What patients say

Vibe: professional

Practice receives predominantly positive reviews (14 five-star ratings) praising staff friendliness, select dentists (particularly Dr. Wen and Dr. Nguyen), and family/special-needs accommodation. However, four one-star reviews raise serious concerns about aggressive treatment recommendations, tooth damage from overly aggressive cleaning/drilling, unnecessary procedures, and inconsistent quality due to frequent dentist rotation. Billing transparency is praised, but patients report large out-of-pocket expenses with concerns about procedure prioritization.
