Dr. Stella's Childrens' Dentistry

So many great things to say about this place! First of all, as soon as you walk in the place it is so fun and colorful and you're always welcomed with the friendliest staff. Secondly, I love how comfortable and welcomed the staff makes my kids feel from the moment they walk us in explaining everything each step of the way in the sweetest most patient way.

Today my daughter had her first filling done with Dr. Ruben and I love how patient and gentle he was. He was making her feel super comfortable and guiding not only her but me on the way. He wanted to make sure she had a good experience being her first time and suggested that we only do one side at a time. What a great call, she enjoyed the experienced and said it was painless, once I mentioned we would be back she was totally ok with it.

As a child, I had the worse experiences at the dentist and I'm so glad a place like this exists where I can take my kids and give them a great experience. Thank you FantasticDental!

My son absolutely loves this place. The staff is so nice and the thought process behind the amusement park theme is genius. This business is really in tune with their customers and are helping to change any negative stigmatism around going to the dentist.

The service is great we are covered with double PPO dental insurance but every time we get told her insurance is not in network. I guess it works different when billing for Pediatrician. we always get charge additional $500.00

My daughter who is almost 7 has been coming to this dentist office since she was 2. I have always been completely satisfied with the patient care they provide. The dentists and office staff are always super nice and extremely patient with the little ones.

We've been going to Funtastic Dental since my oldest was 2.5 yrs old. It's been a really good experience each time. He's now 8 yrs old and our youngest just had her first appointment at 18 months. They are highly supportive of the kids and parents. Highly recommend

My kids absolutely love going to the dentist because of this place! Everyone is so friendly and gentle and the doctors are very knowledgeable.

This was my daughter's 1st time transitioning from the kids practice to the adult side. She was a little anxious, but we could not be happier after our visit. Huge shout out to our hygienist Alexis.she is definitely the best ever! Love you!

Great hygienist, she explained everything very well and showed my 13 year old proper brushing techniques for his braces

We had been coming to Funtastic for a few years, and the level of care was always good with the dental hygienists and the dentist themselves. However, the experience with the front office is something to be desired. First, we had booked a Saturday appointment. When booking a Saturday appointment you get threatening texts and emails leading up to the appointment warning you that will be black balled from Sat appointments if you cancel or don't show up.

With our youngest child, they would only do morning appointments, and continued this policy even when he got bigger with no flexibility. Also be warned that this practice is outside of most insurance plans so be prepared to pay $$$$. They will demand payment immediately prior to submitting it to the insurance. Initially we were paying about 20% out of pocket which wasn't terrible, but then after our last visit we learned that we would have to pay 90% out of pocket! We ended up paying almost $600 for two cleanings. We ended up finding another dentist who was just as good and in network with our plan.

Dr. Kao and Marisol are the best people you can ask for to care for your child's dental needs. I have an autistic teenager who needs a lot of care when it comes to his teeth. They are able to make him comfortable and at ease. The fact that my son even lets them look at his teeth is amazing. The front office staff are also so friendly and easy to communicate with via call or text. I'm so thankful that they are there.

We've been going to this office for the past 6 years and this office is out of my network but because my daughter enjoys the experience, I pay the additional fees. This past visit was just not what it used to be. I don't know if it's Covid or maybe something else is going on. But for years my daughter prides herself on not having any cavities.

There was a no cavity club where she got a pencil and was entered into a raffle. Well this visit she didn't get a pencil, no raffle, no good job on no cavities. Nothing. On top of all this 6 months cleaning she didn't even get a goodie bag with a new toothbrush, floss and sticker. Which she looks forward too. When your a kid who's had multiple experiences in your office to walk away feeling cheated it hurt my heart. She said mom I want to go where you go now.

My 8 year old son who is special needs has his tooth removed today. I was a nervous wreck. Had absolutely no reason to worry. The dentist and assistants did an amazing job while explaining each step and keeping us both calm. I definitely recommend. So great full for the kindness and care we received today.

My son loves Funtastic dental. He love the staff and everyone at Funtastic are so welcoming. I recommend Funtastic to all parents your kids would love it here.

Everyone at FUNtastic is absolutely amazing with kids. They make them feel comfortable and safe. My 4 year old squealed with excitement when she realized we were at the dentist. Very thorough examinations and work. The actual office is SUPER clean. The decor is fun and really well done.

Dr Ruben always makes us feel comfortable about our visit. The dental assistants are awesome. They always are supportive. We have been clients for 4 years but

Previously I had a couple of great experiences here, however over the past year, the quality of their service has tanked. The wait time for an appointment or a call back is terrible. They boast multiple options to contact them, to which no one responds. When I finally talk to a live person and state there is frustration because no one is returning my calls or emails, she says, "Oh, just give them time, it's not an emergency and we're not 24/7. They'll get back to you." This is OVER 6 weeks after initial contact for a routine check up.

This practice would probably benefit from shaping up their front office staff, as they are who we typically deal with and set the expectation for how the business operates. As of now, I'll be taking my child elsewhere where our business will be appreciated.

This was the very first time my two children had visited a dentist, and I must admit I was extremely happy with my choice in selecting this facility. I was impressed by the professionalism of every staff who greeted us. They took their time to go over every step of the visit and answered all of my questions/ concerns. Also, I want to give thumps up for the incredible artwork it has, an illusion of a magical . Without a doubt, I recommend this dental facility!

My Son and I love Funtastic Dental. They make him feel comfortable, he's not scared, they play great movies. Lol

Such a great experience with Dr. Ruben and his assistant Olga! They so great at talking and explaining things to the kids as well as parents throughout the entire process. Dr. Ruben continues to encourage and give positive reinforcements during the entire process. This is like Disneyland's Dental Experience lol. So happy we were referred by our friends to come here for our first dental experience & plan on staying here. Thank you FunTastic Dental for a great experience!

Excellent experience for my 4 year old. He had some work done by Dr. Ruben and Olga. Thank you both for making him feel comfortable. The appointment went so well. Dr Ruben explained the tools in a child friendly way. He even got to watch his favorite movie Cars and Dr. Ruben was fast just like Lightning McQueen! He received prizes at the end too.

There are two reasons we took our care elsewhere (and have been very happy ever since): 1) My 9 yr old son was a bit nervous (not crying but tense) and the dentist was quite insistent on giving laughing gas. I refused and encouraged my son to put mind over matter but they wouldn't proceed without prior confirmation from his other doctors, because of his unique medical history (he had a lot of anesthesia in past procedures so we prefer to avoid it if we can). 2) My son chipped his front tooth this week after hours.

I called at 7pm and requested a call back first thing in the morning to see if he can be seen ASAP. I called an hour after they opened the next day, no answer (voicemail again). I kept calling four more times in a span of 20 mins around 9:15 (they opened at 8), no answer. I gave up and called a better dentist, got in within hours and will keep going back to that dentist.

I still haven't heard from them even though clearly my son was in need of urgent care. Lots of other good pediatric dentists out there! Keep looking, we've been happy since we moved on.

Unfortunately our experiences here with the billing and them leading us to believe that we were an in-network customer when in fact we were not lead to Astronomical bills for simple kids dental cleanings. I asked them why they were not up front about it with us when we asked and had them call our insurance to verify. Instead they said "yes you are covered" which in fact meant yes you are covered under the out of network coverage!

I also verified from a family member who is a prominent dentist here in California that they also are billing astronomical amounts for the procedures rendered. I emphasized with them why would I go to your dental office and pay out of network prices when I pay for PPO dental insurance that just doesn't make sense. I have tried to contact them to make it right and to no avail as they have not contacted us back yet.

I guess the silver lining here is that we had only gone to them twice before we realized their shady business practices and are thankful our kids didn't need anything more than simple cleanings and X-rays. I would tread with caution when looking here for a pediatric dentist. The dentists themselves seemed to be good but the front office and billing are a complete nightmare.

Funtastic dental is amazing! Dr. Ruben and Olga works wonders on my daughters teeth and made her feel very comfortable during her treatments. She loves going to the dentist and it's because the staff is so amazing!

I cannot say enough about this place! Super easy to book an appointment and they were super accommodating when I was running a tad bit late. Thank you! Marisol was the best and she really made my daughter feel comfortable! Dr. Kao was excellent! Honestly the whole experience from entrance to exit was outstanding. Thank you so much for making my daughter's first dental visit such.l a positive one!

Funtastic is great. We've seen several of the dentists here and most recently Dr. Ruben took care of a small filling my six year old needed. They are proactive about treatment but don't overtreat, which I appreciate. And, appointments are efficient. My daughter loves the movies and the little toys/stickers after her appointment. Covid protocols are thorough- we feel as safe as one can going to the dentist in a pandemic.

The best staff. My 6year old loves coming to this place. Everyone is very patient, and children friendly. I am proud tohave picked this office based on their reviews. THEY ARE AMAZING!

Love this place. Great Covid precautions, super friendly staff, constant communication of eta and my 2 year old was a dream for them! They must have the magic touch!

This was my first time taking my 3 year old to the dentist and I was so nervous! This place is so awesome and they superseded my expectations. They are so patient and gentle. Thank you Funtastic, you guys are awesome! 10/10 would recommend to anyone!

Still a great peds dentist office! Nice front office staff, professional and friendly dental hygienists. Great Dentists with good bedside manner. The office always smells clean, is clean and is updated with new kiddo movies to watch, fun toothpaste options for the kids to choose. They offer happy gas prior to any teeth cavity work. Our insurance covers their services.

My kids look forward to coming here! They are now age 9 and 7. My son and daughter aren't afraid of the dentist like i was as a kid or my hubby when office just saw kids but did not specialize in kids like they do here.

The BEST CHILDREN'S dentist EVER! Dr. Joyce and Olga are the dream team. My son has autism and we couldn't ask for a better experience when having both a filling and having to sealing some molars! Highly recommend

My son had such a great 2nd visit with Dr Klein! And his wonderful assistant Stephanie! I absolutely love this office. (Wish I came here as a kid)
