Staff 5.0

Friendly, service centric office. Dr. Chan has a great chair side manner. Explained treatment necessary and was very gentle. Staff is very courteous.

Very friendly and accommodating.

Didn't see him on my visit.

Staff made me feel at ease and I wasn’t nervous as I usually am when I go to the dentist.

Very friendly staff. Treatment plan isn’t expensive at all. Extraction just for 153

Dr. Chan was very welcoming! I look forward to seeing him again in the future.

Dr. Chan has been our family dentist for over 35 yrs. With his retirement in the future, I has to find another dentist. The dental office I was referred to by my dental insurance was awful. I spent over $1800 for a toothache & teeth cleaning with a recommendation to schedule extraction of my molar with their Oral Surgeon for another $900. I asked for a second opinion from Dr. Chan of Smilehaven in La Mesa. Dr. Chan was able to fit me with a crown so my molar did not need to be extracted. Excellent dental service.

Great first experience, friendly staff & clean office. Dentist cares, provide great information for teeth & wellness.

Loved it! Atmosphere was quiet, everyone was nice, office was clean and my visit was super fast!

This was the best dentist experience I've ever had. They really cared about helping making it more comfortable and Dr Chan cares about your whole well being. They also did a good job of communicating and getting me in and out.

The office was very clean, the staff was very very polite as well as Dr. Chan. It was a great experience.

The staff was very nice and so was the Dentist. They did switch appts around to schedule so that was a plus.

Very informative on holistic care of the mouth. I haven't had a cleaning done in a long time. So it was a very thorough cleaning and I feel great.

Dr. Chan is extremely knowledgeable in his area. Great service, just booked my next appointment.

Great people and overall I'm very happy

They were very nice and quick and efficient. I walk into a very happy cheerful office. Overall a great experience.

Very helpful - enjoyed going in. Seems like they put patients first

I don’t going to the dentist for a few reasons. The main one being individuals with heavy hands. The drs touch was gentle and light. He was also very communicative on getting involved with my insurance to help cover a costly procedure. 5 stars from me!

Very knowledgeable doctor and the staff are great. First, they don't pressure you to buy other services, I got a couple recommendations and was asked if I wish to make an appointment or buy the recommended teeth care but no pressure. My teeth needed lots of help and he did a great job.

Very professional and FAST taking care of patients, wait time was the best from my past experience. I will be back every 6 months for cleaning for sure

Great practice. Totally recommend!
