Fantastic experience: I'm so happy with this practice after my last dentist lied to me about having a cavities and needing work and then trying to sell me on excessivly expensive treatments and special fillings that cost $1k. That dentist by the way is California Dental Care in Rancho Cucamonga. I went to this practice and they informed me that not only did I not have the cavities the previous place claimed but that I didn't need any of the work they also claimed I needed. They even noticed that the retainers that provider had given me were allowing my teeth to move. Haven't had any issues since going here. They are fantastic and trustworthy!
Fantastic experience: My family and I have been going here for a long time. It is always a great experience if you can say that re a dental visit. We always trust their procedures and recommendations. Always professional and have a way of making you comfortable. Have sent several family and friends for treatments.
Fantastic experience: For over 20 years in this office, every time I need to sign certain papers before I was lead to the room. This time today at 11 am perhaps due to my 5 minutes late , I do not have to sign and went to the room right away. Today is my half yearly normal cleaning, no special or extra things to take care, after when I leave I reminded them to let me sign back the paper, she said is ok because everything is the same , no change is ok without my signing on the paper, so perhaps this is some special I never come across. Seems more elastic! But only if we can trust each other is no problem. If not might have arguments or problem exists without signing in today for my normal cleaning. Thankyou ! 7/24/2026.

Fantastic experience: I just moved from FL to the Monrovia area and needed to find a new dentist. I researched dental practices online and chose Monrovia Dentalcare. Turned out to be a very wise choice. The reception staff was friendly and efficient. I waited less than 5 minutes before the hygienist came to get me. She was friendly and got right to work taking a full set of baseline X-rays. My dentist was Dr. Jane Refela. She was very professional and personable. She worked efficiently and explained everything she was doing throughout. An overall great experience given it was a visit to the dentist! I would highly recommend Monrovia Dentalcare and Dr. Refela.

Fantastic experience: Everyone in the office is so sweet! I’ve been going to this office fir15 years and the service just gets better every time.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful Dr Dao and office staff. Highly recommend their services.
Fantastic experience: Best dentist ever. Good hands and great knowledge that you can ever ask for. Been my dentist for the last three years.
Fantastic experience: Very pleasant experience. Dr. Rafella is so gentle and always asking how are you doing. She is very efficient and detailed but never longer then 45 min or so for a cleaning.
Fantastic experience: We love the attention and care the team always gives us. Friendly welcome and excellent service.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dao and her team are always great, helpful and sensitive to my needs. Been going to her for many years and look forward to many more.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time here in Monrovia Dental Care office. I'm treated with kindness and professional treatment. I needed a root canal and the dentist knew it was bad, so I have an appointment for a root canal. Which my previous dentist couldn't care for 4 months.
Fantastic experience: "I recently visited Monrovia Dental Care and had an outstanding experience. Dr. Rafela and the entire staff were incredibly professional and attentive. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and at ease. Dr. Rafela did an amazing job with my dental procedure, ensuring I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The facility was clean, modern, and well-equipped. I highly recommend Monrovia Dental Care to anyone in need of dental services. Thank you, Dr. Rafela, for your exceptional care!"
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dao is the best. I live in Northridge and I choose to drive all the way to Monrovia because Dr. Dao is a Dr. who cares, does not recommend unnecessary treatments, speaks from personal experience with her own oral care, and I wouldn’t change her for any other dentist. I vistes other dentists throughout the years because I thought the distance was too far, but i ended up paying for all these extra treatments, and ended up feeling more like an ATM than a patient. That is not the case with Dr. Dao, I have been under her care on and off for about 15 years and I would absolutely recommend her. She is a compassionate medical professional and not a money-hungry individual like a lot of dentists out there. The staff are also very nice, attentive, and respectful. I appreciate that they don’t have conversations amongst themselves when a patient is waiting by their front desk, that level of attention goes a long way. Great customer service.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been coming here for 14+ years. I’ve moved and still drive 45 miles just for Dr. Dao. Love their office. Staff is always so nice.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Dao is the best! She is very kind and very thorough. I always trust that she is taking good care of my teeth. Just a truly wonderful dental experience.
Fantastic experience: They are beyond amazing. Dr. Refela is always nice and explains everything. The staff are very nice and accommodating. My whole family goes to her, even my kids love going there.

Fantastic experience: Great experience. My teeth and gums are healthier because of them
Fantastic experience: I can't say enough good things about Dr Dao and the team at Monrovia Dentalcare. I came in with tooth pain and was very nervous, but Dr Dao immediately put me at ease. She is incredibly knowledgeable, conservative and extremely detail-oriented. She took the time to thoroughly explain what was going on, walked me through my options and never made me feel rushed or pressured into treatment, which I appreciate! Dr Dao genuinely wants what's best for patients. The entire staff is amazing- friendly, professional and welcoming the moment you walk in. Everyone is kind and attentive. If you're looking for a skilled, honest dentist who truly cares, look no further! I'm so grateful to have found this office and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an exceptional dentist! Thank you Dr Dao and the team at Monrovia Dentalcare!

They calmed down my nervous and fear by providing great “CARE” as their signature DentalCare.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Lan Dao is a smile transformation pro! She has exceptional skills and expertise in cosmetic dentistry. Dr. Dao’s precision and eye for detail is unmatched!

Negative experience: odd experience. i was calling around to find a dentist. i called here and asked if she could verify this is an in network dentist for dental dental ppo. she said that she would need to schedule me an appointment first before she can check. i said okay that’s fine. she said “but the first one isn’t until a month from now!” (like hoping i said okay nvm lol) so i said okay that’s fine. then she took down my insurance information and said she’d have to call me back to check if this was in network. i asked how long that usually takes, she said a week or two. i said okay thanks bye. but then, i called the next dentist on my list. and somehow that person was able to check while on the phone with me that that dentist was in network, i scheduled an appt and just like that i had a new dentist.
Fantastic experience: My daughter highly recommend me to go and see her Dentist at Monrovia Dentalcare after having been told that I needed a lot of work done on my teeth. I am so glad I did, turned out that I didn't need to have as much as they said I needed. The dentist are very upfront and honest.
Fantastic experience: As always, they are great, fast, and easy.
Fantastic experience: A year ago I found this gem of a Dental office while searching on google for the best place to take my 70yr old hispanic mother that was very set in her old ways of traveling to Mexico for dental care. I decided to wait long enough to give my honest review of this office and Dr. Dao. The staff and Dr Dao have been amazing. My mother feels very comfortable coming here. She loves how friendly Dr Dao and her team are, and how well they explain everything. They have Dental assistants who speak Spanish, and Dr Dao understands and speaks some as well so the language barrier was never an issue. I highly recommend Monrovia Dental Care. Dr. Dao is very professional and highly knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience: This is a pleasant and trustworthy office with great employees. Dr. Dao is extremely knowledgeable, and everyone treats patients with care and respect.
Fantastic experience: Great dentist office!

Everything was explained clearly, and they really took their time to make sure I understood the treatment and felt at ease.

Fantastic experience: I have been to a lot of dental offices over the years and Monrovia Dentalcare is the best yet. Dr Dao is the most professional, honest and caring dentist I have ever seen. I would highly recommend this office.
Fantastic experience: I was so very pleased that Dr. Dao was able to graciously fit me in to her busy schedule on what was to me, an extreme issue. I emailed the office on a Sunday evening explaining my issue and was contacted first thing on Monday morning. Her staff efficiently and quickly scheduled the appointment. One of my biggest fears is the dentist. The staff are so kind, gentle and patient. They quickly addressed my issue.

Fantastic experience: Great Customer Service Awesome Staff Been coming here for year and refuse to change dentist. The receptionists in the front is awesome very helpful and very kind.
Positive experience: Used to feel safe and comfortable here. However my last visit was very impersonal. The gentleman who took me back did not give me a sense of comfort. The hygienist who assisted was new and gave very little directions on what to expect. Just said open here and put this on boom X-rays. Little disappointed today.
Fantastic experience: My husband and I get anxiety going to a dentist. Our old dentist constantly charged us for services that were never done; over priced; long wait even if it was just for cleaning (no less than 2 hours); and awful bed side manner. Last year, a friend recommended us this Dental clinic. The receptionist was very pleasant and patient when I made an appointment. On the day of my appointment, I walked in and the office was clean, like new. Dr. Refela introduced herself and went on with the procedure. My teeth are not the prettiest, but she made sure I understood the procedures being done. She used visuals as she thoroughly explained what was happening to my teeth. During check-up, she made sure the water she used on me were warm enough to not feel any sensitivity. Dr. Refela was very mindful about her patient's need. My first root canal was a good experience, too. The specialist was just as awesome! Many people have said there's pain after, not me. I dont wish to have another root canal, but the specialist did not traumatize my first experience. If you're looking for a trustworthy dentist, this is it!
Fantastic experience: I’ve had lets of dentists over my lifetime but Dr Lau is a truly a gifted dentist that makes you feel comfortable and informed of the work to be done during the visit and she always gets the iob done with minimal discomfort.

Fantastic experience: Every single time I come here, a checkup, the service is not only fast, but the staff is very welcoming,caring and every single staff member assisting the doctor with my treatments truly put comfort above everything else to a point where I found myself snoring after a few seconds and that never happens to me in any medical setting, and I would definitely recommend this dentist to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Dr Dao and the team are always a pleasure to see. As a kid, I was always terrified of the dentist, so it's nice to feel so positive before and after a visit to Monrovia Dentalcare. Absolutely everyone here is professional, efficient, and reassuring. I have 100% faith in this practice and would take my teeth no where else as long as they are around and willing to see me. Thank you so much for being some of the best healthcare professionals I've seen in my life and continuing to keep my teeth happy and my anxious brain reassured that all is well with my oral hygiene. If you are skeptical or new to the practice, give them a chance and I can confidently say you won't regret it. And for those of you that are scared of the dentist, let Dr Dao and her wonderful team change your mind! P.S. The office is also beautiful and easily one of the cleanest and most elegant looking places I've been in healthcare. You can tell that they take extreme care in everything they do just by walking in and taking a look around.
Fantastic experience: Visiting the dentist is never fun. However, the professional, efficient staff at Monrovia Dental Care make the visit easy. I never wait and am always treated kindly. This past visit I saw Dr. Chen. He explained exactly what would take place, attended to my comfort during treatment and gave clear, concise directions for aftercare. Thanks Monrovia Dental for taking good care of me.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Dao and the staff at Monrovia Dentalcare were very nice. I am now a new client and very happy
Fantastic experience: My wife and I have been going for years and can't wait until the kids are old enough go. Hands down the best dentist and office I have experienced in my 25 years in LA county. I still drive from Pasadena to Monrovia because I am not giving this up. Dr. Refela is the best dentist I have ever had. Small example. Filling falls out on a Sunday night. I called when they opened Monday and I was fixed up and out and barely late for work. They are the best
Fantastic experience: I love coming here and that is so hard for me to say considering it's the dentist. I find it so aversive but not here. All the staff are super friendly friendly and helpful. Dr. Refela is always so thorough and upbeat as well. I will continue to come here and have recommended family and friends too.
Fantastic experience: Thorough and comprehensive dental cleaning in a professional environment. I felt at ease and taken care of.
