Well after putting off the dentist for way, WAY too long (close to 7 years, yikes!) I finally decided that I was going to look on Yelp and try to find a dentist to go to and finally stop putting it off! I had some unpleasant dentist experiences in the past and was very nervous about going back. I saw all the great reviews Dr. Gih had so I thought I would call and see if they accepted my insurance. They were very helpful and checked my insurance and let me know that it was accepted there. I made an appointment and immediately started being nervous about going. (Yes, I am THAT nervous about dentists!) I went in for my appointment and I was so pleasantly surprised. My last dentist was at a large dental office (with multiple dentists, several locations, etc.) and I immediately noticed the different atmosphere here. It was a much quieter, less stressful experience. I didn’t just feel like I was a number, being herded through like cattle. I felt like a valued patient! The whole thing was such an easy experience. I ended up only needing one minor filling. It was a quick and painless experience and I have promised myself I will stay on a regular schedule from now on to avoid the stress of worrying about it! I already have an appointment booked for my 6 month cleaning. Dr. Gih and his staff were all so nice and made the whole thing so much easier than I thought it would be! I am grateful to have found this office!

I was looking for a family dentist that can take care of the whole family, incl kids aged 7 & 10. The office was clean, inviting and had plenty of free parking in the back. They were able to accommodate all four of us in an appt and get us through our cleanings in a timely manner. One kid had to have a filling and Dr Gih and his staff were very patient & kind with settling anxious nerves and very gentle in performing the filling. I would give an extra star just with the skill in calming her down!

Dr.Gih is such a great Dentist! I had the pleasure of working with him for a little over 3 years. I have seen him go out of his way to put patient care above all, he truly cares and takes pride in what he does. I would love to be able to have him as my dentist!

Had a good experience here.  Came in for a routine check up, xrays, and cleaning.  The front desk assistant was very nice and I waited less than 5 minutes to get called in.   Dr G was approachable and took time to do the exam.  He let me know there were a couple of spots he wanted to watch and observe as long as I continue to come in for cleanings which was fine with me.  Hopefully won’t have to get those worked on.   The cleaning went well.. not too aggressive or uncomfortable but I felt a big difference as far as the smoothness of some of my teeth when I left from when I came in.   Definitely coming back in 6 months and I am glad they didn’t try to railroad me with a bunch of stuff I didn’t need.

I didn’t think I’d ever say this… I had a great experience at the dentist last weekend! Usually, I dread going to the dentist because it’s a painful experience. But Dr. Gih and the dental hygienist, Sabrina, made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. We started with an extensive questionnaire, and then Sabrina took x-rays of my teeth. Dr. Gih came in and interpreted the images with me. He even asked Sabrina to take photos with a camera to help me see certain details better. Before they started with the teeth cleaning, Dr. Gih explained the plan: he’d use the ultrasonic instrument first, then hand tools, and finish with polishing. This simple step of outlining the plan is huge to me, and I appreciated knowing what to expect. The cleaning was pretty painless, and I was happy with how clean my teeth were after. I left the appointment looking forward to my next one!

Ever since growing up, I regularly visited the dentist.  Although it was never a pleasurable experience, I still went twice a year.  My uncle was actually my dentist growing up, throughout the years I have also tried a few other dentists recommended by friends, family and even my insurance company.  None of them ever came close to the meticulous care my uncle did on my teeth.  A few years ago, unfortunately, my uncle retired from this industry due to age…this left me with one big fear.  Will I ever find a dentist as good as he was?I tried at least 6-7 other dentists before finding Dr. Gih and his entire staff in cozy downtown Claremont, right in the village.  Admittedly, when you see where his office is located, your first instinct is that this will not be a cheap visit!  Let me tell you, whether you’re paying out of pocket or going through insurance, Dr. Gih is one of the most reasonably priced dentist out I have ever met and his work surpasses any dentist I have ever gone to in my entire life.  Meticulous, professional, patient and gentle.Dr. Gih is not out to do unnecessary jobs or operations.  If you don’t need it, you simply don’t need it.  We truly need more practitioners like this in the industry, not those that care about their bottom line or bank account.  You will get genuine opinions, not up-sells. I cannot reiterate enough, throughout every visit I have ever had, Dr. Gih has been meticulous, patient and will frequently make sure you are comfortable.  Both Dr. Gih and his staff are gentle and will never make you feel uncomfortable.What more can you ask for, genuinely nice people, a conveniently located office, honesty, affordable if you’re paying out of pocket and lastly, accepts a variety of insurances.

Dr Gih is a great dentist! He is talented, humble and honest.  I will recommend him to my family and friends and definitely go back without reservations. The girls in the office are also very professional, and helpful.

Dr. Gih has great credentials and is a good dentist. He went to UC Irvine and USC. He was also dentist in the Army, so I’m very happy to be giving him my business.  As a dentist, he has a surprisingly gentle and delicate touch. He did some work that I’ve had done in the past, but this time, I barely noticed it with him. I definitely see him as my long term dentist, mainly for this reason. I know I’ll need more work as I get older!

Just had a deep cleaning done a few hours ago.  Stephanie was great!  She did a good job explaining everything in ways I could understand. I havent gotten the deep cleaning that I needed in 10 years (literally) because I was so traumatized the first time.  This time it went smoothly.  No pain this time!  I have the other half of my mouth to do next week and looking forward to my next visit, instead of thinking of an excuse not to come.  Nick runs a great office.  Welcoming staff.  Highly recommend it here.

Just switched to Dr. Gih after a recommendation.  All my previous doctors always seemed to find lots of work to do on my teeth and were semi-pushy.  I ended up paying thousands for work, so I was pleasantly suprised when after my X-rays and cleaning I didn’t have any issues other than the ones I knew about.   I had some minor work I knew needed to be addressed and he gave me his advice and never pressured me to do anything. I have this permanent retainer my previous doctor installed after invisalign that had broken in a couple places. He told me I could even have my permanent retainer removed if I wanted, not pushy at all to do more work that might not have been necessary.  But I know my teeth have moved in the past so I opted to get a new one installed.  Dr. Gih was able to take a mold and get a new one made and installed within a few weeks.  At the same time he was able to take a mold of my teeth for a mouth guard (for my teeth grinding) and have it ready when I came in for my new retainer. So now my retainer is all fixed, got a mouth guard for my grinding, and teeth all cleaned.  He hooked me up with all the typical toothbrush and retainer cleaning solutions.   There is plenty of parking outside, never had any issues and I never had to wait more than 5-10 minutes in the waiting room.  The staff all seemed nice and was easy to make an appointment over the phone.  All-in-all a great experience!

After moving to Claremont and too many failed attempts to continue on with our previous dentist in South Pasadena due to distance, we switched to Dr. Gih after finding his name on our insurance company’s website and comparing it to the online reviews. From my initial phone call to schedule appointments through the time our appointments were over and I was scheduling the next ones, the office staff was friendly, welcoming, helpful, and personable. Definitely some of the best I’ve encountered.This was especially important when it came time for him to examine my youngest son, showing him the instruments he was using and explaining what they do. His hygienist (whose name I have, unfortunately, forgotten) was equally amazing in both her friendly and gentle demeanor but also in the way she explained everything that she was doing.Dr. Gih addressed concerns that I’d had for years about my older son’s teeth but had been dismissed or ignored by previous dentists and actually took them seriously, referring him to a few different specialists. That level of knowledge and integrity was very impressive and left me feeling like this is someone we can really rely on and trust for our dental needs.

Dr. Gih is literally the nicest dentist ever! He had really good reviews on Yelp so I decided to give him a shot. I’m glad I did. His office is in the heart of Claremont – in the village. When I first walked in, I was surprised to see some cute festive Halloween decorations. I appreciate that kind of effort. His staff was especially welcoming and friendly, especially Maria, his assistant. Maria took my x-rays and she was super gentle and nice when she had to put those x-ray sensors in my mouth (I’ve been hurt with those things in the past). Dr. Gih did my teeth cleaning and he was super thorough and had very good bedside manners. Every once in a while he checked to see if I was doing OK. I didn’t have any major problems, but he mentioned to me that my wisdom teeth were impacted and discussed the pros and cons of taking them out. He was not pushy at all and did not try to up-sell me on treatments or anything like that. In my opinion, any doctor who does not try to make you spend extra money where it doesn’t need to be spent is the doctor you should be trusting. Overall, if you’re in need of a great dentist I’d pay Dr. Gih a visit, you won’t be disappointed!!

So I came here on short notice without an appointment, even though they were booked throughout the week, they still managed to squeeze me in. I was having some problems with my cavity that I was putting off for awhile now, and come to find out I had to get a root canal without insurance ..luckily they worked with me in order to figure out a way to help me out so I can get treatment done for the same day. Dr. Gih was very helpful to the point where he asked if I had any questions multiple times and elaborated on every detail of why I had to get a root canal and any other options I can take (like pulling the tooth). Sabrina, the dentist’s assistant, was really great at explaining my options financially and helped with understanding x-rays after she took them. I’ll be coming back here for check ups so this doesn’t happen again. Thank you for saving my tooth lol

Great atmosphere!  Got my crown fixed in no time… (my previous dentist called in sick!!! I was asked to go to a branch and when I called I was told it will take a couple of hours.)  I needed to go to work asap so I tried this one close to my house instead and guess what !  My problem solved… oh and yeah… doctors here doesn’t call in sick!! lmao..  Loved this place!  The doctor made me laugh when he said that they don’t call in sick!  hahahaha!  Thanks doc!  I appreciate you!

I made a trip here from a recommendation by my close friend. Dr Gih and his staff were welcoming from the moment I arrived. I came in for a cleaning and some X-rays. Dr Gih was very informative regarding what he saw from the X-rays and the cleaning was done with care. I will be coming back for my future cleanings because I had a great experience and the staff seemed to really enjoy working at this location.

Michael L. from Ontario, CA (Source: Yelp)

It’s been many years since I’ve seen a dentist. I got new dental insurance so I decided to give Dr. Gih a try based on his perfect yelp reviews and was glad I did! He and his staff exceeded my expectations. His front desk assistant Alma was very friendly and nice. She made the whole x-ray process really easy and smooth. It was really important to her that I was comfortable. She also did a fine job polishing my teeth afterwards. Dr. Gih was very easy to talk to and informative. He listened to my concerns and provided me with conservative options to address my problems. Honesty is a very important quality to me in a doctor. I never once felt like he was trying to provide me with a service that I did not need. He took his time on me and nothing was rushed. I thought he did a very thorough job addressing my teeth. It felt like each tooth received the proper care it needed. People usually dread going to the dentist, but after leaving his office today, I thought it was a little funny that I was actually looking forward to coming back for another cleaning in 6 months. Definitely deserves 5 stars in my book.

Any one my friends will tell you that I’ve never been particularly fond of going to the dentist. I’ve never fully been able to trust any of my previous dentists, which explains why I never stayed at one location for very long. I’m sure many can agree that it takes a great deal of work to try and find someone you trust to not only skillfully work on your teeth, but to provide honest and transparent consultation that makes you feel that they have your best interest at heart and not just their bottom line. Dr. Gih is highly knowledgeable, informative and will always take the time to answer any questions you have during every visit. I’ve only started to go to his office, but after a few visits, I’m sold for the long run. Each visit has been turn key and smooth. His staff is kind and efficient, and he is a truly someone I feel I can rely on to give 110% and execute his work with integrity and thoughtfulness. If you’re looking for a new dentist, let me save you some time because you stumbled upon a hidden gem in Claremont.

I have been going to Dr.Gih for several years and could not recommend him more. The attentive care and patience he has is unmatched. In fact, in 2014, I moved from the Los Angeles area to San Francisco, but have continued to see Dr.Gih as my primary dentist. Go see Dr.Gih!

I’m glad I found Dr. Gih’s dental office. Dr. Gih and his staff are professional and pleasant. I was able to make an appointment the same week I called. There is plenty of parking in the back (just incase you’re running late.) The office is clean and I really liked the large open window in the exam room. It’s nice to stare outside the window instead of a plain white wall. I really like how thorough Dr. Gih is with his exam and explanation. He was very patient and able to answer all my questions. I’m definitely making Dr. Gih my primary dental office!

I just recently moved into town and was looking for a new dentist. I was referred to Dr. Gih by a friend and am glad to have found him. Him and his staff were very nice and did a great job.

Meticulous, professional, patient and gentle. From the moment you schedule your appointment with the courteous people that answer the phones, to the friendly reminder the day before your appointment, you feel welcomed even before you step into this beautiful office. Their entire staff and office feels welcoming and inviting and they make you feel as comfortable as they possibly can from the moment you step in to the moment you leave.  Dr. Gih is a dentist that works to maintain a lifelong relationship, not a one and done type deal. Of course, we can all say that our dentist is inviting, friendly and has a nice office. But, here is where the line is drawn. Dr. Gih is one of the most honest, dentist out there. I cannot tell you how many times I have referred someone to Dr. Gih to get a second opinion and they walked out of his office saving, hundreds if not thousands and become a lifelong patient.  Dr. Gih is not out to do unnecessary jobs or operations. If you don’t need it, you simply don’t need it. We truly need more practitioners like this in the industry, not those that care about their bottom line or bank account. You will get genuine opinions, not up-sells.  I cannot reiterate enough, throughout every visit I have ever had, Dr. Gih has been meticulous, patient and will frequently make sure you are comfortable. Both Dr. Gih and his staff are gentle and will never make you feel uncomfortable. These are truly nice people here and I cannot give them enough praise. Even if I ever move out of the area, I will still drive hours to come here. I have friends and family that do so, and that in itself, says a lot. I highly recommend anyone giving Dr. Gih a try, whether its for a long overdue dentist visit, or just getting a second opinion, you won’t be disappointed. They also take all types of insurance as well.  What more can you ask for, genuinely nice people, a conveniently located office, honesty, affordable if you’re paying out of pocket and lastly, accepts a variety of insurances.

The receptionist was awesome. She called the insurance for me to make sure that everything was covered before the operations (wisdom teeth extraction). She also ran outside to give me my free toothbrush, floss, and toothpaste because I left early without it. Generally, really friendly staff.

★★★★★

Dr. Gih is hands-down, the most experienced and skilled dentist whom I’ve met. I had gone through so many different dentists when I had a severe toothache. None of the other dentists could diagnose the issue. Dr. Gih was able to formulate the proper diagnosis and care regimen for my molar. No time was wasted. It’s convenient that Dr. Gih can do all restorative procedures, so that patients don’t need to be referred out for treatment. Dr. Gih is able to do crowns and endodontic treatment, which makes it much more convenient for busy folks. It’s also really reassuring that Dr. Gih first does a caries risk assessment, and he caters our treatment plan to specifically suit each individuals’ need. Even if we had to move out of the area, I’d still see Dr. Gih for any and all dental procedures. Definitely highly recommend to my friends and family.

Dr.Gih has absolutely the most gentle hands I ever felt from any dentists so far, just flawless cleaning without touching sensitive spot and cleaning was done perfect, also the filling I needed done on Couple of teeth were done painlessly as well. All the staff there are very friendly and welcoming both Alma and Sabrina they definitely do a good job ensuring top notch customer service. Overall I think I found a gem of dena office around the area. I am already looking forward to my next visit..

Are you searching for a dentist who is knowledgeable is qualified and has an office staff and dental assistants that are knowledgeable, qualified and provide stellar customer service? Then you should visit Dr. Gih’s dental office. It’s an intimate practice where you’re not waiting hours to be seen. I have been with Dr. Gih since he took over the practice from Dr. Sun and I am pleased with his work. The staff is great as previously mentioned. Also there’s plenty parking in the back if you enter off Bonita.
Visit Dr Gih and staff, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!

I was in need of a new dentist and found Dr Gih on yelp with some awesome reviews. I booked an appointment and really felt comfortable at my first visit. The receptionist/dental assistant Maria was so nice! Dr Gih was very welcoming and explained everything. Sabrina, his assistant is awesome! She made me feel very comfortable. I went back to the office for Zoom and had a great experience. My teeth are now super white!! Thank you Dr Gih and ladies for a great dental experience. I will be referring family and friends.

Dr. Gih is an approachable and conscientious dentist. Upon arriving to his office, I was embraced by a calm and friendly atmosphere. Dr. Gih did a thorough cleaning, followed by honest and frank assessments and recommendations. These character qualities have most likely been developed though his military background. I have definitely decided to trust him with my dental healthcare!

Dr. Gih is very experienced and honest. I come all the way from Las Vegas to see him every 6 months for my check ups. He’s always willing to explain what is going on in your mouth without trying to up sell you with products. The office assistant is awesome because she’s so bubbly and nice. I highly recommend Dr. Gih and he served in the military so how cool is that?!? A doctor who serves his county too!

I hate to admit it, but I’m one of those unlucky people that are more prone to cavities than your average bear.  For years I thought I was receiving the best care from another dentist, until all sorts of calamity happened. I was seeing my previous dentist very regularly to get a good amount of cavity work on, and then I had a bad root canal…  how can that even happen when I’ve been getting frequent dental work done?!  You can see by my xrays that they were doing the smaller cavities first, which was really upsetting because after reviewing my case with Dr. Gih, my suspicions were confirmed that their treatment plan was a set up for failure.  If I’m getting these small cavities fixed, why was my bigger one not addressed first?? Because they want to pass go and collect $$$ for a crown! Ugh! his treatment plan made perfect sense and I felt so relieved that my treatment plan was very fair and affordable!  He never tried to up-sell me and gave me a number of options, and I honestly felt very comfortable with him.  I could tell that he was genuinely upset with the treatment plans and prices that I was previously presented with.  When I actually got my treatments done, I found the office to be very flexible with appointments.  Dr. Gih did a great job filling my cavities and created a very comfortable crown. I found the process to be painless and the most comfortable it could be granted the nature of the procedure! With that said, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Dr. Gih.  I find him to be very smart, thorough and TRUSTWORTHY!  I give him extra points especially since he’s served overseas while in the military.  I think that hits close to home for me personally since my dad also served in the U.S. Navy, so that’s the patriot in me!Never again!

I’ve been hesitating and putting off a trip to the dentist since……… 2008!!! Needless to say, I was quite apprensive about going back to the dentist. I thought I’d need a lot of work done, and I wanted to find a dentist closer to home. (My last dentist was in Ontario, and I live in Claremont). I saw all of their yelp reviews, and decided to see for myself how many stars this place should get Dr Gih and his staff were very nice, knowledgeable, and welcoming the entire time. Dr Gih is very nice and soft spoken. He answered all my questions about the cleaning and exam. Staff is also very nice, and Maria explains how it all works out with your insurance (they take metlife for anyone looking for a dentist) I had a deep cleaning and xrays done today. They kept telling me what to expect, and even went over the right way to brush after. And yes, I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time :/ … Glad they went over that cuz when you know better, you do better 🙂 If you’re in the area and need a good dentist, make an appointment here!!!

Dr Gih is my family dentist since one years ago. I picked him because I cannot believe the straight 5 stars reviews on yelp.com. Also, it is so convenience to communicate with them via yelp. I got a reply in less than 25 minutes. On the photo that is actually how Dr. Gih is, when he is on your bedside. He is the friendliest doctor I have ever seen in my life. The dental assistants are very nice people as well. I think we are fizzy, sensitive and sometimes mean people but I never feel uncomfortable there.We have silly requests and questions all the time and Dr. Gih is always patient with us. I swear Dr. Gih seriously worries about my son’s of cavities more than I do. That is how much he cares. I have my teeth orthodontics done when I was a teenager.  So, I have visited different dentists frequently in the past. I can tell thaht Dr. Gih has faultless technique. Seldom I commented on business that I am still visiting, but I just cannot help it. Thank you! Dr. Gih!

I’ve been going to Jenny Sun and now Nicholas Gih for at least 10 years. Can’t imagine going anyplace else. Dr. Gih put in a crown not long ago and the experience went smoothly. Very conscientious man. Kim is my all time favorite hygienist. She works hard at her job and knows so much. She also catches issues before they become a problem. First rate.

Alexis A. from Pomona, CA (Source: Yelp)

Let me start off by saying Dr. Gih is amazing. Traumatic experiences in the past had me avoiding the dentist for years! Other dentist offices felt so unwelcoming, and always seemed like the staff were pressured to churn out patients as fast as possible with little regard to their quality of work. This is not the case with Dr Gih. You are greeted with a smile as soon as you walk into his office. His staff is always professional and courteous. I can tell that they all love working here and have a genuine enthusiasm for helping their patients feel their best. I went in for a deep teeth cleaning and explained to Dr. Gih why I was so fearful/avoidant of the dentist. He was so patient with me, answered all my questions, and made sure to thoroughly explain what he would perform that day. He clearly outlines what procedures he feels you need to get done, but leaves it up to the patient to decide what procedures they can afford. Of course he will tell you which are medically necessary, but this definitely took the pressure off of me as I have had past dentists try to upsell unnecessary procedures. As for the teeth cleaning, it was amazing! Since I avoided the dentist for so long, I had years of tartar that needed to be taken care of. Dr. Gih was so meticulous in his work. My mouth feels and looks great! After the final portion of my teeth cleaning, I decided on a whim to get whitening. I wish I had a before and after picture, because my teeth literally whitened 5 shades! I can honestly say that I am no longer afraid of the dentist. I actually look forward to coming here! Thank you Dr. Gih and staff!!!
