I dread going to the dentist but once I finally mustard up the courage to make an appointment it's was a emotional roller coaster all the way to my appointment. Once I arrived and I sat down with the nurse and doctor I immediately felt welcomed and they went above and beyond to make my experience exceptional. They knew I was nervous and with reason because I need a lot of work done. It's only day 2 for me but I can't wait for the end results. For someone who doesn't like the dentist and to suddenly be eager to get work done, just mean I'm in good hands. Thank you DR. Maria , katie and the office staff for taking care of me now and in the future. See you soon .

Always friendly and professional. All the staff is nice and caring. One of few dentists I have ever felt comfortable with.

I was a patient of Dr. Urban when it was his practice before he retired and handed the reins to the Dr Compeans. I have had all kinds of dental work done and have visited many times over the last 10 years. I loved Dr Urban for undoing my fear of dentists and restoring my faith so I was unsure if the new dentists would also set the bar just as high. To my very pleasant surprise I absolutely love Dr Mary Compean. She is very skilled and approachable which really puts people at ease. You never feel like you're just a number or task. The office team is 1000% awesome as always. The hygienists Lily and Denise do gentle, thorough cleanings. Everyone is just so warm, professional, and is exceptional at follow up. I really could not ask for a better dental practice. If you have any hesitation, please take it from one former dentist-phobe to just make that first step. Whatever your needs, it can be addressed or they have plenty of resources and other dentists to refer you to depending on your needed procedure. You wont regret it!

Flew back to California today from Colorado just to get my teeth cleaned from the amazing Lilly...Been apart of this dental family for about 6 years..From Elise's friendly reminder 2 days before your appointment to Dr. Mary checking up on you after your cleaning this facility is top notch..This is why I will continue to fly back twice a year for excellence..

I will start by saying that I am a big chicken when it came to me going to the dentist. I was forced to go to the dentist because I cracked a tooth. I did some research and read some good reviews about Dr. Mary Compean, so I decided to give her a try. My first phone call to the office was welcoming and happy and helpful. I knew then that I had found the right dentist for me and my family. I met Dr. Mary Compean a few days later and she sealed the deal. She is professional but sprinkled with compassion, warmth, and happy energy. Once she started my procedure, it was PAINLESS. Honestly it really was PAINLESS. I am no longer afraid of the dentist. Dr. Mary Compean ~ You are AMAZING........ Your STAFF IS AMAZING!!!!

I have been visiting Cerritos Southcoast Dental since Dr. Urban ran it. But lately after sale to Dr. Carlos Compean there is no quality in care. I visited this place regularly for general cleaning and time to time Dr. Carlos will take a look into my mouth. Last year when Dr. Carlos checked me he said I should get a crown instead of the filling in one of my teeth. I did not agree to him that time but then during each visit the staff will push me to get the crown on next visit. So finally, as I trusted Dr. Carlos, I agreed to get a crown in June this year. When I arrived for the crown I was told that there will be follow up visit for the real crown as they will install a temporary crown - this was bummer as so far they were telling it will be one short visit. Fine, I got the temporary crown on a Wednesday, I did not use one side of my mouth at all as I was instructed not to use it. Friday morning I was drinking water and the temporary crown came off, fortunately I did not swallow it. I called their office but this place is closed on Fridays so I called the emergency number that was given to me when I called the regular number. No one answered that emergency number. Couple of hours later, I called the emergency number again and asked if someone can call me back??? No one called that day. Imagine calling 911 and you get no one at the other end and no one calls you back for 24 hours????? My tooth was so bad that even gasping air was painfully hypersensitive let alone food or water. Next day Saturday, I got a call from this office and I was suggested to buy temporary dental glue(?) and put the crown back. Are you kidding me??? I don't have any idea what the orientation of the crown is.. So they arranged Dr. Carlos to open up the clinic for me and we setup a time for the same day. Dr. Carlos came to the office and fixed the temporary crown back in the position. I was also setup to get a crown in about a month. In July, when I came to get the real crown installed, I informed Dr. Carlos that if he can do something about hypersensitivity? He told me that he is not going to install the real crown as I'll have to get rid of hypersensitivity first and referred me to Care Endodontics. He also told me to inform that office once I get the procedure done and the office will accommodate me same day for real crown installation. It went downhill from here... I got the first appointment at Care Endo after two weeks. After checking my tooth, Dr. told me that Dr. Carlos dug too deep to damage the nerves and I'll have to go through root canal. I did not have a choice as I was in pain for over a month, I got root canal taken care of same day. This cost me more money and of course the insurance was used. When I called Cerritos Southcoast Dental to inform that I had root canal done they told me the first appointment with Dr. Carlos is after a week, when I informed that Dr. Carlos said he will accommodate me same day they just ignored and kept on saying if I need the appointment or not.... So rude. I got back to this place to get the real crown installed, I told Dr. Carlos that he performed an unnecessary procedure by pressuring me get a crown while I was not complaining of any discomfort and he should be responsible for, at least, the copay/coinsurnace I paid to get root canal. He refused and said the filling would have decayed and I would have needed new filling anyway. (seriously???) In summary, due to Dr. Carlos' and staff's pushy sales techniques I had to suffer so much pain and lost money, enjoyment of food while embracing fear of breaking the crown I totally forgot using one side of my mouth. I am still in discomfort but Dr. Carlos only cares about his business not the patients. Some good staff is still there, like dental hygienist - gets 5*. Did I mention front office staff is very weird and rude? They will be nice if you look certain way. Not recommended if you want to trust your dentist. There are more places where you'll find wayyy better care and trustworthy dentists.

Visited the office of Dr. Carlos and Dr. Mary Compean. Everyone was respectful and treated me with kindness. I never felt pressured into doing any work right away. They listened to my concerns and pains. Very professional staff and would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist.

I've been going to this dentist office for 10years now but about a year ago Dr. Urban retired and Dr. Mary & Dr. Compean took over. I was a bit nervous since we loved Dr. Urban, I am happy to report that Dr. Mary has been amazing! The Dental Hygenist Denise is amazing too and their office receptionist Elise is wonderful too. They are all very nice and we have always experienced pain free procedures with them. I love the way they explain everything and keep good records of our appointments and information. The office is clean, organized and makes you feel relaxed.

I had to get a tooth extracted a few weeks back and didn't feel a thing! I unfortunately have also had to get root canals, but through all of the procedures, the team at Southcoast Dental has put me first! I highly recommend the professionals Carlos and Mary Compean, and their team to put you first and give you the best care possible!

I was in search of a new Dentist and dread having to begin the process of doing a history check on the few candidates I'd selected. Added to this process is the COVID-19 pandemic which brought on another level of anxiety. I'd placed a call to Cerritos South Coast Dental to inquire as to what COVID-19 procedures/ practices they have in place to protect visitors/clients. All of my concerns disappeared after speaking with Elise she was soooooooooooooooo nice, informative, and professional. My experience got even better upon visiting the office. The office deco and lighting give a warm, calm, friendly welcoming vibe which mirrors each staff member I interacted with. Dr. Mary, Denise, Elise, Terri and one more person (sorry I can't remember her name) You are the TRUE definition of AWESOME & GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE !!!. I appreciate each of you for having a listening ear during each visit and going above and beyond Steller service.

I was very hesitant to go during Covid 19. The staff was so polite to accommodate me and reassure me. Elise called and told me we have temperature checks and covered seats, hand sanitizer. I felt completely safe and at ease. Wearing the mask was no problem for me. Checking my temp again before I sat down put me at ease as well. Overall. Very safe environment and felt completely safe given the current pandemic.

I was a patient of Dr. Urban for several years. It took me a long time to find a dentist that was fair on pricing and provided good bedside manner so I was sad when I heard he retired. I wish him the best. The new dentist's that took over are very similar to Dr. Urban. There is a father and a daughter that are both licensed. I worked with the father, Dr. Carlos and he was great. We built some rapport, he shared some knowledge about dentistry (and life) and he listened to my needs as a patient. They still have the same, sweet staff along with some new folks. One of Dr. Carlos' other daughters works as an assistant and she was great to work with too. I had a crown put in and she followed up with a phone call the next day to see how I was feeling. Truly a family atmosphere in the office. Highly recommended.
