Patients on Premier Care, unedited
I've been a patient for many years. Premier is a true one-stop shop, with specialists for all your dental needs under one roof. The staff is professional, kind, caring, and thorough. I highly recommend them.
A wonderful dental practice with knowledgeable, well-trained, and competent dentists in every specialty. I recommend Premier Care Dental Group without hesitation.
As a first-time patient needing a root canal retreat, I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Khalil. The procedure was surprisingly quick, and I didn't feel a thing. The technology and communication were excellent, and Lisa was understanding and helpful.
Dr. Hunt is impressive. I have always been very pleased with the entire staff. They are clean, efficient, and competent. I refer others to Premier Care Dental Group.
Absolutely amazing people and incredible care. Dr. Lee is an outstanding surgeon, his team is amazing, and everyone in the organization is phenomenal.
I went from a phone call to the dental chair in two days for an emergency root canal. The doctor took excellent care of me, and four days later I felt back in control of my life. Thank you to the whole team.
Everyone in the office was kind and helpful. They truly went out of their way to make me as comfortable as possible.
The entire staff is helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. They made me feel welcomed and cared for, and they're worth the drive from Koreatown to Pasadena. The wait was so short that I barely got to watch the movie.
What “best” should mean when you pick a dentist
Any office can call itself the best. Premier Care Dental Group does, then qualifies it on the same page: in the practice's words, the best dentist in the Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley area “isn't just one person, but our team.” A team is something you can inspect, so this site sets out who is on it and what they do.
Eight doctors share one office at 310 S Lake Ave. Among them are board eligible periodontist Dr. Dennis R. Hunt, endodontist Dr. Michael E. Khalil, Dr. Andrew Y. Lee with both DDS and MD degrees, and Dr. Dominic T. Letrong, who holds a certificate in aesthetic crown and bridge dentistry. When you need one of them, the referral is down the hall instead of across town.
