Monrovia Modern Dentistry

What is the whole point of making an appointment if you still have to wait 20−30min to be seen! And on top of that another 30 min to see the dentist when they call you. Definitely my last visit everytime I come I always end up here for about 2 hrs for a check up and cleaning.

I highly recommend Monrovia Modern Dentist due the excellent care of every detail during and after your visit. The staff go’s over and beyond to make sure you are fully aware of all procedures taking place.

Excellent dentistry! Dr. Bhatia was very gentle when injecting me with the Novocaine and I greatly appreciated that! Overall, the entire staff at Monrovia Modern Dentistry, are friendly, professional, accommodating, keep you informed of what’s going on at each step of each procedure and they are all awesome at what they each do! =)

There are some nice things about this facility like appearance, cleanliness, and a full staff. The dentist and the hygienist had a good bedside manor.
My qualifications in choosing a dentist were 1) takes my insurance 2) has a trained hygienist to clean your teeth instead of a Dental Assistant or the dentist him/​herself 3) doesn’t suggest unnecessary procedures 4) doesn’t rush and gives thorough care.
My appointment was at 9 am. Since I was a new patient, I arrived at 8:40 am to do paperwork. Unfortunately, I was first called back at 9:45 for x-​rays. I was seen around 10:15 by the dentist who then gave me a list of procedures that she asked me to stay for that morning, including a crown and special periodontal treatments. I told her that I was already there 1.25 hours and wasn’t expecting to spend my whole day there. I also asked to have the hygienist clean my teeth. The hygienist came and he did some «special cleaning procedure» that they waived the fee on, but then sent the dental assistant to clean my teeth. I asked them to send him back to finish the job since I chose this place partly because they have a hygienist.
In between the dentist’s exam and the cleaning you are given time with the office manager who explains your insurance and all the things the dentist recommended for you. The total came to $ 800 of recommendations after insurance, not including a bite guard that she would recommend after the crown was put in. I left at 11:20 am after only getting a cleaning, x-​rays, and a dental exam.
All in all, I feel like every time I go here I will be asked to do some extremely expensive procedures. Everyone was extremely nice, but I felt like I had to ask a lot of questions and make sure I was understanding everything they recommended and then go home and check if these procedures were necessary. I think I’ll call back and cancel my 6 month check up that they scheduled for September to see another dentist and see if I get a different opinion. She seems like she’s a skilled dentist who will give you good care if you want to spend a lot of money and be extremely cautious to the point of spending money on things that your insurance doesn’t cover just to be on the safe side. Unfortunately, I’m not in a position financially to do that. Still on the look out for someone who can meet my criteria!

I think one of the reason why i dont want to go on dental appointment is because of long waiting time and painful xray. But thankfully my insurance carrier referred me here and everything is been a pleasant experience. The xray technicians is so nice and cautious making sure that im comfortable. The doctor explained to me every steps. Everything is awesome from scheduling up to surgery/​procedure. I would highly recommend them.

I saw another dentist just days before an emergency toothache sent me here.
They were much more thorough than the previous dentist, helped me to sign up for a dental discount thing which saved me a couple hundred bucks (no insurance) and the dentist actually listened to my complaints and found the issue, showed me the x-​rays and explained everythihg.
They did full mouth x-​rays, took some photos and even gave me a slip which outlined the other dental work I needed and the costs for it. They outlined the best course of action at the time to fit my budget and didn’t push me to do more than I could afford at the time.
For someone who hasn’t been to the dentist in 6+ years, this was a positive experience.
Oh, editing to add– they also got me in same day within just an hour of when I called.
I will definitely be going back!

Dr. Bhatia is JUST THE BEST!!! I had some dental work at a different office a few years ago that never felt quite right. Dr. Bhatia did an amazing job in getting that fixed. She finished today and I have been feeling so wonderful all day. My bite feels great again. I am truly grateful to her. She is also the nicest person and our entire family LOVES her. We are truly blessed to have found them!!!

Front office staff is really knowledgable and helpful. The team tells you exactly what the cost will be and prioritizes things for you. I really like that they wait for the novocaine to work!

This place is absolutely wonderful. Clean environment. Helpful and knowledgable staff. Would recommend this dentistry to everyone. They accommodate you well and treat you with the upmost respect. I would give more stars if I could. Doctor Herbert was a delight.

Researched right here on Unilocal!SOOO satisfied. Courteous and professional. Clean and friendly– my new best friends

Dear Viewer/​Reader:
I had the privilege of seeing my dentist today! Monrovia Modern Dentistry exceeds Quality and Performance. They are the elite team of the San Gabriel Valley. They are thorough in everything they do; from paperwork to procedures. No surprises — even as they work on you.
I had a truly sincere and human experience. To me, being understood, respected and valued means a lot. It goes without saying, this team is the best.
Today, Dr. K, Luis M. and initials J and A made a world of difference in my life. I hadn’t gone to the dentist in over 2 years! And I drink coffee everyday! Imagine the challenge!!!
After my treatment and deep cleaning, my smile is back. From the bottom of my heart THANK YOU Monrovia Modern Dentistry.
Muah!

After a couple of years, i feel the need to update. While Dr. Bhatia continues to provide exceptional service, the office has declined overall since my first review. I’ve had at least three occasions where i left the office without service after waiting a significant amount of time (30+ minutes). It seems as if the oral surgeon is being overbooked (which for me meant waiting 45 minutes for what would’ve been a15 minute or less consult). Not only is it inconvenient, but i think it’s disrespectful to waste people’s time. There also seems to be high turnover (which isn’t that big of a deal except newer people can be a lot less gentle/​make quite a few mistakes etc). Otherwise, the staff members are all nice.
I’d recommend Dr. Bhatia and the hygenists (connie and a guy whose name i can’t recall). Its inconvenient/​frustrating to have to find another oral surgeon (waiting 45 minutes for a 15 minute consult is not acceptable).

Everyone is very nice there the the crown can be done in né day so we wouldn’t have to make another appointment to come back for it. The x-​ray for teeth is done the new way. I didn’t have to night l bite onto any plastic square. My dentist even knew I dreamt green tea. It’s usually mixed with other drinks, so I don’t know how she knew. After I finish my beginning time here I think my teeth will look and be hoe healthy. H then I would only have to come back 2 times a month for just regular cleaning. Have patience to whoever does to come here. If you have perfect teeth you are lucky and 1 or 2 timed a year isn’t bad :)

High pressure sales and dentistry should NOT co exist. This organization is motivated by sales, not proper care. They use guilt and fear to push unnecessary procedures. I feel like I’m being pressured to sign up for a time share. When all I want is my kids teeth cleaned.

After Bad Experience elsewhere I could not be happier with this Dental office!
I have been using Monrovia Modern Dentistry for about 3 years and will continue due to friendly Professional staff, Clean & Modern office, and Quality workmanship without up-​sells of unnecessary procedures. Connie is the best, when you need Professional Dental Cleaning! *****Gold Stars*****

Love this dentist office for a few reasons:
1. The price for procedure is clearly stated & outlined showing what my insurance pays & what I’m responsible. There has not been any occasion that I was sent an extra bill after I got home, unlike some other dentist offices that I have been.
2. Love my main dentist, Dr. Bahtia. Very professional, patient & genuinely concerned about my teeth/​my health.
3. Never feel pressured to do any procedure from the main dentist without giving a rationale.

The staff are extremely friendly and helpful!
I came in early for my appointment and was seen by my dentist early as well.
The deep cleaning procedure was very through! I believe her name is Connie, very nice and took the time to really make sure my teeth were cleaned well.
Overall a great place!

I saw a general dentist and the periodontist at Monrovia Modern Dentistry. The general dentist referred me to their periodontist (Dr. Yuan) for «deep gum pockets». After I paid for a deep cleaning procedure, the periodontist kept pushing for an invasive and expensive bone graft procedure in each quadrant of the mouth. I got a second and a third opinion from independent periodontists who both stated that the idea of surgery was ridiculous for such a mild case of periodontal disease. Get an outside opinion before you have any procedure done here.

Awesome Dentist office.
I recommend this dental office to the fullest.
I hadn’t been to a Dentist in about 10 years before I came here. Let me tell you I was not let down. This office is clean, staff is super friendly and make you feel soooooo comfortable. Tiffany and Stephanie in the front office are very friendly and helpful. Antonia in the back office seems very experienced and makes you feel comfortable. Here I’ve had general and specialty Work done on my teeth and each doctor worked professionally and gentile. I was satisfied with all the Work I’ve gotten done here.
