TERRIBLE DENTAL EXPERIENCE

I Had a very distressing experience with Dr. Jaimeson Hofkes.
During my tooth extraction, he seemed unskilled and even left a piece of my tooth behind. It was clear he was panicking and his assistant appeared just as uncertain, just made me feel even more anxious. He's assistant looked so worried and added to my discomfort.

The extractions were incredible rough the way he pulled it so my jaw shifted to opposite side. I expected a professional and pain free experience, but instead I left feeling worse. I paid thousand of dollars and expected much better care. I would not recommend this dentist at all.

I am so grateful I found Center Plaza Dentistry! When I moved to the OC area, I was in need of a reliable dentist. After visiting their facility and meeting the staff, I felt confident I had made the right choice. Their clinic is spotless, the staff is incredibly friendly, and the dentists genuinely care about your well-being.

I previously visited another dentist in Anaheim who recommended several unnecessary treatments. Seeking a second opinion at Center Plaza Dentistry was the best decision—I learned my teeth were in great condition and didn’t need those extra procedures. Their honesty, integrity, and commitment to patient care truly stand out.

My experience at Center Plaza Dentistry has been the best I’ve ever had. Thank you, Center Plaza Dentistry! If you’re looking for a great dentist, look no further. You won’t regret your choice.

What a pleasure it is to recommend Center Plaza Dentistry, the office is a beautiful, clean, orderly practice with the latest technology in Dentistry Medicine and convenient to my house. I first met Dr Yin(April 2018) when I cracked a previously filled wisdom tooth back in April/2018. My family and I had moved into this area of Los Alamitos in 2016 and at this time I was still driving 17 miles north for continued visits with my previous Dentist until he retired at the end of 2017. A very worrisome position to be in when you have been with the same Dentist for almost 20 yrs.
Needless to say, having to find a new dentist was a huge concern for me since I’ve had a very complicated and difficult Dental history that stems back and started when I was hit by a car with Orthodontic braces that became embedded in my gums with multiple soft tissue trauma. Many corrective and uncomfortable procedure followed throughout those hours, days, wks and years and almost 30 years later, I still have an overall aversion and anxiety of Dental work in general.

I made an appointment and went in just a few days after. I was greeted by a friendly receptionist who had all my paperwork necessary on a clipboard ready for me to fill out and kindly offered me water or something else to drink. A pleasant dental hygienist then introduced herself and explained to me the process of a panoramic Xray and then few more Digital Xrays that focus on the detailed of each tooth, an exam by Dr. Yin after all these diagnostics. I then met the Dentist, a very soft-spoken, beautiful smile (Dr. Yin) who introduced herself and with her full attention gave me the time I needed to explain my chapters of Dental Trauma/history and my current and urgent need. Very kindly reassured me what would follow, a full detail health intake with options of treatment that were explained all along the way as it was being done and my options moving forward.
After all, was said and done on my first visit, I felt very comfortable with Dr Yin’s professionalism, she was patient, kind and caring. She gave me options and was respectful towards my budget at the time, offered me the Center Plaza In house insurance (which I was glad to sign up for) since I didn't have any Dental Health Insurance and the ability to do my dental work at my pace and schedule. This made me trust her very easily and I knew I had found my future Dentist. I scheduled my procedure early am as I needed to go pick up my daughter from school at 3 pm and were very accommodating. Dr Yin was very relaxed in her work as she did my procedure which gave me peace of mind, she has a very gentle hand, I felt minimal to no discomfort. It was even followed up by a phone call the next day to make sure I was ok and not in any discomfort. Since this visit, I have been here several times and don’t DREAD going to the dentist.
My husband now sees Dr. Hofkes (her husband) and is extremely comfortable too with the integrity of his work and also signed up for the in house insurance which has put both of us on a consistent schedule for our cleanings twice a year, a sure guarantee way to maintaining good dental health. We both have detailed plans (page pictured of MY plan of action) which are fantastic, as I know I can’t remember every single thing that was said sometimes on what tooth and my husband also has his which is so easy to revert back to for consistency. That was given to us after our first visit and keeps us on track as to what needs to be done/corrected and besides coming in twice a year for our cleanings, we schedule all the other work between those time frames at our pace for the current recommended treatment needed. I am so Happy with Dr. Yin.
I can’t say enough about what a change(and a relief) it is to have good dentist. Not only do they genuinely care about their patients and their lives, their families, current health problems that may be getting in the way of coming in, they care about their staff too and that comes across in the whole dynamics of the quality of care given and you can see that when you come in.

Ever since moving to CA 6 years ago, I have yet to find a dentist office that makes you feel comfortable and at ease from start to finish until I visited Center Plaza Dentistry. From the front office staff to the hygienist to the doctor, everyone was extremely pleasant, kind, and patient. I’m not sure how I missed this place for so long and wished I had known about them when I first moved here. They are so welcoming and gentle that I’ve transferred the rest of my family over to CPD. Thank you so much, CPD, for your patience and care!

I had the best experience at Center Plaza Dentistry. They made me feel so comfortable and really helped me not just with my dental needs, but also with my insurance and self esteem. Best dentist I have ever seen!

Right off the bat, from the moment the receptionist picked up the phone till the moment I left the facility after my appointment, the entire customer service experience from Center Plaza Dentistry was AMAZING!

Literally EVERYONE I interacted with was friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive (receptionist, technician, hygienist, dentist, etc.). The facility itself was well-decorated, well-lit, very cleanly and very professional.

I've literally never had a more positive experience at a dentist's office - and honestly, I've never even had a bad experience at a dentist's office before, it's just that this was a cream of the crop experience. I sincerely hope that whatever insurances I have for the rest of my life will be accepted at their office, because I don't want to go to any other dentist ever again.

I have severe dental anxiety and not the best dental journey. Center plaza dentistry is always warm and accommodating, they were extremely patient with me and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in the door. Thank you Dr. Hofkes!

This review is long overdue but I could not be more pleased and grateful to Dr. Yin and her team at Center Plaza Dentistry. I’ve been traveling for work most of my adult life which has made it hard for me to get established with a good family dentist. So I was so happy to find Dr. Yin’s practice which is in walking distance from my new job and home. It was incredibly easy to book an appointment via phone with her front desk staff, who are extremely helpful and welcoming. Dr. Yin took extra time and care during my appointment to ensure all of my dental x-rays and hx are up to date. I have an extensive hx including tooth fractures, root canals, and gum recession. Despite my extra sensitivity, I experienced the best, most comfortable cleaning I’ve ever had with Dr. Yin and her dental hygienist. She spent extra time with me afterwards sharing special tricks on flossing and how to minimize plaque build-up, as well as answered all my questions and concerns about preventing cavities, my ongoing gum recession, and teeth alignment. I felt heard and acknowledged, and she put me at ease. I truly feel I am in the best care with Dr. Yin and her team. I cannot recommend Dr. Yin and her marvelous team at Center Plaza Dentistry enough! They are well deserving of 5 stars and beyond!
