Had a great experience with Dr. Yang Gao. She was kind and knowledgable and cleaned my teeth without any pain or hassle. She explained how I can do a bit better to take care of my teeth. Very helpful.

The best so far. Both my husband and myself are very very satisfied with the out come of our appointment we had on Saturday. Very friendly staff and appointment was convenient.

My experience with Dr.GAO was perfect. She was patient and explained everything very well. She took the time to properly examine my teeth and I would definitely go back

nice and helpful

Dr. Yang Gao did pretty solid examination. She walked me through the details of my teeth. We took the X-ray and the regular cleaning. I got my teeth, gums, and the overall condition of oral health checked. They also discuss any issues found during the examination and suggested treatment options. She is very professional.

Dentist very professional explaining procedure and treatment was prompt.

Dr. Gao was really nice and patient to explain, and she exhibited a gentle touch, making the entire process comfortable and pain-free. Would recommend it to my friends.

Dr. Gao was very kind while she gave me a thorough deep cleaning. It was comforting knowing that I was in her care so I felt less nervous during the treatment. I think my visit went smoothly overall and I would highly recommend her!

This place has really earned its name. It IS fun to be able to seamlessly book an appointment and not have to wait months to be seen and to not have to wait long at all in a waiting room. I had to reschedule my initial appointment and it was very easy and they were very polite about it. The entire staff here is friendly, efficient, and kind. They made sure that I was comfortable and continuously checked in to make sure I was not in pain. Everything was explained to me and I feel like I received a deeper cleaning than I have at previous dentists. The office itself is also very clean. Some dental offices will try to talk you into unnecessary procedures and this is not one of them. I could see this being a great place for kids or anyone who gets nervous about going to the dentist. Already booked my second appointment and I look forward to coming back.

Clean office and friendly staff. Dr. was good but had to do deep cleaning which is never fun. Convenient location to me.

Great skills and warm service

She is very gentle. The cleaning did not hurt at all. She also explained to me the situation of my dental health in a detailed manner and suggested next steps for me. She is also very friendly! Definitely recommend her!

Dr Gao is patient to explain all details of treatments, and care about patients. Would love to visit again.

Dr Gao is caring, nice, and patient. She provided a lot of suggestions about how to maintain dental health. 10/10.

Very good experience for my first time back to a dentist in over 10 years. She explained everything to me and it went smoothly

This is the most clean dentist place I've been so far, even the computer keyboard and mouse are covered by plastic sheet to prevent contaminant. Dr Gao is really patient and skillful. She even told me don't have to open my mouth too big during the procedure, which is a real relief for TMJ patient like me. And she doesn't push for a wisdom teeth removal, which is one of the most lucrative procedure in dentistry.

Easy to communicate

Very nice doctor
