PATIENT REVIEWS

I am a current patient of dr. q’s, actually i am a day ONE patient of dr q’s (literally) so are my two daughters AND my ex husband  (i was nice enough to share dr. q’s continued services) i wanted to write a review letting you know how impressed i am with the way dr. q has kept her patients up to date on exactly what is going on with the office and her practice. i received yet another email from dr. q, mapping out what her office and practice will look like looking forward.  many of you know dr.q dental has does a superb job of keeping her practice sterile since day one. i want to leave this review for patients that are LOOKING for a dentist they can TRUST during these confusing times. a dentist they can rely on to have the newest sterilization, that they can trust to take only the best care of them with their modern equipment to be able to do just that. dr.q dental is THE best in all areas beginning on the phone all the way through whatever it is you have done

I am generally apprehensive about going to the dentist, but I decided to try coming to Dr. Q’s after all the 5 star ratings I saw on Yelp. And I was not disappointed! The office itself is very warm and comfortable, none of the scary and sterile whitewashed walls and antiseptic smells in other dentist offices. They were burning a pumpkin spice scented candle the other time I was in, very festive. The staff is really professional and nice, and I was really pleasantly surprised when they followed up with me and asked me how I felt a few days after I had some fillings done. As for Dr. Q herself, she was very informative, approachable, and did a great painless job on my teeth. If you’re dentist-phobic, you should really consider coming here for your future appointments. Dr. Q will change your opinion about dentist visits!

I have been a patient of Dr. Q Dental for a few years now.  Nobody enjoys going to the dentist, but I can say that Dr. Q and her staff make you feel as comfortable as possible – trust me, I have had a TON of work done! Everyone there is super professional.  They have helped me out by working with me on a short-term payment plan (I have no dental insurance), I have never waited longer than a few minutes in the waiting room, and all procedures are explained in a manner which I can understand. I am absolutely thrilled with my new smile and can’t thank Dr. Q and her staff enough for everything they have done for me!!

I’ve gotta admit… this may have been the BEST dental experience I’ve ever had. The office is cute and comfortable. It feels like you’re visiting a friend. The staff is kind, friendly and most of all caring. Dr. Q is friendly, personable and knowledgable. She made a very painful, uncomfortable situation tolerable, almost pleasant. I like that she, herself did the dental work. Oh and did I mention, Lollipop? The sweet little shitzu therapy dog. Icing on the cake for sure. I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Q!

Finding a great dentist can be a crap shoot.  Scheduling limitations, impersonal staff, unscrupulous up-selling for treatments that you don’t really need, ridiculous pricing, and so on. Dr. Q’s dentistry practice demonstrates NONE these things.  The staff is professional, friendly and courteous; Dr. Q oversees every patient’s treatment and cleaning. This is the model for how a successful practice is modeled and managed. I drive 40 miles to visit her, so the product and service have to be Top Shelf!  Highly recommended. (Recently edited to correct a typo- Top Shelf, not Too Shelf!

Uhhh. Awesome she is and her staff.  Like the previous reviewer, I have become unsatisfied with my previous dentist and I was in a quest to a find a good one in my city. So I tried it with the guidance of the Yelpers. Hi Five them. First, I called the office and wanted to know what my PPO insurance would cover. (Yes I am a dummy for not knowing the details of my insurance policy. But I am slowly learning.) Kim was very kind enough to get all that information for me. So once I knew my cleaning was covered 100%, I scheduled an appointment. Once I entered their office, I got a good vibe about this place. It was not a big place so I knew I was going to get the care and the detail for my visit. My hunch was correct. I was first impressed by the high tech equipment she has. The x-ray was painless and was done with ease. You know why? Because you don’t have to bite on those x-ray films they put in your mouth. Afterwards, she took a picture of each of my tooth to show to me what is wrong with them. She was surprised by the holes left by my previous fillings. She was also surprised there were silver residuals when they were replaced by white fillings. I think the best part of my visit was how she educated me on my teeth. By examining them, she diagnosed that I chew on ice. She doesn’t recommend it because it impacts teeth structure. So now, I am going to change that habit so I don’t get dentures earlier than expected. The other cool thing about Dr. Q is that she will give you an estimate how much it would cost you out of pocket for the work she will be doing. My previous dentist would not provide me with that option and just drill and fill my teeth. Doesn’t that suck? Hell Yeah! So lessons learned: I found a very good dentist and I am happy about it

My whole family is taken care by Dr. Q. I have been going to Dr.Q Dental for probably 5 years now. My sons, age 4 and 6 were seeing a pediatric dentist before this. But I was not happy with the results of the fillings they did to my 6 year old. It was always not clean and smooth, which made it hard to floss and the fillings kept falling off. I had to come back to fix it a couple of times. Until the same fillings came off again for the third time and I decided to bring my boys to Dr.Q. Now I am so happy with my son’s beautiful teeth. The fillings never fall off, and Dr. Q did an excellent job! She is such a perfectionist and I am so glad she is! She created beautiful crowns for my front teeth and I love my smile more than ever. The staffs there are very nice too. Thank you Dr. Q for taking care of my whole family’s teeth!

Dr. Q is AWESOME.  I wanted to change from my previous dentist because I was not satisfied with his work.  So, I searched for another dental office that was local.  Dr Q had good ratings and most of her patients were very satisfied with her, so I decided to give it a try.  She gave me a consultation and provided me with a plan to give me the perfect teeth (and my teeth was faaar from perfection).  I’m about a year into my plan now, getting old fillings refilled, deep cleaning, etc… and I must say, I’m very satisfied. Dr Q is very personable and nice.  One thing that amazes me about her is that she has a great memory and remembers the details about you. Highly recommended.  Note: they only accept PPO insurance

Everytime I leave this place I’m always satisfied. As someone else mentioned I appreciated her going over the questions and asking more, which educated me.  The pictures she took of my teeth and explaining what she saw was great!  I never had that before. I mean really who knows how to read an xray.  She also didn’t do work that was not necessary but pointed out some things to keep an eye on.  Her staff is very friendly and made you feel comfortable.  And the fact that they take your blood pressure before, shows they really care about you, not just your teeth or taking you money  but overall health. I had taken a full day off on my first visit and needed to go back for more work that would be another 2 visits, but when Dr. Q found out I took the whole day off, she offered to work me into her day and lunch to avoid an extra visit and utilize my day off. I thought that was so considerate of her thinking about my time. I was there for a couple hours but it went by so fast and I left pleased.   My last dentist was a bad experience after shelling out a lot of money just to get forgotten about. So I did my homework this time and glad I did.  I’ve very satisfied.  Thank you Dr. Q and to your staff

I was introduced to this place by a coworker.  I had lost a crown and she suggested to go in right away as I can get an infection.  Luckily we were literally steps away, having lunch.  She walked me over and to my surprise, they saw me right away.  I only went once to Dr.Q and I’m hooked.  The receptionist is very friendly, the insurance person explained my benefits in detail and the back office girls, along with Dr. Q were super caring and attentive to my concerns.  My husband is already planning transferring to Dr. Q as well.

My, where do I start? Dr. Q, and her staff, are there ideal when you’re looking for a dentist. I have been going to her for several years and she has always displayed a knowledge, professionalism, and care that makes me keep coming back. Dr. Q is not overly aggressive, but keeps my teeth and gums healthy and strong. The office does not sit on idle hands, for throughout the years I’ve seen constant little improvements to their office ( coffee station, massage pads, disposable eye protection for their patients, etc) to make their patients feel comfortable. Her staff is also very efficient, and friendly. I highly recommend going to Dr. Q for your dental needs. This is the office you’ve been searching for

Had my very first visit with Dr. Q on Friday, 2 June 2017, and all I can say is WOW! We changed dentist because our family dentist of 15 years retired. We tried his replacement, and we decided to try someone else. The next dentist we tried was NEVER in the office for our appointments. So, we tried a dentist of a husband of one of my oldest daughter’s co-workers. This guy was the crown jewel of sadism. I would leave his office and my gums would bleed for 2 days. Awful. So, I stopped going to the dentist altogether. Enter Dr. Q. My wife found Dr. Q, and boy am I glad. Everyone in the office was so nice. I am terrible with names, but the young lady at the front desk was very pleasant and helpful in filling out the paperwork. Caries? Don have it, but still not sure what it is. The x-rays were digital instead of the bite plate films. Painless and quick. Next was the cleaning. OK. Waiting for the pain, waiting for the pain, and well, it never came. Fantastic! Amazing cleaning and no bleeding gums for 2 days! Had a few areas of concern and Dr. Q explained everything required for my issues. Used the latest equipment and was also pain free! The office is really nice. Old Monrovia brick building with all the modern conveniences (and no, I am not a real estate salesmen) . The entire time I was at the office, I was asked are you doing OK? Can I get you a magazine? They even had a warm towel and mouth wash when everything was done! Don’t know anyone who enjoys going to the dentist, but I can rest assured that knowing that my nest appointment will be pain free! Thank you, Dr. Q, and everyone in the office. Ron Rhodes

Our entire family is now under the care of Dr. Q’s extremely competent and friendly team. After a few attempts at finding a family dentist team we decided to trust a local professional who knows us all and gives us the best advice and is mindful of our budget. This stands in direct contrast with other local offices that are impersonal and nickle-and-dime customers for basic services. The staff is responsive and caring. They are specially mindfful of making our kids feel at ease and we’ve walked away from appointments with them asking how soon they we will be coming back. Follow up is terrific and it does not fail that at least within 24 hours from an appointment we’ll be hearing from the team with them asking if all is okay. Our dealings with Dr. Q have always been a delight

My husband and I have been seeing Dr. Q for a while now (found her on Yelp) and she has been consistently knowledgeable, skillful, and professional through the years. I’d been meaning to leave her a review since forever but I’m just lazy like that…. (Sorry, guys.) Her office has such a homey feel to it, with her little dog, Lolli, greeting clients on occasion, that it doesn’t even feel like a dentist’s office. Her entire staff is welcoming and friendly, and Kim is so sweet and she’s the best at what she does, always prompt and responsive with appointment or insurance matters. It’s rare to find businesses that treat their clients like family.  Glad to have finally found a great dentist

I just got back from a quick dental check up with Dr. Q and although I got some bad news, I can 100% say that Dr. Q is a true professional and really cares about her patients and her work! The staff is incredibly friendly and the office is absolutely beautiful. Dr. Q took the time to explain to me what I’ll be getting into with my dental work and I feel a lot of dentists will just say, “you need this” and not really explain why or how it all works. If you’re looking for a dentist, look no further than Dr. Q! SHE IS THE BEST!!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Q and her staff, they are superb! High quality of care, comfortable and pristine office environment, they do the “extra” to make the visit a very pleasant experience. My 5-year old son enjoyed his visit, and is looking forward to going back. I had my own experience with Dr. Q, too, and I feel confident we have found the right “home” dentist for our family!

This is the first time that I have ever written a review on Yelp. I am so thrilled with my mom’s new dentist that I felt that I had to share my experience with others. During our visit to Dr. Q dental office. I  heard such positive feed back about her work, and after meeting her and her wonderful staff, we understand why so many members of the community are her patients. Dr. Q and her staff treated my mom excellent. She knows how to treat people with respect! The atmosphere was relaxing,the Doctor’s cutting edge technology instilled confidence and Dr. Q immediately put us at ease.During our consultation,she explained every step of the process.I couldn’t believe how comfortable we felt. Thank you, Dr. Q

Dr. Q and staff have been so wonderful. I was so worried about my bad gum recession and had nightmares about my teeth falling out. I went to see Dr. Q about a treatment plan. She has been so kind and patient. She helps me feel at ease whenever I am there, despite how much I dread dental visits. She is meticulous with her work and ensures great quality and care. I am so thankful to have her as my dentist now

Doctor Quienc (Q) is amazing and a huge blessing to have found her. My previous dentist performed a failed implant procedure approximately 2 years ago and he could not figure out why I always had pain when chewing. One visit to Dr. Q and she performed the most comprehensive dental exam that I have ever experienced. She quickly figure out what the problem with my implant was and recommended me to a specialist who confirm her findings. Dr Q also recommended other necessary and preventive dental work needed in order to get back on track to healthy dental hygiene. Thank you Doctor Q for putting your Patients’ health first. I’m very fortunate to have found you

I Had THE best last minute dental visit experience ever. Yesterday I had eaten some gushers & my back crown popped off while chewing. I freaked out not knowing if there were any offices opened during the pandemic. Luckily from Google search we found Dr Q dental office. Called them yesterday to see if they had any openings for a recement of the crown & they were able to get me in today.  They close their office at 4 on Fridays. My appointment was at 3:15. They took all the safety precautions: mask on, hand sanitizers, temperature check. I had mini x rays done, Dr Q checked my tooth cleaned it off & recemented my crown. Suggested several options that she recommended. I told Dr Q that I would make her proud and send her photos of my follow up on getting my ortho procedure. She was so sweet. I give this office 5 stars, for overall experience & TLC. Thank you from Tennessee!

Just wanted to give a shout out for Dr. Q and her wonderful staff.  Like many folks I have a dentist phobia and had put off needed dental work for a number of years.  Found a dentist who was happy to just clean my teeth and “keep an eye” on the problem areas.  By the time I got to Dr. Q after moving back to Southern California I had several cavities and some old fillings and crowns that needed replacing.  Dr. Q was wonderful, fitting me in before my benefits ran out and making sure I was comfortable while she did the work.  Her staff checks up on you a couple days after work is done to make sure your are OK and everyone was kind, interested in me personally and fun to talk with.  Can’t recommend them highly enough!

BEST Dentist EVER! Dr. Q is amazing! She is incredibly knowledgeable and wonderfully kind. Her mix of professional and compassion are exceptional. She listens well and offers only truly required care. I always know exactly why she is doing a procedure and why it is necessary. Dr. Q is also continually on the lookout for the latest state of the art equipment to serve her patients. I remember how thankful she was when she purchased a machine that allowed her to do fillings by laser so that patients did not require a shot for local anesthesia. She knew this would personally benefit me because of my pain disease and so she let me know about the machine when she saw me next. I so appreciated her personal concern for me. Our family has been going to Dr. Q for years and we cannot even imagine going to another dentist. Recently I had a friend who went to another dental office. She had a horrible experience. I sent her over to Dr. Q. She was able to gently and respectfully explain the problems she was having and then remedy the situation. I would send anyone to her! Her staff is also wonderful. They are all very helpful and kind. As with most…visiting the dentist is not on the top of my “love list”, so the fact that ALL of us go to Dr. Q with positive attitudes says something phenomenal about her! I would highly recommend her and her team!

My family and I have been going to Dr. Q Dental for a few years now.  We are very satisfied with her work and her team of professionals.  They are always helpful, pleasant, very considerate of our time, and totally mindful of any sensitivies or fears we may have.  Getting dental work done is not something I enjoy, but it is ALWAYS a pleasure to see Dr. Q and her team of experts!  In answer to another Yelp comment, I had my 4 wisdom teeth extracted here and I was NOT put under!  It was so professionally done, I actually went to work the next day…with painkillers, of course!  Dr Q is a dentist of great character who cares!  Her smile says it all!

If you’re looking for a dentist that you can just come and see once every 3 or 4 years when your tooth aches and pay fast-food prices for, or a “yes ma’am, whatever you say” oil-change type of service, this is not the place for you. Dr Q. is a highly knowledgeable, highly skilled professional who will impress you with her confidence and her care for your dental health.  Her business revolves around doing what’s the absolute best for her patients.  The service from the whole staff is 2nd to none — they remember the smallest detail of your life, set up custom treatment plans to fit your personal situation, speak & act in the most courteous manner, follow up even when you’re irresponsible (AHEM, speaking from personal experience here), and just make you feel like you’re part of a family — a highly trained family of oral germ assassins. Expect to pay a little more than those fast-food-type clinics that get you in & out in 20 minutes and where they don’t even know your name.  But expect to get the best materials & tools applied via the best trained hands this side of the Pacific.  I always laugh at how everyone posts on Facebook how they’re either anxiously dreading a dentist appointment or complaining about how awful one was.  I go twice a year to mine and NEVER have those feelings!

Update: 2nd Appointment with Dr. Monday, 4 December 2017 had my second appointment with Dr. Q, this time for a cleaning.  As previous appointment, EVERYONE was very polite and upbeat (on a Monday no less!).  As soon as I sat down, they called me in. I am really bad with names, but the lady that did the actual cleaning was extremely thorough in her work.  She took her time and got all of the coffee stains off my front teeth! The best part however, was there was NO PAIN. It is reassuring to know that I now have a dentist that I can see for the rest of my life (unless they decide to move).  This is the first dentist that I have had that is younger than I am. Couldn’t be happier! Thank you Dr. Q and the entire staff

Amazing Dentist!  My wife has been going to her for awhile and kept telling me I needed to go see her.  I had not been to a dentist in over 10 years as I don’t like dentist to be honest.  Dr. Q was absolutely amazing.  She new I had anxiety and worked with me to feel comfortable.  I had to get a few cavities filled and a teeth cleaning.  I didn’t feel a thing!  She did a great job.  We are moving our young kids to her as well.  I highly recommend Dr. Q Dental.  She uses the latest in technology and makes you feel comfortable with what she will be doing. Such a great experience, which I thought I would never say for a dentist

Dr. Q and her team are fantastic. The front desk, to the support team, and especially Dr. Q treat all people incredibly well including my young daughters (5 & 2). I am so pleased with our choice and she continues to advise me on both matters of life & health as a parent with young kids. She is amazing and so is the whole office. Fun and thoughtful, Dr. Q is serious about relationships. If you’re looking for a dentist, she’s amazing!

My husband and I recently had our first visit with Dr. Q, and I have to say that she is the best dentist I have been to! Very kind, thorough, knowledgeable, and trustworthy. I have never experienced such great quality in oral care as I have with her. Also, her team is awesome and welcoming as well! Not to mention the office vibe doesn’t even make it seem like a dental office, but rather a zen like ambiance and homey feel. I know me and my husband are in good hands and look forward to having her as our consistent dentist in the future!

Dr. Q and her staff provide great customer service!! I can’t say enough about how everyone is so friendly and makes us feel comfortable when we visit. I have many family members who are also patients. This team is truly exceptional and I would highly recommend them. My experience with Dr. Q has far exceeded my expectations, I’ve had extensive work done and I look forward to having her care for my dental needs for as long as possible 

My previous dental experiences were horrific, to say the least. I was traumatized to the point of tears just thinking about going to the dentist. I used to cry during routine cleanings. After speaking to Dr. Q at a local event, i decided to give her a try. Setting up the initial consult with x-rays was a breeze. Kim was so friendly and I immediately felt like this was going to be the place for me. The x-rays were extensive and the consult was thorough and Dr. Q explained everything tooth by tooth and answered all of my questions. The next step was the deep cleaning, which was a breeze, then a root canal…no pain at all, no kidding…none! Then root canal #2, then permanent crowns. The second root canal was done on a tooth that effected chewing on my left side. I wasn’t able to chew on that side for years, until after the root canal. Again, completely painless. I have some more work to be done, but I am finally smiling fully and chewing on both sides 🙂 I haven’t shed a tear or been nervous at all. The staff and Dr. Q are the most amazing team and I am so very grateful that I found someone who genuinely cares about her patients. Thank you so much Dr. Q

Everyone at Dr. Q’s office was extremely friendly and professional. Dr. Q spent time getting to know me and going over my medical history to make sure I felt comfortable. Having an autoimmune disease is hard especially when people don’t understand it and want to brush your symptoms off, but Dr. Q took the time most Doctors never do. During my cleaning, as soon as I clenched my eyes, she offered to put something over them realizing I was photosensitive. Dr. Q and her staff were relatable, charming, and oh so nice making my experience a phenomenal one!

I had been going to my dentist for 24 years and while everything was ok, everything was just ok. Tired of driving 35 miles, I asked Facebook for a Monrovia area referral. Dr Q was the OVERWHELMING response from so many responders, and another local doctor had some good reviews as well, but not nearly as many. I went with the intention of seeing them both for opinions, but was so satisfied with my experience at Dr. Q i signed on for 12 new restorative crowns, and a few other procedures.  I am halfway through the process, and I could not be more thrilled with the way I was treated, the level of professionalism, the outstanding and amazing technology, fair price, recommendations for a thorough home care routine (ummm, why didn’t my long term dentist or current periodontist recommended any of these treatments?) and my overall completed smile. Did I mention my teeth look amazing!!! (an added bonus to all the restorative processes.)  THANK YOU DR. Q!  I am lucky/grateful/thrilled to have found you and your lovely staff
