K & E Family Dental

This past Wednesday was the first time my parents and I visited K&E Dental in Lawndale ??! My dentist, Dr Kris Murakawa, who I have been going to for my own dental care at Murakawa Dental in Alhambra, co-owns K&E Dental with her husband, Dr Eric Lin ?! My parents had been going to a dentist in Buena Park (North Orange County ?). Both of them received their deep cleaning there last month and thought the deep cleaning services were fine. But my mom became skeptical of some of the potential charges that this Buena Park dental office was making that were not part of the treatment care plan, and that even the insurance company was flagging. I asked Dr Kris for advice, and asked if perhaps it might be best for my parents to get a second opinion. Because her own dental office in Alhambra is heavily booked with appointments, and also because it’s difficult in general for us to drive my parents’ mobility van all the way to San Gabriel Valley and park it there, I asked her if perhaps my parents might be able to see her husband, Dr Eric, at their K&E Lawndale office. She provided me with their phone number. I made an appointment right away for my dad, whose tooth was hurting him. Dr Eric and his staff were super warm, friendly and welcoming ?! They took new X-rays and made my parents feel very comfortable ☺️! Based on the X-rays, Dr Eric was really thorough with his examination, gave a very solid and candid second opinion, and told us what he really felt needed to be done versus what was not necessary. He said my dad needed to do a tooth extraction, but also said he felt that bridge work to be done with 2 subsequent appointments would be better than doing an implant. The total of 3 appointments done over about 3 weeks (including yesterday’s appointment) was much better than having to do an implant (which, from start to finish, could take as long as up to 8 months). We were impressed with his really warm bedside manner and with how he and his staff promptly started work right away ?! They took special care into consideration, due to his medical condition and special needs ☺️. And it just so happens that they extracted his tooth ? a few days before his birthday weekend ? ? ? ? so he can actually enjoy his birthday cake ? and be able to eat pain-free ?! Thank you ❤️ all so much, Dr Kris, Dr Eric and everyone at K&E Dental ?? ?!! My parents now feel like they are in much better hands ?!! They haven’t felt like this at any dental office for a very long time ?! It really helped that their office also has an ADA restroom with a large space and well-equipped with grab bars ?! This restroom also has a Koala Kare ? diaper-changing station for clients who have to change diapers for their babies ?. It also really helped that there are 2 van-accessible ? handicapped spots right in front of the building. The parking lot that K&E shares with a Dollar Tree store ? ? can get busy. But overall, the parking is manageable. To go with the super optimistic and vibrant atmosphere of the awesome staff ? , the dental office itself is so beautifully decorated ? with UCLA ? ? ?? and USC ✌? ❤️? nostalgia ?!! As well as a calming aquarium ? ??to ease any nerves ?? anyone might have going to the dentist ? ?! I would highly recommend anyone who is looking ? for a great dentist and dental practice to come here ? ?!! We definitely look forward to coming back ?!!

You got a nice smile! This clinic is super updated, clean, and employs the most friendly and knowledgeful staff. From the moment you call, a kind receptionist will work with your busy schedule to ensure a quick appointment. All of the hygienists, technicians, front desk, and the doctors are extremely personable. I love that they clearly outline the prices without any surprise fees and discuss what your insurance provider will cover. They truly take the time to discuss treatment plans in detail and are very considerate of your financial conerns. Kudos to the front desk for always playing soothing and fun music to help ease any nerves of going to the dentist. Their equipment is fully updated with a digital x ray machine and the finest tools to get you the whitest smile. Everything is super sterile and there is a lovely waiting room with a kids corner. I've been here for everything from an annual teeth cleaning to an effortless tooth implant. They are so gentle with all of their procedures and considerate of all pain. I appreciate their thorough home instructions to ensure comfort and their email/text appointment reminders. Dr. Lin and your kind employees, I want to thank you for helping me achieve the healthiest smile. I'm not only smiling because my teeth are in the best condition they've ever been, but I'm very happy to have a dentist office as awesome as yours!!! *they offer Saturday appointments for those with busy schedules *accept most insurances, just call to verify

I have since changed my mind about my 2 star review over a year ago.: see below at the end of this review. I have come to find that a lot of the mishaps that I had was due to miscommunication. Once the Dr. And I started working together things seemed to get better between he and I and the staff. He was very patient with me in communicating our next steps and the process of my treatment as well as informing the the staff of this process so that everyone is on the same page. I am glad that didn't give up on this place or my dentist because I did believe in him as he was the first dentist that I didn't feel any pain with and my best dentist. As far as Inca the receptionist, we were able to work through our miscommunications. She has been very patient, encouraging, and positive in supporting throughout this long process of my dental treatment. I am sorry Inca for my negative review of you in the past. You have been very nice to me.? ⭐⭐past review The receptionist Inka/Inca is rude. Really poor customer service talks over you put the phone down sighs and talks back. Considering finding another office. Should not have to deal with this. Haven't figured if its the doctors or the staff will keep u updated.

This was my go to dentist for a few years now up until today. There’s nothing worst then receiving a statement bill a year later being responsible for charges that you had absolutely no idea 1. Your insurance didn’t cover and 2. That you even had on the radar. Why these people call me in February 2024 about a bill that was due way back in March 2023. Oh their excuse we’re sorry for the inconvenience we are working hard to get things back on track in our offices. A whole year of neglectful book keeping is WILD, Dis-tasteful and irresponsible to say the least. I’m sooo irritated because now it seems I have a bill I NEVER knew about that I have to pay. Nevertheless I wasn’t even TOLD my insurance wouldn’t cover the procedure. It’s terrible and the world definitely needs to be aware because this can happen to you. Get a bill a year later that’s crazy!!!!

This office is great! From the staff to the dentist and hygienist, everyone was so friendly and professional. I felt really comfortable because the office is super clean and I can tell they are doing everything they can to keep their employees and patients safe. Thanks Dr Lin for the awesome dental experience!! My family and I will be back for sure.

I can't speak highly enough about the care I’ve received from both Dr. Katie and Dr. Lin. From the moment you walk in, it’s clear that patient comfort and quality care are their top priorities. The entire team is welcoming and attentive, making each visit a pleasant experience rather than a chore. What really sets them apart is their attention to detail and genuine concern for patients’ well-being. They take the time to thoroughly explain each procedure, ensuring I feel informed and comfortable with my treatment plan. If you’re looking for dentists who genuinely care about your dental health and comfort, I couldn’t recommend Dr. Katie and Dr. Lin more highly.

I’ve come to K&E for a few years now and always leave smiling with my extra clean and bright teeth. Dr. Katie and Daisy are a dream team! I love the dynamic within the team here at K&E they know what they’re doing, they’re happy to help, and you can tell they enjoy their team. I’m happy I chose this office.
