PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Lee makes going to the dentist a very easy process. As soon as I walk in for my appointment, I never have to wait a long time. Dr. Lee gets right to work and is very easy to communicate with. He keeps you informed on what he is doing every step of the way and always makes sure you are completely numb before proceeding with any treatment. His practice is super clean and modern as well, which makes every visit even more comfortable. Dr. Lee is the best!

Best dentist experience ever. I had a complication with prior dental work I had many years ago from a different dentist. Dr. Lee fixed the issue right there and then. He was really kind, thorough, and professional. Furthermore, the way Dr Lee worked, it was amazingly painless. I also really appreciated the fact that he also checked in later to make sure everything went well. The office and equipment was very clean, and the staff was extremely kind. I’ll definitely be back. Best dentist ever!

My experience at this office was the best dental experience I’ve ever had! I came in for a checkup and cleaning and was delighted with the professional service and great environment Dr. Hanfu Lee and his dental team provided. He and the team explained every step and made me feel very comfortable and executed each procedure perfectly. From his beautiful and pristine office, to the sweetest office manager Mrs. Lee and lovely assistants you cannot go wrong! Dr. Lee is patient-centered and he is an expert in his field. His standards of care go above and beyond. I don’t know anyone who enjoys going to the dentist, but with him you won’t have a problem, and I promise you will look forward to seeing him and his friendly staff. I have referred my friends and family here for their dental needs. Choose Dr. Hanfu Lee as your dentist if you want nothing but the best!

Dr. Lee runs a very tight ship. I’m always impressed with his staff’s professionalism, diligence, and integrity. I appreciate his no nonsense approach when I’m under his care. He’s very thorough and overly accommodating. He is some how able to turn a nervous stressful experience into a very relaxing and almost pleasant one. Let’s be honest, it’s never pleasant to have to go to the dentist. However, they certainly make it a pleasant experience.

I absolutely love Dr. Lee and his staff. When I first came too see him, I was in so much pain. I had 2 teeth that needed to be extracted, one already had an infection, cavities, a gum infection AND I was afraid of dentists due to a previous bad experience. I needed so much work done and my teeth were crooked.  Dr. Lee made me feel so valued and comfortable that I continued to have all my dental work done here. He is so gentle, he NEVER once hurt me!! Even with the amount of work I had done, I can honestly say, I was not in pain. Words cannot express how beautiful my smile is now. I have zero cavities, my gums are in great shape and my teeth are straight!!! Dr. Lee exceeded and continues to exceed my expectations. I will not go anywhere else. I get lots of compliments on my teeth.  I highly recommend Dr. Lee for all your dental needs. I personally promise that’s he’s the BEST DENTIST!!!!!!

Dr.Hanfu Lee is a second generation dentist for our family. He took over his father’s practice several years ago and continued the excellent service that we have had for 35 or more years. He always makes sure that we don’t neglect our dental health from surgery to cleaning. We like going to the dentist knowing we will leave with a brighter smile.

To begin, I am 86 years old and had to have all of my teeth removed when I was about 25 years old.  Between then and 2005 at 72 years of age and several sets of dentures I needed dentures again.  I do not remember how or why I picked Dr Lee but it was the best thing I have ever done. He implanted 2 posts in my lower jaw to hold the lowers Denture in place. The upper dentures were so perfectly fitted that even 15 years later they were still difficult to remove.   About 5 years ago I moved from Arcadia to Riverside County, A 124 mile round trip to Arcadia. Needing new Dentures and because of the long round trip to Arcadia I desided to try a Local Dentist.  It was aTOTAL DISASTER.  So I called Dr Lee and I now have a set of teeth that look great but feel great. Dr lee even gave me an appointment on one of his days off to take care of a miner adjustment that needed to be made.   There is no way to realy describe the feeling of” looking forward” to having  dental work done.  Thank You!  Thank You!  Thank You!

Dr. Hanfu Lee is an amazing dentist!  My children and I have been coming here for about 20 years.  I was recently in a car accident and chipped my front tooth. I went to my local dentist because my insurance changed. That dentist told me I needed a root canal and a crown on it, along with a second crown on the tooth beside it. He said there was no way to match the color of the two front teeth so they would have to do a crown on both, even though there was no problem with the other front tooth. I went to Dr. Lee because I have been going to him for so many years and I really trust his opinion. He gave me the root canal in the one front tooth that had chipped and bleached it to match the others. I did NOT need any crowns at all.  I am extremely grateful that he has cared for my family for so many years. I wish my insurance had not changed.

I have been coming to Dr. Lee for 7 almost 8 years, my mother 20+ years and he is the absolute best dentist you can see. He is very elite at what he does. He runs a very professional office with great staff members that give excellent client care. It is a clean office that is kid friendly, and very comfortable. I have had some terrible experiences in the past with other dentist and I am very fearful of any other dentist but Dr. Lee. He has a wonderful spirit and makes sure to give you the best treatment possible. He will work you into his schedule and never has you waiting longer than 5-10 minutes. I love how Dr. Lee will call after visits to make sure you are healing and doing well. I highly recommend that you go see Dr. Lee for any dental needs, you will be in the BEST of care.

Selecting a family dentist is an  important step in the establishment of good dental health.  Years ago we discovered a couple in our church that had moved to America from Indonesia.  Dad and Mom Lee took very good care of us and`our children in those growing years as we entrusted them with our dental needs.  In  fact my wife and I even got to take their sons to the Dodgers baseball games. Cleaning, cavitity attention, and all other kinds of dental work and just plain old’ TLC are top priority at his office on Huntington Drive in Arcadia. It is comforting to know and rely on a dentist that is prepared to handle any situation that comes along.   Here’s to great dental health!  Jerry

I was dreading getting my wisdom teeth out because I am a baby when it comes to pain, but i’m glad I came to Dr. Lee. Since the moment i walked into the clinic, i felt so welcomes. I was really anxious on my way there but once they explained the whole procedure to me i felt really safe and i was not as nervous. Before the procedure, Dr. Lee numbed both sides of my mouth and i thought i would feel pain during the surgery but i didn’t!! I was so amazed. I did not feel anything during the procedure, no type of pain, just a little little pressure. Minimum. Overall, my recovery was amazing. I thought i was going to be in pain the next day crying in bed but i did not feel anything. I just felt like my cheeks were sore, but it was nothing unbearable. Dr. Lee is an amazing, gentle dentist and would highly recommend him for any procedure. To top it off, he texted me the day after to check up on me and i loved that. He really does care for his patients. You are awesome, Dr. Lee!!! Thank You!!

I’ve feared the dentist for most of my life. I had an emergency dental problem and my regular dentist couldn’t get me in. I remembered Dr. Lee had treated my son years before and was professional, quick, and very easy to work with.  I gave his office a call and not only did they get me in immediately, and fix me up, but remembered who I was from all those years ago! Amazing work, with an even more incredible patient first mentality. My whole family will now be seeing Dr. Lee, as clearly they have the whole package. Thank you Dr. Lee and the amazing staff at Cosmetic & Family Dentistry, for not only fixing my tooth, but curing a lifelong fear of the dentist.

Hanfu Lee DDS and his staff are amazing people and excellent dental specialists. Dr Lee goes above and beyond for his clients. He communicates well, works dental magic, and is sensitive to the needs of his patients. Let me start by telling the fateful story of how I met Dr Lee. Once upon a time, in the early 2000s, I was young and stupid. It was December 23 and I attended a party at the Mayan club in Downtown LA. Wandering the rooms of this establishment, I ran into a girl I was dating. She wanted to have fun. She wanted to rage and get blasted. Mission accomplished in under two hours. In her drunken stupor, she went looking for the restroom. Unfortunately for her, she looked like she just landed from space and did not have her land legs. Unfortunately for me, ever still the gentlemen, I attempted to walk her to the restroom. She decided to walk through the back of a stage, in front of the dance floor. It was a restricted area. After she stumbled three yards in front of me, I decided I better help her out or else she will meet the floor, horizontally. As soon as I made my way to her, Rainbox Six and its team of six bouncers circled us. With loud music blasting, it was pandemonium. We were picked up and thrown out the back door of the club. This is where I hoped the story would have ended, but act two was under way. The bouncer was having a hard time closing the door behind us. It would not close shut, even with him slamming the door several times. My fairy princess turned into a witch and flew towards the door, slamming it into the hand of the bouncer.  The bouncer looked up, turned into a Samoan bull, and saw red — yours truly. He dashed toward me and in slow motion I said, “SHE DID IT!” Well, not actually, I thought about saying it though. Before I could blink, with one hadouken upper cut punch, I was sent flying through the dark night. I blacked out for a second. When I came to, I smiled because I did not feel anything. The benefits of adult beverages as an anesthetic. My tongue tasted blood. My tongue identified a missing front tooth. With his rage sufficiently muted, the bouncer became my new treasure hunting friend and found my tooth for me. It was midnight and so I called my partner in crime, my brother, amusing him with this story for the ages. My brother found and provided me with a pager number for an emergency doctor, Hanfu Lee DDS. Act three of this story begins now and it is more cheery than act two. I paged Dr Lee and two hours later, at 2 am, on December 24, I get a rescue call from my hero, Dr Lee. I explained my debacle and without hesitation he told me to come into his office in 7 hours, at 9 am, on Christmas Eve, an obvious day off for him and most of western civilization. I had extensive work done on my teeth — a root canal, dental surgery, tooth implant, veneer, and multiple consultations to right what was wronged over a span of several months. I have spent more time in Dr Lee’s dental office than any other health related establishment. He was extremely sensitive in his communications and excellent with his dental work. I felt close to no pain in all of my appointments. He set excellent expectations. I understood what was recommended and when it was to be performed. My teeth mug shots are still part of the annals of history, his clientele picture book — a work of art. I also go to Dr Lee’s office for scheduled teeth hygiene work. Ray, my hygienist, is just as amazing. She definitely loves her work and is great at it. I have not had to have major teeth work done on me in over a decade due to her tender loving care. It is with great gratitude and appreciation that I wholeheartedly recommend Dr Lee and Company for all and any dental work — whether hygienic or cosmetic.

Got a good deal from Groupon for a cleaning. Went in few days ago, the office is clean and Dr. Lee was very professional After the procedure, I had no pain and noticed my teeth super clean and white. Couldn’t ask for a better dentist. Not only he was good. He was very thorough. He explained what he’s going to do and checked if I have any problem with my teeth. I know I can count him not only he graduated from UCLA (Go Bruins) lol!. He was very nice, he treats his patient like his family. (Sometimes you go to a dentist and there are those hidden fees). Not with Dr. Lee, he explained everything. I can’t wait for my next cleaning :D. Definitely, recommend all my family and friends and you guys to go see him :).

Dr Lee has amazing denistry skills. I went to a different denist that was closer to my house for a tooth extraction. Turns out this tooth was much more difficult than most the dentist that started the job. Quit in the middle of the job. Well I just about lost my mind half tooth left in my mouth on saturday who can finish the job. Dr Lee is my mom and sisters denist for over a decade. We called him he said get to his office as soon as possible. I got there he went to work right a away the difference between him and the other guy. Was amazing. I was in no pain and he finished the job like a master. Go to Dr Lee if your looking for a top master denist you won’t regret it.

Never really been fan of going to the dentist. In fact, I haven’t been in quite some time (let’s not elaborate on the length, haha), so let’s say when I did go, I found out I had a lot of issues going on. First was tackling the teeth cleaning, which as surprised as I was, it was not the painful experience I’d recall from my childhood. Ray, the oral hygienist was wonderful! She was gentle and was very attentive to my reactions to discomfort. It was done incredibly thoroughly and I felt my mouth was just beaming afterwards. (Definitely smiled a lot excessively the next day.) I had to come back for a second visit because the second phase required the nitty gritty. This procedure was probably my greatest fear. Both of my lower wisdom teeth needed to be extracted because they were compacted. I was already experiencing moments of pain and general discomfort beforehand in that area, so I knew they had to go. In preparation for this, Dr. Lee provided me with proper pain meds and instruction for pre-surgery care, and I was so impressed by how well thought out they were to my concerns. Was I nervous? Yes, I never had to do anything major like that before and my tolerance for pain is kind of low, so I feeling uneasy. However, Dr. Lee really did an amazing job in making sure I was comfortable and whenever I wasn’t, he immediately remedied that with a numbing shot to the area. The surgery was smooth and him and his staff provided me with very informative post surgery care. I literally called the office several times bugging, because I wasn’t sure about certain things, but they were always receptive and kind about addressing my questions. Recovery was great, and I could not be happier with the results. Yay, fear conquered! Third phase, I had two fillings and one required the replacement of an old filling and some more work done because the cavity had expanded (I now know that I need to floss religiously). That was awesome because it was quick and I was out in a jiffy! Getting my cavities filled always seemed like a gruesome event, but this was nothing of that sort. My new fillings looked impeccable! I couldn’t even tell they were there. I knew then that this dentist is a keeper. Do I love going to the dentist? No, who does?! However, Dr. Lee and his staffs’ amazing consistency has me feeling more assured than I have ever been at any other dentist. The amount of care and quality of work they do is just wonderful. If you want to be in good hands, this is the place to go. Tip: parking is AWESOME! There’s a huge lot in the back. Super convenient and less stress. Double win!

My wife and I both use Dr. Lee.  We don’t have dental insurance, and we have found his rates are reasonable.  I have had other dentists, and I consider him the best that I have ever had.  Every time we have any major work done, he actually calls us in the evening to make sure that we are doing okay.  He gives out his cell phone number so patients can reach him if they have an emergency.  Plus, he takes patients on Saturdays.  In my mind, this all adds up to one heck of a dentist that really cares about his patients.  I consider myself lucky to have found him.

I would recommend anyone with post-dental phobia to acquire the work of Dr. Hanfu Lee. His professional technique and gentleness of extraction is unbelievable the most pain free experience that I have ever encountered. The patience and timing is one that I can appreciate and has given me the courage and calmness that I needed to go forth with than any dental work that I have experienced. Thank you Dr.Lee for your great work. You’re the best !!!]

Hands down the best Dentist! Caring, attention to detail and such a professional. I had a Root Canal done by him and let me tell you it was painless, like magic! I was perfectly fine within less than an hour. I live over an hour away, with plenty dental offices in my area and I would still make the drive to Dr. Lee’s office any day. He made me feel very comfortable, he took his time, and again NO PAIN. Him and his wife are so incredible, everything was easy going, and will work with you on the prices. I left very happy, and in such a shock to find out there is still honest Dentist out there that truly want the best for their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Lee’s office, you will not regret it. THANK YOU DR. LEE & Mrs. LEE.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Lee late last month and since then I had two procedures which included wisdom teeth extractions. If you read his bio, you will know his years of expertise and knowledge is all facts once you consult with him. He is very thorough, professional, an expert and simply a great person. As far as the procedures are concerned, you can tell he is experienced and just simply a “master of his craft.” I experienced minimal pain during my procedures. What I was very impressed with Dr. Lee is he followed up with me the the next day by call and text to check how I was doing. He provided his direct contact so if I had an issues and questions I can contact him direc As far as his dental office is concerned, it’s pristine and clean. For the staff, they are all great. Mrs. Lee has the motherly touch, especially if you have that “fear” of going to the dentist. It’s has a family environment that makes the experience smooth and enjoyable. So if your looking for a dentist that is knowledgeable, efficient, has passion for his patients and work, enjoyable, and simply gets job done, Dr. Lee is the Dentist for you!

Dr. Lee is the absolute best! As a consummate professional, Dr. Lee is always efficient, kind and caring. He always ensures I am feeling ok, regardless if it’s a teeth cleaning or having wisdom teeth pulled. He and his staff are friendly and always make me feel comfortable and welcome. With every appointment I’ve had with Dr. Lee, I am always certain that I am/have received the highest level of dental care. I trust and highly recommend Dr. Lee and his office!

I have been seeing Dr. Hanfu Lee since he first entered his practice over 30 years ago. He has done braces for two of our children. For myself, he has treated me for many procedures including root canals, crowns, tooth extraction and more recently an implant. He has trimmed gum tissue when needed. Dr. Hanfu Lee is a very caring, knowledgeable and patient professional. Dr. Lee has always thoroughly explained procedures and satisfied any questions I had. He always follows up with me after a procedure. I would highly recommend Dr. Hanfu Lee.

I been going to Dr. Lee for so many years and I just do not know what do if I did not have a dentist like him. He was so nice and very gentle. I had several problems with my teeth before. He did not ever hurt me in any way and he made me feel so comfortable. I was so happy with the suggestions on what he could do to solve all my teeth problems. He did exactly what he said he was going to do and to this day I could not be more happier with the way my teeth look. I would definitely recommend this wonderful dentist to any one.

Dr. Hanfu Lee is such a professional and personal dentist, sometimes, I forget that he needs to do his job when treating me. I treat him as a friend! I had to have 3 wisdom teeth extracted, which two were impacted, and he did the work seamlessly – no pain whatsoever. To provide more color of how comfortable I was, the music that was being played, I was drumming to the beat as he was pulling my teeth! His assistants were also pleasurable as well. Dr. Hanfu Lee is careful, thorough, and crafty in his work. He has been a dentist for 32 years and it’s safe to say that he knows what he is doing. From personal experience and viewing his past work, he can bring teeth at the state of no return, to life. If your teeth needs whitening or manipulation, he is the man to do the job. Thank you, Dr. Lee!

DR. LEE SAVED MY TOOTH. The previous dentist I went to was horrible. They made me wait two hours in the dental chair for god knows why. They cleaned my teeth but I later found out they did a bad job because there is still tartar stuck in between the teeth. They said I needed a Root canal and a crown and overestimated my out of pocket costs…at $3000. I wanted a second opinion on a lot of things because I really questioned their professionalism and skills as a dental group. I was yelping around and I found Dr. Lee for a second opinion. I was impressed during the new patient consultation because they don’t over book patients…I only waited maybe 10 minutes to do the paperwork. I liked how Dr. Lee found a lot of cavities that the previous dentist missed. I especially liked how he Saran wraps his laptop and changes that for each patient. Extra points for cleanliness! Ultimately, he was able to save my tooth with a deep filling instead of the dreadful crown and root canal. Dr. Lee and his staff are really friendly and he’s probably the gentlest dentist I’ve ever encountered. He made sure I wasn’t in pain and made sure my tooth felt comfortable and adjusted it correctly before I left the dental chair. I will for sure be back to upkeep this smile of mine 🙂

I have been going to Dr. Lee’s for all my dental work for the last eight years.  Once again, my visit on 09/28/2013 was quick, efficient and painless.  The Doctor has prescribed a clear and concise course of treatment to improve the overall functioning of my teeth, the health of my teeth and also the cosmetic appearance.  I have the upmost confidence in his professional judgment and skill as a dentist.  Thanks to Dr. Lee and all of the staff for making it easier to complete the necessary.

Dr. Lee makes going to the dentist a very easy process. As soon as I walk in for my appointment, I never have to wait a long time. Dr. Lee gets right to work and is very easy to communicate with. He keeps you informed on what he is doing every step of the way and always makes sure you are completely numb before proceeding with any treatment. His practice is super clean and modern as well, which makes every visit even more comfortable. Dr. Lee is the best!

If you follow my reviews then you know that I am very careful when I decide to review a company, service or product. Reviews are meant to be a guideline to help people decide on whether they should work with a company, use a service or try a product. First and foremost, I have extremely high anxiety when it comes to going to the dentist. I had put off going to the dentist for many years because I was terrified. The last time I had been in a dentist chair I had an anxiety attack and it took me a whole year to complete the dental procedures that I needed done, when the procedure could have been done in two hours.   About four years ago I started reading about the different links between oral and general health and realized that I needed to seriously take care of my oral health the way I am taking care of my general health. I was living in Duarte, California at the time and decided I would find a dentist near where I lived. I was so afraid to call the dental offices. I would look at their websites, look at their reviews and PRAY A LOT! I finally decided to call Dr. Hanfu Lee’s office in Arcadia, California. I told his assistant that when I go to the dentist I have extreme anxiety and was afraid. She assured me that Dr. Lee was very gentle, knowledgeable  and would be able to work on my teeth no matter what I may experience. So, I decided to TAKE A CHANCE on Dr. Lee and his dental office. His dental office is very clean and they offer water, coffee, snacks while you wait. When I first started going to him my anxiety was so strong that my whole body would literally shake while he was working on my teeth. Dr. Lee was so patient, so kind and allowed me the time and space I needed to calm down. He and his staff made me feel so comfortable that now after four years when I am in his chair I don’t experience the anxiety. Before Dr. Lee starts any procedure he explains what he is about to do. In my case he would also ask me if I wanted to watch a movie, which I always did to take my mind off of things. I love watching the movie “Monster-in-Law” starring Jennifer Lopez, Jane Fonda, Wanda Sykes and Michael Vartan. Side note, Jane Fonda and Wanda Sykes are hilarious in this movie!   Recently, I had made an appointment for my mom to have just a consultation with Dr. Lee. During the consultation, Dr. Lee realized that my mom needed some emergency work done that could not wait and also she thought that she was going to lose a tooth but he was able to treat the tooth and save it. Later that evening, Dr. Lee text me to check on my mom and to see how we were doing. Dr. Hanfu Lee is the most compassionate, patient, caring, knowledgeable and professional dentist I know. If you have ever dealt with anxiety or you are fearful of going to the dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Hanfu Lee. He is great with dealing with children, elders, high anxiety issues or whatever you are concerned with. I moved back to the Los Angeles area but still drive about 30 miles from Los Angeles to Arcardia for Dr. Hanfu Lee’s dental services! Now, if I could just convince him to open up a second practice in Los Angeles!

Got my upper wisdom teeth out by Dr. Lee! It was painless!! Ate Arcadia Chinese food a couple hours after with no problems! Btw thumbs up to Capitol Seafood on Huntington. 🙂
I’ve been going to this dental office for many years now. Getting a cleaning here is a real joy as the hygienist is gentle, uses various gels and mouthrinses to help numb you more, and uses advanced technology such as lasers to help my gums really heal up well. She is also extremely friendly. I used to have 5 mm pockets, but after help from her and better oral hygiene, my gums have significantly improved to 3 and 2 mm pockets now. The office is the most beautiful office I have seen! Also, one can see that he does beautiful cosmetic work from all the pictures of cases adorning his waiting room and reception area. He really is the best dentist I have ever been to! Dr. Lee is a UCLA dental school graduate (Go Bruins!), and is definitely extremely intelligent and friendly. Disclaimer: I am a dental student so I know a lot about teeth! I don’t know why there are such negative reviews below from the Groupon people. I guess haters gonna hate. Dr. Lee is very gentle and getting injections I honeslty barely even feel the needle. He’s had 30 years of experience performing everything from implants to basic fillings and is really the best dentist I know of in terms of overall gentleness, compassion when explaining things, knowledge, technology, and scope of practice. It is unfortunate that others had a negative experience here, but I guess those that don’t get cleanings regularly and buy Groupons to go to a new dentist for a cleaning probably don’t realize that the worse shape your mouth is in, the more it will bleed and the more it will actually hurt during a proper cleaning! Steven below had a “cap popped” into him or in other words needed a deep cleaning which can cost 5x the amount of money but Dr. Lee probably just charged the groupon fee. One can think about it this way, gums that aren’t taken care of well are inflamed and infected with bacteria that is within plaque. Inflammation causes bleeding because of thinning of the gums as well as increased blood flow (the reason that if you are allergic to something and you get inflammation it gets all red and also why gums get more swollen when infected). Also, inflammation causes increased pain due to a heightened response to pain (read wikipedia if want more info)! Getting off all the tartar/calculus/plaque that has built up over months is sometimes something that requires more force. Gums have the potential to heal if given a clean environment so removing all the tartar is essential for proper healing. Furthermore, the “bill” that was stated above by another patient is not a “bill.” It is an estimate of how much further treatment would cost if decided to perform said treatments. And yes, I will admit, dentistry can be expensive. That is why wisdom teeth extractions at oral surgeons are over 2000 dollars for 4 teeth and an hour appointment! But, that is why preemptive work is done on teeth, to actually save money for more costly procedures in the future. Lastly, it is unfortunate that one of the patients felt sensitivity after the treatment of his teeth. Since I’m a dental student now I know some things about dental work and sometimes the patient can perceive things differently because they do not know what actually is going on. Pain is not the only indicator of a tooth problem. Root canals are actually often done on teeth that are dead and can no longer feel anything at all! A filling that is falling out or that is leaking is an indicator that there is a cavity underneath an already drilled filling. Sensitivity can occur post-operatively from drilling because taking a drill to a tooth can always be a traumatic experience especially if the filling was already deep and close to the pulp (the nerves in the teeth). However, to save the tooth from its ill fated ultimate destruction if the cavity is allowed to continue growing, a dentist needs to sometimes drill on a tooth to clean out all the decayed tooth structure. A filling is much cheaper than a possible 2000 dollar implant down the road and sensitivity can often go away soon or after a few months, but it can also linger as the tooth has been through a lot. I am sure Dr. Lee had the patient’s best interests in mind, and I am also sure the X-rays would show that they were necessary treatments. I actually implore the above reviewer to go and get the x-rays from Dr. Lee and bring them to another dentist to get a second opinion on those fillings that were done, and I am sure that another dentist would agree with him. If you guys have any questions about dental procedures or dental work just comment on this review! I’d love to help explain why a dentist did something or why things are necessary. Dentistry is a very weird science to many patients, but with the right explanation it can make perfect sense. P.s. check out filtered reviews

Dr Lee is an amazing dentist! I have been coming to him since I was 5 for my dental work and I would never go elsewhere. His hygienist Rae is the best she is the only person I have ever and will ever get a cleaning from. You never have to wait in a room full of people for a while before your called up for your appointment. He sees people one at a time which I love because it means that you get his undivided attention for the remainder of your visit. It’s a small office which means that you get treated like family when you come in. His office is so clean and very modern looking, and the tasty pretzel snacks are great too!

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Lee!!! Let me first express that I NEVER write reviews, however I am compelled to write a review about the excellent care I have and continue to receive from Dr. Lee and his entire staff. To begin with, I needed A LOT of work to be done. I’m telling you, I needed extractions, gum treatments, fillings and orthodontic work. I am the BIGGEST sissy ever hence why I neglected to take better care of my teeth. I was afraid to have any work done because of bad experiences with previous dentists. Dr. Lee is very gentle and extremely caring. He takes time to explain each procedure and puts me at ease. His expertise and compassion make him by far the best dentist I have ever been to and I will NEVER go anywhere else. To say that I highly recommend Dr. Lee and ALL of his staff, Rae, Rose, Crystal or anyone else that I forgot to name is an understatement. They all go above and beyond to provide a welcoming and catering environment. Dr. Lee truly is an expert and does a stellar job. My teeth and gums are looking FANTASTIC. He is brilliant at what he does. He’s a perfectionist and a master in his field.   I am and forever will be grateful to Dr. Lee for doing such an awesome job on my teeth. He truly is a gifted and talented designer of beautiful smiles. Deborah Mendez West Covina CA
