Michael Le, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I’ve been seeing Dr. Le now for a few months and have been satisfied with all the work he’s done. Not only did he fix a bad filling done by another dentist, he did a wonderful job with my root canal, and all fillings he’s performed thus far have been done professionally and pain-free (or as pain-free as fillings can get). His prices are reasonable, a porcelain crown on my bottom, back right molar costing me (great price) (the root canal itself was covered by my state insurance) and so far it’s been a beautiful, snug fit and performed flawlessly–I even forget I have a crown, it feels just that natural.

He answers all questions you have and does his best to explain things if you don’t understand. He works with you to find a suitable solution. And before any work is done, you sign paperwork to consent to it first. Don’t want a root canal due to the cost? Don’t want to pay for the more expensive crown? Then don’t sign the paper and he won’t do it. Only sign what you agree to pay for.

As for insurance prices, that can be out of his control–insurance companies can state one price, then decide not to cover the full amount, in which case the patient has signed a paper stating they will pay the difference–this is not the fault of the dentist, that is just how insurance companies run. When it doubt, call your insurance to see what your coverage is BEFORE getting work done, so you save yourself and the dentist time and money. I called my state insurance to go over what is and isn’t covered, so I could make the best decision for myself in my dental treatment.

I would also like to add that I have terrible anxiety that requires medication and continued psychiatric care. And Dr. Le is wonderful with anxious patients. I still am afraid when I sit in the chair, but I don’t have panic attacks anymore, just general anxiety. You’re allowed to wear earbuds, hold a small stuffed animal, do almost anything that will help you relax. Earbuds and upbeat music help drown out the drill for me and keep me calm, and I can’t thank Dr. Le enough for accommodating me and my anxiety. So if you have anxiety, or have children with anxiety, you’re in good hands.

I still have more work to be done, so I’ll be continuing to come to this establishment. Already have another appointment booked. Thank you so much, Dr. Le!
