Wpd Dental Group

Best dentist and dental office staff ever! I had the pleasure of visiting the WPDG office for several different occasions and always left feeling better than I didn’t coming in. Not only are the office staff the most friendly and helpful people you’ll ever meet, but the dental hygienists and doctors are also top-​notch. Each specialist that I’ve met with was always making sure to help me best understand any procedures I was going to be needing.
On a side note, I was referred to another oral surgeon because my wisdom teeth were a special case and my periodontist, Dr. Michael Whang not only referred me to an excellent oral surgeon, but also made sure to send me a note hoping that my surgery went well along with a Jamba Juice gift card! How sweet and thoughtful is this?!
I would definitely recommend this dental office and it’s entire staff to any one in need of dental services! Thank you, WPDG! :)

Went here for a few years, kept giving them a chance to do me right but eventually concluded I just need to find a new dentist, period.
The office is nice and clean. Staff is pleasant but some can barely speak English. Doctors however are educated in top US schools which is good. However, they only do QA most of the time and there are lesser-​trained employees, who would do the gruntwork. For example, cleaning is done by Hygienist for 20 minutes followed by 3-​minute QA of the real dentist. Some of the deep cleaning and scaling is done by the dentist, who unceremoniously leaves you with an assistant midway into the cleaning, and then arrives again towards the end of the job.
I also had root canal done here. About $ 1K or so to pay even if I had mid-​level insurance. And oh yeah, the root canal wore off after few months and they eventually had to extract the tooth. The dentist tells me I had a tumor in my tooth (freak me out, why don’t you!) and so they had no way of knowing the root canal won’t work. Yeah, right! Wonder how many times they have used that excuse. Even while I was in pain and half my face numb, the dentist tells me I should start to think about implants and come back in a month.
The place is pure business for these dentists and less on patient care. I hope they improve as their location and equipment is pretty good. Sorry, one star only.

Worst place I’ve ever been to. Dentists blames secretaries for their own mistakes, cowards. Over charges, Very shady (illegal) billing.
This place will ask you to come 2 different days for cleansing so they will do a good job on it? they’ll clean the left side one day and right side another day. Six months later when I went for my biannual cleaning, I was billed up my ass. Most insurance will cover cleaning twice a year, they will charge BOTH for this one cleaning. Shady!!! PLUS, I was scheduled to get my wisdom teeth removed Wednesday, but when I went in on Monday, they have done a filling on my wisdom tooth! WTF! When I complained, why they did a filling when they were being removed anyway? Their response was, «oh, ok, I won’t charge you for that one» WTF! How about I punch you in the face and won’t charge you for that one! Fillings done on both me and my wife had to be redone multiple times due to unimaginable pain.

I am writing this review specifically b/​c I feel these guys have been given a black eye by some of these negative reviews & I really don’t think that’s fair (not from my experiences with them anyway). I live in Atlanta, GA and have been coming to this dental group for the past couple of years continually b/​c I have trusted their expertise, professionalism, courtesy, and experience time after time after time after time.
Their prices are about half what I was quoted and paid in Atlanta, GA so making the tripS to them from Atlanta, GA has been worthwhile for me. Frankly speaking, they have performed some work that other dentists I have gone to (several in Korea, one in Georgia, 2 in California) have not been able to treat successfully. My effin tooth cap kept coming lose and falling off which started to become an annoying annual expense for me. WPD Dental Group fixed that problem with their expertise and I have no complaints (and it’s been over 3 years now!)
The work I had performed here ranged from root canal retreatment, implant, wisdom teeth extraction to teeth cleaning. I really like the staff and think a few really stand out so I’m writing this review as my way of thanking them. Much gratitude to Stella, Misty, Komi, Dr. Jae Y. Lee (5 stars), and Dr. Young Seok (5 stars, but no longer there =(
I recommend them highly and thank you WPD Dental Group for taking care of my teeth!
Cheers and have a positive day.

I wish i could give 0 stars for WPD dental group.
Don’t be fooled by the facilities, looks are deceiving!
For a root canal, you must go see an endodontist
if you don’t want to pay another 2k for retreat & crown!
(which I had to do after my root canal treatment here)
In regards to patient care, receptionist and staff
they don’t remember you even after 6 visits.

Dr. Jae Y. Lee is a great guy. He takes his time to explain things and makes you feel like he really likes what he does. I’ve been going to him for the past 5 years or so and have zero complaints. The staff is very professional and courteous.

WPD is the worst dental office I’ve ever been to! I only went into this office because my old crown fell off and needed immediate repair.
Reasons:
1. They charge you the full amount up front even if you have a dental insurance, and their refund policy not only takes a long time but also is extremely inconvenient.
I work at a large company that provides very good dental benefits. Usually the patient is only responsible for the portion that is not covered by the insurance; in my case it was around 35% of the total bill. WPD tried to charge me the full amount up front. When I told them that I would find a different dentist because I’m not comfortable with the payment option they provide, they reduced it 50% and had told me that they will refund me rest of the money when they recieve the insurance money. Since I was in a lot of pain due to the exposed tooth, I agreed with it and got the treatment. It’s been over six months, and I still haven’t recieved rest of the refund. I had made numerous attempts of getting the refund money but been unsuccessful.
2. They did unnecessary work and charged me for it.
I went in because ONE crown fell off. I had recently moved to LA, but I had a full x-​ray taken with my previous dentist. Without asking me, they took the full x-​ray of my mouth. I could have gotten it transferred from the previous dentist, only if they had asked me, and for free! Obcourse the insurance denied payment (since they only cover full x-​ray every 36 months) and made me responsible for it. They took the amount out of of what they had owed me for a refund.
3. They did a bad job on my crown and I could not chew for 3 months after the treatment.
The doctor was working without any assistant that day. She did a bad job delivering my new crown and I was in pain for a long time after the treatment. When I went back, she told me that it is because I needed a root canal! At that point I went to a different dentist ‘Beverly Dental Group’ and got the whole treatment re-​done. After 3 months of suffering and pain, I had to go to a new dentist to be able to chew again.
Bottom line: unless you enjoy overpaying for a bad treatment or enjoy not being able to chew for 3 months, don’t go to WPD.
