I have had a lot of dental work done to me and have visited many dentists. With my new HMO insurance, I picked Pasadena Dental Care because I had a friend who went there like 11 years ago and liked it. So I decided to give it a try. Staff seems somewhat friendly, but not professional. I don't like how you don't have privacy when talking about your chart and financial stuff. My exam was ok . It was with Dr. Wyndhamsmith. When I was told what needed to be done I made my appt. thinking I'd get the same dentist. When my appt. date came up and I was called into the room, I noticed I was going to be seen by a different dentist and asked the assistant 's opinion on him. His name is Dr. Kim Michael. She described him as bold, not talkative and a fast worker. As soon as that dentist walked into my room it became a nightmare for me. My procedure was very simple and he, by looking in my mouth, wanted to do major work on my tooth. I was trying to explain to him what Dr. Wyndhamsmith diagnosed (even though it was in my chart) and he just kept ignoring me. Then after he read my chart, he was like oh ok, we just have to do this. Which was what I tried to tell him. Indeed this dentist works so fast that it was SOOOOO painful for me and he didnt care to ask how I was doing. His job was just to finish ASAP. He does his job and leaves the room. Like ""don't bother me"" attitude. The actual place I would say is very dirty and unsanitized. No plastic anywhere. The handle on the light that's above was filled with blod prints from the dentist grabbing it. They seemed very unorganized. Aftering they started working on me, the dentist kept calling out for different tools and the assistants kept having to run out for them. I would just hate for someone who fears the dentist or is their first time to have to go to Dr. Michael. It would just make their exp. much worse than it already may be.
Cons: You'll never want to visit the dentist again!
