Fantastic experience: Excellent
Fantastic experience: I wrote the comments below over 3 years ago and I’ve been a patient ever since. Every one of the comments still apply today. Dr. Alvarez has transformed my appearances by giving me the beautiful smile I’ve always dreamed of. Dr. Alvarez and her team are exceptional!!! I have spent a LOT of time in the dental chair so I think it’s safe to say I’m an expert reviewer. My first visit to Dentist 4U was when an old crown fell off. My dentist at that time was not available. Dr. Alvarez was my 4th or 5th call. Even though I wasn’t a patient they fit me in. The office staff showed so much care and concern. Dr. Alvarez assured me she could take care of my emergency. That day I became a patient of hers. REASONS TO GO TO DR ALVAREZ: • The wait time is always short • Dr. Alvarez takes time to explain what she recommends and why • Fransuri is an excellent Dental Assistant. • Parking is convenient •Spanish speaking staff # 1 Reason to go to Dentist 4U - YOU WILL HAVE A BEAUTIFUL HEALTHY SMILE!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Dentist 4U is great! From the front desk personnel to the hygienist - a wonderful personal touch. Dr. Alvarez is absolutely fantastic. She has a very gentle touch and bedside manner. I would highly recommend Dentist 4U to anyone.
Fantastic experience: My favorite people!

Fantastic experience: The best dentist in all the world! I am very happy with the Dr. Martha Alvarez and her professionalism!
Fantastic experience: I recently moved back to the area and was looking for a primary dentist in Mission Viejo — I’m extremely glad I chose Dr. Martha Alvarez. She is incredibly sweet, friendly, and genuinely cares about her patients. Her entire team, from the assistants to the front desk, is just as welcoming and professional. I’m especially impressed by the quality of care. Dr. Alvarez is unbelievably gentle — I’ve left other dentist offices in the past with soreness or discomfort, but never here. She takes her time, explains everything clearly, and makes sure you feel comfortable throughout the entire visit. I also really appreciate the transparency. They take thorough X-rays and detailed photos of each tooth, and walk you through anything that needs attention so you always know exactly what’s going on with your dental health. If you’re looking for a dentist who is honest, gentle, and truly exceptional at what she does, I can’t recommend Dr. Martha Alvarez enough.
Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing dentist and team! Dr. Martha L. Alvarez and everyone at Dentist 4U are kind, professional, and truly care about their patients.

Fantastic experience: Dr Alvarez is the best dentist I’ve ever had. She’s painless and she has made my smile youthful as she promised!
Fantastic experience: The staff was pleasant and professional and the Dentist was wonderful. I would fully recommend.
Fantastic experience: I have been going to many dentist offices lately and I wasn’t happy then I went to see Dr. Alverez and needed some extractions. I was nervous but amazing treatment. I had the extractions on Saturday expecting pain, but there was none. I took Advil at night and haven’t needed it since.!! The office staff is wonderful. They work with you through everything, best dental treatment I’ve ever had and believe me I’ve had a lot!!
Fantastic experience: The office has a pleasant, friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Dr. Martha L. Alvarez is remarkable and provides clear explanations. I have never felt so comfortable visiting a dentist's office. Highly recommended, a perfect score of 10 stars ⭐️ would be given if I could.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Martha is a wonderful dentist. She is very kind and speaks softly to her patients. She keeps cold water and free coffee for everyone. The clinic is always very clean. Her hands are gentle, so I do not feel much pain. Her assistants are also polite and kind. I am very thankful to have Dr. Martha as my dentist.
Fantastic experience: I love the atmosphere here, and the staff is so friendly. I’ve been going here, since I was 15. I’ve had such a good experience with this dentist office.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dental for U! The staff is incredibly accommodating and professional. The doctor is one in 1 million beauty and brains. She really take your time. You can tell that she cares. I highly recommend and look forward to going back. I have referred her to my father and to my son. I love this office!!
Fantastic experience: After some failed surgeries and a frustrating experience with other dentists, decided to go to Dr Alvarez since we’ve known each other for many years and I know the quality of her work. I felt taken care of and listened. Still working on my teeth issues, but I already feel confident and positive about it.
Fantastic experience: Always a good experience here.
Fantastic experience: Very professional and easy going and the Dr. Herself, Dr. Álvarez is kind, super helpful and detailed with her explanations and going over steps and procedures. I've been looking for a good Dr. For a while, someone to connect with and that would be kind to my child.
Positive experience: Dr. Martha L. Alvarez Is amazing and is such a sweet woman. She makes sure I am feeling comfortable and am aware of what we are doing when I am there for every visit. Her front desk assistant, Bri or Briana is very rude and a little unprofessional when it comes to relaying pricing, asking for a copy of your receipt, making appointments basically she was rude with everyone in the office. If you can get over her in the front you will love your appointment
Negative experience: No honesty, enter at your own risk! She will tell you what she's going to do, and after she will do something else without your permission; also, she does work that you don't need. She doesn't care putting you in pain. Just to make more money from insurance. Watch out
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience. They were patient, friendly, and well organized too.
Negative experience: They tried to upsell me on services that I didn't need. They said I needed like 12-15 crowns and fillings. None of my teeth hurt or bothered me. I went to other dentists and they all said I only needed 3-4 teeth fixed.
Fantastic experience: I was a bit nervous going into the dentist but all doctors and staff made me feel extremely comfortable with my procedures. I had my 4 wisdom teeth removed in one day which was shockingly quick, the anesthesia took longer than the procedure. I healed up nicely with all the aftercare provided. I then continued to receive treatment with fillings which was very nicely done. I can recommend this location for it is affordable, takes insurance, and the customer service and client care is very kind and friendly. Thank you Dentist and Dr. Martha especially for her kindness and attentiveness.
Fantastic experience: Love Dentist 4U!..Best teeth cleaning ever! 5 STARS!!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Alvarez and her team at dentist4u are the best. As someone who has had bad experiences with different dentist offices all over the OC I can confidently say this office is golden, the team is kind and compassionate and Dr Alvarez always makes the patient feel safe and comfortable. Highly recommend coming here.
Fantastic experience: They really took their time with me to explain what the issues were with my teeth. The dr was very kind and took many ex rays of my teeth, that I could see on the big screen.
Fantastic experience: I have been a patient of Dr Alvarez for at least 15 years. I drive over a hour from North Orange County just to see her. Dr Alvarez listens to me, provides me with the amount of education I desire, and treatment plans are made collaboratively. More recently, I have been seen by Daniel and he is equally exceptional! Staff is amazing! I highly recommend Dentist 4U !
Fantastic experience: I'm even more impressed with this dental office. I brought my 93 year old wheelchair bound Mom in for her 6 month cleaning. We arrived a little early and they took us right away. Having the office be on time seems so unusual these days!! I sooo appreciate it!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient for 15+ years. Dr. Alvarez is amazing and all her staff.

Fantastic experience: I have been to this office for more than 20 years and every year the experience gets better and better. Dr.Martha Alvarez is simply the best in OC
Fantastic experience: “Exceptional Dental Care and Outstanding Service!” I cannot recommend Dentist4U highly enough! From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed with warmth and professionalism. Eddie handled everything from setting up the appointments, communicating with insurance and exploring payment options with third parties. I couldn’t have possibly done the financial part without him. He really listens and has the sweetest personality. The dental assistant, Francis, was always super attentive, kind and efficient. She always made sure I was comfortable and communicated well every process of my treatment. Now Dra. Martha Álvarez. She is not only highly skilled but also genuinely cares about patient comfort. Her attention to detail is immaculate, and her treatment is compassionate and stress-free. She also has the sweetest, kindest personality. The office itself is modern and clean, with state-of-the-art equipment. The appointments are always on time, and the staff works hard to accommodate my needs. I genuinely believe I couldn’t find better dental care in all of Orange County. They’re simply the best.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, amical, Very cordial staff
Fantastic experience: I'm very Happy for a good service. Friendly people. Martha is a very nice dentist. I'm highly recommend Dentist 4 you to All my friends.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful dentist!! Dr Alvarez is gentle and kind. I am so glad I found her. The office staff is friendly. 10/10
Fantastic experience: Initially we arrived at Dentist 4U for my daughter who wanted to see about catching up on dental care and getting information on orthodontic options. She came out raving about the care she received. She'd had some pretty unpleasant dental care elsewhere in the past and said compared to others this was the best Dentist she'd ever met. Since then my husband and myself have gone in and both had fillings done as well as cleanings and just as my daughter and husband said....totally pain free! The recommendations were pressure free. I was offered all options including the lowest cost ones, something I'd not received at our last provider. ALL work is documented well and she even has a little live camera to show you exactly what needs work. It's all very transparent and I really appreciate that. Her bedside manner is beyond cordial and I get the feeling she really genuinely cares about her patients and the quality of the care she put out into our community. The office staff have all been really great. Everyone seems to have a really caring and friendly attitude. The chemistry seems to work and the positivity is pretty contagious. Again, we didn't have great care like this before so maybe for some it might not feel like a huge deal to some but we are so incredibly grateful to have a trustworthy compassionate provider and team to call our new dentist office. 10/10 reccomend.
Positive experience: The office manager & hygienist was lovely! A little disappointed in the dentist not introducing himself before starting work on my mouth but otherwise, I’m usually ecstatic with their work and service. So far I felt no pain with my wisdom teeth extraction. Amazing!
Fantastic experience: Came here for the first time a few weeks ago for a somewhat dental emergency and they were able to see me and ease my worries! Super friendly staff and dentist!
Negative experience: I felt neglected and that they didn't put in the effort to take care of my needs , NO x rays. They did it last year this year no I'm going to have another dentist who speaks English while working on me I don't understand Spanish felt like I was in a foreign country
Fantastic experience: The doctor and staff are awesome! Very knowledgeable and comforting. I'm glad I found them!!
Fantastic experience: My words can’t describe how top notch this office is. Dr. Alvarez and her team gave me back confidence that I needed. I do have anxiety due to my previous experience with a doctor that did not do a good job. She was able to give me back my smile. I am very sensitive and exceptionally great dentist of her kind is hard to find. She has amazing and welcoming team. They are all kind, professional and treat patients with kindness and dignity. Zero pain!!! Beautiful natural results! Thank you for all you have done for me I wish that every health sector would offer such excellent and supportive /professional service.
Fantastic experience: Nicest and most efficient dentist i’ve had! Always on top of it no matter how many people are there. very impressed. You won’t be disappointed with them!
Fantastic experience: Very nice & knowledge staff! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Wow this is easily the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Such sweet bedside manner, all of the workers there are friendly and kind and they even took me randomly when I came in on the wrong date for my appointment. Martha Alvarez has such a calming energy, it’s a joy to sit in her chair! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I was very pleased with my first visit. Dr Alvarez and staff were very caring and professional and took their time in explaining things thoroughly which I appreciated
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Dentist4U. The friendly and professional assistants took care of me promptly. This was my first appointment at Dentist4U, and I was there for a six-month cleaning. After DDS Martha Alvarez reviewed my X-rays, she discussed potential issues and recommended treatment, which I appreciated. We also addressed an issue that might have been a problem, but her suggestions resolved that concern. Overall, it was a highly positive first experience, and I recommend Dentist4U if you are seeking a dentist.
Fantastic experience: Always a good visit. I live in Corona and I’m still driving all the way there. They make you always feel comfortable
