Hoon Dokko, DDS

very courteous and helpful. Dr Dokko didn’t try to oversell procedures, but only modestly offered a cosmetic fix (bonding instead of bridges) that will cost several hundred less than what was recommended at another dentist. he even did a temporary bonding procedure to show me what it would look like. he’s fast, quick, and painless, and it’s obvious that he is practical with his advie. i’ve already recommended him to several other people.
they only accept PPO.

Blamed Principal Insurance /​First Dental Health for not apparently paying back the full cost of the procedures. Is he playing smart for insurance fraud? Will file a complaint with the insurance. He refuses to accept certain patients with specific insurance though he is listed in the network. Sounds weird and something must be going on. Let the facts be found and known. Doctor, if you call yourself an intelligent dentist… you should have known better… dont judge and you did wrong first. Make sure you THINK deeply for what caused me to waste my precious time on a sorry person like you.

My favorite dentist everrrrr. I’ve been to other dentists in the Southbay area and checkups in Korea in the past too but no one is as good or honest as Dr. Dokko. I’ve been seeing him for years and I wouldn’t want any other dentist so hopefully he stays where he’s at for a very very long time.
I like most that he doesn’t impose extra things on you. For example other dentists would say you have a bunch of cavities, Dr. Dokko states they’re stains and encourages extra brushing in such areas. And I’m no dentist but doubt they were cavities as others have stated because even after all these years of what was claimed to be cavities I still don’t have any toothaches or symptoms of what would’ve a cavity. He’s very thorough and asks if you have any questions or concerns. I’ve had my wisdom teeth pulled out by him without any excruciating pain or adverse events. And he appropriately prescribed me antibiotics to prevent any infection and pain killers which I didn’t take cause I wasn’t experiencing any pain afterwards.
Definitely recommend him. He did change locations recently after the Del Amo mall expanded but not far from his original office. With validation parking is free. All his receptionists I noticed have changed since the move, but all very sweet and polite.

I’ve been going to Dr Dokko for my dentistry needs for over 10 years. No matter where I move to, I am always willing to make the drive to Dr Dokko because he is that good. He is highly skilled, friendly and honest and his prices are reasonable. The only reason I am not giving this office 5 stars is because of the receptionist. Every time I have called to try to make an appointment (he’s always booked and sometimes months in advance), the receptionist never fails to be short and rude at some point in the conversation. It’s extremely annoying and if Dr Dokko wasn’t such a great dentist, I would easily go somewhere else because of this rude receptionist. Maybe she is like that because Dr Dokko will always have clients and so she really doesn’t have to be nice? I dunno. If you can handle the receptionist, definitely check out Dr Dokko, he’s the best.

Been coming here for years. My previous dentist tried to rip us off! Dr. Dokko is very honest and explains everything to you in a manner where you can understand. I believe all the staff is Korean, but everyone is fluent in English and so kind! Appointments should be made about a month in advance, but I’ve never had to wait. Very efficient!

This guy is realy nice (he goes on mission trips with other dentists to help areas in need) and doesn’t upsell at all. my wife and i went to another family dentistry in lomita and they told my wife she needed 4 fillings and i have a cracked molar which would need an implant. he was really shocked that my wife needed 4 fillings and was laughing at the other dentist asking if we could get the xrays so he could see what his machine wasn’t seeing. also, he said that keeping the structural integrity of my molar was best in the long run and tampering with it would only make it weaker. really friendly guy, good good bedside manner, i recommend him. 1 star off because it is such a long wait time, like at least a month.

I didn’t wanted to write a review, because it will attract more patients, and I’ll need to wait in line longer. But they deserve six stars.
BTW, wait time is around a month.

Had to wait a month but so GLAD i did (how often do you hear THAT about a dentist) … got a wisdom tooth pulled … quick and painless … Dr. Dokko’s da bizzy bombbbzzzzzzz

I’ve been to Dr. Dokko several times. Though I dread going to dentists, I really respect Dr. Dokko. He is very honest and incredibly thorough in the work that he does. I got my check-​up and cleaning done today. He took the X-​rays and explained whatever concerns he had. He does not try to persuade you to do any unnecessary treatments and tells you his honest opinion. He also made sure to set aside time for me to ask him any questions I had about my teeth. The staff was very nice and when it came to the actual cleaning, dang, he’s thorough! He makes sure to get every crevice of your teeth and rid your teeth of all the plaque build up. X-​rays and cleaning turned out to be just $ 70! That is beyond reasonable! Dr. Dokko is a very trustworthy dentist who definitely knows what he is doing. I highly recommend this dentist.

I’ve been going to Dr. Dokko since my senior year in HS. Even though I moved away, I always made a point to get a check up with him whenever I came home to LA.
I’ve gotten my whitening from him (which is a mold that is made and then a kit he gives along with it) i’ve gotten my yearly checkups, teeth bonding, my wisdom teeth pulled and cavities filled from him. You name it, I’ve done it. (Everything except braces, never needed them)
He’s super smart and explains everything to you in an understandable way. You don’t have to be korean either, he speaks English.
The nurse staff are nice/​friendly.
He has an xray monitor right above you so, you can actually see what’s going on inside!
Appointments can take a couple of weeks, so definitely want to call ahead.

Hey guys, I made my account just to review this dentist.
At first I was nervous, my mom recommended this place for me, and unfortunately I don’t speak Korean, however there was no communication problems whatsoever. It had a nice atmosphere to it.
I went in there to remove a wisdom tooth, and I was prepared to cringe at the cost. I’ve researched and called up other dentists, and most people pay 150 – 300 $ per wisdom tooth without dental insurance, and this place did it for 80 $! Extraction was painless, and I was inside the building for at most 30 minutes. The x-​ray was free too.
