Ruby & Rochon, DDS

I feel compelled to review Dr. Ruby and share my experience. My 4 year old son needed dental work on his four front teeth. The first pediatric dentist, suggested four fillings at once, and possible removal of the first tooth. I balked and went to Dr. Ruby for a second opinion. He insisted we get new X-​rays, claiming the ones my son had 5 days prior weren’t «accurate». I was uncomfortable with doing new X-​Rays and exposing my son to radiation, and he had the nurse bring us into the play room while he lectured me for 15 minutes on «doing the right thing». He then had the nurse bring us balloons while he asked my son if he wanted his pictures taken again. After I relented, he did the X-​rays and claimed that in order to do to do the dental work, my son would need to be sedated and put through oral surgery for 1.5 hours. He insisted the Anesthesiologist comes from UCLA, and everything would be fine. To top it off, he pressured me for an hour to make the appointment that next day. I just wanted to get out of there, something about the whole thing didn’t feel right.
I went to La Cumbre dental the next day, and had a third opinion, which was to fill the cavities, no sedation, no needles, surgery, etc. They did the dental work in 30 minutes, no numbing needed!!! It has been 2 years since, and the filings are great, no follow up, no further cavities.
My blood still boils thinking about Dr. Ruby and what a crook he is. Not to mention sedating children, trying to pressure you into things you do not need, all for his benefit. DISGUSTING. this man, including his staff, should NOT be in the business of children. They should be ashamed of themselves. DO NOT sacrifice your child’s safety or health coming here.

My 2.5 year old fell and ended up having abscesses on both front teeth. It was heartbreaking to realize he could not even chew with these teeth after the incident due to the pain. I found Dr. Rachon by searching on the internet and I had such a GREAT experience that I had to post this review. I have never had such kind and compassionate individuals help me through such a hard time with my child. Watching your child in pain and need anesthesia for a procedure was nothing easy. As a nurse my self I appreciate the kind and compassionate people in this world. From the front desk staff, assistants, anesthesiologist, to Dr. Rachon they were AMAZING. My husband and I could not have asked for better support. They explained all our options, were great with our son and truly amazed me. I would tell any parent to use this office as I will never EVER go anywhere else now. Thank you Dr. Rachon!

We switched here because one of my sons needed a dentist with a lot of skill & patience. Dr. Yvonne Rochon & her team know exactly how to work with my son.
