PATIENT REVIEWS

I first became a patient at this practice 30 years ago when Dr. David Martin owned it. He was a warm, caring and accomplished dentist, who I was sad to see retire. (His name is still on the front door!). But Dr. Andrew Sheng took over and he has proven to be an equally compassionate, concerned and skilled dentist. Everyone at the practice, from the front office to the hygienists to Dr Sheng are very professional and the office is clean and quiet. I’m always seen on time and my hygienist Jean is conscientious and gentle. Dr Sheng has a conservative approach to dentistry and he has never pushed me to have any procedure. He thoroughly explains the situation then leaves it up to me to decide what I want to do. You’re never forced to have xrays and there is never any upselling of products or treatments. I have cleanings twice yearly and have had several crowns done by Dr Sheng. I was very nervous when I had my first one done and he put me completely at ease by patiently answering all my questions and making sure I wasn’t experiencing any pain. One time I cracked my tooth over a weekend and wasn’t sure what to do. I called the answering service and Dr Sheng immediately returned my call, addressed my concerns and reassured me that the tooth would be okay until they opened on Monday, when he saw me first thing in the morning. Dr Sheng runs a great practice, staffed by caring and capable people, many of whom have worked there for twenty years or more. The office is located in the Vons Market shopping center at 25th and Western, so there is plenty of parking and the best part is that you get a magnificent ocean view while you’re finding a spot to park!

I have been a Patient at Dr. Sheng’s office for over 25 years when it was Dr. Martin’s practice.  Everyone at Dr Sheng’s office is friendly and professional.  From the Front Desk to Cleaning to Fillings, to Crowns, to an Implant, I couldn’t be more satisfied. The best part is that I’ve never had any pain during any of my procedures.  I would highly recommend Dr Sheng and his associates.  Most of my family are also patients of Dr Sheng’s practice

I had just had a bad experience with another local dental office and was looking for office. Tried Dr. Sheng’s office for the first time and was well pleased. I will continue to go there even though I have to pay out of pocket as my Delta Dental coverage is not accepted there. Eva, the hygenist and Dr. Sullivan were very warm, knowledgeable and sincerely interested in me.

I have had some unpleasant experiences with a couple of dentists in the past, and I was a little nervous to see a new dentist. However, Dr. Sheng was professional, friendly, extremely knowledgable, and attentive.  He took his time examining my teeth and going over my x-rays with me. I was also very impressed with the friendly and professional staff. I received a thorough exam and cleaning and left feeling great about my dental experience. Dr. Sheng and his staff exceeded my expectations and I am thrilled to have found a great dentist that I can count on!

I came in to see Dr. Sheng with a broken molar that I recently had a root canal on and was in need of a crown. I immediately felt at ease in the office as the staff is very friendly and the surroundings clean and inviting.  I love the fact that I did not have to wait in the waiting room for my appointment time for longer than a few minutes. Once i was seated in the chair Dr Sheng put me at ease by explaining everything that was going to happen before he began the work. I love the technology of the office as I was able to see a magnified picture of my broken tooth on the TV screen that helped me understand why a crown was necessary. Overall great experience and I would definitely recommend other to this office. Stephanie H,

Absolutely outstanding! My son was home from college and had a problem with his permanent retainer which was digging into his lip. Adrienna, who took our initial call, was professional and very helpful. She wasn’t sure if she could work us in, but took our number and told us she would call us back. A short time later she called back as promised and had us come over. My son was in and out in 15 minutes. Thank you Dr. Sheng and staff! We sincerely appreciate it. You really helped make our son’s visit much more enjoyable!

I have been taking my now 14-year-old son here a little over two years now. Both Dr. Sheng and Dr. Tully and all of his technicians and staff are very thorough and they do a fantastic job explaining the procedures and their concerns. They also have a lot of cool books on San Pedro and surrounding areas so I like coming here to read  while my son gets his exam/cleaning. The office is very clean. They also referred me to a great orthodontist, Dr. Kardovich, for my sons braces. We will continue to come to this office as it has always been a great experience.

Just had the best experience with Dr. Sheng and his staff. Came in a couple of weeks ago for a cleaning which was quick and painless. Unfortunately for me, Dr. Sheng found a cavity that needed to be taken care of sooner rather than later. The front office staff helped me schedule a follow up appointment and I was back in the dentist chair a couple days later. I’m not going to say I had fun, but Dr. Sheng made it as pleasant and painless as possible which says a lot. Thumbs up!

Greetings, Normally I don’t write reviews, yet I feel compelled to do so simply because it is well deserved. Over the course of a few years and after some “not so good” experiences at other dentists, I have finally found a competent and caring dental practice in Dr. Martin and Sheng. I go in and come out with the sense that they all have my well being as a priority. I am impressed with their conscientious and upfront approach each and every visit. The entire staff is kind and helpful. If you are searching for a safe and trustworthy dentist, this is the place to go!

I hate going to the dentist probably bc I haven’t “clicked” with them, but I had such a good time at my dentist appointment. The doctor was super informative,friendly, and really cared about my care. The staff was sweet and friendly and helped me get a referall appointment within two days. I went back today for a cleaning and was even more impressed with how sweet Nicole was who cleaned my teeth. I’ll definitely be going back.

I’ve been going here for a few years now for my dental care even after moving out of the local area, I make the 15 mile drive because the office and staff are so amazing. I recently had to cancel and reschedule a routine appointment due to a medical condition and they sent me a sweet card with a kind note with best wishes to my home. I truly love this office and I HIGHLY recommend!

My family has been going to this dental practice for years.  They are by far the most professional dental practice we have ever gone to.  Dr. Sheng is so skilled and amazing.  The hygienists are fabulous.  From the front desk to the dental assistants, everyone is so nice. No work is done that is not necessary.  5 stars!!!

I wish every visit to the physician could be this efficient and pleasant.  The moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly faces and I did not have to wait long for Dr. Sheng.  As usual, he was nice, thorough and painless.  The whole staff is great!  Now if my medical visits were like this, I’d be a happy camper.

I am a patient of Dr Sheng since 2012.He is amazing ,caring and very professional.Office is very clean and staf is very professional. I will recommend to everyone because you will not find any better office around here. Dr. Sheng knows what is the better treatment for patient .He is not one of those doctors to make money looking for something.He cares anyone walks from that door and very family oriented office. I just want to thank you all

I have been going to Andrew C. Sheng, DMD for about 10 years. He is an extremely nice person who explains what needs to be done. I am very confident going to Dr. Sheng. I like him so well that after moving to Orange County 6 years ago I still drive in to San Pedro for my dental work. Kathy T., Laguna Woods

I have been going here since ~1991… They are warm, friendly and treat you like a well loved family member…They are very knowable and do a great job. Although we moved further inland, I still drive down to San Pedro regularly for my dental work…wouldn’t ever want to have to go elsewhere.

Absolutely a 5 star plus for Dr. Sheng!  I have been a patient of his since he started at this office and have always received superbly COMPETENT care from him.  Dr. Sheng is a dentist who really CARES for his patients and follows through with their “after-care” after dental procedures.  Example: I needed to go outside his office for a specific dental procedure which turned out to have complications which were very painful.  I alerted Dr. Sheng that I was having difficulties with the work done by the other dentist and he would call 1-2 times a week to see how I was doing…even though he had not performed the procedure.  Now I call that concern, compassion and caring!  I trust him completely.

Dr. Sheng is truly top notch…he’s simply the best! He is very knowledgeable and professional. Equally important, his “bedside manner” is personable and respectful and puts patients at ease. He is highly ethical and obviously doesn’t view patients as dollar signs. The office is very clean and comfortable. Staff is friendly and top notch as well. He inspires confidence with his expertise and gentle nature. He gives back to the community and is an all around stellar dentist!

Great dental office!!! Top quality care and service. For years my family and I went to mediocre dentists because we couldn’t find the right one and endured poor service and or recommendations/services for unnecessary work. Thankfully, we found Dr. Sheng and have been going to his office for a few years now and can’t say enough good things. He listens, takes his time, and is approachable. In summary, my family and I are in great hands when it comes to our dental care. Everyone else including the hygienists and front desk staff are great! This dental office is truly a hidden gem in San Pedro! Highly recommend it!!

I am so happy with Dr. Sheng and his staff.  So professional and very welcoming to the office.  After going to another Dentist for many years and having a problem for 1 month and not getting any better I got Dr. Sheng number and went right away.  To my surprise it was taken care of right away.  I won’t be going anywhere else.  He is Great!!!

I have been going to Dr. David Martin for over 30 years. I must say I am super picky and a bit of a perfectionist so choosing the right dentist for our family was extremely important to me. Though I dislike immensely going to the dentist, Dr. Martin and Dr. Sheng could not be any better in my mind. To start with, their front desk personnel is friendly, competent and well organized. I am always greeted with a smile and the wait is minimal. Dr. Martin has done an outstanding job taking care of our families teeth. Once when my son shipped his front tooth, Dr. Martin came in on a Saturday without hesitation and fixed it. It gave us so much piece of mind and we were so thankful. I have now gotten to know Dr. Sheng and I am most impressed. He is amazingly; approachable, understanding and extremely kind. But most importantly he is an excellent dentist. He does great work and he is a most skilled dentist. Over the weekend I had an emergency with a root canal done by an endodontic dentist and Dr. Cheng was there for me every step of the way. I have referred many people to this office and will continue to do so. Look no further. You have found The Office!

I am pleased to have the opportunity to share my very positive feelings about Dr. Sheng and Jean (my hygienist). Actually, I have dental insurance (not accepted by this practice) but I prefer to keep it only in the event of a catastrophe because Dr.Sheng has instilled confidence,, displays a caring, friendly, respectful demeanor and goes about his work in a very knowledgeable, professional way. He is very easy to talk to and always willing to provide answers to questions. I would be remiss if I excluded Jean from this review because she is, in my opinion (like Dr. Sheng) the BEST of the BEST! Over the years, she has maintained my 60 yr. old bridges and I always leave feeling I couldn’t ask for a cleaner mouth. If you are looking for a dentist, you can stop here. You won’t find better than Dr. Sheng and associates.

Always feels like home, and I’m always happy to see the staff when I come for a visit every 6 months! Drs. Martin and Sheng always take the time for a visit, and are careful to explain and work through the best options for me when I need something beyond routine care. And then there’s Chris, the world’s finest hygienist, and the ladies behind the desk -awesome! See you soon – I know, I know, I’m overdue for my check- up:(

Loved my dental visit. Recently moved to the area and he came highly recommended. I appreciate the time he took to sit down with me and discuss my dental and medical history. The staff were very helpful and I would definitely recommend him if you are in the market for a dentist. I may even switch my kids here!

My father just became a new patient (September 2018). On his own volition, he said..”…it was an enjoyable visit.” Coming from my father, this is a huge compliment, as he rarely gives them out. From (administrative) Adriana, Rachel..to Dr. Sheng, Dr. Tully and (hygienist) Rohan, we found the entire team to be very professional, yet personable (a community/local feel), patient to listen/explain- and, of course, knowledgeable. My father and I left feeling like we got “something extra” upon departure.

I honestly couldn’t believe how I was treated! It was like walking in among friends and family. Not in any way unprofessional, but a mix of professionalism and warmth. I have never had a dentist first meet with me in his office. Dr Sheng listened to my concerns and then I had my exam. His assistant, Ruth, was great as was the outer office assistants like Trina who greeted me. The doctor even called me later with an answer to a question we discussed earlier. I’m impressed with their technology and pleasant surroundings. They are sending me an email with a breatdown of what needs to be done and what is covered by insurance. I told them my budget and the dentist didn’t disappear never to be seen again. He talked about options. Go visit and see for yourself. Oh, and bring a sweater. As warm as the people are, it’s still a dental office 🙂

When I say I don’t like the dentist, I REALLY don’t like the dentist. However, Dr. Sheng and his staff may have just changed my overall sentiment. I went in this week for both an examination and cleaning. It was my first time at the practice and Dr. Sheng introduced himself personally and took his time during the exam. Who I really want to give a shout out to is Kris, the dental assistant. She made my cleaning so unbelievably pleasant! Kept me entertained, explained my cleaning in full detail and was overall a super sweet person to be around. Thank you for making one of my most dreaded adult activities a tad more pleasant 🙂

I’ve been to a handful of dentists in my lifetime and hands down Dr a Sheng is the best. His bedside manner and skilled dental work are second to none. He is thorough and really works to make sure patients understand the work he is going to do. He will take time to explain AND show images of the areas he’s “keeping an eye on” or working on. My husband and I have both seen him, and had a filling fixed or other work done by him. My husband has had more than his share of dental work and he sings Dr Sheng’s praises to anyone who will listen. The office staff and hygienists are all as amazing- friendly, helpful, and good at what they do.

Best dental visit yet!  I recently had a tooth bothering me and needed a filling.  Dr S pulled out a machine and numbed only the tooth he was working on, plus I didn’t feel a thing while he was numbing me.  He did the filling and I left without the usual feeling of numb lips.  What made it the best visit yet was because I could go get something to eat right away, also tooth doesn’t hurt anymore.

I usually have terrible experiences with dentist but I’ve been going here for the last two years and they are always so nice and they explain everything to me. I have very sensitive teeth so they always make sure I’m not in any pain. I feel so comfortable and well taken care of whenever I visit. By far the cleanest, hassle free, and nicest dental office I have been to.

I met this dental practice when Dr. James R. Murphy was about to retire and joined this practice (He’s finally retired) years ago.  I’ve had experience and exams by Dr. Martin & Dr. Sheng.   The office staff is very professional, yet personable, they know their clients, treat you like a real person and not just some body who does or doesn’t have  insurance. The hygenists are awesome, Roanne is my hygienist and although I need to get in to see her, you are always welcomed there like you were there yesterday. They offer a great monthly newsletter full of lots of important dental care information . Even though they use state of the art dental diagnostic equipment and tools, they are old school when it comes to patient care  and NOT an HMO style dentist office. I highly recommend this practice.

For the past ten years or more I’ve had only the best treatment and care from this office, and Dr. Sheng is an excellent dentist.  I usually only come for preventative maintenance, but Dr. Sheng has also repaired a chipped front tooth for me.  All the hygienists here are exceptional – as is the staff.  They’re friendly, extremely efficient, and always seem to remember who I am, even though they must have a billion patients.   Last week I called to reschedule my appointment because my father had died, and today I received a sympathy card from the staff.  That’s the kind of place this is.  I cannot recommend it highly enough.  I feel so glad this office is here.

I have never been so comfortable in a dental place let alone with a dentist. When you work in healthcare, you tend to be critical in choosing healthcare providers for yourself, you want the best.. turns out I was able to find a great dentist! Dr. Sheng explained everything I need to know, met with me before any dental work done or even a simple cleaning. The staff is so welcoming. I take pride with how I treat my patients and I wanna be treated like I treat my patients and Dr. Sheng did that! Extraordinary!

No complaints here! I have so far gone for x-rays, fillings, and tomorrow I’m going in for my cleaning. This place is great all around! Dr Sheng is great! Very nice, explains everything so that you understand it, and seems very ahead of all the “dentist trends”. When i went in for my x-rays he showed me them on the tv screen and explained how he knows if there is a cavity or not…mini dentistry lesson was pretty cool. The rest of the staff is super friendly and welcoming as soon as you walk in the door! I am very glad that I found this place and have already recommended it to people!

I have been to many dentists in my life and have had many dental procedures (cavities, root canals, you name it).  In fact, it’s rare for me to have a tooth that hasn’t had work done.  With that said, Dr. Sheng has been my best dentist so far.  By far.  (And I’ve been to some dentist to the stars on the Westside and East Coast).  He is gentle, trustworthy, explains what is going to happen and makes it as painless as possible.  I never have to wait long, and I’m out of there pretty fast.  All the dental hygienists have been fantasist as well – Chris, Jean and Nicole.  I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Sheng.
