The ladies in Dr. Mayers office are the best. They will do anything to help you out and they are kind as well. I would have liked a little more interaction with Dr. Mayer, for example, I would have liked more updates on my son's tooth status, but otherwise, he was efficient and pleasant as well. My son never had a problem there and it appeared that most of Whittier area brought there kids there. The atmosphere is pleasant and the office staff are very kind. As for cost, I am uncertain, my ex-husbands and I both had insurance that paid for it all (one child).
