Tony K Choi, DMD

I have been going to Dr. Choi for 8 years. I had moved to the area and needed a dentist and was referred to Dr. Choi through my health insurance provider. I went to him because he was close and I had an emergency root canal that needed done. I was naïve enough to believe everything he said.
Yesterday I went to have a cracked crown looked at and he told me that he also discovered that a bridge he put in 2 years ago was also failing and that I should have that done. He recommended 6 implants at a cost of $ 24,000.00. When I told him I could not afford that, he said «People do it all the time».
Here’s the thing. In the 8 years I’ve been there, I have spent a grand total of $ 23,831.50 out of pocket for several procedures. Root canals, extractions, a partial denture (that has broken twice and needed replaced in 3 years) a bridge, etc. etc. And after all that, everything he has done to my mouth has failed and now he wants another $ 24,000.00. I asked if he could credit back, or cover any of the work that has clearly not worked and he said he is not responsible for any of it. I got up and walked out. I felt cheated, taken advantage of and will NEVER go back to him again.
This dentist is out for one thing, and one thing only… to make money. He has horrible bed side manner, he has absolutely ZERO compassion. Every single time I have gone in to him, he has ended up doing way more than what I asked for way more money and I fell for it. His office constantly calls, emails, txts you weekly in an attempt to solicit business and profit.
Avoid this dentist at all cost, he will rip you off and will do it with intimidation and fear, telling you what will happen if you don’t do what he says. HE IS HORRIBLE!!!

I had experiences with this dentist and I would not recommend this to anyone.
1. Made an appointment for checkup + cleaning. The day on the appointment the dentist checked on the teeth and guess what, told me that they are closing for the day soon and I needed to come back again for the cleaning.
2. The dental hygienist barely did anything on me. During my first time cleaning with her, she spent 20 seconds to show me how to clean the teeth with a rubber tip. Then she asked me to clean and floss my whole set of teeth in front of her. Few months later during my next cleaning appointment she tried the same thing on me. I told her that I know how to rubber tip and floss and I didn’t want to do again in front of her. What’s the point of coming to the dental office when I can just rubber tip and floss at home? She claimed that she wanted to be sure that I doing it correctly.
3. The checkup is quick and lousy. They did not even do the gum measurement checking.
4. The cleaning is also quick and lousy too. I don’t feel my teeth is professionally cleaned.
The only good thing is good customer service — they keep calling, sending you reminder email/​letter for dental checkup/​cleaning. The receptionist is friendly and welcoming. However, once you are on the dentist chair, they are trying to sell you tons of services that you may not need.

Dr. Choi has been my dentist for many years and his staff has been god. They are very courteous and expedient. They take the time to walk through with you all the problems and solution paths you can possibly take.

Been seeing Dr. Choi for a few years now. Very knowledgable
and friendly. I’ve had some major work done there as well (root canal) and it all worked out. Recommended.
