What patients say

Vibe: professional

This practice receives overwhelmingly positive reviews (15 of 16 five-star ratings) with consistent praise for emergency care responsiveness, skilled and gentle dentists (particularly Dr. Shen and Dr. Uttech), and professional staff. Patients repeatedly highlight successful emergency root canal treatments with rapid pain relief and excellent bedside manner. However, one significant negative review raises concerns about unexpected billing ($300 for x-rays) and lack of transparency, which contrasts sharply with the otherwise excellent reputation.
