Staff here is amazing, specifically Josie and Grace. My issue after coming here for a year is that I always felt like Dr. Cho was trying to rush through my dental work and the result was accidentally chipping a tooth on one occasion, breaking a tooth instead of full removal during extraction on another occasion, and the latest was an extremely swollen cheek because he ruptured a blood vessel when giving local anesthesia.

Maybe I've just had terrible luck with him even though I never had a bad experience anywhere else, but it always felt like he was just trying to get to the person in the next chair asap. Unfortunately I'll be looking for a new dentist.

I searched a long time to find a good dental office. I'm so happy to have found Friendly Dental Care. The staff are always so welcoming and kind. They keep you up to date on appointments and provide reminders. Dr. Cho is very friendly and spends the necessary time answering questions and truly seems to care. They don't seem to over book so you are always seen at your appt. time.

I love this dental office! My daughter and I both go here and they always treat us with so much care. My 5 year old literally asks when she gets to go back every time we leave (this could also be for the trips to the treasure chest after her cleaning lol) but every staff member we have ever worked with from this office has been wonderful. Nothing but good things to say! Thank you friendly dental!

Now I understand why this office is called Friendly Dental Care because the staff are always so welcoming, well mannered, and kind. One of the best customer services! Compared to all of the dentistries that I've been to so far, I've never felt this willing to go to a dentist appointment like I do with Friendly Dental Care. I've done teeth cleanings from the dental assistants and teeth extractions from Dr. Cho and they've always went smoothly and I've always left the dentistry feeling satisfied and comfortable.

Both Dr. Cho and the dentals assistants are very gentle yet precise with their work. I've never felt any discomfort during the procedures that I've undergone. I highly recommend this dentistry!

My wife and I found Friendly Dental Care after relocating out of LA. Dr. Cho and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. My wife got fillings done for the first time in her life and she was extremely anxious. She got treated with no pain and left satisfied. I got a ton of long overdue work done (fillings/crown) and I highly recommend this practice.

Amazing customer service and friendly attitude toward my wife and I's request. This dental spot is a gem in disguise. I thought that they would always be busy but the way they do their appointments, you always find yourself getting there for a short wait and get seen as soon as your appointment time comes around. The work that they do is to your benefit but the extra professionalism and their understanding of appointment time is what is going to cause me to stick around for the long run.

I swapped dentist after been to another private practice where i would get a rando fresh out of dental school dentist, but Dr. Cho does all of his work. I really appreciate the quality & consistency in care. Everyone is extremely friendly, and they are very respectful of your time. I got a crown placed on within 45 minutes. They send text reminders, and I also like that you can text them back and it's actually a person.

Who likes to go to the dentist? Not me that's for sure. 2 decades without a visit and I finally decided to be smart and get my teeth checked. Josie and Grace answer the phone and they did a phenomenal job creating a friendly and caring atmosphere. Destiny and Dr. Cho were awesome and made everything clear and answered all my questions. Walked in thinking I needed a whole new set of teeth and walked out with a clear plan of what needs to be done and what is a priority. They've got my business and I appreciate their sincerity. Thanks guys and definitely don't want to see you again too soon but if I do I'm happy too :

All the staff is very friendly and competent. Appointments are not impossible to get like other past dentist offices i have used. Been going here about a year now with my entire family. Every experience has been great.

Friendly Dental has given me an amazing experience so far. I've had several different dentists over the course of my life, and the technology and methods they are definitely some of the best! I've noticed all the small details they have taken to help make sure it is a great experience. When I got some fillings done, they put vaseline on my lips so that way my lips would not get chapped during the procedure.

Another thing they did was they had me swap out my glasses with a protective pair they had to prevent any water stains from forming on my glasses. These are some of the things I did not even think about, but these small details they did made my experience so much better. Costs can always vary amongst Dental Practices, but they are very transparent and provide you with a roadmap and treatment plan ahead of time so you know what it will take to get your dental care and services taken care of. This is something I really appreciated! Covid-19: They take very good precautions and made me feel safe to get dental work done during this pandemic!

I'm very pleased to call this place my new dental office. As a new customer I was nervous with all the work I needed to get done BUT everyone from the front desk, assistants and Dr made me feel so comfortable. I had a difficult wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled out. Before, during and after my procedure they would make sure I was feeling okay. They even called/texted me days after my wisdom tooth removal to make sure I was recovering at home okay!

-I really wanted to like this place with all its great reviews but unfortunately I had a root canal done here that left me a little concerned. Upon going to get it checked out by another dentist, it turned out I had to be sent to a root canal specialist as the implant for root canal was inserted too far past my gum line. I had to have a CT scan and had a lot of pain and headaches and jaw ache for three weeks and had to take high doses of pain killers those three weeks. -Additionally they charged me a lot of money for each visit even though I had dental coverage.

And I noticed that every other dentist I've been to with my exact same dental insurance coverage does not seem to charge anywhere close to the amount they charge. - finally, the dentist said my husband needed a few fillings redone as they seemed very old and could possibly turn into a root canal. When my husband went to another dentist for a second opinion, the dentist said his teeth looked great and there were no fillings needed.

I really debated writing this review as these guys seemed like good people. Even after my bad root canal experience I didn't want to leave a bad review. However upon finding out that my husband didn't need any fillings upon getting the second opinion, I felt that I should leave this review.

Friendly dental has been amazing. I just started with them this year. The lady in the front Josie is super sweet and they don't charge you crazy fees that not part of your insurance, this is why we came here because another dental place on rosecrans was doing that. They also make sure to call and text you to remind you of your appointments. Dr. Cho is a delightful dentist and is very gentle and I'm the type to try to hold it in if I'm in pain but he is able to tell by my facial expressions and will stop to make sure I'm ok and ask if I need more numbing medication. If you guys need a good and honest dental place this is it!

My family and I have been coming to Friendly Dental just over a year since we moved to this area, and we are so grateful for the staff and Dr. Cho's knowledge and wisdom! I was in the middle of an implant treatment from a previous dentist (in which I was told that it was going to take months to complete because of bone graft healing), but when I transferred to Dr. Cho, he told me he can treat it right away. and he did!

I haven't had any problems either. I also had a different dentist who told me I couldn't do an implant on a different tooth because of too much bone loss, but Dr. Cho said otherwise, and I just completed my 2nd implant just yesterday! We trust Dr. Cho with our teeth, and my 3yo loves coming to this dentist too! It was her first time visiting a dentist, but she looks forward to coming every time! Thank you, Dr. Cho, Grace, Josie and Kristen!

I've been going to Friendly Dental Care for more than 4 years now and have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Cho, his kind staff, and their wonderful dental practice. Everyone treats you with the utmost professionalism, friendliness, gentleness, and respect. What I particularly like is how they take x-rays of your teeth at the start of every visit - this way, over the years, I'm able to keep track of the health of my teeth.

I tend to get lock-jaw when I open my mouth too wide for long periods of time, but they've always been so incredibly understanding, allowing me to close my mouth every few seconds to take a break. I really like how Dr. Cho and his staff connect with me on a personal level - they really do treat you like family here. They also have a mini-fridge in the lobby with refreshments to enjoy, which is always a nice plus; If you're looking for a quality dentist in the area, I'd highly recommend that you visit Friendly Dental Care. You won't regret it.

A friend referred me here for I was looking for a good dentist after my dentist of 20 years retired. I'm so happy I decided to give them a try. From the time I booked my appointment, during my visit and after excellent experience. The hygienist is super knowledgeable explained step by step as well as Dr. Cho. took the time to explain everything to me.

Of course the receptionist, each one extended excellent customer service. Definitely true to the name. = Last but not least, very clean environment. Highly recommend and I will definitely come back for all my dental needs.

I've been looking for a dentist since I just moved to this area and I'm very lucky to have found this dentistry! I found them through Yelp and I'm so happy I did. They follow all the COVID protocols and send out texts (very convenient!) to notify patients about upcoming appointments. Dr. Cho is really friendly, knowledgeable, and does great work. Josie and Grace are always so accommodating the minute you walk in and will always check in with you through text/phone call after procedures. The dental assistants are also very accommodating and you can tell they really care about their patients. I highly recommend this dentist!

If you're looking for a dentist and dental office. I would highly recommend, Dr. Cho and his practice. My family has been his patient's for 5 years; one year, we mistakenly chose the wrong insurance and weren't able to go there and it was a difficult dental year for us. This dental office is very clean, and I mostly enjoy having a great relationship with Dr. Cho, Josie, and Grace. If you're looking, this would be the best spot for you and your family. Clean, efficient, safe, and helpful. Great place for children and adults

I have been going to dentist for 9 years. Very friendly, kind, and well equipped with new techniques. They ask question how I'm doing, if I'm comfortable, well doing procedures.

When I moved to La Mirada went to another dentist that took my insurance and I was not pleased as they tried to up sell me services I knew I did not need. Switched to Friendly Dental Care and have been very pleased with Dr. Cho and his very friendly staff. My wife and kids come here as well and have good experiences. The office is super nice and clean as well. If you're looking for a dentist I highly recommend this one.
