This was hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a dentist. From the staff to the dentist, everyone was super nice and made me feel comfortable! The office smells nice and is very clean and orderly. I was tended to as soon as I walked in. I have a lot of anxiety and fears of the dentist that stem from childhood and honestly, I’m really looking forward to going back to get all my dental work done. It’s even affordable which was something I was worried about. If you’re looking for a gentle dentist, a caring dentist, a dentist who actually explains everything to you, Dr. Juarez

This is by far the best dentist I’ve seen. Dr. Juárez is very professional, and attentive to his patients needs. His staff is also very kind. I feel the service simply could not have been better.

Best dentist our family has every gone to. He is all about no pain and making his patients comfortable. Years ago my daughter had a very deep cavity. He filled it on a Friday and gave me his home and cell numbers. He said if she had any pain to call him anytime even 3am and he would meet us at his office. Who else would do that for their patients? He's the best!!!

DR. JUAREZ has been my dentist since he had his office in Monterey/ Alhambra. I have all my teeth since I was a teenager. Now I am 71 yrs
If it wasn't for Dr. Juarez I probably would have false teeth. So I strongly recommend Dr. Juarez.

The greatest, nicest and friendliest dentist you will ever meet. He was really gentle and explained everything that he was doing to my 4 year old son for his checkup. I high recommend him to be your dentist. He fixed a cracked tooth that I had and it was such a great experience.
