what else might need attention/to be tended to.  I felt I could trust his diagnosis.  He seems to be passionate and very knowledgeable with what he is doing, and he takes his time in making sure that you’re in good hands.  This is kind of rare nowadays when we go to a health care provider. The staff at the front desk are very friendly and helpful in helping me understand my insurance coverage and provide me payment options.  All and all I’d highly recommend Atrium to anyone who needs a dentist.  I’d definitely go back!

I would recommend this office to anyone. Not only are they always friendly and welcoming, but they are also honest with any and all work that I or my children have needed by them, which has not been much at all. My four year old daughter had her first visit here, and she quickly got over her fear of the dentist because the hygienist was so friendly with her. Dr. Kuo and his staff are not only great at what they do, but they are friendly as well.

My husband and I have been visiting Dr Kuo for 8 years, Dr Kuo and his staff are some of the nicest people I’ve seen, all the girls are very sweet and caring, will ensure you have a pleasant experience. I have gum disease, my hygienist Nicole has been taking very good care of me and my periodontics has improved. Highly recommended to everyone!

I have never had a good experience with a Dentist until I found Dr. Kuo and his team. He extracted an infected tooth with no pain or discomfort. The healing process was fast and painless! Thank you Dr. Kuo and your amazing staff for making me feel comfortable at your office. Best Dentist in Costa Mesa.

My visits with Dr. Kuo and his Staff are always so wonderful. I am so happy that I found him as my dentist. The staff are so nice and welcoming. Dr. kuo take this time to explain what he sees in my mouth in details. It is best care that I ever received from a dentist. Dr. Kuo and his Hygienist check each my tooth, exams the gum health and checking my bite issue and even doing oral cancer screening. Have you ever get one hour undivided routine care with any other dentist or doctors? The best part is the information on how i should take care my oral health at home. For example, I have deep pocket which is hard to keep them clean. Nikole, the Hygienist, show me how I can use floss, waterpike, and gum product to avoid the condition getting worse. Dr. Kuo showed me that I have sharp cusp on my molars. I really need to watch on my grading. He is very conservative and always wants to make sure his work is the best for me. I have to say that I truly enjoy every visit to my dentist.

This place is Awesome. I came in for a routine checkup and cleaning and was impressed from the start. The front office had called my insurance in advance and had that all ready to go for me before hand so I knew exactly what to expect. After meeting the Dr. I felt like he did a GREAT job explaining my treatment. He took time to answer all of my questions and it felt nice to be understood. After meeting with him the front office lady went over the cost of my treatment and explained in depth what the insurance will cover and what my out of pocket expense will be. I feel like this office is very fair, honest and truly have their patients best interest at heart. I wasn’t just another pt. My concerns were heard and I left feeling like we had accomplished something together. I will definitely be back. In fact, I look forward to it. Highly recommended to anyone in Costa Mesa looking for a new dentist.

Dr. Kuo is the best dentist I’ve ever been to, and I get regular check ups every six months.  He is kind and easy to talk to, and very talented with his techniques.  Above all else, he is ETHICAL, which sadly is something you really have to watch with dentists these days. I had a wisdom tooth removed by Dr. Kuo and by the time I asked if he had given me my shot of novocaine, he’d already taken the tooth out.  I didn’t feel a thing!  He also helped me get a frenectomy, snipping the little pice of gums under my top lip so the gap between my teeth would go away.  He referred me to an oral surgeon, and that experience was also pleasant. For convenience, I made a mistake of trying to go to a dentist closer to my job (I work far from home) and it was a nightmare!  The other dentist tried to tell me I needed special deep cleaning every few months which would have cost my insurance company $1000 a pop!  I was so sad that this other dentist was totally ripping people off. When I returned back to Dr. Kuo, he told me my teeth were fine and that we would watch a stain on one of my back teeth that the other dentist wanted to drill.  He showed me everything from the flexible video camera as it was in my mouth.  I will NEVER make the mistake of going to another dentist again as long as Dr. Kuo is in business!  I highly recommend him to everyone I know.  Another bonus is that his office is in the absolutely gorgeous turnip rose building, full of beautiful woodwork and history. Thanks Dr. Kuo and Joann!

Amazing results!!! Amazing. Office!!!  Wonderful personnel!!!  Joanne makes you feel right at home and sincerely welcome at the office. Dr. KUO (Tony) is both professional and meticulous. His staff is warm and courteous. I have received numerous compliments on my new “smile” provided by Tony’s exceptional veneers. He excepts nothing less than “perfect” and works tirelessly until the procedure is indeed perfect. I highly recommend this office for cosmetic dentistry procedures and continue to love my new smile! Thanks Joanne and Tony!

One of the best dentist I’ve been to.. I haven’t been to the dentist in 12 years and as you can imagine I had a lot of work to be done.  First off was deep cleaning in which I just had it done yesterday and can I tell you I was terrified.  But Dr. Kuo was amazing!! Truly gentle and kind and I remember him saying I’m proud of you.  Joanne is just comforting, you can tell she cares a lot about you and makign sure you feel comfortable.  I will highly recommend this place and becuase of their greatness to make me feel comfortable, I am now on my way to having a healthy mouth.

I have been going to Atrium Cosmetic and Family Dentistry since early 2016. I had to have some pretty serious and extensive work done and they have been fantastic the whole way through. Crowns, root canals, cleanings you name it I’ve probably had it done. Dr. Kuo and his staff always make sure I am cormfortable and educated in my treatment plan. All of his staff are friendly and proffesional. I highly recommend Atrium Dentistry! Thank you for giving my smile back!!

I have been coming here for a few years now. They are a wonderful husband and wife team. Joanne is up at the front desk and Tony is the dentist. What I love about this place is how Joanne is so friendly and how she makes everyone feel so welcome. Of course I am here for more than service but it certainly makes the trip more enjoyable to see a friendly staff. Tony was trained at UCLA and he does not skim on what he uses on your teeth. Y’all may  not know this but some dentist cheap out on the fillings and the work they do, which can really mess up your teetch down the line. I got all my old silver fillings replaced with shiny white ones with at Tony’s place. He’s done a great job and trust me, I had a LOT of fillings…… I blame it on all the distill water I drank as a kid. In any case, highly recommend  this place.  You will get the great technical expertise of Tony and friendly service from Joanne~~!!

As someone with a dental phobia, finding a dentist can be difficult. I was lucky to find Dr Kuo, so hopefully this review will help others as well. Dr Kuo and his staff (Joanne and Kay) are great people, they want first and foremost to make you comfortable. They took the time to listen to all of my concerns and they worked with me to find a way to do all the necessary procedures. They are also very high tech – most important for me is “the wand” which is used to administer the anesthetic. I have never had a dentist who would get my teeth numb enough to do fillings without any pain, but the wand really gets my teeth nice and numb. I even had a root canal and I can honestly say it was not painful. Such a difference from my old dentist! Also, his specialist for the tooth implant, Dr Chen, was very nice and had a similar demeanor. Appointments are pretty easy to make, the office is very nice, and it’s a really convenient location (it’s in the same building as the Turnip Rose, on the southbound side of Newport Blvd at 19th Street). I had a broken tooth replaced with an implant (which was sort of an emergency situation), plus a root canal and couple of fillings – I feel like the work Dr Kuo has done is top notch, and I am very happy with the results! I am looking forward to being able to keep up with regular dentist visits from now on, rather than waiting until emergencies arise to force myself to go. Thanks Dr Kuo!

 

Dr. Quo is just the best.  He really cares about my dental health.  As with any dentist there is discomfort.  He trys to reduce that level of discomfort.  He has this machine that delivers pain relievers without using a syringe.  The office is in a beautifull location.  It is in the Turnip Rose building at 19th and Newport.  Keeps the window open during his procedures. I hadn’t gone to the dentist in over seven years, because, well, i just don’t like the over stimulation from all that stuff they do to your teeth.  Dr. Quo seems to  realize that.  He really seems to care..

I usually hate going to the dentist. I absolutely loathe it really. But, this time was different. The dentist was great, but my hat goes off to his assistant Cici. She was amazing. She made me feel really comfortable with everything, did a great job of explaining the procedure, and was just a great person who took my mind off of everything that was going on. I have never enjoyed a visit to the dentist, but this felt more like I was visiting a friend than anything else. It’s just this time, my friend was helping me fill in a few cavities. I highly recommend this place to anyone who wants great dental work along with some good company.

Dr. Kuo and staff are always professional and strive to keep the experience as pain free as possible. They did a wonderful job on my emergency root canals and returned my smile better than before my accident. I recommend them highly.

I am not surprised that all their reviews are 5 stars. These are hands down the nicest people I have ever met working at a dentist’a office. They make you feel really comfortable and there isn’t any awkwardness. Would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist and am so glad my mom recommended it to me.

Needless to say, no one likes going to the dentist.  Myself in particular.  I have been through some hellish experiences, and have paid thousands upon thousands of dollars in unnecessary dental work.  I went to see Dr. Kuo because a friend of mine recommended him.  She trusted him, and I needed to find someone that I trusted as well after what I had been through.  I gave him a shot.  When I walked in there, everyone was very accommodating including the hygienist, dental assistant, and the Dr.’s wife who also works in the office.  I had not been to the dentist in about a year and half, but was having some pretty intense pain in one location.  The Dr. took some x-rays and let me know exactly what was going on, and even went through my old dental work to share what could be fixed and what was fine.  He let me know what needed to be done to stop the pain, and made time for me that day.  He event went over the work I needed to get done in the future, and how much time I should wait for each procedure.  He was never pushy, something I truly appreciated.  The topic of money came up, of course.  Dr. Kuo’s wife went over all my payment options with me, and made the whole payment process completely not scary and affordable.   I went home that day without that intense pain that I had been having.  It’s been about a year now, and everything is still great.  I will be going in for a check-up soon, and I completely trust Dr. Kuo to take care of everything going on with my teeth.  If you are looking for someone who truly cares that you can trust, then this is the place.

Good dentist is hard to find. Let me start off with my experience at Dr. Kuo’s office. His extensive knowledge in preventive dentistry has helped maintain my oral health over the years. I enjoyed having a conversation with Dr Kuo over my dental concerns. He is caring and conservative, which will make him our family dentist forever. My wife and I loved going to the office. We are always greeted by big smiles and warm greetings. Every staff are always helpful and caring.

I’ve been so happy going here.  Everyone is friendly and very informative.  I’ve been to another corporate dentistry chain and all they did was take my money.  In coming to Atrium Dentistry I get honest prices and I feel completely informed of my choices. The most important part for me is they make me feel comfortable!

With so many dentists out there it was very hard to chose, let alone trust! I found Dr. Kuo from their exceptional reviews on Yelp and decided to give them a try. I have limited coverage with my insurance so it was very important for me to find a dentist who is helpful and honest in explaining to me what is necessary to be done now, what I can wait a bit, and help me get a complete picture of my dental health.

I mentioned to him that I only want done something that is necessary (for now). He explained to me his diagnosis, what he would do if he was me, and years down the road what else might need attention/to be tended to. I felt I could trust his diagnosis. He seems to be passionate and very knowledgeable in what he is doing. He takes his time in making sure that you’re in good hands. This is kind of rare nowadays when we go to a health care provider.
The staff at the front desk are very friendly and helpful in helping me understand my insurance coverage and provide me payment options. All and all I’d highly recommend Atrium to anyone who needs a dentist. I’d definitely go back!

 

Dr. Tony Kuo and the rest of his staff really try to provide you with the best dental visit experience they can! Unfortunately for me I’ve had to make multiple visits the last 4 months and I can honestly say that Dr. Kuo is the best (all his degrees are from UCLA!) and he even has a machine that delivers the anesthetic without a big syringe because he wants to cause as little discomfort as possible. Joanne, the receptionist, is very friendly and tries to be as helpful as she can and the assistants, Cici and Maria, are also genuinely friendly and really do their best to make sure you’re comfortable. Also, they do their best to accommodate your schedule and will even open on Saturday if necessary. So in short, I can’t recommend this dentistry enough!

Like most people going to the dentist isn’t my favorite, I have been fortunate enough to have never had a cavity, but the anxiety and fear is still there.  This office was amazing, super clean and everyone was very professional and friendly! Dr. Kuo’s assistant Cici was great, you can tell she is passionate about what she does and really cares about her patients and their health.  Joanne was also very helpful, I have new dental insurance and she explained to me in great detail what to expect.  Most office’s I have been to simply suggest you call the provider and they will explain it to you, it was great to get the info right then and be able to speak to a live person!  Dr. Kuo was also very friendly and made me feel comfortable.  I would recommend this office! See you in 6 months 🙂

After having gone to another dentist for years, I went to Dr. Kuo for the first time last month to remove a wisdom tooth in a pinch, and I’m so glad I did.  Both he and his staff have always been very accommodating and accessible.  I now have my brother going to him (he had the same experience), and I will be changing to Dr. Kuo permanently now.  If you’re reading this Dr. Kuo, thanks for all of your help!

 

I love my dentist and my hygienist! They take great care of me and I love to share it with anyone out there who is looking for great dental care. I see my dentist every 6 month for my check up and dental cleaning. Nikole so detailed and talks about my oral health and concerns. She give me great tips on how I can take care of my teeth easier. Dr. Kuo is so conservative and sweet. He is very thorough and clear about what he sees and what are the options to take care of it. Dr. Kuo’s assistants are always so helpful and make my visit at ease. The front desk take their time to make treatment more affordable with different financing options. Best dental care ever!

I’ve been going to the same dentist for 9 years and that whole time I thought I’ve been getting my teeth cleaned. Turns out..not so much. This place was amazing from the doctor to hygienist to the dental assistants and the office staff. Dr. Kuo made it really easy to understand my treatment and answered all my questions honestly. The hygienist Nikole spent her time with me. Not only did she give me the best cleaning I’ve EVER had, she educated me during the process on better hygiene habits. Joanne made my treatment affordable and put my financial worries at ease. This place is all around the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Knowledgable, caring and honest. I definitely recommend.
