Fresh Leaf Dental

I have a continuing relationship with Fresh Leaf Dental as I am one of their Invisalign patients. My treatment started in August and I have had nothing but good to great experiences with them. The staff is always friendly towards me and I appreciate more so than anything, is how accommodating they are to my hectic schedule. I work and attend school full time and find it very difficult to schedule times for visits as I don’t have that luxury of an open schedule. My work schedule is changed often and sometimes fall during the time of my appointment, but I never have a problem with that here since they do their best to fit me in. Also, I have visited many orthodontists for braces/​Invisalign treatment and I decided on this one after much investigation. So far so good.

Everything was good until I ran into the receptionist with the attitude, as one reviewer has already made mention of.
I for one, don’t appreciate unnecessary attitude from anyone. This was a simple request on my part, asked in a kind, non-​confrontational manner, and in response, I received an undeserved ration of rudeness.
The dentist is very good, along with most of the staff.
Very sad to experience someone who pretends to be nice until you have a simple request. Then their true colors show.
A business is as strong as its weakest link, and there is definitely one here.

Ridiculous… got a coupon from groupon for the cleaning. Called in to schedule an appointment and they tell me that they booked for the next 2 months. You kidding me right? Well wait so i went ahead and did cleaning else where and moved my date to the latest available appointment and told them if anything opens up let me know in advance. Lady called me twice with in 2 months with 3 hour notice. Really lady? You do realize that people have day full time jobs and cant just leave. Anyways appointment she gave me last time after i checked my coupon expires a day before. But guess what nothig is available again so my money went to waist after almost 4 months of waiting cant even accept it a day after it expires and cant schedule an early day!!! Not to mention attitude she has. Talking to people like she is doing everybody a favor. I hope you choke on that coupon and basically stolen money. At least mention that you have 2 months minimum waiting line so that people like me wont waste their time and hear that receptionist attitude.

I used a groupon I bought months prior; the coupon included teeth cleaning, dental exam, and x-​rays for $ 29. I don’t have dental insurance so clearly this was a deal I could not pass up! The staff was incredibly warm and understanding. I came in 15 minutes late due to traffic and just difficulty finding their building, I called a few times and was given directions. Additionally, when I parked in the big lot there was someone standing out there so that I could follow her into the complex into their office. So nice!
I spent most of my time with the dental hygienist of course, she was sweet and engaging. They charged an additionally $ 20 for fluoride paste, which I got. I told her I was starting medical school soon and would like to come to their office during my break. They sent a follow up letter congratulating me on my acceptance and saying that they hoped to see me in December on break. I appreciated the attentiveness.
The only thing I did not like was when the dentist Dr. Amr came to examine me, she yelled out some dental terms to the hygienist and she wrote them down. She talked to me about the cost of their services without insurance. Cleanings are $ 95 without insurance, which after comparing them to other offices is actually pricey. I have no problem paying that much, but she said «people spend more at target, $ 95 every 6 months, is nothing for dental health.» I hate assumptions. No I don’t spend that much on shopping, in fact I abstain on indulging on material things. Secondly, you assume $ 95 is nothing, but it’s everything when you are flat broke and your medical health or food and other bills are a priority. I just dislike people speaking to others from a place of privilege making gross assumptions.
When I got to the counter to pay for my $ 20 flourish paste, she started talking about the cost of my cavities. I was so confused I told her I never got fillings, she’s like yea I know I just wanted to give you an estimate for how much it would cost to fill them. I asked surprised «I have cavities?!» She said yea what did you think they were talking about. I did not once hear someone use the word cavity, had I, I would have been alarmed as I have only had 2 cavities in my 25 years of life. Dr. Amr never directly told me anything anyways. I told the lady at the counter that she said occlusal to the hygienist, she’s like yea that’s a cavity. Umm ok I never went to dental school. As someone entering the medical profession I thought that was so unprofessional. That is somethings the dentist should have directly shared with the patient!
The quotes me a price of $ 270 to fill my two cavities and the offer would last until May. She said she gave me a discount, which I believe because after comparison it’s a decent price. Not a huge bargain, but cheaper than a lot of places.

I bought a groupon for a teeth cleaning + Xray and tried to schedule an appointment, but they were booked for the next 2 weeks. I asked to be called if anyone cancels their appointment, and they did! Everything worked out as planned. Also, Dr. Amer and the staff are very friendly and are incredible in what they do. I would definitely recommend them.

Very impressed. I have had a ton of dental work and have all crowns and veneers. One of my teeth underneath a crown fractured. I decided with Dr. Amer to have her make me a 3 tooth bridge. She did a great job and it only required 2 visits. My bite is perfect and the color matching she did is fantastic.
I would highly recommend Dr. Amer to anyone seeking a great dentist, who charges fees that are more than reasonable. Estelle and the other employees have a great attitude and make you feel like you have been going there for years.

Kindest staff and did a great job helping my grandma out with a teeth cleaning and X rays for her teeth! We came around a half hour late so were unable to get her the exam that day but they said we can come back another time for the exam and were very understanding and nice! Definitely will be going back!

I have nothing but great things to say about this office. I decided to go to Dr. Amer after finding a groupon deal and having a not so great experience at the DDS I have through my insurance. I am so very happy I found them. Booking an appointment with Estelle was a breeze, and she gave me all the necessary details at the time I called to schedule. (Location, parking, etc) The office is located off Irvine Blvd, a quick 30 seconds or so from the 55fwy. Parking is located in the rear of the building, and patients enter through the back. The office is easy to find, smaller in size, and very tidy. Estelle was very friendly and welcoming (just as pleasant, if not more, as when I first called) and after a small amount of paperwork, I was taken back to start my cleaning. Tiffany took very good care of me; she was kind as well as informative. After my thorough cleaning (which impressed me as I did come in on a groupon) I met with Dr. Amer. Dr. Amer greeted me with a smile and took the time to explain what she had seen on the X-​rays, as well as during the examination. She has a very caring demeanor, and I felt at ease with her. I never once felt like I was being treated differently b/​c of the groupon deal, nor did I feel as though I was being «up-​sold» at any moment. Like I said before, I have insurance, but unfortunately the office doesn’t take the HMO I regrettably signed up for. That doesn’t matter, however, because I will be returning within two months for additional services that I will be paying cash for. Yes… the staff, physician, and services were that good. I am very happy to have found this office, and as crazy as it sounds, look forward to my next dentist appointment. Thank you Estelle, Tiffany, and Dr Amer for taking such good care of your patients!

I can’t thank Dr. Amer enough. My crown fitting went smoothly, the local anesthesia surprisingly went even more smoothly, she is so hospitable, and I was left with a great dental experience to share with my friends. I truly appreciate her skill. Referring everyone I know to her and looking forward to my Invisalign this week!!!

I have been to a lot of dentist and this staff was awesome! They were all very friendly and answered all my questions. My teeth feel great and they were extremely efficient! I think I just found my new permanent dentist! Thank you!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Amer yesterday, and I could not have had a better experience. Estelle at the front desk is warm and welcoming right off the bat. I’m pretty shocked with any negative reviews made about her since she’s friendly and helpful from the initial phone call to leaving the office. Kelly, my hygienist, was incredible. I told her about my fear of x-​rays, and she made it so easy. The cleaning was quick and painless. Dr. Amer is so informative and honest. I highly recommend choosing her as your primary dentist. I avoided the dentist for a few years (eek, I know) because I have major anxiety surrounding it. Now, I have a couple procedures coming up, and I’m actually totally as ease about them.

I had the best first experience with a new dentist today. It began with their office manager over the phone. Estelle, is awesome and a believer. We hit it off quickly, her professionalism and concern for my welfare was awesome. Green Leaf Dentist is natural and holistic in their approach to dental services. Dr Amer was awesome too, she was full of personality and really listened and took her time. They also have a referral program, so if you mention my name you will get $ 50 in your dental bucket to pay for work. I had my cleaning with Wendy, and asked to have my scaling done manually since I am very sensitive and she worked on me without the machine for a long while getting to know me. It was awesome!

I only gave 1 star because 0 stars was not an option. HORRIBLE! I purchased a Groupon that had expired. I called and spoke with Estelle, the receptionist. I explained to her that my Groupon had expired and was going to ask how much a cleaning was so I could apply the Groupon dollar amount towards the service. Before I could finish, she cut me off and said «there’s nothing I can do for you if your Groupon is expired». I explained to her that I understand and I wanted to pay the difference. She said come in and you can pay $ 29.00. Great! I made an appt. for the next day. I said if I needed additional services I wanted to apply my expired Groupon amount. She had no idea what I was talking about. HELLO?! You don’t know how Groupon works? I showed up the next day to a canceled appt. She said she called me but THAT WAS A LIE! I even held my phone up to her to show her there were no voicemails from their number. I drove all the way from HB, got a babysitter just to be told my appt was canceled because it was double booked.
Estelle is rude! Heed with caution!

Five stars all the way around. This business is a class act! From reception to exit a wonderful experience. I am actually looking forward to my next visit. I am like most people, afraid of the dentist! It can be a frightening place sometimes! The energy in this office is warm and caring. I can’t say enough about each and every staff member. Estelle at the reception desk is a kind and empathic soul… loved her immediately! Then came Wendy, the hygienist. She was equally kind and gentle and kept me distracted by talking to me while she cleaned my teeth. Very pleasant experience.
Dr. Amer was over the top! Loved this woman immediately! She is a caring dentist that easily connects with her patients. She has an easy smile and a giving heart. I felt at ease every step of the way here. I highly recommend Fresh Leaf Dental for anyone who has been avoiding the dentist due to fear and anxiety. My daughter came here first and just kept going on and on about the staff here until she finally convinced me to make that dreaded appointment. I admit I was very resistant and did not want to go but my daughter had been there several times and she seemed okay… lol. Besides, she just would not let up on getting me to go. I am so grateful to have found Dr. Amer and her wonderful staff. Best dental experience ever!
The office is clean and there was no waiting. No time to worry myself into oblivion… lol. Great find.

I found this place when I needed to have a crown replaced. I was in desperate need of getting my tooth fixed and looking for a place in the area I live. I called Fresh Leaf Dental told them my situation and they were able to squeeze me in that week! Dr. Amer and her staff were very friendly and helpful. Dr. Amer was able to replace my crown in a timely matter. I am very satisfied with her work. Their prices were extremely affordable and quality work. I would recommend this place to friends, family or anyone in need of a good dentist!!! It’s refreshing to find quality, honesty and great service in a local business! Thank you for making my experience a really good one!

I found Fresh Leaf Dental by looking at Groupon & reading online reviews. They had the best reviews, but most importantly I read that Dr. Amer & all of her staff were gentle & kind. I had been avoiding the dentist for years after a painfully bad experience with my last dentist.
I have to mention that when you make an appointment they will call if they have an earlier opening, which is an amazing feature. My first interaction was with Estelle when I called for an appointment and that was my first indication that I was in good hands. She is a true professional and absolutely wonderful. Thanks to Dr. Amer and her staff I am actually happy to go to the dentist, which I never thought I would say. All of the staff are patient, compassionate, and most importantly so very knowledgeable at their jobs. They take the time to explain & walk you through procedures. I explained to them that I have fibromyalgia which makes me hypersensitive, they emphasized on being gentle. When Wendy cleaned my teeth, she really went above and beyond making me feel comfortable. I needed a partial crown, which turned into a full crown (my tooth was worse than could be seen). Dr. Amer is amazingly kind, personable, and an incredible dentist. She walked me through everything, helped me be at ease. Even when I had to get shots, she was as gentle as could be. Connie was absolutely fantastic, she truly helped put me at ease when I got nervous (unfortunately my last bad dentist experience still left me nervous at times despite my complete and utter trust in Dr. Amer & all the staff). I honestly still can’t believe what a pleasant experience it was, I mean it’s dental work!
Also I have to add that when you walk in it’s like a breath of fresh air, it is welcoming with warm contemporary décor. When you go into the exam room you get pleasantly surprised by the continuing décor mixed in. You get a nice view of growing vines (looks like a hedge a bit). Personally I always found typical exam rooms to be uncomfortable & unpleasant. Not the case here.
I really can’t say enough nice things about Fresh Leaf Dental, they are the BEST! Thank you again!!! I shall be recommending them everyone!
