“The doctor is great, before you are seen with him he wants to know if you have any concerns which he listens and notates. The lady at the front desk is very nice. She does a very good job letting you know the price you pay should your insurance not cover and she will show you the actual cost, rather than lying like some places I have gone to. I’m definitely going back here for any future work.”

About Dr. Jonathan Lee
Dr. Jonathan K. Lee was awarded a National Institute of Health (NIH) grant and furthered his education by conducting research on the relationship between oral bacteria and systemic disease at the UCLA School of Dentistry. Motivated by his desire to apply his research clinically to help people suffering from dental disease, he pursued his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at the University of California, Los Angeles, which he received in 2005.
Upon obtaining his dental degree and license to practice in California, Dr. Lee embarked on a General Practice Residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in Bronx, NY. There, he gained valuable practical skills in all facets of clinical dentistry within a rigorous Level 1 Trauma Center environment and strengthened his belief in treating patients with integrity and respect.
Dr. Lee has been practicing in Los Angeles for more than 20 years, most of them in the city of Montebello. Treating and caring for the hardworking local community compelled him to recently acquire an existing office that has served Montebello for more than 30 years.
He firmly believes in delivering quality care with a gentle touch, ethics, and transparency, and he greatly appreciates his patients for entrusting him with their dental health needs.
When he's not caring for his patients, Dr. Lee enjoys traveling with his wife and dog, Beany, as well as attending music concerts and UCLA football games.

Amazing! I haven’t been to a dentist in a long time, but Dr. Lee and his staff were incredible. Everyone made me feel so comfortable and cared for. Especially the gentleman at the end who did the polishing and flossing — he gave me great advice on how to keep up with my dental care at home. Highly recommend!

I went in for fillings with Dr. Johnathan Lee , and the experience was excellent. The entire process was quick, painless, and very professional. Dr. Lee
made sure I was comfortable the whole time and explained everything clearly. The staff was friendly and welcoming as well. I really appreciate the great care and highly recommend this office to anyone needing dental work.

Great experience. Dr. Lee is kind, compassionate, but thorough, I always feel like I'm in good hands. The rest of the staff in the office are great too. Would recommend.

This provider is an excellent option for all the things which actually matter - experienced doctor with good advice, nice office manager to work with, good dental staff for any dental work, and convenient online scheduling of appointments (which is more uncommon than you think)
Highly recommend going here! (I have for 2 years and counting)
August 13, 2025Kevin L.Verified patient
Incredibly friendly staff. In fact, front desk, Liz, not only has superb PR skills but was fantastic at reminding the doctor with recommended prescriptions.
Dr. Lee, overall nice and very gentle. Answered all my concerns and suggested additional dental alternatives to my oral issues. Would definitely recommended.
Office is in a safe vicinity. Right next to social security office, gym, and a few eateries (bakery and a few restaurants). Plenty of parking and overall very safe.

Dr. Lee was hands down the best dentist I've ever seen. He listened to all my concerns about my teeth sensitivity, did a really thorough exam and made sure that all my questions were answered. He'll be my only dentist from now on.

I think it’s safe to say I found a doctor I want to stay with for the long run. The staff is friendly and the Dr is super nice. He addressed all my issues and concerns. His hands are very light. They are very straight forward here, as in, they don’t try to upsell anything. Definitely recommend. I will be coming here from now on.
March 29, 2025Veronika C.Verified patient
Fantastic choice. I drove a bit out of the way just because the reviews for Dr. Lee and his office were glowing, and it was well worth it. I was able to get my wisdom tooth extracted on the same day, and Dr. Lee was honest and communicative and did not enforce that I needed to remove a tooth (or more).

What a great practice!! So professional, Dr Lee is amazing and very knowledgeable, takes time, and doesn't just want to "sell you something". I felt like I was in very good hands and also had an absolutely amazing dental cleaning. I found my dentist ??

November 20, 2024Mirzada S.Verified patient
The dentist office was clean, the staff was very friendly, and what can I say about Dr. Lee. He was AMAZING throughout every step he explained everything that was going to be done. The office staff was also great at explaining the cost, what my insurance covers, and worked with me for payment! Could not recommend Dr. Lee and his team more.
November 12, 2024Robert H.Verified patient
Dr. Lees office was great. Very friendly welcomed. Taking x-rays wasn’t as painful as other places. Dr. Lee had great bedside manners. He introduced himself and wasn’t in a rush. He went over the X-rays explaining everything, and made sure to address all my questions. Dr. Lee did my teeth cleaning as well. He made sure it wasn’t too uncomfortable. My teeth feel brand spanking new. ??

No wait came in and got seen right away. Dr Lee did the cleaning and polishing himself. Thorough work took pics of my teeth afterwards.
More than 1 year agoRoger Q.Verified patient
Liz gave the warmest welcome when I came in and it was the best first impression I’ve ever gotten from a dentistry and I’m TERRIFIED of seeing a dentist. Jamie was a very calming presence with frequent and comforting affirmations like “are you okay?” and “almost done” throughout my x-rays and cleaning. Even though I had to reschedule for my filling, I was still taken care of and checked-in on by Dr. Lee even though he was obviously busy with all his patients but you never would know with how calm and organized he was; as a former salesperson, you can tell he was collected under pressure with multiple clients. Great experience overall and that’s saying a lot coming from sending that dreads going to the dentist. Amazing staff.
August 3, 2024Jonas L.Verified patient
Great Dr and was very surprised at how nice and easy it all was! Dr Lee and his staff are amazing at making you feel comfortable and explaining everything it was an extremely easy and comfortable experience.

It had been a while since I had visited a dentist. I am usually pretty nervous about dental work not the case here. Wonderful customer service and bedside manners. Highly recommend.
April 29, 2024Christina S.Verified patient
I was in search for a good dentist since it was a while since I have gone to get any work done. Luckily I found Dr. Lee on Zocdoc and am super happy I did. Dr. Lee suggested I get a deep cleaning which I went with and was able to knock out the whole cleaning super quick but with care. He will now be my new regular dentist for all my work moving forward.
April 10, 2024Dimitri B.Verified patient
It's my first time to see Dr Lee due to an intolerable pain in my bottom tooth. He is very detailed, professionally friendly and explained the whole root canal procedure. I was amazed how knowledgeable he is in his practice of dentistry. He did the procedure so gently and I was very comfortable with the whole process. I highly recommend Dr Lee to all patients who are nervous to see a dentist. Believe me...he will make you very comfortable!
April 3, 2024Josie B.Verified patient
Finally a good dental office and staff I felt comfortable and safe with! Everyone was very kind, sincere, and friendly. The office is very clean and doesn’t have your typical “dental” office smell. I wish I would’ve found this dental office sooner!
