    My wife and I have had a great experience at Kim Family Orthodontics, and we’re very happy with the results. Dr. Kim is extremely knowledgeable, kind, and easy to work with. Every visit has been comfortable and positive, and he always takes the time to explain what’s happening and what to expect next. One thing we really appreciated is that he creates new custom trays every month, so the fit is always precise as things progress. That attention to detail made a big difference for us. Dr. Kim was also very accommodating when we were traveling in Europe and helped pause the process without any issues, which made the whole experience much less stressful. Overall, we felt well cared for from start to finish and would confidently recommend Dr. Kim and his team to anyone considering orthodontic treatment.

    First this review has been long overdue and I’ve already completed my treatment of Invisalign here at Simply Orthodontics. But let me tell you right now stop looking for another office. Sure ortho is not cheap so that’s why it’s so important to find somewhere that will actually listen to you instead of looking at you with dollar signs. I’ve done my research and I made the hour commute to come here is honestly because I felt heard and seen. So many places just made me feel forced or pressured to sign with them same-day and didn’t really give me the chance to think it over. So when I met Min I knew instantly this was it I finally found my dental home to help correct my bite and smile. She was so kind and listened to me that I felt I wasn’t just a patient but part of their family. Being taken care of from the beginning to end their level of service and communication was like a 5 star luxury hotel. Dr Shung was always great he doesn’t give you the stuffy old school I won’t talk to you vibes. Instead he will find topics to chat with you and he’s like the nicest doctor you will ever meet. They remember the little details and the staff actually greets you by your name. I can go on and on about how amazing Simply Orthodontics is but you just have to try them out yourself. The consultation is complimentary so it doesn’t hurt to give them a chance. Also they are upfront with pricing and have payment plans available which is so helpful. I appreciate their honesty and how they are transparent so you know they truly want the best interest for you. Trust me when you enter their doors you will feel their warmth and hospitality waiting to welcome you to be part of their dental family.

They still remembered us when we couldn't go for a year and they don't judge or give off any negative vibes at all. No matter the situation or circumstance.

    Hands down the best Pediatric Dentists I've ever had the pleasure of taking my daughter to. The customer service and friendliness is a breath of fresh air. Dr. Y is like a wonderful neighbor you wish was your actual neighbor. The skill, patience, and kindness the dentists have here speak volumes. I remember dreading going to the dentist when I was a kid! I would literally run and hide when I knew it was time to head to the dentist. My daughter however, has no fear of dental visits with the team here. It's not like my daughter hasn't had any treatments that would point to that. She's had tooth extractions, braces, retainers, the whole nine yards performed with the dentists here! Yet, she's not afraid one bit. That is priceless to me, as feelings of terror and anxiety on the other hand, are so hard on kids. I can confidently and DO recommend this dentistry office to any parent looking for dentists who don't strike the fear of God in their kids (LOL) and provide next level customer service.

    My daughter was nervous about getting braces. I was nervous for her and spent 6 months after finding out she needed braces researching, reading reviews and finally found Cool Smiles orthodontics. Rosie was amazing the moment I spoke to her on the phone she was kind and compassionate when I explained how not so excited my daughter was about getting braces. She was very understanding and sympathetic. When we came my daughter and I were welcomed with a warm smile instantly she felt at ease. Then we met Jasmine who worked with my daughter who was fabulous sweet fun energetic and very kind to my daughter. Dr Simjee was awesome great side manners also putting my daughter at ease. The place was very nice, clean and welcoming! Highly recommend Dr. Simjee and his staff are the best!

    After carefully researching and visiting three different orthodontic practices in the area, I confidently chose Dr. Lee at Shining Smile Orthodontics for my children’s care. Dr. Lee’s extensive experience and refined expertise stood out immediately. I appreciate his ability to communicate with clarity and precision—he is direct, professional, and focused solely on providing the best treatment rather than unnecessary extras. The office itself reflects this same philosophy: simple, clean, and efficient, with a team of staff members who are both highly skilled and genuinely welcoming.

Everything is explained in a way that is easy to understand, without hidden fees or distractions. My daughter is currently undergoing treatment here, and I am already very pleased with the care she’s receiving. I trust Dr. Lee so much that I am planning to start treatment for my son here as well. For any parent searching for an orthodontist who combines true skill with honesty, reasonable pricing, and a caring team, I wholeheartedly recommend Shining Smile Orthodontics.

    I’ve had a consistently excellent experience at Walnut Dental. Simon, the hygienist, is outstanding—extremely thorough, patient, and genuinely conscientious about your overall health, not just your teeth. He takes the time to explain what he’s doing, pays close attention to details, and makes sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the visit. Dr. K is equally impressive. She is thoughtful, attentive, and clearly cares about long-term outcomes. Her follow-up is impeccable, and you never feel rushed or dismissed. It’s refreshing to be treated by a dentist who is both highly skilled and truly invested in patient care. Together, Simon and Dr. K set a very high standard. I highly recommend Walnut Dental to anyone looking for a practice that prioritizes quality, professionalism, and genuine care.

    I can’t recommend Dr. Mana at Serene Orthodontics enough! She is an experienced, personable, and trustworthy board-certified orthodontist who truly cares for her patients. One of the things I appreciate most is that she does all her own adjustments instead of delegating to an assistant—this really speaks to her attention to detail and dedication to achieving the best results. She is truly an expert in both traditional braces and Invisalign, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. If you’re looking for an orthodontist who combines skill, precision, and genuine care, look no further. I’ll be sending all my family and friends to see her!

    I must return to edit my comments to express my strong recommendation for this dentistry. Cal Dental is a family-owned office led by Dr. Anko Hsiao, which has been established here for over 20 years. All patients are well-cared for, creating a welcoming feeling akin to coming home—unlike some local dental practices where you might feel neglected. Dr. Hsiao’s wife, Kay, treats every patient with care, remembering our needs and wants and treat us with extreme patience. I first discovered this place when I received a free cleaning through the UCI insurance plan. The service was very professional, and I ended up coming regularly for exams, cleanings, all the way to fillings and crowns. I feel safe to discuss any concerns I have with the doctor, as he is knowledgeable in his job and always keep good track of all patients’ tooth history and conditions. Unlike other providers, Dr. Anko does a very great job as he always take time looking into patient’s x-ray and tooth condition carefully. He also has all those expensive latest technology products and use them on every patient as needed (e.g. ultrasonic digital 3D tooth model collector, lazer gun, hygiene machines). I did two crowns, one inlay, and one extraction of wisdom tooth in the last few years - all turned out to be very well done. No single pain at all and I safely treat them as a regular tooth. I would definitely recommend this dentistry to everyone looking for quality job and great service at a reasonable price.
