Alley P John, DDS & Alley J David, DDS

I’ve been coming here for over 15 years. Their service and work is excellent The whole family loves this place.

So my usual dentist, Dr. Mier left, however this place, staff, and the experience, still earns it 5 stars.
I was due for a cleaning and when I first called, they had nothing available for 3 months out. I was placed on a basic on-​call wait list, during my week off, for those patients with last minute cancellations. Low and behold, I got a call yesterday and was seen this morning.
The lobby is always inviting. Plenty of chairs, a magazine rack, some kids toys, decorated nicely, and a kcup machine to boot!
The staff excels in customer service. From their phone calls, to front desk, to dental assistants, and dentists, you feel valued and appreciated.
Nancy was my assistant today and she made the extra effort to get to know me, make me feel comfortable (which included a blanket because I was cold!), and even allowed me to take a selfie with tools in my mouth (yes, I’m THAT social media girl).
If you’re new to the area and require dentistry or are in need of a change, check this place out. They DO NOT accept my dental insurance, and I was still content paying out of pocket. Some things are just more important, and this place earns my money.

If you want a down to earth, professional, compassionate, and very experienced dentist… Then this is your place! Every single employee from the dental assistants, the hygienists, to the front desk staff are kind, pleasant & acknowledge you immediately when you arrive… And much more. This is a family business that runs with traditional values and wonderful patient care. I believe one place in your life not to skimp on care is in dentistry. I have referred so many people to this dental office and they are all impressed & grateful. Be aware that this office runs on a tight schedule, they are extremely busy, and you will never wait for your appointment time as they run a tight ship! I really appreciate when somebody values my time as much as I value their’s! High quality, excellent dental office!

Have been coming here since I can remember! At least 15 years (probably longer, since I was a kid) and absolutely love the staff. I now live 45 minutes away, but still make the drive here! All 3 dentists are absolutely wonderful — the assistants and front desk are top notch. It always boggles my mind how people are afraid of going to the dentist, but I have grown up having such a great experience at this office that I never fear going in for dental work! :)

I have been a patient here for about 12 years. I had been going to another dentist closer to my home because of sensitivity issues. The other dentist was brushing some kind of cadaver bone solution on my teeth to treat it. It wasn’t working well and I swear I was thinking I might be better off without my teeth and have dentures instead. The pain was constant. Any kind of food or drink hot or cold I had to quickly gulp down because when it hit my teeth it felt like an electric shock of sensitivity. Well lucky for me my mother said «why don’t you go to dr. Alley». I live about 10 miles away and thought it was too far but I made an appointment anyway. First of all I walked in the door and saw how nice and well mannered the front desk staff is. Yes I said staff, they have at least 2 people up there pretty much at all times. After seeing dr. John he told me my sensitivity issues could easily be remedied by using some toothpaste high in fluoride. I thought there is no way after what I was going through that using this was going to solve my problem. Well I am happy to say I was dead wrong. After using the stuff for about 3 weeks the sensitivity was gone. He could have easily BSed me and told me I needed procedures like my old dentist but the honesty in this office is impeccable. I have been going here ever since, as does my family and a friend. The hygienists here are also very well trained. They take their time and somehow can clean my teeth with very little pain or discomfort. They are all good but Sam is the best in my opinion. She is so good that you need to schedule far in advance because so many patients want her. Dr. John is nearing retirement age but when and if he does retire his son dr. Dave and the newest doctor, dr. Meir are excellent and will make this practice remain good for many more years. This is a model that all dentists should try to copy. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend this office. The staff is wonderful and Dr. Dave is truly the best dentist I have been to, and he is a wonderful, charitable man. Last time I was there, I overheard the assistants talking about an elderly patient who is unable to take care of himself. They take care of him on a regular, recurring basis at no charge, like he was family.
The dentistry is honest, you can trust their diagnosis where other dentists may push you towards an unnecessary decision. Dr. Dave has a lot of integrity and his work is impeccable. Dentists like him are getting more difficult to find.

I normally use Dr. Dave but have used Dr. Mier in an emergency. They are both FANTASTIC! This is a class act, all 3 dentists and the incredible staff. I can’t imagine ever going to a different dentist, simply the best on all levels.

I’ve been going to Dr. Mier at this location for a few months, and she is WONDERFUL. She’s aware of my needs while she’s working, lets me take a break or rinse or whatever I need. She makes sure I am numb enough to get through the procedure, and works efficiently.
The whole office staff is wonderful. They’re friendly, efficient, and timely: I’ve never waited more than 5 minutes for my appointment.
HIGHLY recommended.

If your anything like me, going to the dentist is a horrible experience. I have feared going to the dentist since I was a kid. The problem is, everyone eventually has to go and sit in the CHAIR! Well after a year of my wife haranguing me to go to the dentist she finally talked me into to going to her long term dentist. The wife told them I was a bit of a scaredy pants when it came to dentistry and they said they had the right people for me at the Alley dentistry office. They were right… Margot is the nicest and most gentle dental hygienist I have ever had the pleasure of scraping my teeth clean. I can’t say enough about her service. She cares and remembers goals we had planned for my teeth care from 6 months ago. Then of course Dr. Alley comes in and shoots it straight and tells me exactly what I need to do to get my teeth in the best shape they have ever been in. Best part is, you’re in and out very quickly.

My 5 star reviews always mean worth getting in a car and driving for. Well Unilocal world — here is your dentist that you should drive from all over to go to. It’s taken me 10 years and 4 dentists to find one that I feel is truly honest. That sounds completely crazy to say, but unfortunately dentists seem to have more in common with car mechanics than doctors. If you walk into the wrong dentist office with insurance, $ signs go off and they’ll just start charging whatever they can for whatever work they want to make up.
My Unilocaling buddy Bob T. pointed me to this dentist and thank goodness. I didn’t have the same dentist as he did but I got the same honest service. On this visit both my 6 year old daughter and me saw Dr. Elizabeth Mier. She was very friendly and gave a very thorough examination, even checking for potential cancer in the mouth. I don’t think I’ve had a dentist ever check anything more than just my teeth. One of the reasons that I kept switching dentists is that they kept ordering deep cleanings. Those are very painful as they scrape way under the gum. Prior to moving out to SoCal, I’ve never needed deep cleanings before so I was surprised. Plus every time a dentist would order one it would cost about $ 1,000 even with my insurance. What do you know, nothing was mentioned about needing a deep cleaning here. Dr. Mier said just a regular cleaning and everything looks good. They have top of the line digital x-​ray equipment and each chair is fitted with a flat screen TV for them to point out any problems (and also watch whatever TV you want while they work on your teeth).
The hygienist, Nancy took over and was also very pleasant. She gave me one of the most gentle cleanings ever and really took her time. I like that they have the old school water bowl available. When you are getting a cleaning it’s always nice to be able to sit up and rinse into the bowl. I’m not sure why so many dentists have stopped doing that. Nancy measured the pockets of my gums (which just happened to be better results than my last dentist), recommended a new toothbrush, and see you in 6 months.
This is how a dentist should be, because if I ever do have problems, I need to be able to trust my dentist. I’m sure they aren’t the only honest dentist office in SoCal, but let me tell you it’s not that easy to find one. Take my advice and Bob T. and Cindy K.; and you’ll soon be posting your own 5 star review on here.

I highly recommend this Dentist office!
They are totally trustworthy — I did not realize that finding an honest dental office was a big concern — however recent experience, conversations with people, and reading reviews have shown that finding a good, honest dentist is pretty much the same as finding an honest, reliable mechanic or contractor. Important, and apparently harder to find than I would have thought — and when you find one — it’s golden!
I had been out of the dental loop for a while. My wife has been going regularly — she would come home every few months with thousands of dollars of costs — and also would have continued problems — each of which would entail more visits and more big bills — but what are you gonna do — be upset about the cost of your wife’s health — um no, I could complain about how much she spends on other things (but if you’ve seen my kegerators, and grills then u know I need to STFU).
I went to my wife’s dental offices and surprise — I needed thousands of dollars of work done (after insurance), in addition to other work — one item was eight fillings. I thought 8 cavities — that’s what I deserve for waiting so long to go to the dentist — they start some scaling treatment, with other treatments — then have someone come in and go over a treatment plan costing thousands. Problem was — it was like a hard sell; the fastest way to get me to avoid doing business with you! Probably would have had me as a patient if it wasn’t for that! They wanted a big down payment also — of course, I had to think about it, and got out of there — my wife was a little offended that I didn’t like her dentist, as she felt they’re so great.
Shortly after, I had to take my mom to the dentist — she had a stroke and needs me to take care of these things now — anyway — they were so caring, friendly and laid back — I could tell right away that they were far more concerned with their patients welfare and doing things right instead of making money. They were all so happy to see my mom, and spent a lot of time training her caregiver to take care of her teeth, as they know this has been a priority of hers.
I mentioned my estimate from the other dentist — and I asked them if they would look it over — which they did with no problem — they said that the costs looked in line — if I needed all of that work. After several calls from my wife’s dentist trying to get me to come in and get started on there plan — I made an appointment with Dr. Alley — guess what — no cavities — only a good cleaning necessary — I asked about the 8 cavities I thought I needed? Turns out the other office wanted to replace all 8 of my fillings — some of which are older — but none needed replacing! Took a couple of appointments to get a thorough cleaning — after insurance $ 66.
I’ve been there a few more times myself and with my mom, the service from the staff has always been friendly and efficient. Dr. Alley, the dental assistants and hygienists have all been very good — very concerned with my comfort, and seem to have a great touch (skill) — far less discomfort than I remember from other dentists. They also have DirecTV on a movable screen for each chair — you can watch a show while getting your work done — in addition the screen works with a hand held camera — Dr. Alley will show you exactly what’s going on and what needs to be done live on camera — very cool — and also enhances their credibility.
I am so glad that I have found a place that I can trust for my dental health. Technically I didn’t find them — my mom did — I just got lucky! I told my wife about the filling replacement thing, she says she is going to start to go to Dr. Alley — as soon as they complete and correct the work we’ve already paid for at her (soon to be former) dentist.
The other reviews are right on target — these are people who truly appreciate your business — and I repeat — I highly recommend them!

Best Dentist you will find. The whole dentist office is so friendly and kind. The best part of this office is they are so honest. I had been going to another dentist in Anaheim Hills. The dentist I was going to told me I need to get several things done that were super expensive. I was just about to start payments and start on the various procedures when I decided to get a second opinion. I went to Dr. Dave Alley. I didn’t tell him up front what the other dentist had recommended I just wanted to find out what he would recommend from my xrays and from seeing me. WELL, after my first visit Dr. Dave came in and told me your xrays are great, your teeth are very healthy. He gave me some recommendations on stuff to do at home for my sensitive teeth and gave me some free gel to put on my teeth to make them less sensitive. Then I told him about what the other dentist recommended. He couldn’t believe it and said I needed none of that.
I have been so impressed time and time again about how honest Dr. Dave and his entire staff are. They will never recommend you doing anything that is not necessary.
My kids and husband now go to this dentist office as well and everyone is equally impressed. He is great with kids and adults.
Great dentist for all ages!
