PATIENT REVIEWS

Jason Yoo has been an upstanding dentist for me. He explains the procedure he is doing and treats you as a friend. Very happy I found him.

Terrific dentist with new equipment. Appointments are efficient and I never feel upsold on needless procedures. The prices are so reasonable I dropped my dental insurance and pay out of pocket.

I enthusiastically recommend Jason Yoo, DDS at Hana Dental.  I appreciate the positive reviews here on Yelp and selected Dr. Yoo based on previous reviews.  Dr. Yoo was prompt, and personable.  He listened to what I wanted as a patient. He reviewed the options with me carefully, and I felt comfortable with his treatment decisions. His personal manner is wonderful.  His method of execution is great—he is gentle, fast efficient and compassionate.  You won’t be disappointed!

Dr. Yoo is basically terrific. We’re like a match made in dental heaven. He’s patient with me and gets my humor which is EXTREMELY important because 1. Who really wants someone all up in their grill? 2. I can be inappropriate and awkward. So kudos to him and his staff. I decided to go with Dr. Yoo after having read reviews, talked to another dentist (who was not my vibe & i could tell ready to overcharge me because of location and pure greed), & convenience of location. Thank goodness i found him. He doesn’t pressure you into anything or tell you crap you need just to make a dollar. This guy is really genuine. After wanting braces forever i decided it was time to get them. I got ClearCorrect and I’m soooooooooo happy. I was like beyond eager and excited to get them. Bless this mans heart for dealing with my childlike impatience lol Im only 3 trays in and its going smoothly and quicker than expected. I don’t have dental insurance and he’s totally reasonable with pricing. Seriously so grateful for this especially when people are so ready to overcharge you for everything or dismiss you because you don’t have dental insurance or refuse to apply for carecredit. I do cash payments and he knows Im good for it. He doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable (you reading this Mr. Lame Dentist in Brentwood?…of course he isn’t, i just needed to get that out of my system. I feel good now. That’s why Dr. Yoo is gonna get all my money and not you. Booyah…he’s still not reading this…i should tag him…can you tag on yelp?…). Anyway, yelpers, if you need a dentist or even just a consult give this office a try. After my braces are off i will get teeth whitening and my chipped teeth fixed and As long as I live in LA he will be my forever dentist. You hear that doc? You’re stuck with me 🙂

I hesitated a little bit to write this review because I want to keep Dr. Yoo to myself. Dr. Yoo is one of the nicest and most patient dentist I know. And his tech Louis is amazing. They make you feel comfortable the moment you step into the office. The receptionists are also very nice and easy going. It is a breeze to schedule/change/cancel an appointment. They accept PPD insurance and you can ask them before going in so that nothing comes as a surprise. With or without insurance though, the price they charge is very reasonable compared to other dentists. And they never try to upsell or add on any service to make money. They care for their patients. They validate parking, which is a big help because you do not need to look for parking around busy streets of Ktown. If you need braces or any other dental issue, this is the place to check out most definitely.

Ok, so I felt really guilty because I had to leave my previous dentist (who I liked) for Hana due to change of insurance.. and wow! I’m soooo glad I found Hana dental. Like most people, I had very bad experiences in the past (bc of the Doctor) and was very nervous and skeptical but Hana made my visit so nice and easy. The receptionist? So welcoming, professional and sweet. Dr. Yoo? He’s sooo easygoing! We talked about sports, relationships and came to talk about how him and his assistant have been working together for over a decade.. even before he opened up his own office. Talk about loyalty. His assistant? (Wish I could remember his name) he’s sooo sweet and gentle. I have a really small mouth so I was grateful that I didn’t leave the place with the corners of my mouth all cut up after the cleaning haha! Besides the staff being amazing, the place is clean (bc who wants hands in their mouth at a dirty place?) and free parking! Big plus in LA.

Best dentist I have ever been to! I needed a dental implant on the tooth that was treated long time ago from a different dentist. Making an appointment was fast and the office was very clean. Getting the tooth extraction was not painful at all and the doctor constantly made sure that everything was okay. All the procedures were explained and the doctor was very knowledgable and nice. I will be always back for any dental needs!

I’ve wanted braces ever since I was in middle school. That must sound weird, who the heck EVER wants braces? But I did for as long as I can remember. My teeth weren’t crooked enough to warrant them in my moms eyes, and when she pays the bills, you go along with it. I admit, I did lag it for some time after college. I could’ve gotten braces several years ago but of course I held it off until a year before my wedding to finally get serious about straight teeth. All because of a panic attack during a daydream. I just knew the photographer would catch me at my worst angles where my snaggletooth would be at its most prominent. Now unless that photographer is a photoshop magician, I would then have to stow those photos away in an attic for years and years and years never to see the light of day. So I asked my bf to take me to his dentist. I always wanted the clear braces over metal but never realized there weren’t many locations that offer it. Dr. Yoo was amazing during the consult. He wasn’t pushy like a salesman (not that I needed a push cuz I was dead set on getting it) the prices were fair and he’s very warm and approachable. The receptionist girl talks in a whisper so it’s a bit hard to understand but everyone is super nice. They validate for the parking, and i’m usually in and out within 15 minutes. Definitely recommend!!

For years I bounced around Beverly Hills seeing a variety of dentists but all too often I was over-charged or pressured into procedures that weren’t necessary.  Then we found Hana Dental.  Their care is very good, always so kind, and their prices are reasonable.  We are now in our 6th year with a few cavities, braces and wisdom teeth removal under our belt.  I highly recommend this practice!

Dr. Yoo is AMAZING!! I called to make an appt to have my tooth extracted and was in a lot of pain. He saw me the same day. I hate going to the dentist and haven’t been in years which caused me to need an extraction due to an old cavity I ignored. I owe a huge thanks to Dr. Yoo in helping me overcome my fear. He was so nice and had a sense of humor. He didn’t even get annoyed with my crazy friend who wanted to document the entire procedure on her iPhone video. He made me laugh quite a bit. Dr. Yoo was very aware and sensitive to any pain I might be experienced taking extra care to avoid any discomfort. He moved at a pace that I was comfortable at stopping at any sign of wincing I made. His dental assistant Luis was also very personable and happy to do his job! Which means Dr. Yoo takes care of his staff which means he will take care of you too! I don’t have dental ins so I paid out of pocket. His prices were beyond reasonable and he was honest about my options in what route to take for my dental procedure. He is really a great dentist that takes pride in his profession. In fact just this morning he followed up with me to see how I was feeling. I can assure you as a Scared Sally you will be happy you booked with Dr. Yoo.

Hana Dental has been our family dentist for over 10 years. They have given us three sets of braces, one head gear, retainers.. etc. They are very kind and gentle with any procedure and continue to provide great service. I would highly recommend Hana Dental for any dental or orthodontic needs!

Such a nice, clean place and not crazy busy, which was perfect for my emergency crown replacement. The price was very reasonable, and  they didn’t even charge me for the checking up with the dentist for the first visit. Usually other places charge you $60-100, up on the treatment you get.  I recommend this place highly!.

Wheres I goes to gets me teeth cleaned. But seriously, I cannot recommend this place enough. I almost hesitated to rate Hana Dental on yelp because I want to keep it as my little secret. Their office is clean and pleasant and all the equipment looks brand new, a luxury in short supply in the dental world. The best part, Dr. Yoo never overbooks, and even on a weekend your wait will be minimum. The last time I went for a cleaning, I was back on the street in less than an hour. Put simply, this is the place. Go here.

Damn this is long overdue. But first and foremost, Louis is my boy. He’s the latino assistant there, and he immediately makes you forget that you’re at a dentist office. Dude is chill, helpful, and is more than willing to answer all your questions to help you through the process. Got two wisdom teeth taken out there, and Dr. Yoo and Louis made the experience an amazing one. I had virtually no pain and no swelling. Dr. Yoo is just as cool. Really friendly, he’s not out to squeeze every dollar out of you, and I appreciate that a lot, being a broke ass student. The man is too modest. He’s so good at what he does. He likes to joke with you to keep the atmosphere up. Not like a typical dentist at all. Love it. Definitely gonna come back here for all my dental needs.

Just walked out of my first appointment at Hana Dental and I am very pleased with my experience. Dr. Yoo is great. Luis is great. Front desk girls are nice. Everything about my visit was just wonderful (minus the dent in my wallet–due to lack of insurance). Dr. Yoo is kind, honest, and has a sense of humor. He and Luis made me feel very comfortable, which was pretty impressive as I had suffered with a really terrible dentist a few years back. I highly recommend Hana Dental 🙂

If you are looking for a professional, friendly and most important, an almost pain-free dental experience, Dr. Jason Yoo and Hana Dental is the place. I’ve been going there for years after a recommendation from a coworker. I had a fear of pain, which kept me from going to a dentist for years. Dr Yoo is great at taking the pain issue away. I actually fell asleep during a root canal! That’s how comfortable I was. He does great work. My mouth is much healthier thanks to Hana Dental. I recommend them to anyone. PS Cmon Love M. That review wasn’t very loving 😉

(…) I have lived in LA for 30 years and gone to a fair share of dentists. Dr. Yoo is the best by far. Our entire family now uses him. As for the staff, they are both friendly and helpful. I have never experienced a language problem with the staff. Ever. Everyone speaks english without difficulty. That one reviewer made an assumption — “considering their office is in the heart of Koreatown, and most of their clientele are Korean-speaking. Isn’t [Does he speak English?] a fair question?” No, it is actually an insulting question. You are going to an office building on Wilshire Blvd. in the middle of Los Angeles. An office building surrounded by other office buildings. English is spoken throughout those buildings, and by the businesses that cater to the people that work there. The 24 Hour Fitness across the street — They speak english, too. The Starbucks on the corner — They also speak english. You are still in L.A., not in Seoul. In fact, one of the last times I was there, he had a Latino assistant. Korean dentist. White client. Latino assistant. Welcome to LA, circa 2011. Embrace diversity. Anyway, it is that reviewers’ loss. We love Dr. Yoo. And I would hate for him to lose business because of an assumption that is simply not true.

I believe I started going to Hana Dental during my middle school brace-face days. Nearly a decade ago! They’ve seen my teeth at its worst and its best, and I couldn’t be anymore grateful for all the effort put into improving my dental health. When thinking about the dentist, our natural reaction is to cringe and nervously await the painful drilling and pulling – isn’t it? Like many, I always dreaded going to the dentist as a child but the Hana Dental team has surely put my heart and mind at ease. Dr. Yoo and Luis are seriously the dynamic duo in my eyes! I have never had dentists who are so genuine, friendly, skilled, and professional (unlike MANY of the older Korean health professionals around the LA area). I went in today for a routine cleaning after four years of neglecting my poor teeth and it was great to see familiar faces that remembered me and welcomed me back with smiles. I had tons of questions and both Dr. Yoo and Luis took the time to hear me out and accommodate my needs and financial concerns. So if you’re ever in need of a new dentist who will provide the absolute best treatment, stop your search and give Hana Dental a chance. *Bilingual – English and Korean (you got nothing to worry about!) *Parking validation *Super polite receptionists

Terrific dentist with new equipment. Appointments are efficient and I never feel upsold on needless procedures. The prices are so reasonable I dropped my dental insurance and pay out of pocket

I should have written this review a decade ago but here we are. Dr Yoo is awesome. Plain and simple. Let’s keep it real, I am a huge, HUGE chicken when it comes to dentists. Even worse, I have crap teeth and gums. Never once in all my 10 years of seeing Dr. Yoo have I ever felt scared, uncomfortable or in pain. I always leave saying “I’m so glad I came. I feel so much better!”. If you need a dentist, your a huge baby, only want necessary procedures at fair prices, Dr. Yoo is your guy. Also, Louis, Dr. Yoo’s assistant is the perfect mix of professional and comforting. GO! You know you’re overdue for a cleaning!

Dr. Yoo is very knowlegible and recommends the right procedure.Always pain free. He is also very down to earth, patient and kind. He takes time to answer questions and concerns. Can’t say enough good things about this office. You MUST SEE for yourself!! If you have ANY dental fears, DEFINITELY go see Dr. Yoo. You’ll love him.

I’m embarrassed to say this but I only see dentists whenever I’m in need of specific services like crowns or a wisdom teeth removal. I personally have been traumatized as a child going to the dentist so it’s been really hard for me to just go in let alone for a check up. I knew that the older I get, the more I need to take care of myself. It’s recommended to get a teeth cleaning every six months which I have neglected for 10+ years. I know gross but I’m telling you, I just couldn’t get over my fears for a long time. After reading the reviews and the fact that I’m not too far from Hana Dental, I had the courage to see Dr. Yoo. He was an angel. I expressed my concerns and he took care of me. Him and his staff. Not once did I feel like he was trying to upset me anything. He didn’t express any concerns and told me that I can go ahead and come back to get other work done when I was ready. Highly recommended if you’re afraid of going to see a dentist. Thank you so much Dr. Yoo.

I really can’t recommend this dental practice highly enough. The quality of care is fantastic. Really, really fantastic. The equipment is state of the art. Everyone on staff is highly skilled and very courteous. Dr. Yoo is amazingly highly skilled, and he is kind, patient, and considerate to everyone. The fees are very reasonable. Actually, they are a great deal, considering the level of care. I used to go to a place in Westwood that was on my old Cigna dental HMO. I suspect that they were upselling me on many unnecessary treatments. I spend a lot less paying out-of-pocket as an uninsured patient with Hana Dental than I did with my old dentist even if I don’t include the Cigna HMO insurance premiums. In addition, my previous dentist’s level of care was not very good. For example, when my previous dentist filled a tooth, the repaired tooth felt awkward, there was some pain for a few weeks, and it eventually began to fall apart. When Dr. Yoo removed the old filling and repaired the tooth, even though it was an extensive repair, the tooth felt better than ever.

First off, making an appointment was a breeze. Super easy and I was able to find a time that worked with my busy schedule. I came into Hana Dental for a deep cleaning. Just like many others, I suffer from dental anxiety. I hate going to the dentist. Hana Dental and Dr. Yoo made my experience absolutely fantastic. He’s easy going, listened to all my fears, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire procedure. His assistant was also helpful and made sure I was feeling fine the entire time. My teeth look fantastic and feel even better. It was a great relief and I actually look forward to going back in the future.

OH my! So much to say. We live in Pasadena and usually visit the locals for our needs. This time the Mr. needed a root canal and we do not have insurance. We called around, asked around and the $ were insane. However, dental care is not really an area where you want to penny pinch, especially a root canal…right? The search continued and we learned about Hana Dental here on Yelp. Thank-you YELPERS love you! DR. YOO is your man. Do not be afraid of his services or prices. He is a true professional and his prices are so fair! WE ARE DEFINITELY GOING BACK TO THIS OFFICE. ROOT CANAL NEEDED? Dr. Yoo is your man. Make the drive if you are far away, it is worth it. He also has Saturday appointments. Thank-you Dr. Yoo

Dr. Yoo made what could have been an atrocious experience into such a pleasing, harmless, and painless procedure. I was deathly afraid of the day I would come face to face with my heavily impacted wisdom tooth as I very much acknowledged the infamous horror stories of everyone’s wisdom tooth. The moment I met Dr. Yoo, however, I knew he was the one to commit to. I didn’t look at any other dentists because I trusted him from the beginning and his humility and humor got me through the daunting experience. His technique was flawless as I didn’t feel any of the needles going in during the numbing process, and he made sure I wasn’t in any pain throughout the whole procedure. I’m forever in gratitude for the extra stem cell service — I was healed in about four days (with barely any pain) and I absolutely will rave about this office to everyone around me for any dental issues!

I am Officially NOT afraid of the Dentist anymore!! My biggest fear for years was going to the dentist. I literally kicked a dentist once in the face when I was a kid, and got banned from there forever. Dr. Jason Yoo….. is INCREDIBLE! I got my wisdom teeth pulled out by him. I was sooooo nervous and scared, but he was so informative and really made me feel at ease. He even let me just pull out 1 wisdom tooth that day to ensure me that there wouldnt be any pain. And let me tell you…..there wasnt!! His technique is incredible! I didnt even feel the Needle go in when he numbed me. By the time he pulled out the tooth (which I didnt feel him do) and said , “I’m done” I was like….. “THAT’S IT!!?”. I immediately told him to just take out the rest…. haha. Unfortunately he couldn’t do that at the time because he was supposed to numb me all at once, But thats how INCREDIBLE and Painless his Technique is! I came back the next week to pull out the other 3. I have recommended him to All my friends, co workers and familly! And I will continue to do so! If you are scared of the Dentist like I was……. Dr. Yoo will change your perspective. Trust Me!

Just went for the first time for a cleaning and exam, and I was delighted by the dentist’s excellent bedside manner and their very reasonable prices. I had been going to a more expensive dentist in Santa Monica, and I realized I had other options for good dental care. Found Hana Dental on Yelp, and I’m incredibly pleased thus far. I arrived a few minutes late for my first visit. They didn’t give me a hard time at all, and I only waited for a few minutes before being seen by the dentist. They have very convenient office hours. They validate parking. Other reviews have mentioned the receptionist’s rather weak English skills, but she’s totally friendly – and when you’re saving hundreds of dollars, there is nothing to complain about. If you’re like me and looking for a reasonably priced, friendly dental office, give Hana Dental a shot. I was totally pleased.

It was that time again. ..Or as many of us know, it had already been way past that time. With money being tight & heading home for the holidays, I needed some crucial work done on the disaster I’d created for myself when I was younger. I didn’t think twice when it came to who I needed to call. This gem of a practice in Koreatown, on Wilshire Blvd, is run by one of, if not the best dentists I’ve ever been to. Dr. Yoo’s office is clean, professional, and utilizes the most current technology. Along with a friendly personality, great techs (Luis is the man), and affordable care, I’m not sure why anyone in Los Angeles would go anywhere else. I was able to get an appointment quickly, and now am excited, and unworried about biting into mom’s Xmas turkey when I fly home next week.

This review has been due for a month, but here I am. I discovered Dr. Yoo/Hana Dental on Yelp, after much research on dentists who are experts in root canals and also do not charge an arm and a leg, as we didn’t have insurance. First, Dr. Yoo and his assistant Luis are extremely skilled in their profession. Dr. Yoo seems to have his own techniques that he has mastered over time it seems! Additionally, they both know how to calm nervous patients, are extremely well mannered, and very humble. My 75 year old mom, was petrified to see a dentist, but Dr. Yoo handled her anxiety so well from the minute we met him. He explained what was to be done, answered all our ‘detective-style probing’ questions, and made my mother feel extremely comfortable. I watched in complete admiration throughout the two sittings at the finesse with which he did his work. He and Luis are a class act together. Luis seemed to read Dr. Yoo’s mind expertly handing him instruments etc as needed. The root canal did not hurt one bit shockingly, and my mom did not have to take a single painkiller. Dr. Yoo, you have a major fan. You should have heard my mom describing how simple the root canal turned out to be. Well, experts always make things look simple right? So to all, if you ever need dental work, do not think twice, head to Hana Dental for the best work.

This dentist has a gift! I am very happy to find Dr.Yoo. Both him and his staff are very friendly and professional. I came in for a broken and half finished molar that was giving me much pain and  trouble for years due to other dentists. I had a cracked molar with a build up. The Previous dentist spent hours painfully trying to get my crown on using Novocain.  They told I would need extensive surgery to cut back my gums to place a crown. By this point I was very stressed and needed to make sure. So I heard about Dr Yoo and decided to visit his office. He was very patient and understanding of my stress  despite being busy he was still able to crack jokes and make ease of the situation. **** HERE IS THE Best part:  he removed the build up with ease and placed a crown on that has been solid and he did not use any Novocain! There was not one bit of pain. I heard other people review say the same thing and it wasn’t until I experienced it that I understood. It was like miracle. What’s really great about dr Yoo is that he won’t brag. He is very humble. I almost decided not to go with him at first because it seemed as though he was not confident in treating me. But as soon as I had the procedure done i realized its his humbleness. His rates are very fair as well. I highly recommend his practice and I intend to go to him for my next big procedure because I have confidence that he will help me with my next procedure.

Dr. Yoo is excellent at what he does and has changed my perspective on dentistry. I walked in expecting pain and received none. Not quite sure what he does but all of my visits there were 98% pain free, I thought that was amazing. But he has a technique that is really working. Never have I been to a dentist in which, I’ve walked out every single time pain free. Not to mention that I never needed any pain medication after the numbing wears off. I have been going to his office for four months due to the excessive amount of work that needed to be done. He had to pull two teeth and it was pain free as well a couple of root canals. NO PAIN. I’ve recommended him to a co-worker who has been going to him and has nothing but good things to say about him. He made the entire process very easy for me. The staff is very friendly and his assistant is also very nice and very experienced. The receptionist is very sweet and would always call to remind me of my appointments, not because she had to but due to the fact that I would always forget what day I had to go in. I would recommend him to anyone who is afraid of the dentist. He will change that and make it a much pleasurable experience.

Dr. Jason Yoo at Hana Dental was the first dentist I have ever trusted. It’s amazing how he has little tricks that he has developed to minimize or even eliminate pain. I barely feel a thing when he injects a needle in my mouth – I don’t know how he does it but it works! I have been a loyal customer since 2004 and he has been consistently excellent the entire time. His assistants have also all been top notch – they handle the x-rays, cleaning and scaling professionally and they are also all friendly. The review about the receptionist is a bit unfair. She speaks English but her first language is Korean. Koreans can get a bit flustered or nervous when speaking English, especially if you get aggressive with them. For the first 10 minutes or so, I spoke to her strictly in English and she handled my insurance and other sign-in paperwork fine. When I busted out the Korean she was more friendly and relaxed but her English was fine too. But to me it’s all about the experience in the dreaded dental chair, and Dr. Yoo makes it smooth and easy. The best!

I went to Hana Dental to complete a crown on a recently root canal-ed tooth. The other dentist wanted $2000 for a crown! Hilarious. I found Hana Dental online and made an appointment. Glad I did. Dr. Yoo is super patient and vigilant about your comfort level. Absolutely NO PAIN (not even any pain from the poke of the Novocain needle). He performed the dental work quickly and effectively. The cost of the crown was even cheaper then his receptionist quoted ( he gave me a deal- a quarter of what the other dentist wanted) and the crown it’s self is better then the one the other dentist wanted to charge me $2000 for, both in strength and appeal. I was so impressed that I decided to have him do work on the rest of my teeth (at a huge discount again). This guy is my dentist for life. Go there. You will be happy you did.

I simply cannot rave highly enough for these guys. From the receptionists to the hygienists, to Dr. Yoo, everyone is warm and friendly, helpful, caring, professional, and affordable. I don’t have dental insurance, and as someone who fears the dentist anyway, I was scared I’d be forever doomed to horror stories of maltreatment and misconduct in my mouth. How wrong I was. How LUCKY I was to stumble into Hana Dental for a raging root canal a few years ago. Since then, and a couple more root canals later, I am so grateful to Dr. Yoo and his team for all the care they have given me, always going above and beyond what is expected. I am no longer scared of going to the dentist, either for the pain in my mouth or my purse. If you are looking for a dentist, RUN don’t walk to Hana Dental.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
