Amazing staff!!! Clean and well appointed office. They were very organized, incredibly helpful and kind! Best dentist office I have ever been to!!!

My hygienist was super friendly and made the whole experience very comfortable. I was quite anxious as I haven't been to the dentist in a few years but instead of nagging on me for the past, they were optimistic about my choice to come now and take better came of my oral health. Would recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist, especially anyone who is a bit timid.

Super professional and thorough clinic. Plus, they let me watch Netflix during my scaling, which was great.

Provided professional service and answered all my questions

Dr Yu and Ryan were very helpful.

I haven't been to the dentist in a while, and was very nervous going in to my appointment. Dr Yu was the first to come over and talk to me, and immediately made me feel calm. Cathy and Ryan were fantastic, quick, and easy to talk to. I felt so relaxed throughout my entire appointment, which is something I've never experienced at a dentist office before.

Clean, professional and friendly office. Nice touch with watching something you like on Netflix during your appointment. Almost totally distracts you from the annoying discomfort of getting your teeth cleaned.

Very friendly environment and atmosphere. Always puts patient comfort top of mind

Doctor Yu and his associates were wonderful, I was clear about my fear of the dentist due to poor past experiences and they did all they could to make me comfortable, I actually look forward to my next appointment
