M H Charlene Castro, DDS

I love Dr. Castro! Shes so nice and caring whenever I come in for my appointment. She’s like family!

Love her, she is such a great dentist, my 12year old and 16 year old love going to the dentist. They hated dr browns office. charlene and her staff are all fantastic.

Bad experience with the receptionist to start and then wasn’t able to get a dental appointment for a month even with a dental emergency. My whole family recommended this dentist and I don’t understand why.
I would try another local dentist if you are looking to find a new dentist.

Let’s just say Dr. Castro has become a close member of my family. It’s unfortunate I only see her every 6 months.

Dr. Castro is amazing! I just got home from my teeth cleaning and let me say I was amazed by her work. Yes a simple tooth cleaning but it was unlike any other cleaning I’ve had in the past. She made me realize that my prior dentists were crap! She is professional, personable and her office was a breath of fresh air. Pleasant staff and very clean office. She has also worked on my 5 year old sons teeth and after going to see Dr. Castro he loves the dentist. I love recommending her to my family and friends she is great!

Shes a great dentist. Shes good at what she does. She cleaned my teeth thoroughly and my teeth almost white as snow. lol. The only thing that I don’t like is making an appointment with her. She’s never really available. It’s either she is high on demand or doesn’t like working. Anyway, you would need to book about 6 months ahead or so just to make an appointment with Dr. Castro.

I have been through plenty of Dentists… most people wouldn’t go through the work of filling out all of that paperwork, only to go to a new dentist 6 months later, but I do. I am extremely picky, which makes it tough because I will take my family of four ’round the world like a ban of gypsies to find the right dentist for all of us.
Cue Dr. Castro. My family has been with her and her team for a record 24 months. Yeah, it’s pretty amazing (no one office has lasted more than a year). We have been to 4 cleanings and even a couple fillings and all of us are happy. Dr. Castro gives tough love to the kids which is great because they totally respond to her.

Great dentist my 5yr old likes it here… my only complaint is the front desk, it is a mission to call for an appointment or to speak with someone live and not a voicemail

Best dentist ever! She explains clearly everything you need to know about your dental health. Everybody in this office are very friendly and helpful plus you don’t have to wait a long time to be seen like the other ones around the area. Also this office is very clean and their equipments are pretty much brand new. Now I can actually say that I love going to the dentist :)

The only dentist I can’t wait to see for my next check up! Staff is welcoming and friendly. Dr Casto is thorough and caring.

After reading all the reviews I thought this has to be the perfect dentist to see. I’m giving 1 star because I was never able to schedule an appointment. The phones are not answered by a live person. All calls go to voice mail and it takes on average 6 hours to have a call returned. I wasn’t home to receive the call from the office and was instructed by the voice mail to call the office to schedule an appointment. Over a 3 day period, I’ve called the office phone number 20 times (not kidding) and have always gone to voice mail. I’ll try another dental office that has staff to answer calls and assist potential patients.
Either the staff is too busy to take calls, interact and assist patients, or Dr Castro has more than enough patients.

Dr. Castro and her staff are pretty much great! She treats you like family and also educates you on everything she is doing and what your teeth are doing as well. Her staff are very helpful and even looked up a list of oral surgeons that were available in my insurance and mailed it to me. I have found my dentist now!

OMG!!! What can I say not enough stars to rate Dr. Castro and the staff. Before I was referred to Dr. Castro I had a hard time going to dental appointments and just hated the thought of it. Dr. Castro has truly changed the game and is the best ever! She knows what she is doing and talking about very personable and professional. She makes me feel so comfortable and proud to give her a good report on my dental hygiene ever 6 months. My husband loves her as well. The staff is totally awesome love Paul and Beth. A+ for Dr. Castro we love her!!!

Dr. Castro already gets 5 stars for being a UCLA Bruin. I would give her another 5 stars for her dentistry skills but I already maxed out.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Castro for 5 years, and I’ll stay put with her. Very professional and great with kids!!! Very thoughtful and explains in plain english what she has to do. For five years, she becomes part of the family. Can’t trust any other dentist especially one who treats my daughter
with care! If this was ebay, she’ll get A++++++!!!

The best dentist ever… great with kids (my kids ESP love being able to watch tv while getting a cleaning) very caring and honest person. The staff is very friendly and the facility is very clean. We highly recommend her!!! This is by far the best dental experience :)

She saw my daughter right away for a baby root canal when I called her in desperation at 5pm on a Saturday! She was gentle and kid friendly. We called her off a recommendation from a doctor and this was our first visit!
On top of that her cash prices (no insurance) are very good. She won the business of our whole family, and we haven’t been dissappointed!

I went and saw Dr. Castro yesterday after having lots of fun (insert sarcasm) with my other dentist and a bunch of filling problems. She took those digital pictures everyone has noted and showed me how my brand new fillings were broken. She also explained how my teeth were in good shape and how to tweak some of my home oral care to help with the work that was going to need to be done to fix my ever so painful mouth. She was very calm and put me at ease as I was understandably anxious after the last two experiences at the other dental office
The staff was very friendly and understanding of my situation and Amy got me in as a new patient in under a week. (I had to wait two months at the other dentist).
So needless to say, I will be switching to Dr Castro and her office. I look forward to having my mouth fixed and being able to eat without pain.

This was my best dental experience ever in my 28 years of living! Like for most people, going to the dentist is a mandatory thing, not something that’s pleasant in any way (except for maybe the outcome of having super clean teeth, etc). But my first visit to this office really took me by surprise.
Dr. Castro, Paul (the hygienist) and Beth (receptionist) were all so welcoming and friendly. The place looks brand new (although they’ve been at that location for 5 years now) with all high tech equipment and a flat screen that u can see your teeth super zoomed in with the tooth cam and movies. They give you a movie menu for you to pick from also, so you’re not stuck watching some self promoting ads.
Dr. Castro was so thorough in her explanations so I was always in the know of what was gonna happen next. She and Paul were extremely attentive to my needs by asking if everything was okay periodically and they even put vaseline on your lips so they don’t get all dry! In addition to the cleaning and xrays, she also checks your jaw and neck muscles, checks for oral cancer, and the space between all your teeth to see where flossing can be done better/​more often. It was the most thorough examination and cleaning I’ve had. And to top it all off, they even give you a warm toilette to clean your face and hands at the end. I cannot rave about the service anymore!
I highly recommend this place, you will not be disappointed!

I might be biased because she’s my cousin, but I’ve referred friends to her and they’ve given nothing but spectacular reviews. My friend is so terrified of the dentist she hadn’t been in eight years, but I finally convinced her to go to Dr. Castro. She said she wasn’t scared at all and felt so at ease that she had all her cavities (go to the dentist twice a year like they recommend!) filled. I know I sound like a 1−800-DENTIST commercial, but this really is a quality dentistry. They let you pick a movie to watch while they’re working on your teeth and if it’s your first time, she’ll show you all your teeth/​problem areas on a little tooth cam. Neat.
Oh, and she’s open on Saturdays for all us working folks.
