Patient Reviews from Pasadena Families
My grandfather went for teeth implants and had an amazing experience. The doctor was so kind and patient, the office was clean, and he had no pain whatsoever. The teeth implants looked so natural that I didn’t even recognize it wasn’t his teeth. The color, shape and size was so realistic. We came all the way from Westwood and definitely would recommend this doctor.
- Eliana
Staff is always efficient, but most of all they are kind. Everyone cares about the patient and are continually checking to make sure you are getting okay. Given that going to the dentist is not a fun thing to do, the staff does everything they can to make the experience positive.
- Sharron
I have only been with Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics for 2 months, but so far am very happy with the quality of care. It was recommended that I have 6 fillings, a root canal with a crown, and a deep cleaning. It’s a lot, but I recently left my other dentists because I felt like they were not very proactive in my dental care. I had gone to another dentists a few months prior to Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics, and they pretty much gave me the same assessment.
