Harbor Dental Care

I have not been to a dentist in over 10 years because of extreme fear. I made an appointment for a consultation. Dr Lee listened to my concerns and why I had been so afraid of dentist. He was very compassionate to my concerns. I went back to speak with Norma and Tamara because I was still scared, they were extremely helpful. I made my appointment and actually showed up for it. Dr Lee was very patient with me and I can honestly say, he wiped my fears away. I want to say thank you to Dr Lee, Norma and Tamara. You are all wonderful and I will be back, and I will be recommend ding you to all my family and friends.

Like majority of the bad reviews posted about Dr. Lee of Harbor Dental in La Habra, I will be giving the same review. I came a few weeks ago for my initial visit and after probably 4 minutes of him looking at my X-​ray and my teeth, Dr. Lee concluded that I need deep cleaning. With some underlying medical conditions, he wanted me to get clearance from my medical doctor for said procedure which I did. Today, I came to his clinic to ask him if I can just have the regular cleaning and explained to him that I’ve been through 4 surgeries recently and I prefer not to undergo another extensive procedure. Instead of explaining the need of such procedure, he blurted out, if you don’t want to do my recommendation you can go to other dentist. He was even bragging about him being one of the best in the nation. He even accused me of being unethical and questioning his 30 years of dental experience.
Did he forget that he is talking to his patient. He disrespected me in front of his staff. I don’t recommend this dental office. Dr. Lee is the rudest and unprofessional dentist I have ever met.

The worst ever! Please do not go here for your dental needs! The dentist is condescending and rude. There are so many other dental offices available to you which are much more up to date in technique and with more modern equipment, why would you want to go to this rude, dirty and antiquated office?
Yikes!

This was the most unprofessional and unpleasant dental experience I have had. My appointment was scheduled for 4 pm and I didn’t get to see the doctor until 5:36 pm. It was so long I counted the minutes. After seeing me for a full 2 minutes he said I needed deep cleaning which was not possible today and I needed to reschedule for a 600 dollar deep cleaning. The nurse noted my good insurance and said it would only cost me 100 dollars co-​pay. This place totally wants to scam you for your money and Dr. Lee doesn’t value your time. When I called the place back to see if I could change the deep cleaning to a regular cleaning, Dr. Lee told me to go find some other dental office and that he did a thorough examination in 2 minutes by simply looking at X-​rays and not actually examining my teeth.

When I think back to this experience I also want to note: Beware of the x-​ray technician and staff who handle your equipment without using gloves.
I will be informing my insurance company of this terrible experience and also getting a new Dentist ASAP. Never coming back here and you shouldn’t either.

Absolutely awful. If you can, please avoid coming here.
Don’t get me wrong, the staff and doctor are all very sweet. They just have no idea what they’re doing.
I went in for a checkup and the doctor found cavities. He said around 9 (I clearly don’t go to the dentist a lot). Then, his dental assistant found 4 more! SHE DID! He wasn’t paying enough attention and had to leave that to her. Humph! That was a bad sign. So he filled my cavities and I always had had pain with eating candy. So after a few weeks, my cavities still hurt. I thought it was weird but I never said anything. Then I decided to go to another dentist. She said I had 13 cavities! Are you kidding me? I thought this guy filled and fixed my 13 cavities? I at least PAID for it! Then it made sense that I still had pain. Absolutely awful. I could not believe that after all that money, and all that pain, he didn’t even fix them. I had the exact same number of cavities.
Never ever go there!

As a child I had more than a few bad dentist experiences that left me with some major dental anxiety; which I carried well into adulthood. Long story short, Dr. Lee is brilliant; he put me at easy by reassuring me that I was in good hands. 10 years later, I’m still a patient, I maintain my regular dental checks-​ups with his office. I can not imagine seeing a dentist other than Dr. Lee. His staff is kind, friendly and extremely professional…

I am very nervous of dentists… I had a bad expierence from when I was younger. I came in to see Dr. Lee with pain on my top left side. I found out I had a really bad infection from my wisdom tooth. An infection was starting on my lower right as well Dr. Lee sugested they all get pulled out so I can avoid more problems latter. I also needed a deep cleaning due to not going to the dentist for a few years. Also I had two cavities. Dr. Lee did all of it that same day. All my wisdom teeth were pulled out and I had no more problems. Even with the infection on both sides he pulled out my wisdom teeth like it was nothing. My fear went away at that moment because it wasnt that bad he made me feel very safe. The lady assisting him was very nice and friendly as well. So was the rest of the staff in the front and the back, they assured me that it wasnt going to be bad and ill be fine. Now i dont mind going to the desntist as long as its Dr. Lee and his staff. I will definitly be going back for my 6 months cleaning.

Very friendly and professional staff. Dr. Lee is top notch.
