Coastline Dental Care

Dr. Dong is hands down the BEST dentist I have ever gone too. My brother found him and recommended him to me; our whole family goes to him now. In my first appointment, I got x-​rayed, teeth cleaning, shaved my chipped tooth, and a few cavities fixed for the very reasonable price of $ 300 with no insurance.
I went to a different dentist in San Jose, since this is where I live, and asked for the same treatment. The San Jose dentist quoted me $ 500+ for deep cleaning and $ 140 for each cavity — after charging my insurance. I also had to schedule 3 different appointments for each procedure. When I told them the price Dr. Dong gave me, they asked «Is this a family friend?» I now see Dr. Dong whenever I am in Huntington to see my family. He is worth the trip!
Have experienced other dentists, I highly, highly recommend him.

Dr. Dong and his staff are great. As a person who extremely dislikes going to the dentist, I am very happy with this office. The cleanings are pain free and any cavity related work is easy and fast — Dr. Dong is very professional. I highly recommend Dr. Dong and his office.

Dr. Dong is AWESOME !!! He never pressures you to do anything he super nice !! I have Dental insurance with another Dentist and I choose to go to Dr. Dong and his prices were about half of anyone else … Great Guy kick back and easygoing !!! Don’t go anywhere else … Everyone that I have refered to Dr. Dong says the same thing !!!

I don’t know how this company got such good ratings, but I have to say I’ve had a completely different experience. I don’t write reviews unless I am seriously dissatisfied, which I am!
Just got off the phone with the receptionist/​dental assistant telling her that my tooth still hurts — the one they already checked out last time I got my cavity filled last week. She reacted the same way she did when I first told her about my pain — like I was full of crap and making stuff up. Really? Do I really want you to prod and poke around my mouth if it’s unnecessary? I tell her I’ve never felt this much pain in my tooth, and it felt like the root or something deep. She asked me if I was mouth washing and flossing. Umm, yeah, all the time, after every meal. She sighs and says, «well, Dr. Dong is on vacation until Wednesday, so maybe he can see you then». I say, «Ok, Wednesday is fine». Then she laughs a little and sighs some more and says, «Wednesday, we’re really busy». And I had to stop myself from yelling, but I said very loudly, «then why did you tell me to come in on Wednesday?!». Whatever. Long story short, I’m coming in on Wed (Lord help me), and she ended the conversation by telling me to floss and mouth wash some more. Right, bc that will help my sharp, stabbing pains overnight.
Btw, this review is coming from someone who grew up in the Asian community. I’ve dealt with Asian-​ese people my whole life — got my nails done by them, cheap $ 15 haircuts, grocery stores, etc. Being Filipino myself, I understand that the other kinds of Asians don’t have the best manners, and that a lot of the social cues are missed. Heck, I didn’t even say anything when the Asian lady that gave me a haircut stopped halfway, and made me blow dry my own hair, so she could work on someone else that came in. I understand that! But this dentist and his colleagues are something else! They are rude, non personable, and have no chair side manners.
Dr. Dong himself is very rough when it comes to actually working on my teeth. I’m very good about putting some sort of chapstick or vaseline on my lips before going to the dentist, bc I understand they need to pull and stretch, but he seriously almost ripped my lips by pulling so hard. I was bleeding a little bit from it. Then he filled my cavity. He didn’t numb my gums enough at all, and I was wincing, and making faces, and trying to tell him to stop while he was filling my cavity bc the process hurt so bad, but he just kept going. He never asked if I was numb enough. The last dentist I went to had to inject me 3 more times to make me numb enough. Dr. Dong could care less. He walks into the room, does his work, and leaves without saying anything. I honestly have nothing positive to say about this place or the people that work here.

This place holds the honor of having been my most horrendous customer service experience ever at a dentist. The dentist’s bedside manner was detestable. After having my X-​rays taken, I waited in the patient chair. The assistant turned on the TV to the daytime talk show Maury. They didn’t have a remote; so, I couldn’t change the channel. When the dentist came in, he left the TV on! He gave me this long diatribe on how I needed to see an orthodontist but that he couldn’t refer me to anyone because I have a dental HMO. He went on to say that dental HMO’s pay very little to the dentist’s so the dentist’s are reluctant to see them, but are contractually obligated to by the insurance companies, otherwise they won’t be sent patients with PPO’s which pay out more. So Mr. moneybags said he only likes to provide the minimum cleaning twice a year to HMO patients. What an ass. Moreover, he kept glancing at the child paternity fiasco on the TV while inspecting my teeth! Everyone steer clear of this quack!

Dr Dong is the Best! My family of 5 all see him and can’t put into words how pleased we are with his work and office.

I Love this dental office. Dr. Dong is very nice and knowledge. He is very friendly and welcome for questions.
Price is very fair. Greate place to visit. Strongly recommend.
Will Come again for sure.

this place is the best. price is very cheap with high quality service. the dentist very friendly.

The ironic thing is I found this dentist while having my lunch at the restaurant next to this dentist’s office. I needed regular 6 months checkup/​cleaning so I inquired with them and thought I should give them a try.
It turned out that this Dentist was awesome. He not only did a great work on my cavity but also took care of some cosmetic stuff that other dentist would not have done without charging some $$$$. I had tried 4 other dentists before and this guy was the best one so far. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Dong for any of your dental care.
Tell them Vish sent ya.
