PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr Lee is overall a great dentist. He is knowledgeable , patient,  professional, and most importantly honest. He fixed a bad cavity on my front tooth; and now looking at it, you wouldn’t have known that there is a cavity right in the side of my front tooth! No complications with that procedure. He has gentle hands. His routine examinations are detailed and provides patient teaching. He is very professional. Doesn’t offer unnecessary treatments/procedures. Seems like he genuinely wants to help and enjoys his work. I give him all 5 stars! Thanks for your great work Dr. Lee! I will see you in 6 months for a routine cleaning 🙂

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lee’s office for the past 5-6 years and have nothing but positive things to say his staff and Dr Lee are amazing. They are attentive, polite and go above and beyond for you as a patient, Dr Lee always takes his time to answer all your questions and concerns he is very knowledgeable and i love how he explains everything. Alma is the best, she keeps you in mind if there are any cancellations to try and accommodate you, she is the BEST.

So I am TERRIFIED of the dentist. Going to the dentist has always been a problem for me due to the fear and unpleasant prior experiences. I let Dr. Lee know and he was extremely patient with me. Walked me through what he was doing so I would remain calm and it wasn’t as bad as I expected. Definitely keeping him as my primary dentist. I’m not over my fear of the dentist, but he and his staff really helped put me as ease throughout the procedure (removing a crown from a prior root canal which was retreated and fitting for a permanent)

My entire family has been seeing Dr Lee for 5+ years…even through my 2nd pregnancy and we’re incredibly satisfied. Also to note my husband is incredibly picky with Dentists and won’t see anyone other than Dr Lee. Simple, good, straightforward dentistry, no hype or gimmicks, just really really good ‘teeth’ care!!

I always show up 10-15 minutes before my appointment and always get called in before my appointment. The doctor comes in right after we go into the room. Checks my daughters teeth and lets me know if she has loose teeth and or if she has new teeth coming in. This time we did x-rays but was very fast. Less than 10 minutes. Then they cleaned my daughters teeth and that was it. I left within 20 minutes of being there. Was able to schedule my next appointment and have the option for a phone call or text for a reminder. After every appointment my daughter is able to pick a toy from their treasure box. Everyone there is very friendly and good with my daughter. They always explain to her what they will be doing before they do anything

My daughter recently had some teeth issues and I called Dr. Lee’s office for the earliest appointment since he takes my insurance here. Super happy they were able to book me for the end of the week I cleared my schedule that morning for my daughter. Inside was very clean…it looked like any ordinary dental office. What’s even better… there’s netflix so my daughter wasn’t bored during her wait. Although it did take some time to see the doctor…I’m just happy he saw her and was able to help. Coming in the first time…I told Dr. Lee about what I noticed about my daughters teeth and my concerns. He took x-rays, they cleaned her teeth and told me I had to book for the earliest available appointment another day to put crowns on her. I was able to get her in a few days after..I think her first appointment was on a wed or fri and the second appointment was on a monday or tuesday. I was warned ahead of time because she’s so young that if she doesn’t cooperate, he would have to refer me to children’s dentist to get the work done. Noted. On my second visit here…everything was done smoothly. Knowing shes very young and only her second time at the dentist, they even put on My Little Pony for her to keep her calm. I’m extremely proud of my little one sitting through an hour of everything. Dr. Lee did the best he could for her and I am extremely greatful he was able to get everything done without having to refer us else where. I highly recommend this place to anyone who’s looking for a dentist. Thank you again Dr. Lee!!! Yelp Review 2017 Challenge 83/100

Dr. Lee is the best! Dr. Lee and his staff never try to add or push extra treatments nor tries to benefit from a false diagnosis like other dentist do to their patients. Dr. Lee is straightforward, honest and he explains what’s wrong and what needs to be done. If you’re looking for great, honest, friendly dentist and staff Dr. Lee’s office is the place for you.

Dr. Richard Lee amazes me every time we go! My 10 year old son is not even anxious when we have our appointments, even though I am expecting the worse when we go. Still cavity free and have yet to get any unnecessary extractions. Dr. Lee always knows best. Sure enough after that appointment in the afternoon he lost another baby tooth on his own. No traumatic experience at the dentist office. Wonderful work, honest doctor!

Hate, HATE, hate going to the Dentist! A toothache over weekend forced me to seek help. I drove by this place made a U-turn and came back. Alma at the front desk was very understanding about my financial state and she gave me a quote and an appointment a few hours later. Dr. Lee was very friendly and understood my financial concerns, he did not try to sell me a root canal! Thank God! Rather he said an extraction was best and an hour later I was minus the pain, minus a tooth, and I get my stitch/es out in 5 days. Very pleased with everything. Closest cross street is Albia/Paramount.

I got a cleaning and a filling replaced here and Dr. Lee is pretty thorough compared to other dentists I’ve been to.  He even gives each tooth/gum a number and lets you know if your gums are receding, among other things.  I’ve been cycling through dentists because 1) they give you procedures that aren’t included on insurance and they don’t bother to tell you, or 2) it seems like they just don’t care. Dr. Lee cares and he shows it by being very thorough; he takes the time to answer all of your questions (I had plenty) and he gets really technical but he can explain things in layman terms too.  I live in the Westside and he’s worth the drive all the way to Downey.   By the way, I am not sure why yelp shows cross streets, but Dr. Lee’s Dental Office’s address is:  12119 Paramount Blvd., Downey, CA 90241

I’ve always been beyond satisfied with the quality of work done by Dr. Lee. He goes above and beyond to make the patient comfortable and relaxed, and I say this as someone who deals with chronic neurological pain, so I have enough pain to deal with. Having options for pain management at the dentist office makes the visits a little easier.

I have been experiencing pain in my lower left area for about two months now. I went to three different dentists who couldn’t find anything. They provided antibiotics and nothing more. I went to Dr. Lee. He cleaned the area up, treated it and the pain is already subsiding. He also referred me to an oral surgeon for a follow up. I highly recommend!

Richard F. Lee is a Great Dentist. My family and me agree on this! I also recommend my sister. He is very conscious of his work. You do not find them that easy. Him and the assistants, Alma Secretary in reception Great experience all the time. Thank you all !

My experience with Dr. Lee was absolutely excellent. I was referred by my mother who has praised Dr. Lee’s dental services and skills for years. I found Dr. Lee to be compassionate and caring and my examination was thorough and methodical. Dr. performed a route canal that was completely painless with no discomfort. I have had route canals in the past but this one was phenomenal! Dr. Lee has a skilled and gentle hand, and I am so grateful for his experienced dental skills. Also, when he replaced a couple of old fillings the procedures were painless. Thank you, Dr. Lee!

Dr. Richard Lee is Awesome together with his staff. After bouncing from Dentist to Dentist around our City.  We finally found Dr. Lee and since then him and his staff have been taking care of my family for a long time.  They are very Professional and organized, even my older son who studies in Seattle schedules his appointments with Dr. Lee when he is in town. Alma manages to accommodate him. All my family are very happy with their services. My husband and me have recommended Dr. Lee to friends and family no one has any bad comments or reviews about him or his staff Dr. Lee you are a True Professional. Thank You for your services we are looking forward to see you for many more years.  

Once again, an exceptional and thorough visit. Digital X-rays, waited only 5 minutes to be seen, dentist personally does a very comprehensive exam for gingivitis, tooth decay, check of past filling, then scraps teeth of tartar. Dental hygienist does a great job of cleaning and polishing teeth. I also received a fluoride polish treatment to keep teeth strong and help with gingivitis. Dr. Lee is an excellent listener and expertly explains in plain English the condition, specific steps to improve oral health, and even provides thank you gifts to make sure one commits to proper oral hygiene habits

Exceptional experience from making the appointment till the moment I left. Dr. Lee and his staff, Maria especially, are unbelievable. The time they took to get to know me, my past dental history, my future travel plans and even my fears moving forward, made me feel like family. I have never been a fan of the dentist, but after meeting dr. Lee, I will never go anywhere else. The procedure his did was painless and I actually look forward to going to see him again. He not was so fair and priced so compete with, he let me make payments and didn’t take advantage or the fact I had no insurance and put the long term health and solutions for my teeth before price. I am in love with this dentist! You would not be disappointed

I just went on Saturday and they are still amazing. I love the fact that even during the whole COVID-19 thing they prioritize safety. They are so attentive since they take the time to listen and answer any questions you may have. When needing to make another appointment they really do try their best to accommodate you. I will be going again to get my final pair of wisdom teeth removed with them since I know that they will be as attentive as always. Love you guys!

Great service, I had an early appt. at 9am and was called in rather quick. The assistant and the receptionist both showed signs of wanting to help me out with information and the procedures, Dr. lee was very professional and straight forward with the information needed. This was my first visit and I was not disappointed in the service or manner the patients are treated. Going back again for another procedure!

Dr. Lee is the best, I had my wisdom tooth pulled on a Monday he explains everything so well and he is so gentle the extraction did not hurt. I was in so much pain on Friday due to the extraction and I called to see if he would see me after I got off from work. The office closes at 6, I got there at 5:40pm and he still took me in. He is absolutely the best Dentist and I recommend him to everyone.

A++++++ !  Kids and adults! Dr. Richard Lee and team are superb!  Their offices are an hour away…worth the drive every time!  Attention to detail, treat patients with care, really knows what they’re doing!  My previous dentist was only minutes away, but pales in comparison to Dr. Richard Lee!  Glad to have found him!  Excellent with kids!  My daughter loves going to the dentist now!! Been customer for past 3 years…again…worth the drive!

Dr Lee has been my dentist for about 6 years.  I am  not sure what took me so long to write a review.  I used to dread the dentist before dr lee.   Now i can honestly say when i go to the dentist its relaxing . HE IS AMAZING….Maria is a wonderful assistant and awesome at her work too. Alma always greets you with a smile. Today dr Lee gave me back a beautiful smile after another dentist had done horrible cosmetic work on my 2 front teeth. Dr Lee made my teeth all look great gave me back my confidence to smile and just in time since tomorrow we go to take our family pic..

Saw the reviews on yelp and was referred from brace connection Downey, CA right across the street. My first cleaning and exam with Dr. Lee went very smooth. He is no doubt one of the best dentists I’ve seen. Very hands on and knowledgeable. Explained recommendations thoroughly, all of which I had already known would need to be done. When they take your x-rays, there’s no wait time. He made it painless, very caring, and gentle. I had to drive several miles since I was coming back from vacation for his office but couldn’t see risking my mouth and comfort with any other dentist or even the same dentist I go to. I was out in 38 minutes. Glad I finally found a great dentist in la!

Wonderful caring staff. Works with you through each step of the dental process. They really try to care about you as a person, not a commodity. Many thanks for all you do!

Dr. Lee gave me wonderful service . I got to my appointment a little early, but I didn’t have to wait very long . I received a confirmation of my appointment, and a reminder text message! He did a thorough exam and I received a great gift for being a new patient. The best part is that he listened to my concerns. He has a very professional staff. Parking is also available .

I’m TERRIFIED of the dentist. But I went in yesterday and although I was extremely nervous, Dr. Lee was very patient with me and made sure to take things slow enough for me to calm down. It was not as bad as I expected and I will continue going to him for my dental needs.
