La Verne Dental Group

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough wonderful things about La Verne Dental Group. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed, cared for, and genuinely valued. The entire team was kind, professional, and patient, taking the time to explain everything and making sure I felt comfortable throughout my visit. It’s clear that they truly care about their patients not just as customers, but as people. The level of compassion and attention to detail made such a positive impression on me. I left feeling confident that I was in good hands. Thank you to everyone at La Verne Dental Group for providing such a warm, comfortable, and positive experience every visit . I’m truly grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for a dental team they can trust!

Fantastic experience: This dental office is very well kept, the staff are always friendly and there to help. I like to know whats going on with my teeth and they are always willing to explain and answer many questions. Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: I was very reluctant to see a dentist, but I’m so glad I chose La Verne Dental. The entire staff members were so kind and supportive to me. It really felt like family members guiding me through the process. I recommend them to anyone that feels uncomfortable about seeing the dentist. They are all wonderful people and very professional.

Fantastic experience: Recently got work done here. The office is very clean and organized. The consultation and analysis of my teeth was very thorough and I was pleased with how caring they were when discussing my treatment plan. My dental assistants name was Vanessa, she was very kind and very educated as she has been in the dental field for many years. All of the ladies in reception were also very kind and handled both front office tasks as well as incoming calls smoothly and if you've ever worked front office customer service that can be very stressful. Dr. Espinoza treated me, she is very down to earth and discussed all options possible and answered all of my intrusive and spontaneous questions along the way. The office has financing available which is convenient as dental work can add up quickly. This office will be my new primary dental office. 10/10 would recommend.

Fantastic experience: The staff at La Verne Dental are amazing! Friendly, professional, great people!

Fantastic experience: All the staff are great from the front desk to the specialist. Dr Slade is very patient and professional not to mention GENTAL

Fantastic experience: I recently became a new patient at La Verne Dental Group after many years of not recieving dental care. I had alot of anxiety about the dentist in general and how much it may cost without insurance, but neither of those were an issue. The entire staff from the office to the procedure rooms were friendly and comforting. The reccomended procedures and costs were transparent and easy to understand. They offer an annual plan that discounts your procedures and two different options for financing that made it surprisingly affordable and convenient. I had my work done by Dr. Slade, Dr. Desai, Dr. Vohra, and RDH Rodriguez. They were all incredibly friendly and comforting during the procedures as well as getting it all done very quickly. I experienced basically no pain at all and their work was immaculate. My crowns are comfortable and look natural, My extractions healed well, and my oral hygiene has felt better than ever after my cleaning and reccomended home care. I plan on continuing my dental care here for as long as I am able. Thank you, Dr. Slade and La Verne Dental Group! ❤️

Fantastic experience: Wouldn’t go anywhere else for dental care. Great staff, attention to detail! Very caring. Thank you La Verne Dental Group.

Fantastic experience: The best dental office in the area. The staff and the professionals are very helpful and do and Excellent job!

Fantastic experience: I had an appointment today for a teeth cleaning, and my dental hygienist, Angel, did an excellent job! The entire staff is always so welcoming, and I love being greeted with such big, friendly hellos every time I visit. Everyone is kind, professional, and makes you feel comfortable. What a great experience—I highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: I appreciate everyone in the entire office. I have not had a bad visit, and I am never leaving

Fantastic experience: I've always had a wonderful experience at La Verne Dental Group. Everyone is always so friendly.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with their service. As soon as I walked in, I was warmly greeted and attended to right away. The team repaired my cavities quickly and efficiently the entire process was smooth and only took about an hour. Very satisfied with how fast and easy everything was!

Fantastic experience: great service nice workers really caring fast service will get you in and out of the office no pain while getting a cleaning really high technology

Negative experience: Do not believe this. Our grandmother contacted LaVerne Dental group for an appointment. As she made the appointment over the phone, she was asked what insurance she had, and after providing the insurance information, she was given an appointment. At the time of the appointment, she was given x-rays and after the x-rays she was taken in for treatment. After initial treatment she was then taken to the finance department where they immediately signed her up for Smile Care, a $5000 dental card through Synchrony Bank. LaVerne Dental immediately deducted the day's charges from the card leaving our grandmother with an outstanding debt she did not incur. Our grandmother was shocked. She reminded LaVerne Dental of her insurance and was told by the finance person that her insurance wasn't accepted there. She reminded them that when she called to make the appointment, they could have told her that instead of saying yes and setting an appointment. Also, if after taking x-rays they had reviewed a treatment plan with her before providing treatment, she could have declined treatment and walked away without a new debt. Our grandmother had a credit score of nearly 800, now it is 560 because in trying to resolve this issue with LaVerne Dental they took forever to respond. She is currently taking LaVerne Dental to court and has discovered through talking with various lawyers and other dental offices that some dental facilities are unscrupulous and do this to trap people into making payments, particularly seniors. Now her credit is ruined. LaVerne Dental took nearly a year to return the unused portion of the $5000, but too late. Her credit is ruined. We have asked LaVerne Dental since they deceived us by providing false information return the funds the collected for treatment so that my grandmother can pay off this debt. After all, had they been honest in the beginning, and not taken her on as a patient because they did not accept her insurance, she wouldn't be in this boat. Don't just review the 4-stars, review the other reviews also.

Negative experience: I need to update my previous review. My wife had a very disappointing experience at this office, and unfortunately we can no longer recommend it. The visit felt heavily focused on selling additional services rather than providing patient-centered care. The repeated pressure to purchase treatments we were not interested in made what should have been a routine dental appointment uncomfortable and stressful. What was most concerning was the way my wife felt she was spoken to during the process. She left feeling talked down to rather than listened to, which made an already difficult visit much harder. We understand that dental offices need to discuss treatment options, but patients should never feel pressured or made to feel like a revenue source instead of a person seeking care. Based on our experience, we would not want others to go through the same situation.

Fantastic experience: Easy appointment process, thru out the visit. Very satisfied!.

Fantastic experience: Melody is so amazing! She’s so attentive and sweet!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience at LaVerne Dental Group. Everyone was so friendly. Melody was extra helpful and accomodating. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Thank You to the entire team.

Fantastic experience: My favorite dental office staff and hygienist/dentist! They always do the best work and explain everything to you. My hygienist always gives the best at home care recommendations and my teeth/gum health have improved every time I’ve come back for cleanings. Shout out hygienist (Andrina)!! Highly recommend this office!

Fantastic experience: Awesome job done no pain at all and professionally. Dr Slade took care of every single detail that I mentioned Thanks to all the team. I'll definitely recommend it

Fantastic experience: I just am compelled to say how grateful I am to find a dental office with so many good if not great bunch of wonderful workers ie: Rebecca, Melody, Vanessa, Linda and of course my magandang Dentist, Dr. Slade. They are very cordial & welcoming to say the least

Fantastic experience: I was referred to La Verne Dental for a root canal. My root canal was done by Dr. Vohra, she was fast and extremely efficient. I didn’t feel a thing. Then the office was able to provide me with a same day appointment for a crown. The crown was done by Dr. Michelle Slade, she was wonderful. Extremely friendly and gentle. I recommend this office 100%.

Fantastic experience: Everyone I came in contact with was fabulous. I’m always nervous about getting dental work done but they walked me through every step and made sure I was comfortable through each procedure.

Fantastic experience: Interesting, definitely the add on queens, so you can walk in thinking it’s covered by insurance and walk out with a 1k bill. Front desk has high end service with outstanding customer service, and the staff in the back was fantastic, careful, knowledgeable. Overall my experience was A+++- they already scheduled my 3 month follow

Fantastic experience: “I had a great experience at this dental office. The staff was friendly and made me feel comfortable right away. The dentist was very gentle and took the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. The office was clean and well-organized. I usually feel nervous about dental visits, but this one was stress-free. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and professional dentist!”

Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience at La Verne Dental Group. I hadn’t been to the dentist in over five years, and the longer I put it off, the more anxious I felt about going in. I felt embarrassed, and I was worried they would make me feel even worse for waiting so long, but that was not the case at all. The entire staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and understanding. They never once made me feel uncomfortable about my situation. Instead, they focused on helping me move forward in a positive way. They took the time to explain everything clearly, walked me through each step of the process, and checked in often to make sure I was comfortable. They were also able to complete a lot of the work I needed on the same day, which I appreciated. Overall, I’m so grateful I chose La Verne Dental Group—they turned something I had been dreading for years into a genuinely positive experience. I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you’ve been putting off dental care and are feeling nervous about getting back on track.

Negative experience: I had one of the worst experiences I’ve ever had at a dental office here. From the start, it was incredibly difficult to communicate exactly what I wanted done. Instead of feeling heard or guided, I felt completely boxed in by the dentist’s limited skill set and lack of experience. As a patient, you expect options, clarity, and confidence in the person working on you—but none of that was present. It felt like I had to lower my expectations just to fit what the dentist was capable of, which is unacceptable when it comes to your health and appearance. The overall experience came across as unprofessional, frustrating, and extremely limiting. I left feeling disappointed and honestly irritated that my concerns weren’t properly addressed. If you value clear communication, competence, and having real options in your dental care, I would strongly recommend looking elsewhere.

Fantastic experience: Dr slade and the entire staff from the front desk to the assistants are wonderful! They take their time with every patient and always make you feel comfortable and calm.I never feel judged or embarrassed going to Dr slade. She’s so sweet and is the best dentist I have ever had! Will always go to her and only her!

Fantastic experience: I love this dentistry! All the nurses are so polite.

Fantastic experience: I needed a new dentist and chose to try La Verne Dental. Everyone there is so professional, understanding and kind. they made me feel relaxed and not afraid. I recommend La Verne Dental highly to all .

Fantastic experience: Very professional and knowledgeable. Facility very clean and organized. All staff very friendly and helpful.

Negative experience: Hello April, This is Cynthia’s daughter. I have been trying to reach your office since yesterday regarding the refund that was supposed to be issued to my mom’s insurance after the denture treatment was cancelled. We were previously informed that both my mom and the insurance would be reimbursed. We trusted that this had already been completed, especially since it has been almost a year. However, we are now working with a new dental office, and they informed us that the insurance did not approve the treatment because there is still a record showing the previous denture claim. The insurance frequency is every 5 years, which means my mom would have to wait that long even though she never received her dentures from your office. Because of this, we need to confirm whether the refund to the insurance has already been processed so that her benefits can be restored and she can proceed with treatment. I have called several times and was told someone would call me back, but I have not received a return call yet. Could you please confirm if and when the refund was sent back to the insurance, and provide any documentation or reference number if available? Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated, as this situation is currently delaying her dental treatment. Thank you.

Fantastic experience: I came from another dentist at a friend’s recommendation and I was absolutely Amazed at how professional everyone is here! Dr Slade, assistant Grey, receptionist Melody and most of all my hygienist Adrina are my new friends. Full of compassion and kindness, it does not get any better than this. I highly recommend to anyone who is apprehensive about dental work to let this group care for you. You will be amazed!!! I promise!!! I returned today to have my left side molar extracted. This was the reason for my first appointment to get a second opinion and La Verne dental was correct. It did need extraction and my hygienist also found I was a victim of periodontal gum disease and gave me a prophylactic plan to reverse this. They are experts at gum issues. They have the knowledge especially if you have medical conditions where gum disease is bad and Dr Choe is a periodontal surgeon and he explained every step while extracting molar. Can’t thank you enough for making this a comfortable experience. Compassionate and caring are the staff. Now I heal and prepare for my implant.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with this dentist. Lilah was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend coming here for your dental work. The whole staff is very friendly.

Positive experience: The people are great and I have no problem with the treatments but the wait time is ridiculous. I had a 10am appointment for cleaning and a check up and I didn’t leave until 11:35 ….way too much waiting around.

Fantastic experience: Everyone was wonderful. April was especially kind and professional. I appreciate the care I received.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff at La Verne Dental Group is amazing! My husband and I are very happy with the entire team here.

Fantastic experience: Dr.slade and Linda were very fast and efficient with my procedure

Fantastic experience: Dr Slade and everyone at La Verne Dental group have always given the best care and reassurance that one would hope for at a dentist! Never any tears or fears here!

Fantastic experience: Audrina was very friendly.She is very thorough and gentle with her work.She was excellent in providing me information on the condition of my teeth.She is the best dental hygienist I've had work on me.

Fantastic experience: My husband and I were looking for a local dentist close to home. From booking, to getting my cleaning I found the experience more enjoyable than expected. The office was clean and booking the appointment was smooth. Mercedes, the hygienist was very knowledgeable and helpful and patient. She taught me how to use the waterpik I had at home and had unknowingly had been using it wrong for years! I felt really taken care of and can’t believe I am saying I am excited to return to the dentist! If you’re on the fence, don’t hesitate to book your appointment/consultation.

Fantastic experience: Mercedes Harrison is the best dental hygienist I have had yet! She took the time to explain what she was doing before she did it and gave me many options to allow me to make an informed decision. If you visit La Verne Dental Group I highly recommend you request her to be your hygienist.

Fantastic experience: Andrina Rodriguez provided excellent service and explained everything before she started. She checked in all throughout and made sure I was happy with her service. I highly recommend Andrina as your personal hygienist!

Fantastic experience: Linda was very kind and helpful.

Fantastic experience: Great dentist office! They always help me out with kindness and a smile on their face. I would recommend this dentist to others

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough great things about this dental office! April is absolutely amazing, she took the time to guide me through my insurance and made everything so easy to understand. The reception staff are always so friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit comfortable from the moment you walk in. Dr. Slade is simply and truly the best, she's kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly careful. I always feel well taken care of and confident in the care I’m receiving. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Yes, this is Police your Venmo I had a wonderful experience today with Mercedes very thorough, very supportive and a lots of care information. Thank you Mercedes.

Fantastic experience: Great staff Hygenist is thorough and explained treatment well.

Fantastic experience: Definitely a great experience with having dental work done at La Verne Dental Group. After not having services done for a while, things are on the up and up for myself. Very happy with the team here! Thank you ladies!

Fantastic experience: I’m very picky when choosing a dentist. But going here I love the staff and the office. Everyone is very nice and the inside is very clean and I love how you are in your own room well having your cleaning done! I highly recommend coming to this dental office.

Fantastic experience: The entire staff, in particular Lili, Rebecca and Meldoy are very professional and personable. Their service oriented approach made for a very pleasant experience.

Fantastic experience: All staff is very nice. When there are treatments for my teeth they always try hard to control any pain.

Fantastic experience: I love this office, the dentist and staff are great. They are so great with my kids and I feel confident with the recommendations they make. I will continue coming here.

Fantastic experience: Great service! My children feel safe and happy to come in. Definitely recommend this place!

Fantastic experience: As a new patient Andrina the hygienist did an amazing job on my deep cleaning procedure today! She gets five stars

Fantastic experience: So very kind, professional and thorough. Thankful to have all my kids be seen here.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Desai was wonderful. He extracted a tooth for my 94 year old mother. He was quick and painless. She didn’t even feel any pain afterwards. He is amazing. Oh, he was also a knowledgeable doctor who knew how not to upset her sensitive stomach.

Fantastic experience: Great dental team! They all make you feel welcomed, at ease and pain free. A comforting experience for me. Thank you all so much!

Fantastic experience: I get embarrassingly anxious going to the dentist, so walking into an appointment usually comes with a lot of stress for me. That was absolutely not the case here. From the moment I arrived, everyone was incredibly kind and patient, from the receptionists and April, to Dr. Slade, the young lady who took my X-rays, and the hygienist. Every single person made me feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease. I never thought I'd say this, but I truly didn't feel stressed at all during my visit. They took their time, explained things clearly, and treated me with so much compassion. It honestly changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. If you're someone who struggles with dental anxiety, I can't recommend this office enough. They made what is usually a very hard experience for me feel calm, safe, and surprisingly easy.

Fantastic experience: It was our 1st visit at this office and I must say. April was extremely professional and wonderful with my children and me. She made our visit comfortable and welcoming and truly cared about our family’s experience. Rebecca was also very professional and great with my children. She was patient, kind, and made our family feel at ease throughout the visit. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Excellent service from everyone at this office! Especially Andrina the hygienist! She's amazing! Definitely recommend!

Fantastic experience: Everyone hates going to the dentist, but going to the right one makes the experience is so much better. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and non judgmental. Dr Michelle Slade is great, ask for her as she is the best and the only dentist i will be seeing from now on. The operations manager, April Lewis, is so comforting and helpful. She breaks down everything, explaining anything and everything as many times as you need while always having a smile on her face. She makes sure you leave without any questions, concerns, worries, or confusion. The dental hygienist Mercedes is so kind and helps you keep a maintenance plan that isn’t overwhelming. She won’t give you a new 10 step nightly routine (unless that’s what you want), she will have you start slow and build up to that routine. Ask her any questions and she’s got the answers/ recommendations for you. I use to put off going to the dentist for as long as possible because even the thought on skin an appointment gave me such bad anxiety, but since i found this team, i have no worries and am happy to make that appointment.

Fantastic experience: Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I had a painless root canal and other dental work done. I would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at La Verne Dental Group! The staff was very welcoming, the office was clean and comfortable, and my dentist took the time to explain everything clearly. I felt completely at ease throughout my visit.

Fantastic experience: My teeth look and feel better than ever, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The entire staff is friendly and supportive, which made the whole process even better.

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love La Verne Dental Group! I am one of those people that’s scared of the dentist and this office is so warm, welcoming, and patient with me. The office manager (whose name I wish I could remember, I’m so bad at names) is flexible and helps me get my appointments as well as finances situated. They accept my insurance which was HUGE for me. And the doctor I see is super personable, informative, and honestly my favorite provider I’ve had in dentistry by far. I’ve already recommended them to friends and family and will continue to do so. Thank you so much for the great care!!!

Fantastic experience: I’ve had such a great experience with La Verne Dental Group! All the doctors here have been amazing with my treatment plan so far — incredibly kind, skilled, and always prompt. A special shout-out to April at the front desk! It’s rare to find dental offices that truly go above and beyond, but April has shown so much care and attention to my needs from day one. She’s been incredibly helpful and welcoming every step of the way. Thank you to the whole team at La Verne Dental Group for making dental visits something I actually look forward to! - T. Anderson

Fantastic experience: I want to thank Laverne dental and especially Linda for all the attention I was given over the last couple of months as created my new partials. Linda always presented herself in a kind and professional manner during my visits. Thank you Linda!

Fantastic experience: My crown work was as close to perfection as could be! From the great fit of the temporary to the wonderful fitting permanent, I could tell this was AMAZING WORK. Dr. Espinoza & Linda provided gentle care that was professional & efficient. They respected my time and gave great recommendations.

Fantastic experience: Without hesitation I rate La Verne Dental Group a 5+ star dental office. Starting with April, the office manager, Dr. Espinoza, receptionist Melody, and including the entire staff of assistants, I have always left La Verne Dental feeling that I have been treated with kindness and received the best care possible. And, as I have observed while waiting in the reception area. They give every patient the same attention and care. Much appreciated!!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this dentist office for years. I was able to come back through my new insurance and I am very thankful for the staff here. April was very kind to me and I appreciate her so much! Highly recommend this dentist office :)

Fantastic experience: Let me first start with how grateful I am for la Verne dental group. They did so good on my teeth and gave me a confidence that I didn't know that I could have. All that happened because of Andrina and the team she has. Andrina made me feel incredibly comfortable and really did a good job at explaining everything. I highly recommend this dental group and if you get Andrina then consider yourself blessed!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Slade is a very great dentist, she fixed what another dentist office did to my teeth, she went about and beyond to make sure I didn’t have a bad experience like I did in the past with the other dentist office. She and her whole team did amazing. I truly cant wait for future dental visits. Dr. Slade, the hygienist and her, xray assistants were very careful and did a great job on my teeth.

Fantastic experience: First time visiting. Had a great experience. Staff very friendly. Got a cleaning and a cavity filled. Very quick and painless. Thanks to Dr. Slade and her staff.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Slade and Linda have both been very helpful and professional regarding my crown placement. I would really recommend this dental clinic to everyone.

Fantastic experience: First time there on August 11,2025 I had to have two old fillings replace they were cracked... saw Dr. Slade she was great! I also liked the x-ray tech Linda... she did a good job as well... I was a little nervous and she was so patient with me. All the staff at the office was very nice.

Fantastic experience: Such a friendly and caring office! Melody at the front desk always greets me with a smile, and April, Nicole, Lily, Dr. Slade, and Dr. Espinoza all make every visit comfortable and stress-free. You can tell the whole team truly cares about their patients—I highly recommend them!

Negative experience: I would suggest looking at the Yelp reviews of this place as well as it will give a complete picture of what to expect. I have been with this office for 6 years and the staff is a constant revolving door. I have stayed as a patient for this long due to the convenience that it is very close to my house. Most the dentists have been kind, but a majority have been new grads. I've had good and bad experiences with the newer dentists, but most of my issues are with the office staff. This year alone they have messed up my appointments 3 times where I was booked for a slot that was actually not available and found out when I showed up. Another time I sat outside of the locked office for approx 25 minutes because no one arrived on time to open. I work full time and move my work schedules around my appts which is a pain sometimes to reschedule. For this last incident I was told they called me every day for several days to tell me they tried calling. I have no missed calls or voicemails. I know we have spoken over the phone in the past and they have left voicemails in the past. iPhones do not automatically purge call logs or voicemails. There is nothing in my recent, missed, or voicemail logs for the last month from the office which I do have saved as they have several numbers. The office manager suggested it may have been full, which it wasn't. I was also told that they use a "very advanced" EMR to document and chart. Yes, I know what EPIC is and I also know those are manual entries that don't actually link to an actual call system. The last several incidents of "miscommunication" have really made me question why I am still a patient here because this place is not cheap. Example: my insurance rejected their claim for over $100 for "patient instructions" which were verbal from the hygienist who basically told me to floss. I am very disappointed in my recent experiences as a patient here and hope it improves because Dr. Slade is actually a really good dentist and their hygienist is great as well.

Fantastic experience: I had such a great experience at this dental office! From the moment I walked in, the front office staff was welcoming and professional, making check-in easy and stress-free. April, the office manager, went above and beyond to answer my questions and made sure I felt comfortable with my treatment plan. Dr. Slade and Dr. Espinoza are both fantastic—thorough, knowledgeable, and very gentle. They explained everything clearly and really made me feel at ease. Lily, the assistant, was so kind and attentive during my visit, and Nicole, the health coordinator, did an amazing job making sure everything ran smoothly and that I had all the information I needed for my care. It’s rare to find a dental team that combines skill, professionalism, and genuine care the way this office does. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality dental care.

Fantastic experience: Andrina was super patient and gentle. She communicated all of the steps that she was taking and how to be preventative. I appreciate her expertise and will come back again!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and cared for. April, Nicole, Melody, Lily, and Andrina were all so kind, professional, and attentive, they truly make the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Dr. Espinosa and Dr. Slade are both outstanding dentists. They take the time to explain everything clearly, answer all questions, and make sure you’re comfortable every step of the way. Their work is thorough, and you can really tell they care about their patients’ health and comfort. It’s rare to find an office where the entire team, from the doctors to the staff—goes above and beyond, but this is definitely one of those places. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I had the best experience here!! April the manager is the best. The staff here is so nice. Dr.Espinoza and Linda are so kind. It’s very rare to find a great dentist office so glad I found this one.

Negative experience: RETURN THE HARD-EARNED MONEY THAT YOU OWE MY MOM!!! I am sharing our WORST and disappointing experience which led us to canceling all the future appointments for our family members. La Verne Dental Group used to be great, I was a patient here myself for years but I now highly recommend avoiding this business due to the poor, disrespectful, and frustrating services provided by the new management. My parents, whom I referred, were extremely dissatisfied. If you decline their recommended procedures, they will display an attitude, as seen in my father and mother's experiences. This behavior appears to be driven by financial motivations rather than customer satisfaction. Moreover, my mother had to return MULTIPLE TIMES due to unresolved issues for her new dentures she supposed to get from this clinic (too loose, too tight or misaligned), demonstrating a lack of regard for clients' time. Also to add, the wait time to be seen on every scheduled appointment is way too long. They charged my mother in advance on MARCH 8, 2025 for services not yet rendered, and okay no problem, but to make her go back and forth is not acceptable and frustrating. Wasting her time and effort that led her to breakdown on her last visit, after so many fittings and trials the dentures is misaligned and looked awful! That made her decide to stop and cancel the dentures. That was MAY 13, 2025. APRIL THE OFFICE MANAGER, promised to REFUND HER $500 COPAYMENT and to RETURN THE MONEY TO THE INSURANCE so my mom can still get her denture from a different dental office and she said it is also as per DR. SLADE (their head/boss). APRIL said it would take about 30 days, then to give them another week and week, after that she told my dad my mom is going to get her refund on JULY 4TH, then the last time APRIL told my dad they don’t know anymore “WHEN!!”, and it will depend on their ACCOUNTING. We called them today AUGUST 2, 2025 to ask for the phone number of their accounting, and the lady, Nicole said they don’t have an accounting and it is APRIL THE OFFICE MANAGER who deals with the billing, and she sees no pending refund for my mom. And showing that they are waiting for us to turnover the checks from the insurance WHICH MY MOM ALREADY DID MONTHS AGO. and as per APRIL, they are the one who is going to return the checks to my mom’s insurance. This establishment has provided my family with the worst and traumatic experience we have ever had. This caused significant distress through repeated phone calls. April, the office manager, consistently promised return calls but failed to follow through. It is crucial to be cautious when dealing with this establishment and its staff. Their behavior was consistently disrespectful, including hanging up calls mid-conversation. It is hard to trust them anymore particularly, the office manager who should be professionally dealing with it. IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 3 MONTHS SINCE YOU PROMISED TO RETURN THE MONEY. MY MOM NEEDS HER NEW DENTURES. PEOPLE ARE WORKING HARD TO EARN AND PROVIDE FOR WHAT THEY NEED, YOUR ARE AN ESTABLISHED BUSINESS, PLEASE DON’T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE HARD EARNED MONEY OF PEOPLE, YOU CLAIMED TO BE YOUR PATIENT.

Fantastic experience: I recently started going to La Verne Dental Group and I couldn’t be more pleased with my experience! From the moment I checked in, the staff was friendly and welcoming. The process was smooth and efficient, and the X-rays were done quickly with no discomfort. Dr. Slade was incredibly knowledgeable and thorough, taking the time to explain everything in detail. I felt confident in the care I was receiving, and they really made me feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. On top of that, the pricing was fair and transparent, which was a huge relief. Overall, I’m very impressed and will definitely be returning for future dental care. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a top-notch dentist.

Fantastic experience: I went to La Verne dental from around age 11 to 26 and I’m back living in the area at age 34 and I would never go anywhere else. They always have a friendly and amazing staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to this office for over a year and I am very satisfied with their services. My teeth have never been better. Everyone at the office is courteous and knowledgeable. They have so much patience and they take the time to educate you on things such as flossing correctly. I would recommend them to everyone.

Negative experience: I don’t understand how suddenly I was paying $97 dollars out of pocket every time I went to visit when my copay was meant to be $0 for a simple cleaning(at least for two cleanings a year)? Apparently my standard cleaning was instead periodontal maintenance that wasn’t disclosed explicitly otherwise I would default to a regular cleaning. Within the past two years I’ve had a jaw click that I keep receiving a referral for but every place I’m referred to wrote me off as” non damaging “ I’ve called and complained about this in person. I was a very big fan of this place three years ago so I’m not sure what happened. The front desk passed me off to everyone but no direct answers. I had to call my insurance directly just to find out why the costs were the way they were. The dental hygienist is a sweet woman but even after I told them I had NO MONEY and NO JOB they continued to push for certain things that I just don’t have the money for. This place has changed a lot so I would advise asking for clarity for ALL costs. Original:Love this dental office! Probably the best one I’ve had all together. They don’t charge or do any service with out running it by you first. Then if get okayed by it then they try their best to accommodate your financial position. The staff is friendly and they deal with one problem at a time in a reasonable way. Front desk is really comforting and know how to talk to patients. Fantastic individuals. They helped me out with my wisdom teeth when they were cracking my jaw to ensure that I could heal up properly caught things about my teeth that other dentists ignored and really heard me out about concerns. Great people

Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming to La Verne Dental for years and every time it feels personal and not just another patient. My kids and myself have a great experience every visit, Beautiful and clean office. All staff is friendly and makes the process easy.

Fantastic experience: I’m new since 2024 and I never felt relief by this dental group. I had couple things removed and I’m not even pain the next day. I had couple numbing recently and I come home and take a nap and I wake up no pain. Thank you guys so much for making this dental group team 10/10 I can’t thank you enough. I get all nervous about the pain but when it’s all done no pain

Fantastic experience: Everyone at La Verne Dental Group has been amazing! I’ve seen Dr. Aniwigbo, Dr. Choe, and Dr. Vohra over the past few months, and they’ve all been very thorough and efficient. Dr. Aniwigbo explained her recommendations to me in a very clear way, and I never felt like I was being pressured to spend money. All of the front staff, hygienists, and assistants have also been awesome!

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience here! The office is extremely clean and welcoming, creating a very comfortable atmosphere.
