Anna K Choe, DDS

Dr. Choe graciously fixed a crown that «popped» out of our out of state friend’s mouth when he was at a business dinner — Yike! He asked us for a recommendation of a good dentist that may fix it and we recommended he call Dr. Choe. He called her and she answered even though it was after hours! She fit him in first thing the next morning, fixed the crown and he was able to complete his business trip without the worry of the broken crown. He loved the office staff too. Thank you Dr. Choe and staff for your above and beyond professionalism and care!

So happy with Dr. Choe. She is warm, kind and caring. The front desk is lovely and personable. The dental hygienists are amazing and just as thorough as Dr. Choe herself. I am beyond relieved at finding this practice, can’t wait to bring my daughter here when she is old enough! Much love to Dr. Choe and her staff. Please visit her, you won’t be disappointed!

I didn’t get the first time patient experience I was expecting from what I read on Unilocal from mutual patients of this practice. The front office staff made my visit seem so impersonal but the back office compensated. The doctor’s assistant was really sweet and the dentist was knowledgeable. Thankfully, no cavities were found so my overall visit went smoothly.

Hands down the best dentist I’ve ever had. Dr. Choe and her staff are friendly, helpful and informative. Even after rescheduling and missing appointments (several times) they still are willing to accommodate to my schedule.

Today I had my first visit to Dr. Choe, and it was a wonderful experience. Cindy, the hygienist, did an excellent and thorough job cleaning up my teeth with very little pain. She was very friendly and kept me at ease through the whole process. Dr. Choe came in at the end and was very personable and professional throughout. Even the receptionists in front were friendly, and I had virtually no wait (5 minutes). Cannot say how pleased I was to find this place. And they accept Delta Dental PPO, which is great!

I was extremely hesitant about going to the dentist as I have had nothing but bad experiences in the past. It was at the point however where I absolutely needed to see a dentist and so I did a lot of research. From all the reviews I read about Pasadena dentists, Dr. Anna seemed to receive the most praise. That praise could not be more well deserved. Dr. Anna and every single member of her staff go out of their way to make you feel comfortable. I wanted to make sure I had the opportunity to express my concerns about going to the dentist and the hygienist stopped everything she was doing to listen to what I had to say. I was truly impressed. You never feel uncomfortable and the atmosphere is always friendly and upbeat. Even after getting a route canal, I still never felt much discomfort or pain! Dr. Anna is definitely the best dentist in Pasadena. I can’t recommend this place enough.

Professional, clean, simple, clear.

I just had my cleaning here and the hygenist did an excellent job and like always they were all very kind and welcoming. I do recommend this dentist and will keep coming here.

Dr. Choe is excellent! She provides amazing, gentle, up to date care on our family’s teeth in a calm, clean and friendly office environment. We have referred her to several friends and will remain patients for many years to come.

Dr. Choe and her staff are AWESOME!!! I felt so comfortable with everyone and will be sending my husband there next! The welcome gift is a nice gesture and a reflection of what great people are there to help you with your dental needs.

Like most, I’m petrified of seeing a dentist. However, I had no choice because I knew something was up! I first met Cindy (Hygienist) and she was spectacular! Completely put me at ease an walked me through the cleaning process. She consistently asked if I was okay which I truly appreciated. After my cleaning Dr. Choe examined and reviewed my X-​rays with me. I had multiple cavities and one in particular that needed immediate attention because it was close to the root. I decided to move forward with the filling after my cleaning. To my surprise, the entire filling was PAIN FREE! I found my place

After years of neglecting my teeth due to horrible dentist experiences I am so grateful to have found Dr Choe. Besides her office being clean, modern, and very peaceful Dr Choe is an excellent dentist. She has seen me several times on the same day without an appointment for various pains and problems. She has always taken her time listening to me and diagnosing my pain. The work she has done on my teeth was painless, easy, affordable and very well done. I have never been told I need work done that isn’t necessary. Her staff has always been very kind and helpful. Excellent dentist, great office and staff!

It’s hard to find a good dentist that won’t scam you now a days, let alone one that will do their job correctly without charging you an arm and a leg. Dr. Choe is professional and reasonably priced. She is honest and makes the whole dentist visit a breeze. My whole family goes to here and I recommend her to everyone I can. I highly encourage you to try her out.

Coming here was a breeze; Anna made me feel comfortable as she is so sweet. Got a good cleaning and the check-​up went smooth. I have been to other dentists that made me feel like they would charge me for something I didn’t need… not here. I am glad Unilocal helped me find her, it was right!

estoy facinada con su servicio en general. llegue a su consultorio dental por que se me despego mi corona despues de ir con 2 diferentes dentistas que dijeron que mi corona no servia y que tendrian que hacer una nueva lo cual costaria mucho; ella dijo OHH traes la corona que se te callo por suerte no la tire pues pense que era inservible la reviso y me dijo vamos a hacerle unos ajustes y cementarla de nuevo me quede asombrada q no tube que gastar en una nueva pues obvio quien quiere pagar mas. A la semana siguiente regrese para que me extrajera la muela del juicio y mi cita era a las 2;00 pm y 2;30 yo estabaen el estacionamiento de regreso a casa sin dolor si esto no les ayuda he sido paciente de 9 dentistas sin exito alguno hasta este ultimo mes con la dra ANNA K CHOE thanks for your service :)

I went to this woman because of Unilocal.My mistake.
She doesn’t know anything about old-​fashioned dentistry. I showed her my
dental x-​rays from the McCormack x-​ray shop on Rosemead. Dr. Choe said she didn’t have a light box in her fancy office to view them. (Apparently, she didn’t have windows in her office either…)
She worked on my upper left quadrant incisor for an inlay filling. She drilled it, then offered to fill it with her «light bonding» resin. But first she offered me some extra «stickum.» When I asked what was in it, she said it included fluoride. I declined. So, she put in her resin. And 30 days later it failed. It broke in half. The filling left an open margin, a bad contour fit, and it was sensitive to air and further inflammation. (This is what my real dentist said when he had to fix it.) The little resins and light she used just weren’t strong enough, or she didn’t get it dry enough to hold. The visit was a total waste of money.
I’d have contacted Dr. Choe’s office before writing this review. But she had no contact information on her fancy website, so I couldn’t.
Her office may be ok for simple teeth cleaning…

I went to see Dr. Choe based on a referral from one of my good friends. The staff there are great and really work to make you comfortable. I’ve had extensive dental work over the years from great dentists and not so good dentists. Dr. Choe is knowledgeable, warm, and highly skilled. Dental work, particularly drilling, is often painful for me as some dentists don’t always wait for the numbing to fully kick in before they start the work. Not only did Dr. Choe wait patiently but she even suggested we do one tooth at a time. This really worked out well for me because my old dentist would have done it all in one day. Yes it means 2 visits but my comfort level was high; it was a breath of fresh air. Thank you Dr. Choe! Think I have found «the» dentist for me.

I love Dr. Choe! She is the best dentist that I have ever used.
I have been going to Dr. Choe since she first opened her practice here. I was working in a nearby medical building when she offered discounts to get her name out there. I was initially skeptical, but I was glad I went.
She is honest and very fair on her pricing, two characteristics that don’t apply to any other dentist that I have been to. She has rebuked other dentists very expensive operations, saying that they were unnecessary. To her, it was better to wait until there was a problem, because, with good dental hygiene, there may never be one.
Dr. Choe is also very nice and understanding, which is nice for people like me who are nervous at dentist’s offices. I am no longer nervous when I go to her office!
Her office is open, and bright, with a decent view.

Very pleased with Dr. Choe. I’ve seen her twice — once for an emergency, and then again for a cleaning/​checkup. She’s very clear and thorough; the office is clean and modern. I liked especially that she really seems to be there for the dental health of the patient, and not — as is the case with so many other dentists these days — simple to see the teeth as a profit center. I had a couple of minor problems, and each time, she recommended the most minimal and cost-​free means of solving them. Validated parking is nice, too. Thanks, Dr. Choe — see you for my next cleaning!

Wow, what can I say? I had a great experience with Dr. Choe. Her front office staff are super helpful and friendly. First time you go, you get a cute welcome mug with a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss. Everything is digital, and you are able to see the pictures of your teeth while Dr. Choe explains what she finds. I also have never had the dentist do the actual cleaning, which she did. The hygienist helped during the cleaning, and then did the polishing. Dr. Choe also did a very thorough examination of each tooth, and recorded the findings. I told her certain things previous dentists had told me, including needing a gum transplant (?!), and she told me that was ridiculous and there was nothing wrong with my gums. She did not try to upsell any services or products, but just informed me of some options and told me I could let he know if I wanted anything else done. I highly recommend coming here for your dental needs.

I’ve had my fair share of dentist experiences from an early age. The most horrific experience stemming from my years using the USC dental school students for tooth care (didn’t have much money for this stuff in high school). But hey, root canal for $ 100…can’t beat that until they drill too far and cause an infection in the gums.
Anyway, fast forward to the present and moving to a new location. I get my teeth cleaned every year and I’m pretty diligent about my teeth since I’ve spent so much money on my pearly whites already. Had to find a new dentist and after a quick review of Unilocal and my insurance coverage, I stumbled upon Dr Choe.
The reception is nice and hassle free. Got placed in my dentist chair and was expecting a dental hygienist to do all the work for my tooth checkup and cleaning but was surprised that Dr. Choe handled all the cleaning herself. She’s very nice and personable and does a thorough job.
The facility is very new and they take advantage of all the newest technologies and equipment. When I asked about the cost of getting one of my old amalgam fillings swapped out with a composite, they quoted me an upfront cost after insurance coverage on the spot with a printed breakdown.
Overall, I’m very satisfied with the facilities, the service and their upfront quoting of procedures. It takes me like a month to get a quote from my dermatologist… when I get the bill in the mail!
5 stars!
