Dentists in Pasadena

“professional staff, Dr. Chris, Dr. Chen have my back and does care planning for the best results“

“This is not a normal dentists office! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Blue Door Dental, Dr. Thomas Pacheco, and his entire team. They truly changed my life.

For over 10 years, I avoided the dentist entirely due to severe anxiety and fear. By the time I finally walked through their doors, my teeth were in very bad shape and I was honestly overwhelmed, embarrassed, and terrified. From the very first appointment, Dr. Pacheco and his staff treated me with an extraordinary level of compassion, patience, dignity, and humanity that I have genuinely never experienced in healthcare before.

Instead of making me feel ashamed or pressured, they worked WITH me on such a caring and personal level every step of the way. They created a thoughtful, personalized plan that took into account not only the extensive dental work I needed, but also my anxiety every step of the way. They went above and beyond to accommodate me personally, emotionally, and practically.

The work itself was incredibly extensive and complicated. Dr. Pacheco handled everything with such calm expertise, precision, and kindness that something unbelievable happened: I went from dreading dental appointments to actually looking forward to seeing him and his team.

That is not an exaggeration.

What they gave me was so much bigger than dental care. They gave me relief and an end to literally years of daily anxiety. I went from living in near constant discomfort and shame to today, at this point, a mouth full of completely repaired, healthy, pain free teeth.

Dr. Pacheco is not only an exceptional dentist, he is a rare human being. And the team at Blue Door Dental is truly extraordinary.

If you have dental anxiety, if you’ve been avoiding care, if you feel embarrassed, scared, or hopeless please know there is a place that will meet you with kindness instead of judgment. I am endlessly grateful I found them.“

“Dr. Cho is very Knowledgeable, thorough and clear explaining
1. His detection of a problem
2. His assessment as to how the problem could affect one’s overall health,
3. His possible approaches to eradicating the problem
4. And using available tools to support his theories.

These approaches support my view that he is thorough and approachable when answering questions about the problem,“

“Taylor and Diane were exceptionally welcoming, knowledgeable, and thorough ! Any anxiety I originally felt was completely gone after meeting with them. Dr. Elias took his time with us, explained everything clearly and answered all questions.“

“I had a great experience at Joshua Dental – Advanced Dentistry & Emergency Dentist. The office is professional, clean, and welcoming, but what really stood out was the new hygienist, Komei. Komei is amazing—thorough, gentle, and incredibly attentive throughout the cleaning. They made the entire experience comfortable and took the time to explain everything clearly. It’s rare to find someone who combines skill and kindness so well. Highly recommend Joshua Dental, especially if you get to see Komei!“

“There are dentists who seem focused on maximizing profits, and then there are dentists who genuinely care about providing a lifetime of excellent dental health. Dr. Andy Kau is absolutely the latter.

He is exceptionally knowledgeable, honest, and incredibly skilled. What sets him apart is his integrity. He never recommends unnecessary procedures or tries to upsell expensive treatments. His priority is always preserving the health of your teeth in the most effective and conservative way possible.

More than once, I’ve gone into his office expecting a complicated and expensive repair. Instead, he carefully evaluated the situation and resolved the problem with the simplest, most effective treatment—for a very reasonable fee. That level of integrity is rare and speaks volumes about his character.

The entire office reflects that same commitment to excellence. Every member of his staff is warm, welcoming, professional, and provides outstanding care from the moment you walk in.

If you’re looking for a dentist you can trust for years to come, I can’t recommend Dr. Andy Kau highly enough.“

“Karen Burgoyne is the best Dental hygienist. She has very skilled hands to be very thorough with cleaning, but delicate enough to not feel pain. She was very informative about aftercare and more importantly, has a very good energy about her to make anyone feel comfortable in the seat. I 100% recommend Karen.“

“I have known Dr. Chu since the early years of her practice. She has always been a warm, patient and responsive person with whom it's easy to feel confident about. What has amazed me, though, is her constant professional growth and use of new techniques and instruments to improvement the quality of your dental care. Each time I visit her office I leave with a bigger smile! (And I'm a very nervous dental patient.)“

“The doctor and the staff are very professional respectful and friendly they care for the dental health of the patients“

“Smile Dental has helped me through my orthodontic treatment process. They were very professional
And helpful through the process. I would highly recommend them.“

“I’ve been going to Belle Smile for a while now and it’s great! The staff have good customer service and make you feel welcome.“

“I can’t speak more highly of this place. Dr. Goo and his staff are the best. Kind, knowledgeable and welcoming. My daughter had a procedure done that went so very smoothly. They made my young daughter feel comfortable and at ease. Absolute professional and caring service. I highly recommend to anyone needing oral surgery. Thank you Dr Goo!“

“Dr. Spero was really great! Extremely personable, communicative, and efficient. I came in short notice for a wisdom tooth extraction and I left the office in under an hour. The other staff were just personable and kind. Highly recommend!“

“Today I have a deep cleaning handled by Iliana Gonzalez. She possesses excellent skill with care. She is definitely an amazing dentist and I am glad to have her taking care of me.“

“I’ve trusted Pasadena Dental Office and Orthodontics with my dental care and so far, so great!! They have been kind and professional.“

“Dr. Carpenter was highly recommended as a dentist near me, but even after moving to a different town, we still go to her. Amazing. Great for the adults and grade school aged kids in the family. Also has provided essential recommendations to excellent types of professionals - oral surgeon and orthodontist - when needed.
Very well run office and kind staff. Super A+“

“Best dental experience you will ever have. Highly recommend Dr. Le and Dr. Nguyen, especially if you're like me and have a lot of anxiety and fear when it comes to seeing a dentist. This practice is so kind and friendly, great at communication, and does excellent work. Taking care of your oral health doesn't have to be scary or stressful, especially with this team-- they really are the best. Aside from awesome doctors: plenty of parking, really clean office, easy to set up appointments, thorough explanation of procedures“

“I had a tooth extraction and implant procedure at Prestige Dental with Dr. “B,” and it was a really good experience. The team was professional and kind and they made me feel comfortable from start to finish, not an easy task :-+

What stood out most was how smooth it was—I didn’t even realize the tooth had been pulled until Dr. “B” told me it was out, the nightmare of a giant pliers coming at you are long past lol.

The other thing is that I was given options and a clear explanation of costs ahead of time. There was no pressure, just helpful guidance so I could decide what felt right.

The office is pristine and new, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I’d definitely recommend Dr. “B” and Prestige Dental.“

“The best Dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve been always changing dentists because I couldn’t find the right one all this years until I met Dr Elmassian. I drove from Porter Ranch to Pasadena definitely worth every minute. He’s wealth of knowledge and confident of his work. Never failed me once. what I always tell him that His got the golden touch ?“

“professional staff, Dr. Chris, Dr. Chen have my back and does care planning for the best results“

“Great service and honest staff. I was excited to remove my braces, the doctor was was satisfied with where we were at the time and suggested and recommended we keep a few weeks longer to ensure jaw alignment to help avoid issues down the line. I was very happy with the honesty and dedication to get this perfect.“

“Dr. Sumalee is the gem of gems - she is always at the forefront of the latest study and most importantly - truly cares about her patients’ well-being with genuine love like a mother. We’re so blessed to have her for the last 15 years and will continue to recommend her to all who ask for pediatric dentist!!“

“Always have a great experience with Dr. Johnson and his staff. His work is excellent, he cares and is very honest and upstanding. I have also had past experiences with dental offices soliciting unnecessary and very costly (not to mention invasive and painful!) work; this is NEVER the case with Dr. Johnson. He works hard to maintain best dental health based on specific needs and never tries to upsell or deceive. It is refreshing and appreciated to have a dentist who does quality work and sincerely looks out for his patients' best outcome. I have sent my whole family to Dr. Johnson's office and trust him and his staff completely. The icing on the cake is that they are all very kind and lovely people. Highly recommend, thankful for great care given here.“

“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Foon for over 10 years, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. She takes a very personal approach with every patient and truly cares about providing the best possible care. She stays current with the latest dental technologies and always takes the time to explain treatment options thoroughly, helping you choose the approach that will deliver the best results in your particular situation

What I appreciate most is how much attention Dr. Foon gives to the quality of her work and to making sure everything is done right. I always feel well taken care of and confident that I’m getting the best treatment possible. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about her patients, which is why I’ve continued seeing her for so many years.“

“We love this family friendly, safe, and joyful dentist office. Dr. Mike and the whole crew are genuine, beautiful people, skilled and professional. We live in Long Beach and drive to Pasadena every 6 months to make our appointments. :)“
