Long Beach Orthodontics

I’m still honestly grossed out by the greed and attempted misrepresentation at this office. I’m very familiar with my insurance benefits and review them regularly. Before coming here, I had consultations at two other orthodontic offices who were transparent and confirmed my full $6,000 lifetime orthodontic benefit with Anthem PPO. During my consultation, Tina told me my insurance only covered $4,500, meaning I would need to pay $1,500 out of pocket. I immediately corrected her and explained that I had already confirmed with my insurance that $6,000 is covered at any in-network orthodontic office. She became defensive and asked how I could know that without preauthorization. After I explained again and showed her my benefits, she suddenly changed her tone, clicked around on the computer for a moment, and said she had read it wrong and that my insurance does cover $6,000, but then tried to adjust the pricing again by bringing up a deductible that did not apply. At that point, I stopped engaging. I went to a different orthodontist who used my full $6,000 benefit with no additional charges, and I am now in treatment with zero issues. Just a heads up to others to shop around and know your benefits. Transparency matters, and unfortunately this office did not demonstrate it.

I have had a wonderful experience with Long Beach Ortho so far! They have taken great care with straightening my teeth and ensure I am comfortable. Highly recommend

I love Dr. Lee and his whole team who have helped me correct my bite with aligners. They are amazing and professional. It has even been fun!

My family has been coming here for years! Dr. Lee, Dr. Hughes, Tina & the entire crew truly do give hospitality from the heart and have made my adult braces experience so smooth & easy. I can’t wait to see the results. Would recommend them to anyone in the Long Beach area :)

Best ortho ever!! I always feel so welcome and safe here :) Helen is the best assistant everrr!!
