I had previously visited this location about 10 years ago for an orthodontic appointment, but I was mostly a patient at the Long Beach Newport Dental location. I recently called to schedule a general dentistry appointment here and was pleasantly surprised that they had an opening within the week on a Saturday at 10:30 AM.

Since I had never seen the general dentist at this location, I went in as a new patient. I would recommend arriving about 10–20 minutes early for your appointment because the paperwork can take a little longer than the estimated 10 minutes.

Dr. Choi was my dentist, and I had a great experience with him. He was kind, patient, and made me feel comfortable throughout my visit. He completed my cavity filling and has also recommended getting my wisdom teeth removed in the past, but I never felt pressured or rushed. That’s something I really appreciate because it made me feel like he genuinely cared about my dental health. I believe he is there every Saturday, and I would definitely recommend scheduling with him if you’re able to.

The hygienist was also very friendly and did a great job. My cleaning and filling were both done comfortably and without any pain.

I also want to recognize the front office/admin staff. They were very helpful in making sure my insurance coverage was correct. Initially, the system was not showing my full coverage, but he took the time to double-check everything, and when he came back, the correct coverage was reflected. I really appreciated him taking the extra step to verify it, which allowed me to complete my check-in, cleaning, and appointment the same day.

Overall, I had a great experience and would recommend this office, especially Dr. Choi and the team there.
