Dr.Brown is amazing! He is caring and really cares how you feel. He is professional yet has a refreshing sense of humor. He treats you and his staff with the utmost honesty and respect! I 100% recommend Dr. Brown and the staff at this clinic.

I went my appointment today for chipped tooth procedure. I was waiting in dental chair then Dr. Lee entered the room. This man didn't ask me my name, would look directly at me when I tried to ask about the procedure I was in for. He refused to answer any of my questions. Dr. Lee was cold stone rude, condescending. I want to know about the procedure itself and he replied with "There's all the tools over there on the counter, go ahead and look at them.

This wasn't helpful at all. I'm not a trained hygienist. Dr. Lee then said to me you can reschedule with a different doctor because people don't get to ask me any questions. I was appalled and in shock. Unbelievable. Michael Tong

Avoid at all cost. All they good at is doing is evaluating and X-ray so they can milk the insurance company. If you need cleaning they will literally schedule you to come back a different time. . they don’t even have a permanent doctors.

Every time is someone new or rotation from different locations. . im saying this based on my experience and everyone in my family. avoid any Sea Mar at any given moment.

Had my appt today at 2pm went in 30 mins early. Even with my insurance they wanted info of my landlords or if I'm a homeowner and how much $ I have left each month was insane, never been asked this before. Second there was blood spatter on the broken blinds in the waiting room 👀.

Then was trying to do X-rays and full exam when I went there for a referral and was told I just see Dr and they will give me referral but still wanted to do X-rays regardless. They were very sketch not to mention the office gave me vibes out a horror movie my sister was even skeptic of this place. I said you are not touching my mouth and got up and left
