Affordable Dental Care in Monterey Park, CA
This page lists 2 reviewed dental clinics in Monterey Park, CA. They are run by 2 separate health center organizations — Chinatown Service Center and Garfield Health Center. Each sets its own income bands and keeps its own books, so prices and waits differ between them even in the same town.
Both clinics fall within a single Monterey Park ZIP code, so they are close together. If neither can see you, the nearby cities below are the next place to look rather than another part of town.
The nearest other California cities with listings are Alhambra at about 2 miles (2 clinics), Los Angeles at about 3 miles (59 clinics), San Gabriel at about 4 miles (2 clinics), Commerce at about 4 miles (3 clinics) and Pico Rivera at about 5 miles (1 clinic). Measured straight-line rather than by road. Clinics do not follow city boundaries and neither do waiting lists, so the town next door is often the faster appointment.
1 of the 2 Monterey Park locations has no website, so calling is the only way to find out what it offers. The other one carries a link on the listing, though an organization-wide website often will not say which of its sites runs a dental clinic.
Who runs the dental clinics in Monterey Park
Each of these is a separate organization with its own sliding fee schedule, its own waiting list and its own insurance contracts. Call them as separate options, not as one.
- Chinatown Service Center — 1 site in Monterey Park
- Garfield Health Center — 1 site in Monterey Park
Before you travel across Monterey Park, settle the things these listings cannot: what to ask on the phone, how the sliding fee discount is applied for, and which door to use when it is urgent and money is short. If you think what you have might be an emergency, go to an emergency room rather than onto a dental waiting list; the price of that visit is not the thing to weigh in that moment.
