Kindred Dentistry - Pasadena, California

I highly recommend Kindred Dentistry and Dr. Emily Chen as a dentist! She has been incredibly supportive and has helped me overcome my dental anxiety with her gentle and reassuring approach. Dr. Chen always explains each step, which has made me feel so much more comfortable during appointments. Her assistant Cesar is attentive, funny, and kind, adding to the relaxed atmosphere, and Amber at the front desk is always welcoming and efficient. The whole team creates such a warm, caring environment. Definitely the best dental experience I've ever had!

I recently visited Kindred Dentistry and had an exceptional experience with Dr. Chen and the entire team. From the moment I walked in, they prioritized my comfort and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. Dr. Chen was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all of my questions. The entire staff was friendly, and the environment was calm and welcoming, which made a huge difference for someone like me who usually feels anxious about dental visits. Dr. Chen’s gentle approach and genuine care made the appointment surprisingly enjoyable. I highly recommend Kindred Dentistry and Dr. Chen for anyone looking for a compassionate and professional dental experience!

I have so many positive things to say about Kindred Dentistry, which speaks volumes about the quality of the practice. Dr. Emily Chen. The dentist has historically been a traumatic experience for me (I'm 40). However, that is the furthest truth from Dr. Chen's intentional and professional practice. Dr Chen came highly recommended by my OBGYN. Having the endorsement of another doctor is a HUGE green flag.

Environment/Office/Space: beautiful, immaculate, spa-like, clean, and welcoming. The practice is female-owned/managed, and nine out of ten, you communicate directly with Dr. Chen when you call/email/text in. The personal touch is unmatched. I feel like a seen and cared for client vs. a dollar sign.

Supporting Staff: Ceaser is Dr. Chen's right hand and is excellent at what he does. He is the first phase of the experience at his practice. He is responsible for your X-rays and all the prep work. He's gentle and thoughtful when it comes time to place the sensors in your mouth and explain every step of your appointment.

Office Communication & Paperwork: Everything is paperless, digital, and easy to complete on your cellphone or computer. I love the chat/text interface (human communication/not a bot) that allows me to complete my paperwork, ask questions, and confirm the appointment scheduling. The team is speedy and responsive (I'm accustomed to 24-48-hour response times). My expectations are consistently exceeded.

Oral/Dental Care: Top TIER. Dr Chen and team care about your oral health more than making a profit. There were expensive procedures I thought I needed based on my research (webMD lol) that they redirected or shot down because it wasn't the best option for my oral health in the short and long term. I have cavity-prone teeth, a crowded mouth, receding gums from aggressive brushing, an old root canal that needs to be replaced, and 2-of-3 wisdom teeth that I just had removed (by Dr Chen). I've had one tooth pulled before, and it was a traumatic, painful experience that was plagued with infection by another dentist. The two wisdom teeth I had pulled with Dr. Chen were an easy/painless process. She took her time, made a point not to rush the process, and made sure my bone/gums were intact. Additionally, her office checked in on me weekly to ensure I was healing properly.

Also, can we talk about her state-of-the-art equipment? Say goodbye to the old-school ex-rays on sheets developed in the office. Everything is done in real-time and stored digitally. Every examination room has a smart screen/TV with the application used to manage patient ex-rays. As each image is taken, it's automatically loaded to the screen in front of you. Dr. Chen/Ceaser will talk you through your ex-rays, their assessment, and recommendations in real-time so you understand precisely what you're looking at and what needs to be done. I've never seen this technology before in my life, but it's a game-changer!

The Vibes: They have amazing music and all forms of media entertainment to distract you from what's happening in your mouth. I got to listen to "BBL Drizzy" and Jungle this week during my cleaning yesterday. Also, as a lifelong coffee and tea drinker, my teeth have never been this clean/white/smooth after a decent cleaning.

I hope this honest review and the attached pictures help you make an informed decision. My two cents: Don't walk; run to this practice and tell at least two friends.

I recently moved to LA and was pretty nervous about finding a new dentist. Thankfully, I found Dr. Emily, and I couldn't be happier! From the moment I called to when I walked in for the first time, I felt comfortable with her and her amazing team, Amber and Cesar. They really make a perfect match!

The office is super welcoming, clean, and modern, and the convenient free parking is a huge plus. They were incredibly helpful with my dental insurance, which was such a relief. I truly feel like I’m in good hands every time I visit.

I’m definitely spreading the word to everyone I know in the city, and if you need a dentist, this is the place to go! Dr. Emily and her team are the best! Thank you for everything!

The best dentist experience I've ever had. Dr. Emily Chen is marvelous - she is professional, thorough and has excellent communication skills, ensuring you know exactly what is happening with your teeth as you review photos/xrays together and lays out a comprehensive treatment plan, while also hearing your concerns and addressing them. Everything is very clear, straightforward and you feel heard. Cesar was my dental assistant and was great, he ensured I was comfortable at all times and provided great care advice during the cleaning process. When first arriving I was greeted by Amber who is wonderful, she handled the insurance breakdown for my treatment and walked me through any questions I had while also making scheduling my upcoming visits a breeze! Bonus, the office is like stepping into an Architectural Digest magazine, it's beautifully curated, clean and inviting. I can't say enough good things about Kindred Dentistry, I'm so excited to have finally found my dentist!! <3
