PATIENT REVIEWS

I’d give him 10 stars if could. My 2 daughters had unique tooth problems which required a high skilled professional treatment including oral surgery.  I had several consultants by other orthodontists and they weren’t confident or thought it was impossible to treat. However, Dr. Lee didn’t have any doubt or hesitation to take my daughters. He even had prior experience dealing with similar cases as my daughters. He informed us very thoroughly of the risks and possibilities of outcomes. One daughter was successfully fixed    in 3.5 years with one oral surgery. But my other daughter had a special case that lasted almost 6 years including 5 oral surgeries. During that long period of time, my daughter and I just wanted to give up but Dr. Lee didn’t want to waste the time and pain she had and gave us the hope to continue. He understood the pain and difficulty that my daughter had to experience and felt bad even though it wasnt his fault. I was surprised that he was only concerned about the completion of my daughter’s treatments and not about the pay he would gain. My second daughter finally removed her braces that she had for almost 6 years and she is so happy that it was successfully completed.

Dr. Lee is honestly the best around! He pays such close attention to detail and attends to corrections you want made. I got Invisalign and I love my results! He made the process so easy and convenient, I would recommend this office to anyone because Dr. Lee really knows what he is doing, and is extremely talented and passionate about orthodontics.

I was referred to Dr. Lee a few years back. I came in for a free consultation where the whole process was explained to me in clear terms. Shortly after I had my braces put on. After having my braces removed about 2 years later, I was extremely pleased with the results. I found his entire staff to be very friendly and professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee for your orthodontic needs.

Dr Lee is wonderful! My daughter was in 5th grade when her teeth was sticking out everywhere. She was so embarrassed that she did not even dare to smile. We went to several orthodontists who said she either has to wait for several yrs, or do 2 sets of braces. Then we visited Dr Lee, and he said if she has low self esteem bc of her teeth, we need to do the permanent braces now. At 1st I was doubtful about that, bc the other 2 drs told me otherwise, and I told Dr Lee about it. He said that there are multiple ways to scale a mtn, and you can still get to the summit differently. And he was right!! He did a perfect job on my daughter’s teeth! And she is now 21, still perfect teeth! I am so glad I took my daughter to him when she was in elementary school, and he put braces on her right away, and she has perfect teeth ever since! And Gloria the office manager is great also. So so happy with her teeth!

Dr. Lee fixed my teeth! He was attentive, cautious and a perfectionist while I had braces… I thoroughly enjoyed my visits to his office, especially since Melinda (especially!), Juana and Gloria are all terrific and kind. I had complicating teeth that needed two implants, impacted wisdom teeth removed and two crowns put in while I had braces, and he worked around and with the other dentists… I am beyond thankful for his affordable prices, since I had so little money to work with, on so many complicating procedures! Definitely choose him as your orthodontist: his education backs him up, but his phenomenal customer service keeps you going (especially me, since I still go often, so he can help me with my retainer!) He truly cares for the patients… He and his practice inspired me so much to take care of my teeth, I am now going to school to become a dental hygienist! He was one of the first people I told! If you have any questions regarding Dr. Lee, do not hesitate to reach out to me.

Have been going to see Dr. Lee and everyone for almost ten years and have always been treated very well. Very friendly and allow you to make informed decisions with regards to your dental health. During COVID they have maintained the same quality while making sure to be as safe as possible. Highly recommend!

I have been a patient of Dr. Steve Lee’s for almost two years, and I must say, he is one of the best by far. Not only is he knowledgeable in dentistry, he has a great bedside manner and his office staff is very professional and friendly.  Dr. Steve Lee is dedicated to his art of orthodontics and I am extremely pleased with my final results!!!  I love being complimented on my smile almost everywhere I go, and I owe it all to him!!!! His office is conveniently located in Placentia, and he also has another office in Diamond Bar. I have a busy schedule and his staff has always been able to accommodate my needs. I am not sure what the other review was stating with only one star, I have never waited longer then 5 minutes,( I have waited close to hours when visiting with my child’s pediatrician, so what is a long waiting time 10 min. ???) and I have always received the best standard of care, ( above really).  Dr. Steve Lee is a pioneer in his industry, and cares about his patients, and so does his staff!!!!! Thank you Dr. Steve Lee and staff for my new beautiful smile!!!!!!!!!! P.S. In regards to the other review, retainers are not made by Dr. Steve Lee, nor any of his staff members. Retainers are sent out of office to an off site dental appliance lab, not owned by the dentist, all orthodontists practice this standard, I know this because a friend of mine works for a lab of such matter. Obviously, some people know very little or nothing about certain fields. I am a second time ortho patient, (my first Dr. retired), and my previous retainers were made the same way and out of the same material my current ones are made of.  IF YOUR RETAINER OR YOUR CHILD’S RETAINER BREAKS, CHANCES ARE YOU ARE CARELESS!!!!   THESE THINGS ARE MADE OUT OF PLASTIC ( ON THE THINNER SIDE) FOR YOUR COMFORT, THEY ARE NOT MADE TO SUSTAIN VIGOROUS MISHANDLING. Obviously, the ” Extremely Poor Quality Retainers” line, does not entitle patients to no charge replacements, therefore, it is human nature to complain. Once again, I love my teeth, and I owe it to Dr. Lee!

I got my braces done with Dr. Steve Lee and I am very happy with the result.  My teeth are all straightened and look great.  I referred my friends to Dr. Steve Lee and they are very satisfied with his work as well.  Dr. Steve Lee is dedicated and exceptionally great with his work. I highly recommand him if you looking for a great orthodontist.

Thank you doctor Lee for the incredible smile you created for me.   Doctor Lee and his associates worked on my smile, taking a difficult situation with spaces around an existing implant. This is my second time around with braces at 47 years old and could not be happier with the result.  I am not the only one he created a perfect smile for….  my son also came out with perfect teeth.  I have referred Doctor Lee and his staff to multiple people with several currently being worked on. Anyone feel free to contact me if you have any questions.  Doctor Lee is the best and you will not be disappointed.

Dr. Lee and his staff are incredibly friendly and accommodating. I’ve been coming for close to two and a half years and now I’m going to miss having monthly appointments. I had to opt with metal braces but the staff was kind enough to answer all my questions (I had quite a few) regarding rubber band colors and which colors wouldn’t absorb food colors and look more subtle. This was really important to me because I was a bit shy about getting braces after graduating college when everyone else had blown through the braces phase in middle school. Dr. Lee’s office also boasts festive spirit with different decorations for every month. Everyone celebrates the client’s braces removal with a congratulatory gift bag filled with goodies that I had to refrain from during my period with braces. The team sincerely cares about every part of their clients’ experience from decor to consultations and even care packages. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who desires a beautiful smile because your journey to perfect teeth will be accompanied by a friendly, professional team.

Dr. Steve Lee simply delivers the most comprehensive, thorough, professional, and caring service.  All three of my girls and myself have all been serviced by Dr. Lee and his professional staff.  We ALL love the results and the process was pleasant. His staff is excellent!  They really know what they are doing and I strongly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone who is thinking about getting their teeth straightened for a beautiful smile or for the longevity and health of your teeth. Thanks to Dr. Lee, we have the best of both worlds! I highly recommend Dr. Lee and his wonderful staff.

The level of customer service here is top notch, they will go all out for you no matter what. I’ve been coming for years here, even after I took my braces off, can you believe I? The coolest guy in High school had braces ladies & Gents, yes it’s true, we are human too, hehe ! If I could recommend anyone in the world it would be this place.

My family has been coming to this ortho for YEARS. Although the wait can be insane sometimes, it’s worth it because they take really good care of you and the end product is beautiful. If you have a really busy schedule or you live really far, they try to accommodate you to your schedule as best as they can. The staff are all so nice. Dr. Lee is very good at what he does. He takes his job very seriously but is also a great conversationalist. Invest in him. 2 thumbs up.

Dr. Steve Lee and his staff are the best in the specialty of orthodontics. Their professionalism, friendliness and amazing service in treatment has brought us back years later. My wife and I both got our braces through Dr. Lee in our youth and now we find ourselves back with our 3 kids.

Dr. Lee is in a league of his own. Never have I been to such a passionate, kind, understanding and attentive Dr. Dr. Lee truly cares about his patients and it shows in his amazing work. Staff is equally as amazing and completely on top of your needs. I am 31 years old and never thought that a team could make having braces as an adult such an awesome experience. I was sad to see the braces go as that meant I would not see them as often. Recommended for all ages and people! You’ll go in and come out a huge fan of this office!!!  Larrah P aka their favorite patient.

Dr. Lee is such an amazing and caring Orthodontist. I went to several different orthodontists who only cared about how much was going into their pockets rather than being concerned with the best option for my teeth. Dr. Lee immediately told me at my consult how he wanted to prevent further damage to my gums, putting them into priority, and told me what was my best option. That sold me right there. He was the only one who put my gums top priority. I scheduled my first appointment the very next week and paid in full for my Invisalign and haven’t regretted it since. He has a great office staff and I look forward to every appointment. You’ll be in great hands if you choose Dr. Lee.

Dr. Lee has put braces on all three of my children and many people have complimented how beautiful their teeth are.  I love seeing the confidence of my children knowing they aren’t embarrassed to smile anymore thanks to Dr. Lee.  Gloria who works in the front office is the nicest person ever and is always willing to work with you in any way.  They are so flexible.  I highly recommend this orthodontist for his years of expertise and amazing work.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for 14 years (since I was in third grade.) After two sets of braces, an expander, and multiple lost retainers, he still wants to help me have the straightest teeth I can. He is always patient and reassuring, and his staff are so friendly. I would highly recommend Dr. Lee!

Doctor Lee and the staff are super nice professional and supportive. They listen to you and try their best to meet your needs. I had a wedding coming, he wanted me look nice on my wedding so he took my braces off for my wedding then put them back afterwards. It is a lot effort but they willing to do that. And there are couple times, I missed my appointments because of work, they were super understandable to let me schedule another one. Now I took my braces off and my teeth looks great!

I go to Dr. Steve Lee’s office in Diamond Bar, but I’m leaving this rating & comment here too because it’s the same doctor. I just got my braces about a month ago from Dr.Lee. My sister got braces from him as well several years ago. Our dentist had recommended us to go see Dr.Lee. I think Dr. Lee is probably the best orthodontist you can find in the area. The reason is simply because I think my sister’s teeth turned out to be nearly perfect after getting braces from Dr.Lee. I’m not exaggerating but she gets compliments on her teeth wherever she goes. Also I can tell he truly cares for his patients and tries his best to make the prettiest teeth/smile for you. I can also tell that he really enjoys his work and finds joy in helping people become brighter. But most importantly, I think Dr.Lee is super smart and well-experienced in the field. He spotted my cavities that my dentist couldn’t spot. He double made sure that all my teeth were healthy and clean when his job is really just to give me braces. I really recommend Dr. Steve Lee.

I have been a patient of Dr. Steve Lee’s , and I must say, he is one of the best by far. Not only is he knowledgeable in dentistry, he has a great bedside manner and his office staff is very professional and friendly. Dr. Steve Lee is dedicated to his art of orthodontics and I am extremely pleased with my final results!!! I love being complimented on my smile almost everywhere I go, and I owe it all to him!!!!
His office is conveniently located in Placentia, and he also has another office in Diamond Bar. I have a busy schedule and his staff has always been able to accommodate my needs. Gloria, the Office manager, is amazing. She is dedicated, efficient and very knowledgeable, but most of all has optimal customer service skills. Dr. Lee has always delivered the best standard of care, ( above really). He is a pioneer in his industry, and cares about his patients, and so does his staff!!!!! There are many ortho’s out there, and many treat their patients as cattle. Dr. Lee takes his time and addresses any concerns that you may have with respect and care. He is a stickler on perfection, so don’t ask him when your braces are coming off, chances are, he will not respond. They will come off when they are ready to come off. I couldn’t be happier. Thank you Dr. Steve Lee and staff for my new beautiful smile!!!!!!!!

I am a patient of Dr. Steve Lee, and I could not be happier with his care and beautiful results. I am a dentist who has been practicing for over 23 years. After many years of not wearing my retainers, my teeth had shifted significantly. I went to my orthodontist and he said that in order to fix my crowding, tooth removal was necessary. I was not too happy about the potential of losing teeth at the age of 50. I was referred to Dr.Steve Lee by a fellow dentist. After 2 years of treatment, I could not be happier with the final results. He gave me a wonderful smile without tooth extraction. If you are looking for a top quality orthodontist, Dr.Steve Lee is the one to see. I highly recommend him.

had taken my daughter to 6 other orthodontist for consultations before coming to Dr. Lee’s office. This 9 yrs old did not like any of them until we came here. She did not want to go anywhere else after  b/c she liked Dr. Lee so much. She’s probably been the only kid at this practice who really really loved going to the ortho. After she was almost done, I decided to get braces too. I’m happy with my results and people I haven’t seen in a while tell me how great my teeth look! Our experience here has been really wonderful and the staff is great. Anytime I’m asked which ortho we went to, I always recommend Dr. Lee!

A great place to call a second home for your teeth! The staff is very welcoming and friendly! Legendary service! They find new ways to keep their patients and families health, happy, and entertained! My son has  a new smile in progress and look forward to the teams hard work in making, his perfect smile. Thank You.

My daughter started seeing Dr. Lee and now my son and I are patients.  The office staff are amazing (Gloria, Melinda and Juana).   It was a long process and very excited that I am transitioning to retainers.  Dr. Lee is passionate about his practice!  I thank the whole office for their help in getting me through braces.

I’ve worked in the dental field for quite some time now and I know quality and care when I see it. This doctor is not only a family man, but also a professor at USC dental, a sheriff, and an orthodontist ALL IN ONE. His passion is orthodontics and you can clearly see it through his work. Dr. Lee has worked on local celebrities including Audrina Patridge and Kherington Payne, and every smile that comes out of that office after a deband looks FLAWLESS. He is very picky and intricate in his work and I value that as a customer/patient. He takes a lot of time on one patient, more than most orthodontists. Also, he is very honest in his work and will never give you false hope. The staff he has is VERY fun and friendly they have never been even close to rude to me and my family. They tend to all my needs and I feel as if they are my friends every time I go in. All the girls seem to genuinely care about the patients and I always see them in such a good mood (that means their boss is good to them). Other orthodontists in the area charge higher fees and they don’t really care about you after they get your money and take your braces off so when you come in for your retainer check they quickly try to get rid of you. This is not the case with Dr. Lee, if he sees that your teeth have moved after your braces have been taken off for a period of time, he will take his valuable time to address the situation. Your teeth have moved because YOU did not wear the retainer. The retainers are from a lab and are made of acrylic, just like EVERY OTHER hawley retainer ever made. The first comment is just so ignorant it’s actually kind of funny. Such a caring man and professional. People all the way from Norco, Palm Desert, and Temecula make the trip once a month just for his services. This office is worth going to and the staff will make you feel as if you’re a part of them. Call this office and Gloria will gladly assist your needs!

Dr. Lee and staff are the “BEST”.  I am on my third child with Dr. Lee because his service and staff make me want to come back. They are always friendly and helpful.  All my childrens teeth look beauitful. I have my sisters family now going there also. I drive from Eastvale becuase of Dr. Lee’s service and staff!

Dr. Lee and his staff are the best in their business. Dr. Lee is detailed, knowledgeable, and a total professional. I had my, and all of our kids, teeth “transformed” by Dr. Lee and we are ALL satisfied customers. I never imagined my teeth being straight and looking great, but more importantly, they are now healthy. Thank you Dr. Lee! I highly recommend Dr. Steve Lee and his wonderful staff.

Went to Dr. Lee for Invisalign and it was the best decision of my life! Great prices, amazing staff, and my teeth came out perfectly. Dr. Lee also accommodated to my crazy schedule (I was flying from the Bay Area to see him) and was super insightful during the whole process. Thank you Dr. lee and your staff for this experience. I’d recommend anyone who is looking for an orthodontist to come here!!

Dr. Lee and his staff were amazing!!   Friendly, good work, and I always felt well taken care of, respected, and valued.  Never rushed, never forgotten. I looked forward to seeing them for my adjustment, to talk about progress, hear their stories and share mine.  It was kinda sad day to get them off because I wouldn’t be seeing them much any more. I was an adult patient.  As a kid, I took a bad dive into the side of the pool.  Surgery and such saved the structure of my mouth, but my teeth were in 20 different directions. I grew up being called  “snaggle tooth”, told that “I was pretty, except when I smiled”.  So…I stopped smiling.  Dr. Lee said it was a tough case, but after 3 other orthodontists turned me down, he decided to proceed. A year after my braces were off, a new friend said  “Wow, your smile is perfect.”   She had no idea what it was like before, but I’ll never forget that moment. Today, I FIND reasons to smile!  And Dr. Lee and his team are a reason to smile.

Dr. Lee has been our family’s orthodontist for years now and he always provides amazing service and handles appointments efficiently and effectively! Making appointments are a breeze and catered to my schedule. Once I go in I never have to wait more than 10 minutes to be seen by Dr. Lee. The assistants and receptionist are always happy and set a positive mood all throughout the building! Overall just a superb place that really cares about its patients!

Over the past 7 years, all three of my girls and I had our teeth perfectly straightened by Dr. Steve Lee .  We are extremely happy and satisfied with the results.  Dr. Lee is a pure professional with a staff that knows what they are doing with detailed care.  It was also convenient that Dr. Lee has another office in Diamond Bar as well as in Placentia which made it easier to set up monthly appointments.  I have recommended all of my friends and family members to Dr. Lee.  I think he is the best in the business.

I got my teeth straightened with Invisalign here, and the results were satisfactory. When first discussing whether I should get braces or Invisalign, Dr. Lee explained the pros and cons of each as they were relevant to me. Since I was attending school out of state at the time, braces would be quicker, but would present an issue if brackets or wires were to break unexpectedly. Invisalign wouldn’t correct the overbite that I have, but broken wires and brackets would never be a problem. Ultimately, he laid it all out for me and let me make my own decision. I am very happy with my results. Additionally, Gloria at the front desk is always cheerful and a pleasure to talk to, as are all of the dentist’s assistants!.

Dr. Lee was HIGHLY recommended by my friend, pediatrics dentist, when my first child needed braces to expand his palate. Then I took my second child when she needed one, too. After this first phase, both of my kids did their second phase (top and bottom) with Dr. Lee. Yes, sometimes the wait is little longer (any Dr.’s offices), but other times, the wait is very minimal. You should check out Dr. Lee’s credential… It’s very impressive! He is very professional, yet very personal in caring for his patients. And the staffs… they are very courteous! I love the way they decorate their office seasonally and how they have guessing candy jars… My first is done, my second one is almost done, and my third one will also be visiting Dr. Lee’s office in several years (he also needs to start with palate expansion). I will also HIGHLY recommend him!!.

Dr. Lee provided Orthodontia for all 3 of our kids. We really like him and his entire staff and would highly recommend him. My daughter had a pretty serious issue with one of her lower teeth trying to come up in the wrong place and over the last 2 years Dr. Lee has been able to move her other teeth over enough so there’s room for this one to come up in the right spot. Everyone in the office has been a pleasure to work with.

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
