PATIENT REVIEWS

Great Dentist. Finding a dentist that cares, knows what he is doing, and is gentle with your teeth. Although he does talk to you while his hands are in your mouth, it’s good conversation. The best part is he took the time to educate me…showed me what I have been doing wrong, and how to fix it.

The office has great staff, who are friendly and go the extra mile to make sure everything is set for your visit. I forgot to request my x-rays, they reminded me, and sent me the documents I needed to sign from my previous dental office to get the x-rays.

Highly reccomend to anyone in the Irvine/Orange County area who is looking for a dentist.

I have been going to Dr. Joe Passamano for years and I couldn’t be happier having him as my dentist.  He is gentle, knowledgeable and patient.  Dr. Joe always has my best interest in mind and never pushes unnecessary procedures on me.  He is accessible and I have no problem getting an appointment with him.  His mild manner makes me feel real comfortable during dental procedures.   Dr. Joe genuinely cares and it shows.  If you are looking for a good dentist, go to him and you will be glad.

Look no further… You have found THE dentist. Honestly, Dr Passamano is the best! I rarely take time to write reviews, but I truly feel Dr P deserves one… He is really really amazing. He is not only excellent at what he does, he is also really honest and caring. I’ve been to so many dentists in my life & I’ve finally found one that I truly trust. He never tries to upsell and is very straight forward about what his recommendations are and what is needed, now or later, or not at all. His office is clean and has the latest technology, even my husband who’s a surgeon is impressed by their radiology equipment! I’ve always been happy after my appointments, no pain, and great results. I highly recommend him to any and all of my friends and family. You won’t be disappointed. Thank you Dr P for always taking such great care of me and my family!

Dr Passamano is among the best dentists I’ve had. He explains everything, presents the pros and cons of different treatment options, and does very good work. The office is standard -state of the art equipment. The staff is great as well.

Been going here for years and Dr JP is the best. Very friendly and knowledgeable, doesn’t try to upsell or anything like that. Superb experience all around and everyone I know that goes here loves it!

Dr. Joe is far and away the best dentist I’ve ever visited. During a dental emergency right before Christmas, he was able to squeeze me in between patients on an hours notice. He answered all of my questions in a calm, friendly manner and didn’t push expensive treatments or procedures on me.

Recently, I had a deep filling done, and it was painless, quick and easy. He even called me the same day after a few hours just to see how I was feeling. I will be a loyal patient of Dr. Joe for years to come! You rock Joe!

So friendly! Always making me feel comfortable. This was my first time here and came because this dentist was recommended by a friend. The office is in an older trailer but everything they use is very up to date. Is all the latest technology! Everyone I came in contact with was friendly. The front receptionist, the hygienist, and the dentist were all exceptional! I came to them after not seeing a dentist for 4 years. Will definitely be back!

I went in to see Dr. Passamano after my jaw was in severe pain from a previous root canal that was done incorrectly.  After an exam he explained what was happening, my best options and his recommendation. He was able to get me in for the procedure very quickly and was able to get started on the work that needed to be done right away.  He was very friendly and I really appreciated the way he explained what he was doing as he was performing the work.  I never once felt uneasy or uncomfortable, which is a first at a dentist for me.  I highly recommend Dr. Passamano.

I always use to hesitate in meeting any dentist but  after meeting Dr. Passmano on recommendation of my friend, i am no more scared. He treats you like friend. I would recommend him as he understands patient well and make you feel comfortable first, very flexible in approach, timings.

I must mention here that he never push any thing which increase your cost, in fact he work out to save cost as much as possible.. Thank you so much doc

After (a bad dental experience) I called my sister to vent about it and she told me to call Dr. Passamano. I called him right away and I couldn’t be happier that I did. Dr. Joe was not only extremely knowledgeable he was empathetic to my situation and not pushy like my previous dentist. He told me exactly what I needed without trying to make me pay for unnecessary work. Dr. Joe ended up doing 3 fillings on me which were a breeze. I usually have a phobia of needles and dental work but Dr. Joe was so quick and efficient I am actually looking forward to going back and finishing the work I need done.

Great guy, great office. I’ve been going to him for the past few years now, and have always been happy with his work and bedside manner, I always felt like I got the VIP treatment, then I referred him to some of my friends… turns out he gives everyone the VIP treatment. Hands down, best dentist I’ve ever had!

Found Dr. Passamano by pure chance. We were on the hunt for a new dentist, and the girl who answered the phone and took our appointment was so nice and helpful! That was the first positive sign! We went in and he was so pleasant! He answered every question, and was extremely gentle!

My other dentist was always saying we needed this and that… Money money money. I was expecting the same with every dentist and boy is this Dr not even remotely close to that! He told us what we need and the cost isn’t that much at all!! We have had 3 appointments so far and all were after 5PM, when we were told we can make a late appointment we were beyond happy, I’ve never been to a dentist that stays later then 5!! With all this I am extremely happy with the services and the staff!! I would def recommend Dr. Passamano

I love going to see Joe and the hygienists.  Everyone is friendly, easy to work with and they take their time.  I never feel rushed and I never have to wait very long.  I have never experienced pain while having treatment.  I like that his office is in a historical area.  The parking is plentiful and you don’t have to drive around looking for a space.  My entire family goes to Joe and we couldn’t be happier.

Dr. Passamano and staff do a great job making their patients feel comfortable and cared for in a professional but small family dentist practice. Top quality, state of the art equipment is used in a conscious effort to stay up-to-date as well as to benefit clients.

Personally, I’ve always hated going to a dentist. The procedures are uncomfortable, and different staffs usually make me feel like just another number they want to get processed as quickly as possible. That’s not the case at Dr. Joe Passamano’s practice. Everyone’s very helpful and friendly, and I feel they genuinely care about giving me a professional and good experience. I’ve finally found a dentist I don’t dread and like going to! I highly, highly recommend them!

Dr. Joe is a great dentist. His office is very clean with brand new, state of the art equipment. I went in to take care of multiple cavities and the Novociane shot was relatively painless. I’ve been to lots of dentists in my day and Joe has been the best yet. Highly recommended, comfortable and very reasonably priced. Thanks Joe.

Dr. Passamano has been our family dentist for a few years.  On a late Friday evening my daughter needed immediate attention after she broke her front teeth skateboarding.  It was so stressful, my daughter panicked …but Dr. Joe took her in and did the treatments she needed at that point  and soon we were on our way home.  I can not tell you how appreciative we were for Dr. Passamano and his staff.  THANK YOU!!!

This place is in high demand for a reason – service is great, appointments are painless, and you never have that dreaded feeling about going to the dentist. Everyone I’ve encountered has been really pleasant and Dr. Passamano is really easy going. I really like this location so much that when I went onto my boyfriends dental plan (…) so I could continue coming to this place.

Best dentist experience(s) I’ve ever had. Thumbs up.

I have been a patient of Dr Passamano for 2 years and always enjoy going to the office. The staff is very pleasant and efficient and Dr Passamano is very nice, professional and calming. He gives thorough explanations for any issues and is an overall great guy. If you’re in Irvine I don’t know why you would go anywhere else!

My recent experience with Dr. Joe Passamano was quite easily the most relaxing, quick, and painless visit to the dentist I’ve ever had which was great in light of what I needed done. I had recently chipped several of my front teeth surfing and was dreading the experience of getting tooth restoration or reconstruction done. But as a professional actor, I needed to fix my money-maker and fast. I reached out to Dr. Joe to find out if this was something he could fix and I was able to make an appointment with him much sooner than I had anticipated. I was more than pleased with the work he did as well as my whole experience at his office. The staff was so warm and personable, and made me feel at ease like I was in good hands. And I was!! Dr. Joe guided me through the process of what needed to be done to fix my teeth and made sure I was comfortable with all of the decisions we made along the way. Once the work was done – which took seemingly no time at all – it became incredibly clear that Dr. Passamano is truly knowledgeable and professional with his work. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Joe and will definitely be returning to him for my future dentistry need

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Passamano! He truly cares about his patients and is extremely knowledgeable. He actually makes you look forward to your dentist appointments!
I have and will continue to recommend him to coworkers, friends, and family.

(…)After 3 months of tooth pain, 3 different dentists, 6 appointments and a dozen different pricey “treatments”, I went to Dr. Joe’s office for yet another opinion and to basically beg him to pull my troubled tooth. I was in so much pain! After a thorough examination, Dr. Joe concluded I had a very bad infection underneath the tooth and I would need a root canal asap. How none of the other dentists caught this is beyond me! Dr. Joe and his wonderful staff stayed late so they could begin the procedure and relieve some of my pain. Within a few days I felt the best I had in months! I recently finished the second part of the root canal and the only pain I felt was a little pinch when he injected my gum. I am so grateful to Dr. Passamano and his office for being so attentive, caring and sincere. They made me feel relaxed, comfortable and well informed throughout the whole process.

Excellent dentist. Very personable, caring, and informative. I just moved to the OC and found him by chance and glad I did. Occasionally available on Saturdays which works great for me. Never had a better time at the dentist. Feel like dropping by just to say hi. Very skilled too. Highly recommend!!!!!!

My first visit was to have a crown fixed. I am new to Irvine and this was the most convenient place. Dr. Passamano is a very likable guy, knowledgeable dentist, with friendly, competent staff and professional office. I’m glad I found him and feel I will be in good hands at his practice. Thanks much!

(…)go with Dr. Passamano! He’s honest, kind, gentle, and personable. He actively listens to your concerns and won’t advise you to have over the top unnecessary treatment, when all you need is a simple filling. I will definitely be recommending him to all my OC friends and colleagues.

Dr. Joe was amazing. I was terrified to get my root canal today but it didn’t hurt a bit and he made me feel totally comfortable. I would highly recommend him as a dentist.

I’ve been a patient of Joseph for the past 2 years. Him and the staff are great! Very welcoming, timely and knowledgeable – I’m definitely grateful to have him as my dentist!

I get my teeth cleaned by Dr. Joseph Passamano, he is very thorough, does a great job and makes sure you are completely comfortable. I have recommended him to many family members and recently a more important referral-my grandmother.

My grandmother had a large cavity and tooth decay in one of her front teeth. It was difficult for her to eat and she was embarrassed of the way it looked.  So, what can I say about Dr. Joseph Passamano, that my grandmother has not already? Dr. Passamano gave my grandmother her smile back! She is happier now, can eat better and my family is so greatful for all his work that he has done. She came in had her work done and with no complaints of pain or discomfort during the process and the results are amazing. I’m glad I found the family a new family dentist.

Dr. Passamano is super laid back, down to earth, and very funny, but is serious when he needs to be. He is also very knowledgeable. The staff are also friendly and easy to get along with. I am not a fan of x-rays but the lady helping me made the process as easy as possible for me. My family and I were looking for dentists, and didn’t seem to like them. But after one visit, we all really liked him. A very excellent visit so we are definitely staying!

Love love love this place.

I came in for a full exam/teeth cleaning and was a little apprehensive since i made my appointment based solely on his yelp reviews. Honestly, i couldn’t have walked out happier! Dr. Passamano is awesome. He is both honest and knowledgeable, I never felt like he wasn’t listening to my concerns and he provided thorough explanations to answer all of my questions. His hands are gentle and he was constantly checking to make sure i was comfortable.

Him and his staff are so friendly and welcoming, it was refreshing. Absolutely the best dental experience i have ever had. I won’t be going anywhere else!

Dr. Joe is amazing hands down the best Doctor I have ever meet. I am very happy that I found my Dentist for life. He truly cares about his patients and is not a salesman trying to sell you procedures you do not need. I never wait more than one minute before I am seen and his staff is very accommodating. I strongly recommend him to anyone who is searching for their perfect dentist.

There is a reason my family has been going to Dr. Passamano for years.  He is professional, courteous, and most important painless.  They work hard to make sure you feel at ease and are comfortable, and best of all there is rarely a wait.

I have always hated going to the dentist, well not anymore. This quaint office has a laid back approach which is good for anyone that stresses about going to the dentist.

The staff is nice and down go earth and the doctor rocks. Give them a shot you won’t be disappointed

Visited this office after a bad experience elsewhere!  He took care of my issue (had been living with pain for 2 months) and made sure I was comfortable again.  

The Dr as well as his staff are very courteous and a huge plus is that they have been on time for all my visits so far.

(…)I used to have anxiety going to the dentist, but not anymore. Dr Passamano makes you feel so comfortable that it’s like going to see an old friend.  Throughout both of my appointments (first was a checkup/cleaning; second was to fill two cavities) he explained everything he was doing and constantly made sure I was feeling okay. He answered all my questions without making me feel dumb for asking.

I also used to dread that moment at the end of a dentist appointment when they tell you all the things you need to do and all the money you need to spend to do them.  Not once has Dr Passamano done that.  He is very honest about what needs to be done to care for my teeth and about things that don’t need to be done.  He is also honest about what needs to be done now and what can wait.

Having a trustworthy dentist who makes you feel comfortable every time you walk in the door is priceless. It is such a relief to know you have found one. I recommend Dr Passmano to anyone who is ready for the best in dental care.
