Hi,
We just moved to Long Beach and need a dentist for my husband and me. My son is 2 1/2 and I think it's time for him to be seen for the first time. Any thoughts? We appreciate your referals!

I have gone to Len Cutuli for 20+ plus years. He is gentle, thorough, but doesn't do work just to increase his income. His work quality is wonderful as he his personality.
His name is Len Cutuli, 1045 Atlantic #602, Long Beach

My son had to go to an HMO dentist that his union allowed. This dentist told my adult son he had 13 cavities. Well, my son gathered up the xrays and went elsewhere--no cavities! With Dr. Cutuli, honesty will never be an issue.

I live in Los Alamitos (right on the edge of Long Beach) and I could also recommend Dr. Diamond as did one other person... But even better, in the city of Los Al is Dr. Pai and Dr. Ishioka... They are a married couple they share an office. He does adult dentistry, she does pediatrics and orthodontics. They are BEYOND AMAZING! So here's some stories to convince you. Dr. Pai once offered to come in on a weekend to look at a tooth my husband broke on a friday afternoon when all the dentists in the area were closed. My husband was in pain and desperate, he called every dentist on our insurance plan in a 10 mile radius and Dr. Pai is the ONLY one that called him back and offered to help, and we weren't even patients of his at the time. We have a good friend who lives in NEW ZEALAND who only sees Dr. Pai. He sets up his appointments when he's here on business, and says he doesn't trust anyone else. Dr. Susan Ishioka is also fabulous. When my friend's son was 2 months away from being done with his braces, he had to have his high school senior portraits taken... She took his braces off for the photos and put them back on the next day FOR FREE! My daughter is going through some pretty intense orthodontia, and Dr. Susan is so kind and gentle and sweet that my daughter just loves her anyway. The office staff are really nice, and they're great with working out flexible payment plans. I couldn't recommend her enough...

If you want to travel to Los Alamitos, we love our dentist, Dr. Diamond. The kids and I have been seeing him for 8 years now. Love him. A little quirky but does a great job and great with children.

I take my 3-year-old to Dr. William J. Worden. He is a pediatric dentist, and we're very happy with him so far. He is near PCH and Clark. wordendds.com

Hi K.,

Please call Dr. Stella to check him out. They are so kid friendly!!!! The office is geared towards kids. Ask for Dr. Stella to see your child. Of course, you should go check them out if you want. Another important key to choosing a good dental/doctor office is having a great office staff. Dr. Stella has an excellent/efficient office staff. You don't always get that either. We have been with him for a few years and know many families that go to him.

Let them know that M. Mantz referred you. Here is some info. http://www.drstellakids.com/bio.html

Dr. Stella's Children's Dentistry, 2700 Bellflower Blvd., Ste. #217, Long Beach, 90815 ###-###-####.

Good luck! Let me know if you end up going to him.

M.

Dr. Pai and Dr. Ishioka are the ones for you. Dr. Pai is a general DDS and his wife Dr. Ishioka specializes in Pedodontics and Orthodontics. The office is always nice, clean and the staff are super friendly, always going out of their way to help! They share a practice in Los Alamitos on Katella right across from the race track and Costco. Check them out!
