Cornerstone Dentistry
Eric Hwang, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I’m going to preface this by saying I didn’t even actually get to see the dentist. I usually hate reading/writing reviews where you don’t get the full experience but it wasn’t like I wasn’t trying. I wanted to schedule an appointment for my mom, who has an HMO dental insurance. It’s difficult with HMOs because you have to indicate the dental facility with the dental insurance and then be able to schedule an appointment. I had called to confirm that they accepted my mom’s insurance and when the earliest they could see her as she was experiencing a lot of pain. They told me they could see her today but I needed to change her facility to theirs and have the insurance fax over the facility change form. I jumped through all the hoops that was required and waited about 5-10 minutes before I called them back. And called. And called. And called. In the span of about 45 minutes, I called 6 times. I thought that’s strange and grew suspicious so I decided to use my google number and call them through that instead. My call was answered after the 2nd ring. It seems like they did not want to take on my mom as a patient or made promises they couldn’t keep. Either way, they wasted an hour of my time when I could’ve found another dentist to help alleviate my poor mom’s pain. In any case, with the recent poor reviews and my experience, I’m kind of glad we ended up going with another dentist.

One of the best dentist experience I’ve had! My HMO insurance was about to end and I decided to check this office out based on Yelp reviews. Plus with only 2 weeks before my insurance ended, they were one of the few that still took new patients. Front staff was friendly and suggested I filled out new patients form located on their site to save me time during my visit. The dental assistant that took my X-rays was very gentle. It did not feel like she was poking around my mouth. They have a large flat screen tv in front so you can view your X-rays as it is being taken. Dr. Eric Hwang was great during the exam! He reviewed the x rays, check your teeth for deep pockets, and explained his plans. Out of all the dentist I’ve been to, he did the best explaining what a deep pocket is by using your X-ray and charts for visuals. Ever wonder what are those numbers dentists are saying when they check your teeth? It’s on a scale of 1-7 and the higher it is, the more severe the cleaning is needed. He provided several procedure options to fit everyone’s budget. This can range from the bare minimum, suggested, and optimal if you want to do extra stuff. The hygienist did Jennifer did great cleaning my teeth. She was very through and didn’t rush. Overall, I like this office because they are transparent and I didn’t feel like they tried to up sell or over charge me compared to other offices I’ve been to. They also ask for Yelp reviews as it is a way to make their presence known since they are located in a medical building and cannot be found easily. They welcome negative reviews as well because it is an opportunity for them to grow and learn how to improve. Great job!

The absolute best Dentist and most friendly front and back office staff ever! I have been coming to this office for a couple years and am always happy with the attention and service I get. I had my wisdom teeth removed and Dr.Hwang did a great job preparing me for everything and his team followed up with me to see how I was feeling after a couple days. Love this place!

Yesterday got my teeth cleaned by Dr Hwang after 4 months having my braces on. I understand that it’s harder to clean teeth for those who have braces on than for those who have not. However, Dr Hwang did an amazing job on cleaning my teeth, I felt my teeth become so clean and fresh after he finished! In addition, he also advise me how to brush my teeth using the electrical toothbrush with the braces on! He is super friendly, knowledgeable and kind Dentist. I am 100% satisfied his service. All his staff are also nice and friendly as well! I would come back to have my teeth cleaned again after 4 months and would highly recommend him to anyone I know!

I recently went to Dr Eric Hwang’s office with a horrible toothache. I hate dentists and I avoid them with all cost. That has now changed thanks to the absolutely wonderful care I received at his office. He not only fit me in at the end of the day but he took the time to make sure i was comfortable before doing the work. He is a great dentist and his staff is wonderful. He always makes sure that I am taken care of and I am not just another number and rushed out of 

Lets start off with when I was a little kid. My family had this dentist that they swear is the best dentist on earth. I never see what they’re talking about because every time I would go in there for a cleaning, it would hurt. She was never gentle at all!! Of course every visit would make me hate the dentist more and more and eventually I was afraid of going to the point where I would purposely throw the 6 month reminder notice for cleaning away before my parents would see it in hopes that they would forget. Before I came here, honestly, I haven’t gone to the dentist in about maybe 7/8 years. I know that that’s terrible but could you blame me? Years and years of painful dental visits? Anyways, I found Dr. Hwang on yelp after researching for days for a GREAT dentist that accepts my insurance (I have HMO so my options were very limited). The staff was very friendly and the assistant is hilarious. He made me feel very comfortable, definitely eased my nerves before I got to see Dr. Hwang. After taking my xrays, Dr. Hwang came in explaining what was wrong. Basically after years of avoiding the dentist, I’ve developed a lot of plaque that was causing my gums to bleed here & there. He was very thorough about everything and was very attentive to my needs. We ended up doing a deep cleaning & he was very gentle and made sure I was doing fine every few minutes. He told me that as long as I floss daily and take care of my teeth, my gums will eventually go back to healthy. Well, it’s been two weeks since I’ve seen him and I’ve followed his instructions and I can now say I have clean teeth and my bleeding has completely stopped! I can tell that I always have fresh breath now and I love how clean it feels! If you’re scared of the dentist like how I was, trust me Dr. Hwang will take your fear away! Thank you Dr. Hwang & your staff for everything! I can officially say that I am no longer afraid! 

I am not sure how this place got a lot of 5 stars rating. Their customer services are terrible. They gave me a quote and asked for co-pay. I never heard about co-pay on dental insurance. Its either over the cap or special procedure. The copay came out to be some extra things they want to sell me for my procedure, which should not be defined as co-pay. They need to be honest. Stop thinking everyone is a stupid. Ppl can read the charge!!!! On top of that kinda scam, the technician who took my xray seemed to be sleepy or on drug that cant pay attention on what she was doing. Please avoid this office or again please be aware of the charge.

I just hate going to the doctors, dentist and optometrist so I begrudgingly came here. However, I decided that this place can’t be all that bad if the reviews were so solid. I called and they were able to book we within a week and boy was it easy running my insurance. The staff here is awesome, Maria handles the scheduling and so far, I’ve been able to reschedule no problem. Also, Joy who did my cleaning was awesome and she made the scraping of my teeth enjoyable by keeping me distracted with her eccentric stories. Of course, the man of the hour is Dr. Hwang himself and he was very friendly and informative. Usually, I am very leery when the dentist tells me I need certain procedures done because they never explain it here. However, here they take photos of your teeth in color and stick a camcorder device into your mouth so that you can see everything in your mouth. Suffice to say, I was very thankful for Dr. Hwang taking his time to sit down and tell me what is going on. Overall, my experience has been great. The staff here makes everything run smoothly and easily. I highly recommend Dr. Hwang.

I chipped my tooth, looks awesome! Doesn’t even look like it was ever chipped, perfect match to my original tooth!

Dr. Hwang used this numbing mouth rinse on me which made the deep cleaning pain-free. He’s really straight forward on the procedures I need and didn’t need, so I didn’t feel ripped off like I did at other places. Equipment is pretty advanced and high tech compared to my old dentist’s so I felt that I was in good hands with information on my oral health. Would recommend to others. Susie, the dental hygienist, was very sweet and professional. She made the teeth cleaning on my 6 month follow-up pleasant. I didn’t use the numbing mouth wash, but the procedure was bearable and didn’t hurt too bad. She would frequently check up on me during the cleaning to make sure I was okay. Would recommend her also. Staff was professional and pleasant in my experience. From dental assistants to front desk receptionist.
