Had a wonderful experience at Western Dental & Orthodontics Kids in South Gate! The dental assistant Marylin and Dr. Martinez were amazing. Marylin was super friendly, respectful, and really knew her stuff. They're great with kids, especially when they're anxious or scared. Marylin and Claudia work together so well, always helping each other out during my kids' appointments. Yeah, there was a bit of a wait, but totally worth it. Highly recommend this place for pediatric dentistry!

Honestly, this dental office is one of the worst I've been to. They never respect appointment times—kept me waiting for hours and hours, and still didn't see me even though I had an appointment. Customer service is terrible, and the treatment results were really poor. Would not recommend for any dental services, especially emergency dental care.
Owner Response
We're sorry for your experience at Western Dental & Orthodontics Kids in South Gate. Long waits and poor service are not what we aim for. We'll use your feedback to improve our scheduling and customer care. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

Had a last-minute emergency with my braces and they said since I was a walk-in it would take a while. Honestly, I waited no more than 10 minutes and was called in. Amber helped me fix the problem before my Vegas trip, and I even had time to change my color! Super quick and friendly service for orthodontics.
Owner Response
Thanks, Leslie! We're glad Amber got your braces sorted quickly at Western Dental & Orthodontics Kids in South Gate. Hope you had a great Vegas trip! Come back anytime for your orthodontic needs.

Before coming here, my child was a patient with a different dentist straight out of dental school who misdiagnosed my child's teeth on several occasions. My child is autistic and we can't afford to be seen by inexperienced dentists as it only aggravates her autism. I'm so happy we found this location because they are very experienced, patient and always happy to answer our questions. My daughter isn't scared to come here because they're gentle and patient with her. Yes, they get very busy here, but that's because they're in demand for their professional services. I highly recommend.

Went to this location with my siblings, and honestly, it was disappointing. Staff wasn't friendly or welcoming when we arrived. There was confusion about the forms—they insisted only my mom could sign, causing delays. We had to get our dad to sign instead, which was frustrating. The walls near the waiting chairs looked dirty, and they seem to overbook appointments. Not a great experience for dental care.

We appreciate your feedback and are sorry for the confusion and frustration at Western Dental & Orthodontics Kids in South Gate. We'll work on making our check-in process clearer and keeping our waiting area cleaner. Thank you for helping us improve.

Western Dental in South Gate has excellent service every time. The front staff are always friendly, smiling, and respectful. Manuel the x-ray tech is super friendly, and Nancy was very polite. The doctors are patient and friendly too. I moved my son from a dentist in Bell because they always wanted to tie him down even when he was cooperative. Here, no issues. Highly recommend for kids' dental care!
