Brian Cho, DDS

Dr. Cho is a caring doctor. I called him 15 minutes before his office was to close because my mother had developed a peridontal abscess. Dr. Cho stayed past closing time to evaluate my mom and take care of the prescription and referral that she needed. He was sweet and patient, despite the fact that we walked in in the evening, and with my fussy toddler. Thank you!

I found Dr. Cho on Unilocal and I was SO grateful when I found out he accepted my insurance. He’s a really great doctor and he knows how to make you feel comfortable.
His staff is really nice and friendly. I know some reviews talk about his previous receptionist but I haven’t seen her the last 2 times I’ve visited Dr. Cho. And honestly she wasn’t even that bad.
When I was younger I chipped the corner of my front tooth and since then I’ve always been somewhat subconscious of my teeth. Today Dr. Cho changed out the filling that a previous doctor did years ago since the colors didn’t match. He did a really great job and he wanted to make sure it was perfect and didn’t have a distinguishing line like I was used to having on my tooth (although it was faint and most people wouldn’t notice I appreciated him going that extra mile for me).
I am considering just getting veneers now so that I don’t have to change them again IF the color happens to change in the future and I will definitely be going to Dr. Cho for that as well.
Dr. Cho is your guy. He’s the one to go to and trust you teeth with.

Just an update. About 2.5 years since I wrote my first review. I’ve still been going to Dr. Cho. I just had the worst issue of my life with a root canal I had done almost two years ago in Chicago. My jaw got infected and it was the worst pain of my life. I had to have it re-​done by Dr. Pratte in La Canada (highly recommended!). Dr. Cho helped me throughout the whole process, even when I text him on a Friday night when pain started coming back mid-​process! What dentist is available on weekend nights through text for help? None. This man is amazing. If you’re not seeing Dr. Cho, you’re basically having a really terrible dental experience.

Can I just say I love my new dentist !!! He’s funny smart and very respectful of his customers. he’s very humble, he explained what was wrong with my tooth and everything he was doing he would tell me so I’m not sitting their wondering what is going on… his prices are also very reasonable! Most places charge $ 90 – 100 for X-​ray he charges $ 30 and he waives it if you actually get work done on your teeth. I just can’t stop bragging about him to whoever needs a dentist. He’s just amazing

Dr. Cho is a amazing dentist who truly cares about his patients. I have never been very fond of dentists but this gentleman has a way of putting you at ease and has a confidence about him that makes you feel like your in the right hands. Thank you for all your hard work Dr. Cho it’s much appreciated

I love Dr. Cho. I hate going to the dentist and he makes a point to make me feel comfortable and talks me through all procedures. When I first started coming to him, I was on a very strict budget and he was always very helpful in suggesting ways I could save money on the treatments I needed. I’ve never had a dentist that had any concern for helping me save money. He’s a really good guy and an excellent dentist. They accept my MPI Anthem Blue Cross insurance too!

I’ve always hated going to the dentist. HATRED. Serious dread. Dr. Cho is the first dentist that truly makes me feel happy to visit! I have so much work to do on my teeth, but every time I come in it’s super painless. He is top level pro.
Quick, friendly and explains all procedures and the potential cause of issues. I trust him and the staff, they are the best hands down!
With no insurance they work with budget, timing, and they are ALWAYS busy! He just constantly buzzes patient to patient doing amazing work. Passionate!
Seriously. thank you!

AMAZING! Hadn’t been to the dentist in years. Dr. Cho & his staff took great care in doing a dental cleaning and filling two cavities. Very gentle and professional. I found my new dentist.

I generally don’t write reviews. (I leave it to my husband) but I will share my experience and let you decide. I felt Dr. Cho was good and decent when I first came but I feel he’s gotten greedy, affecting the end result. In addition, his office manager is not competent.
Having read the fabulous reviews, I was excited about a dentist with moral values and was, initially, not disappointed with how he explained everything and so forth. At the first visit I asked him about a night guard and he said don’t waste your money, just go buy one from Save On. He said he could make it for me for a couple hundred dollars but you can buy it at a drugstore for $ 30. I appreciated his honesty. I never got around to buying one and about a year later he told me I needed a night guard because of excessive grinding and offered to make me one. When I picked it up I realized he gave me a flimsy one exactly like what they sell at drugstores. On top of charging my insurance they charged me $ 250 extra. I paid for it because I was too shy to say wait a minute, isn’t this what you originally told me not to do? Again and again his office manager told me she would bill the insurance for this and let me know what they pay but she never did. She deny the whole thing and I ended up paying few hundred out of pocket.
When I made an appointment to get a crown, she told me she would call the insurance and let me know if I had to pay anything out of pocket. She never did call so went I went for the procedure assuming I didn’t have to pay anything. A month later I receive a bill for $ 460. When I called her, she told me it was a mistake and she would call me back. She never did. Today I went for my teeth cleaning and when making an appointment on my way out, she told me I still had a balance due of $ 460. Off course she denied ever talking to me about this or about letting me know on the phone. I guess when he told me at the beginning he wanted an office in Beverly Hills I should’ve gotten the hint

Best experience I’ve had with a dentist. Everyone is really nice, and Dr. Cho is super knowledgeable and has great attitude! Don’t be turned away by the location.

Dr. Cho is a great man, he’s honest, caring, and truly a blessing to have as our doctor. He cares about his patients like family not a number. He’s honest and truly one in a million. Dr. Cho is smart and his quality of work is elite. His staff are truly hard working and
shows that they enjoy their job. The receptionist is a sweet
is nice buy can have a bit of language barrier. Honestly I recommend him to anyone who wants a dentist as a friend who knows you by name. He will work with you payment wise don’t be scared if you don’t have insurance. Highly recommend
might be months until you can get an appointment but trust me grab any appointment possible you won’t regret it. Thank you Dr. Brian Cho for being a humble and genuine person. There should be more Healthcare professionals like you.

Dr. Cho is incredible. He’s priced right and upbeat and he’s really efficient. Plus if I have a problem with a tooth, he’s available. This is unsolicited and I don’t put up reviews very often, but I just left the office after another great visit and felt compelled to say something.
Thanks, Dr. Cho!

I know what you’re thinking when you see that this dentist office is in the same plaza as a 7 – 11 and it seems kind of sketchy. I PROMISE you that you should go in anyway — Dr. Cho is awesome!
He and I have been seeing a lot of each other since I finally have the funds to buckle down and get some serious dental work done and he has been so, so kind and helpful. I trust his opinion and compared to some other dentists I’ve seen in the past, he is much more down to earth and with a great sense of humor, too.
If you are looking for a new dentist in the area here he is!

I love Dr. Cho, and I’ve sent everyone I know to him. Great dental care. Absurdly reasonable pricing. Long live the Cho.

«As good as it gets» is to sum up my many years experience with Dr Cho. He has always been helpful, insightful, gentle and with a sense of humor. Dr Cho has always been explanatory of the process, what’s going on at the moment, the type of tools that he uses, etc, to reassure I have an idea what exactly is going on in my mouth. He used to do all the work himself, but now gets more helpers and a hygienist. The cleaning job from the female hygienist was not as great of an experience compared to when Dr Cho did for me a while back, but I’m glad he could spend more time and focus on the more complicated stuff. I don’t have insurance for while now but the cost of the care has always been very reasonable that I didn’t bother getting an insurance. One down side as many others mentioned is the Korean lady in the front. She is very kind and very helpful, no doubt, just a bit difficult to communicate with sometimes due to her native tongue. The other front lady is wonderful and always helpful as well. I actually commend Dr Cho to keep the Korean lady working all these years, even with all the complaints.

Sorry, Dr Cho, they only let me give you 5 Stars or I’ll give you ten! :D

I found Dr. Cho based on his great Unilocal reviews. Before my first visit, I was a little nervous about going in to get work done because it had been a while since I had seen a dentist. At my first visit, I was so glad I came in. Dr. Cho is caring, patient, and explains everything he is doing to you. I have since moved out of the area but I still go to him! BEST DENTIST EVER. Don’t put off going like I did. But even if you do, go to him and you will be in good hands!

When it comes to do with dentist, I am very picky about choosing right dentist because some dentists doesn’t even bothered to explain the procedures in detail may be because they wanna rush through it. I havent gone to dentist for 3 years meaning that last time i went to dentist to remove all my wisdom teeths because my wisdom teeths were infected terribly all of the sudden. That terrible pains prevented me from eating delicious foods and snacks and brushing my teeth before bed. Therefore, I’ve been so dreadful even thinking about visiting dentist ever since terrible pains after my wisdom teeth removals. Hand down, Best dentist here in Los Angeles so far not just because his staffs are easy to deal with it, no language barrier issues and offices are nice, clean and neat inside. When he checked up my teeth, I havent had any cavities last time i went to dentist back in 2012. He takes his time to explain the procedures before and after the treatment in details unlike any other dentists I’ve been so far. Whenever I need my teeth get fixed or if something went wrong with my teeth, I will only stick to this dentist in the future.

Dr. Cho is the best! I started coming to him in August 2013 and he has been the best dentist so far. He speaks English super well, is really intelligent, and always tells you everything he is doing. His office assistants are super sweet and it’s always easy to get an appt, even in the same week.
I had to get a crown about a year ago and the process was seamless — though not painless ;). Because I have a heavy bite, I have to get the crown replaced. Dr. Cho gave me my options and suggested the best one in his professional opinion. I always trust that he is doing what’s best for me and my father-​in-​law who is also a dentist agrees!
Dr. Cho is super cool — he’s young, energetic, and I will be going to him for as long as I live in Glendale!
The only reason the office gets 4 starts instead of 5 is there is an elderly Asian woman that works at the front and she doesn’t speak English very well. I called to give my new insurance information and it took 10 minutes for her to even figure out what I was talking about. When I was spelling my last name which starts with a «G», she kept saying «G as in Zebra?» and thus, could not find my file. She’s super sweet but it was just frustrating as a patient to deal with this.

I’ve waited 1.5 years to post this review as I wanted to be completely certain. I’ve been to so many dentists, and I’ve never been satisfied with any of them, as some were very pushy with unnecessary services or procedures, unethical, or services provided weren’t the best.
Dr. Cho is the only dentist I trust. He is honest, knowledgeable, and never pushy. He gives you different options and let’s you make the decision. He’ll also pick the best option for the patient even though it’s not the best money maker for him. I also love his hygienists. Every one of them has been knowledgeable, cheery, and NEVER pushy.
Although we have since moved away from Glendale, my husband and I make the fifty miles round trip drive every six months because that’s how much we like him!

It’s impossible to speak to the receptionist here. And I’m used to Chinese accents… That isn’t the issue. I was asking if they accept my insurance and she kept answering questions I didn’t ask.
If love to try this dentist because I’ve heard great things, but apparently they don’t care about new patients.
