Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Too expensive and hard to get ahold of.
Dental care was as expected, although more painful than I would have liked. Follow-up care was difficult. Too many automated satisfaction survey requests. Direct follow-up resulted in multiple calls to an automated system with no direct human contact. I had multiple automated contact methods after the procedure, but it was almost impossible to reach an actual person. Frustrating that the automated care instructions often mentioned: “please reach out to us for any questions or concerns”. Cost of services is much higher than competing dental offices. I will be shopping for a better rate on several of the services recommended by Zak Dental.

Not Like It Used To Be
I have been going to Dr Zak's for years, but lately there have been issues. The current policy is to come in for X-rays and then join a Zoom-type meeting with a dentist to go over your X-rays. You then speak with a coordinator who tells you what you need to do- and most importantly- how much it will cost. Whatever the coordinator inputs into your file, is what you are stuck with in regards to the treatment plan and Dr Zak's will be giving you appointments based on whatever is written in your treatment plan. If for example, you want a cheaper type of crown rather than the porcelain one recommended to you, it could take two weeks to get the treatment plan corrected. Also discuss everything in advance or you could end up with a grey filling instead of a white one, for example. I do recommend Dr. Chung. He is quick to administer pain relief; other staff members: not so much. Pain is probably the number reason people avoid the dentist. Prices are very high here, lots of up-charges

I am registering a complaint with this office. They requested full payment of about 1900.00 before any work was performed. I did not comply but stated I would pay per procedure. My request was ignored so I asked to pay for my xrays and find another dentist. That was about 2 months ago, I have not heard from them. I want my xrays so I can move forward with another dentist. In addition, I was told I was too old to have a permanent tooth put in to replace the tooth that needs to be pulled. Very insulting. Thanks

You cannot call their office directly if you have a question regarding a statement, etc...their phone number goes to a call center and the office did not return calls. I just recently called their number a few times in a week to get an explanation on a statement that they sent me so I can quickly resolve it. The call center answered. I spoke to call center person Mai Mai, Drew, Cherish and Sam....neither the Long Beach Office manager Jerilee nor Dr. Zak returned calls as promised. This is frustrating. You do not want a Health Provider that you cannot contact directly and do not return your calls promptly. That is bad. Also, the office are more interested in up selling additional services. Once you complete a specified treatment plan....they will work on selling you another treatment plan...some not covered by dental insurance...more like a Sales Org. You may also have a different dentist diagnose and treat you....never the same one throughout the entire relationship. Beware!

Dr. Zak's service is phenomenal, great employees and customer service. They're all very professional at their job, and I always come out satisfied. They are also very punctual, which I appreciate because I like being on time, and I don't like when people take my spot in line, at Dr. Zak's I don't have to worry about that.

Love this place ??? I had my deep cleaning today and this is my very first where I had the minimum amount of pain. I actually found it relaxing that I just want to close my eyes and take a nap. Staffs are super friendly where I felt like they are my family ? I would definitely have all my dental work in this location. Place is clean and very welcoming. Very short wait time. Special thanks to Ferdy, Peter, Merlyn, Isabel and Dr. Williams ????

Wonderful service. The staff is very friendly and take the time to teach you about your teeth. They make sure you understand what is going on and why they recommend things. This is a place that cares for their patients and is not just trying to get money out of you.

My first visit with Dr Del Campo was 1 of the most pleasant and wonderful experience. I was accomodated right away. Getting my filling done was quick and was done professionally,no discomfort of any sort and was done in a timely manner.

When I first came to Dr. Zak, I had just removed my braces. My gums was in terrible shape, and I had to have laser treatment, for my swollen gums. I'm happy to say, my teeth and gums have improved dramatically. I'm sad, I have to move to Big Island, Hawaii. But I miss them, and hope my next dentist alright.
