James B. Lee, D.D.S. - Lakewood, California

Amber W.

As the majority of his patients have shared, Dr. Lee is very patient, caring, and thorough. I was referred to Dr. Lee by a friend and long time patient after my crown kept popping off during routine cleanings. The previous dentist didn’t shape the tooth properly. Dr. Lee reinforced the tooth and now I’m good to go. The reason I decided to write this review is because I have Extreme trauma around dentists. Bad experiences with a root canal. Now it’s virtually impossible for me to get work done without Nitrous (gas). I was so wound up when Dr. Lee pulled out the drill. I was gripping the chair handle. He stopped immediately and asked if I was in pain. I wasn’t; I was just bracing myself. He made sure the area was well numbed. It took a minute but once I was confident I couldn’t feel any pain I relaxed a little. I’ve had to return 2 more times and each time he explains everything he is doing, and makes sure I’m numbed. He takes pride in his work and I never feel rushed. I don’t have dental insurance and drive an hour for my appointments. And it’s worth it!

Dr. Lee is a wonderful dentist. I would have given him a 5 star review but I’m concerned about his assistants. Gizela seem very unhappy, unkind and doesn’t care about Dr. Lee’s patients. She didn’t introduce herself when assisting him at my first appt. She just sat behind me an stared. I was so uncomfortable. At my second appt. she came in the room and proceeded to do the same thing. I asked her if she spoke English and she said “yes, English and Spanish.” Once the Dr. began to work in my mouth she started suctioning my lip instead of suctioning the water out of my mouth. Very rude of her. I then ask that he replace her with someone else. Gizela is a liability to this office.

I went to this dentist for several years without any problems. My last appointment, June of this year, I was told that my teeth looked good and there were no problems. Less than 6 months later I went to a new dentist due to a change in insurance. I was told by the new dentist that I had several cavities and may even need a root canal. It became clear to me that Dr. Lee was overlooking problems I had with my teeth or just wasn’t aware of the problem to begin with. Sadly, after many pleasant experiences at this dentist office I would not recommend it because they will leave you with many unsolved problems. I sincerely hope that my case was just an oversight and not the doctor intentionally ignoring problems that I had with my teeth.

I Have be going to Dr. Lee's office for over a year, and always have been happy with his services and how gentle he is, always try to make his patients as comfortable as possible. My husband, who is terrify of dentist went to see him recently and couldn't stop saying how gentle he was and the work was wonderful , since he had not seen a dentist for long time and has some extraction done by another dentist, Dr. Lee made him a partial that was complicated but very helpful for my husband. He kept on saying that Dr. Lee was the only dentist that he will see. My daughter and husband and two children refer us to Dr. Lee, she too was always afraid of dentist, but with Dr. Lee she feel very comfortable and will not go see any other dentist.
For the staff at the front office, we always have been greeted with a smile and always ready to help accommodate our schedule for appointments , they are friendly and always accept my husband humor with a response.
I will refer Dr. Lee to anyone who needs a really good dentist and will give his staff an A+.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Lee for many years. He is so kind, gentle, and friendly. Dr. Lee is concientious, practices good sterile techniques and offers explanations for treatment. His staff appear to be well trained, skilled and practice good techniques. We would both recommend Dr. Lee and his staff!
