Japantown Dental: Alex Mendoza, D.D.S.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Alex Mendoza and his entire team for your dental care. I get very nervous about dental work, but Dr. Alex carefully and thoughtfully helped me through a complex procedure involving removing two crowns and treating cavities underneath. He was excellent about listening to my concerns and choosing the best option to keep my Invisalign treatment on track. He made me feel completely comfortable, even the injections were smooth and painless! Whether it's a major procedure or just a general checkup, you will be in good hands.

I was a patient at Japantown Dental for about a year or two (which, in insurance talk, equates to 2-4 visits), until only recently due to a change of insurance. As a DTSJ resident, the location is prime! The service was also wonderful - I always appreciated how thorough, yet gentle, they were at each visit. the doctor has a very warm personality - surely taking and review notes before/after each visit - he goes the extra mile to remember your name, what you mentioned your summer plans were at your last visit, etc. I definitely recommend Japantown Dental, and would continue to be a patient here if not for my change of insurance

I feel more confident when Dr. Mendoza does my dental work. Shirley is an excellent assistant Equipment seems very modern. Receptionist seems very pushy in making sure payments are made.

Dr. Mendoza and his staff is extremely accommodating and provided incredible care. From the front desk, dental assistant, to Dr. Mendoza himself everyone was attentive, thorough, and took the time to explain every step of the procedure. The office has plenty of parking and a very relaxing and comfortable reception area while you wait for your appointment. Highly recommend Dr. Mendoza if you are seeking dental care in the area!

Dr. Mendoza is a great dentist! The office is very efficient, the staff is great. Thank you so much.

Yes. Yes. Hell yes! I’ll preface this by saying, I have a huge phobia of dentists after a traumatic visit 30 years ago. Today, I woke up with a dental emergency. I used my insurance to locate a nearby dentist. I called the office and they fit me in same day. Dr Joe and the team were amazing from the moment I walked in. The atmosphere is very calming. And the staff, knowing of my anxiety, did everything to make me comfortable. Dr Joe came in, examined me, and had a very direct conversation about the issue. He advised he was referring me to a specialist due to my condition. The empathy and compassion was phenomenal. Everything was clean and sterile. They have accessible parking lot and ADA ramp. I think I found my permanent dentist. Thank you team.

I really like this dentist, they don’t push work that is not needed, and ask you what you are looking for in dental care. I’ve hopped around a few dentists, as they always just want to do work, and don’t ask what you want. The staff is also friendly. It’s also in my neighborhood.
