    I had the best experience getting my teeth cleaned at Dr. Ko’s office. My teeth have never felt so clean! I really enjoyed the welcoming atmosphere and that they used latest methods in cleaning, which other places don’t use!

    The staff were extremely welcoming. Before we got into the procedure that I came in for, they gave me a tour of the facility. They also sat me down in their consultation room and gave me other options of procedures that would benefit me. My fiance and I are really happy that we came here

    The team over at Mapleridge Dentistry was amazing, customer service was top notch as soon as I walked through the front doors. Never had a pleasing interaction like that in awhile at any other business/retail/healthcare. The team was very transparent, running me through all the steps and process on keeping my teeth nice and healthy. They also took the time to answer any questions or concerns and also gave lots of information. Overall, I am very pleased with my visit, I’m the type to never leave a review, but the care and treatment I got today was outstanding and deserves to be shared with anyone that’s out there that’s currently looking for a good dentist. 10/10, thank you.

    Such a beautiful facility, not once did I feel even a little uncomfortable. I felt really cared for especially because the I was given a tour of the dental office It seems like a small measure but really shows that the staff cares. I also loved that they walk you through your x-rays and pictures to help you understand. My biggest issue with going to the dentist is not that I have anxiety about the appointment but more about being judged because I didn't always get regular cleanings. Dr. Ko definitely made me feel secure and not judged at all and I honestly feel so much better about my dental care.
