Easy to make appointment. Garage parking is tight fitting. Waited about 2 minutes for tooth cleaning tech to start. Dr. Yee readily available to discuss treatment plans. Tooth cleaning was OK. Billing is reasonable.

The best dental practice in Orange County. Completely honest and give the pros and cons of any treatment involving the patient in the decision. Also technically excellent and up on the latest dental treatment. Sometimes it's scary to be a patient even when you have knowledge because you never know if the dental practice is trying to oversell you something. This will never happen at Pacific Coast dental, it took me a long time to find such a practice in orange county. Kim and Dr. Oda A+++++

Friendly, up to date, efficient. We had excellent exams and cleanings, and we were impressed by the professional, welcoming staff. They now have their own dental insurance which seems reasonable for children and adults. I may go for this next time!
