PATIENT REVIEWS

I love this office!!! Dr. Ho and his staff are amazing! They always make you feel welcome. Dr. Ho is very caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. He is the best dentist I have ever seen. He takes his time to listen to all your concerns, and is very informative. During all the procedures I’ve had (cleaning, onlay, bone surgery, and crown) he and his wonderful assistant Crystal always made sure I was pain-free and comfortable. The plan of care is explained in detail, and they even have affordable financing plans. The office is not just beautiful and clean, but it’s equipped with modern equipment. I do an hour drive and even had to change my insurance in order to see Dr. Ho, but it’s definitely worth it!!! I’ve worked as an office manager for a medical office for many years, and I can honestly say this office provides exceptional service. I highly recommend Dr. Ho and his staff for all your dental needs. Thank you Dr. Ho, Crystal, Melinda, and Alicia for the excellent services you have provided me with. 🙂

Dr. Ho has been our family dentist for about two decades now. As far as experience goes, this is what you need to know… Office is clean, it is modern, and it has a very relaxing atmosphere. His staff is always friendly, courteous, and respectful. As for Dr. Ho himself, in a nutshell, he’s AWESOME! Every time you see him, he’s always smiling, optimistic, and full of positive energy. As a dentist, he’s been exemplary! He’s always provided complete and honest feedback, detailed out any of the options if and where needed, and helped in the decision making process on what’s best for you. He’s very thorough in his work and the work showcases itself via the daily smiles! We’ve never had issues with any of the work performed; and he has always stood by his work. All in all… A+.

Dr. Ivan Ho has been my family dentist for the past 5 years and always exceeds my expectations. His staff is phenomenal and they care about you. If you’re looking for a new dentist, look no further, Dr. Ho is the man!

Dr. Ho is the most amazing dentist. He’s kind and conservative. There is no high-pressure selling. He’s truly concerned about your dental health. He will be our dentist for life. We love him and his amazing staff.

It has been such a blessing to call Dr. Ho my dentist for many years. It is one of the very few dental offices I can visit for my treatments knowing that I will have a pleasant experience. I think of his office staff as family because they are so wonderful and warm and so happy to see me every time I come in the door. Dr. Ho is the most talented dentist anywhere. He is knowledgeable in All Phases of Dentistry. Being treated by Dr. Ho will definitely give you as it does me a pain-free experience. I always leave his office knowing that my dental care is the best possible His office practices gentle Dentistry. Trust me, you will love this office for all your dental needs.

Had a cleaning and wisdom teeth extraction with doctor ho and his assistants. As I walked in for the first time I noticed a clean and friendly environment. Staff were extremely friendly and greeted me with a comforting welcome. Doctor Ho did such an amazing job throughout the procedure. I also noticed how serious he takes his profession as he walks me through his plan, engaging in a conversation with him is easy. His charisma and kind gestures make him a winsome doctor, not to mention he did a phenomenal job on my teeth and because of that I actually look forward to my appointments. No doubt I will continue building a firm relationship with doctor Ho. And his team. They really did take care of me.

Platinum Dental goes above and beyond when it comes to their clients. I started off scared and almost in tears in the lobby and by the time I was in the chair I was laughing and ready!! The staff is wonderful and friendly and very willing to answer questions. Dr. Ho is one of the nicest people I have met and always makes sure his clients are comfortable and taken care of. I highly recommend him!

I’ve been a patient of this office for over 10 years. I moved to Huntington Beach over a year ago but still travel to RSM to see Alicia for my cleanings and Dr Ho for everything else.
Alicia is amazingly gentle, efficient and so incredibly sweet. You can’t help feeling relaxed and comfortable, even if you have an aversion to going to the dentist.
Dr Ho has an extremely gentle hand and I’m always comfortable with his assessment of what work I need to have done.

Dr. Ho is an amazing dentist. His manners are exceptional and the work he does is definitely not the work of your average dentist. (…) I recommend everyone going there. The office is beautiful, I mean BEAUTIFUL and the staff are so helpful and super friendly. Dr. Ho does not try to sell you things you don’t need. He always gives an ideal treatment plan to his patients, meaning it’s ideal to do what he recommends but he also always gives an alternative plan! So go see for yourself what an amazing dentist he is!!!!

(…) I had a previous RCT(root canal) procedure that went wrong. Long story short, they left a nerve in and it got infected, which then created an abscess that caused a huge infection. I called Malinda on Monday to schedule an appt with Dr. Ho but he was so booked that I couldn’t schedule til Thursday. I normally try to tough out pain anyway so I didn’t mind. However, that plan backfired on me and by Tuesday at work, every step I took sent a throbbing and sharp pain to my jaw as if my mouth had its own heartbeat. Needless to say, my tooth was completely on fire and I was so miserable!!! I called Malinda once and talked to her about my situation and how I honestly wanted to cry at work because I was hurting so much. She told me she will call me back in thirty minutes and I kid you not, she did! She honestly made miracles happen for me because she got me in with an appt with Dr. Ho first thing the next day!

Which brings me to the fantastic Dr. Ho! He is just the nicest dentist you will ever meet! He is so compassionate and caring that while I was in so much pain Monday, he responded to my messages even after hours! I was so overwhelmed by how much he wanted to make sure my pain was relieved! That meant so much to me! Not to mention how he squeezed his schedule to make room for a one hour extraction/bone graft procedure that was done to relieve me of my ridiculous toothache! I was anxious but he and Crystal made the procedure so much more tolerable, and I did not feel a thing! (At least not while I was under anesthesia!). Dr. Ho made sure that even at the slightest discomfort, he gave me more anesthetic to make me as comfortable as possible followed by pain management that was adjusted to my needs.

I’m the biggest baby when it comes to pain, especially my teeth because I have had an RCT done without anesthesia, no fun! But honestly, post-op Day 3 and I’ve already survived two twelve-hour work shifts with tolerable pain! That’s ought to say something! Everyone did such an amazing job, I absolutely love them! I know now that I’m in good hands whenever I need to visit my dentist and I trust that they will take care of me. No question about it, I recommend Platinum Dental to anyone!

I have been going to Dr Ho for approximately 23 years. He has always been very professional and caring. I have implants, veneers and crowns, all done by Dr Ho. I wouldn’t go to any other dentist. If you want excellent work and truly care about keeping your teeth go see Dr Ho at Platinum Dental in Rancho Santa Margarita.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ho for over 10 years. I trust him. My visits are always pleasant. I never feel pressured to utilizing services that are not necessarily. If finances are an issue he understands and works on a maintenance plan with me until I can afford the procedures. He truly has this patient best interest at heart. Alicia is my dental hygienist. She is quick and gentle with her hands. She always welcomes me with a big smile.

Dr. Ho and his staff get an A+. They are all very considerate to you and will do anything to make you comfortable. Dr. Ho is careful and always wants to make sure that you are ok. The quality of his work is Outstanding!!!  From the minute you walk into the office until you leave, everyone is very friendly and always willing to help. (…)

(…) And what can I say about Dr. Ho?  Well, for my money (and luckily my insurance ensures that I don’t have to use too much of it) he is hands down the BEST dentist I’ve ever had the privilege to go to.  He does his very best at making sure you are comfortable and well informed about what he’s doing, when he’s doing it.  He’s very good at minimizing uncomfortable procedures by working quickly and efficiently and providing constant breaks in the action to help you stay at ease.  He explains everything to you in a way that ensures you understand what is going on and you feel better informed about whatever you need done.  And if you’re wondering how he is with kids, well, I have three (ages 12, 10 & 9) and they all love him.  If anything, I think he’s better with kids than with adults.
Overall, I highly recommend going to Platinum Dental for the best dental experience around.
Dr. Ho and his staff are simply the best.

Thanks to Dr, Ivan Ho at Platinum Dental, I feel good now when I have to see a dentist who is very Professional, his calm demeanor, his big smile, incredible kindness, besides been and amazing professional makes him the best dentist, and his team starting with Melissa at the front office always welcoming with a great smile as well as his technicians, over the years I had to deal with other offices, never found caring professionals like the ones at PLATINUM DENTAL… PRICELESS!!!!

I have been with Platinum Dental for around 10 years now, and they have had nothing short of exceptional service. They are always professional and accommodating. I would definitely recommend them!

Platinum is the most amazing dental experience you will ever have. Dr. Ho, Melinda & Alicia are so personable & make every visit enjoyable. I always look forward to my dentist visits, most people can’t say that. Dr. Ho has not only replied to my texts on weekends when I had a dental emergency, he met me in the office on a Saturday. My sons & I have been coming here for years. Platinum is truly a level above the rest.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Ho for my dental work for years. Dr. Ho and his staff are absolutely amazing!  Each and every one of them always go the extra mile for their patients. Dr. Ho is very meticulous with his work. If it’s not right, he doesn’t stop until it’s perfect!!  Not to mention he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet. His staff of professionals are experts at their work and they have fun doing it!  From Melinda at the front desk to Crystal assisting in the back, they are all amazing!  It’s actually “fun” to go to the dentist!  Even my 11 year old daughter loves sitting in the dentist chair!  If you’re looking for a dentist, don’t look any farther. Go with Dr. Ho

Dr Ho has been my dentist for over 10 years. He and his staff are always kind and caring. I actually have fun going to the dentist, which I know sounds odd. My teeth and gums are in great shape thanks to Platinum dental.

Dr. Ho at platinum dental helped create a smile I’m proud to showcase! He and his staff have made every visit pleasant and comfortable! The office is clean, modern, and very relaxing! Dr. Ho has a welcoming, caring, and outgoing personality that melts away any “dentist fears” one might have. He’s very thorough in his work and takes the time to really explain the work he is doing in my mouth so I feel more knowledgeable and at ease. I can tell he really cares about his patients and is proud to be a dentist. I would highly recommend my dentist to everyone, especially those who want an enjoyable experience each and every visit.

Dr. Ho has been my dentist for years and every time I’ve come I’ve had a great experience. Everyone who works here is super welcoming and answers any questions you have. You can tell they care about their patients and want the best for your health. Definitely recommend!

The staff is courteous and knowledgeable. Dr Ho is efficient, fast and extraordinarily skilled. I always have complete confidence in his judgment and work. I have been his patient for decades and have been impressed as his knowledge base continues to evolve with the newest technologies. His use of regional pain elimination includes an uncanny ability to inject without any transitional discomfort. I heartily recommend his services to family, friends and anyone else seeking excellent dental health care. Invariably, they have thanked me for the recommendation, and he becomes their long-term source for excellent dental health care.

Dr. Ho is providing me with Invisalign.  I am 3/4 of the way done and I love my smile.  I had straight teeth as a kid and smoking ruined my smile.  Now I grin all the time and I am not finished.  I am in my 50’s and I had braces as a kid.  This is much more comfortable and my friends don’t even know that I am wearing braces.
Thanks Dr. Ho.

Dr Ho is an amazing dentist and I can’t say enough about Crystal, Malinda and the rest of the staff. Alicia is a superb dental hygienist. She is warm, caring and efficient. Wouldn’t want anyone else to clean my teeth. They feel like family. Been going to Dr Ho for years and plan on continuing as long as he is in practice.

This office has provided very professional care with the highest expertise, I am so thankful for Dr. Ho and Staff who have improved dental hygiene health and save me from further tooth loss, I am very happy with the results. I am a work in progress. Thanks Dr. Ho and staff.

Platinum Dental is the best and Dr. Ho is incredible!! He did my veneers and I am in love with them!! I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to have outstanding dental work done. 10/10 and his office staff is very friendly too!

Not only is Dr. Ho wonderful himself, but he has an amazing team of dedicated and hard-working individuals!! They are absolutely wonderful!!  I feel at home while at this dentistry. I would absolutely recommend this dental office to anyone!

(…) Last week, my daughter woke up with her entire face and lips swollen from a toothache that started 2 days prior (looked like elephantitis of the face!!!).  It was 6 am and she was in such excruciating pain and we needed help immediately!!  We contacted our current dentist just to find out that they didn’t open until later and didn’t have any emergency contact numbers.  I remembered from our many years with Dr. Ho that he always offered his cell number for emergencies.  Sure enough at 6:30 am Dr. Ho was answering his phone and there to help us!  Although he was on his way out of town on vacation, he made a special trip into the office for an emergency visit, with one of his hygienists there to meet us, and managed my daughter’s problem immediately.  As if that wasn’t enough to be so thankful for, he checked in with her daily while on vacation, and made sure we had an appointment immediately upon his return to finalize my daughter’s problem.  It was a tricky problem that Dr. Ho handled for my daughter and I can’t tell you how much I appreciated knowing that she was under his care, all while making the entire experience extremely affordable considering I couldn’t use my dental insurance.  Thank you doesn’t say enough Dr. Ho.
