I consider myself fortunate to have a career that allows me to support my family and provides me with a daily sense of accomplishment. I dont have to force myself to come to work each and every morning because I genuinely enjoy what I do. Undoubtedly, it's easier to achieve a certain level of success when it is based upon a profound interest in your occupation. It is this interest in the devotion to my profession that motivates me to continuously advance my skills. I strive to polish my patient interaction skills and my theoretical and practical knowledge of Dentistry. I must admit, that I if did not receive the current degree of satisfaction from my practice, I would explore my passion for teaching. While I have pursued the latest advancements in dentistry, I have simultaneously shared my discoveries with colleagues. It has taken years to reach my present understanding of implantology and laser dentistry. The next best thing to witnessing the satisfaction and amazing results of my patients is the transfer of information to other dentists. While I realize that I will always have more to learn and an everlasting thirst for new knowledge, it is a privilege and an honor to be respected by my colleagues. At the end of a long and often stressful day, while driving home to my family, I know that my techniques and expertise had improved the quality of life of others. The improvement may be as subtle as a prettier smile that lends itself to increased self-confidence. The change in a patients life may be as significant as the ability to chew, increased appetite, decreased pain, or the ability to communicate more effectively. In many cases the results of treatment can improve overall health and quality of life. Sincerely, dentistry gives as much back to me as I give to it.

Service is hideous as far as the dentist I'm getting implants due to their extracting teeth that were good when they show you what's wrong with your teeth get a second opinion from another dentist this is the worst dental office I have ever been to I wouldn't recommend them to my worst enemy absolutely make you be afraid to trust any dentist the partial they made for me was truly a laughing matter but the damage was already done please don't get any major major dentistry done here.

I had root canal treatment at Bellflower Dental Group with their specialist. The entire experience from start to finish was smooth and painless. I could not be more pleased and grateful. Thanks Dr. Smolken and entire staff for making me smile again!

Teeth cleaning was painful & rough... Angie who did the teeth cleaning criticized me through the 20 minutes of butchering my gums. I tasted my blood through out the entire event. I had to stop her and asked another hygienist to take over however I ended up allowing Angie to put the prophy/fluoride so I can get on with my day. Instead of simply apologizing to me she said next time you come in let the staff know to not schedule your cleaning with me. She did this all while standing too so she was bearing down all her weight using the instruments poking my gums. It was awful

(Original) Mi opinion sobre este lugar es respecto a la limpieza, es un lugar muy sucio, tiene mucho polvo, los banos huelen horrible, la verdad es un lugar muy desagradable.

I don't know where to begin, but I'm truly glad that my husband recommended Bellflower Dental to me. I'm truly impressed with their customer service, unmatched expertise, and patience. Dr. Tsibel and his team of dental experts have been very patient with me throughout my challenging dental journey. I say challenging because I had a horrible experience with my previous dentist. However, Bellflower Dental Group has helped me to regain my faith and trust in the dentist again. They take great care to explain all details about my teeth condition and treatment plan(s). I love the over all atmosphere at Bellflower Dental Group. The staff are truly awesome and very helpful from the moment you walk through the doors. The doctors are very passionate, well mannered, and honest. They are very thorough and attentive to my questions and needs. In addition, the receptionists at the front desk are lovely and very welcoming, no matter how busy they may be. Again, I'm so thankful that my husband recommended Bellflower Dental Group to me. I highly recommend Bellflower Dental Group to ANYONE looking for a dentist office, "THAT CARES ABOUT YOUR OVERALL WELL BEING! Debra Jones

I believe this is my 2nd bad review about this place regarding the financial department. I am getting charged a $25 late fee because their department is too irresponsible & lost the paperwork of my updated card information. The woman on the phone tried to say this was untrue & I never went in person to do it which is a lie because my school hours document shows the day I missed to go update my card here. I am very busy w/school & only have sundays & Mondays off. I had to take a Saturday off school (which charges me out of pocket since it's a private school). I went in the 2/26/22 to update my chase card. The woman took a photo copy of my chase card & made me sign a paper saying to update the future automatic payments to that chase card instead of my BOA card. It is not my responsibility to make sure they don't lose their paperwork in their office. They just try to steal people's money anyway they can. Next time I will be recording on my phone in case they try to lie again in the future so I have video proof.

I have a fear of dentists from really bad experiences early in my life. As a result I put off much needed dental work too long. I went here on a recommendation from someone whose used them before. I have visited twice so far and every single person I've come in contact with has been exceptionally nice. Everything was explained to me. The woman who did my xrays was gentle and fast after I told her the mouth pieces gag me easily. The first dentist I saw was very nice and empathetic. It felt like she honestly cared about my dental health. I had a deep cleaning yesterday and the person who did it was gentle and friendly. She also went as far to show me what the best tooth brush and water pik would be for me. Also had two teeth extracted without pain. Dr. Kim and his assistance were great and patient even with it being late on a Friday. Overall really impressed and will be using them for my dental care from now on.

I hate to leave bad reviews BUT this place was a joke! My 8 year old daughter was in need of a root canal. I found Bellflower dental online and thought I'd give it a try. I guess I should have went based off the reviews but I was desperate! First of all, the minute I walked it there were 2 people complaining about how they had Been waiting 2 hours. It was loud and crazy in there. Really chaotic. Anyway, after 2 hours of waiting ourselves we were seen by their specialist who was working on another patient literally an arm length away from us. Super gross. Then they proceeded to tell me my out of pocket was going to be $4,600 after what my insurance was going to cover. I told them I'd get back to them and found a place that charged me less than half of that. This place reminded me of a hospital more than a dentist. If you go here I suggest you get a second opinion.
