I have been going here for years and things were fine for a while and staff was always very kind, nice and respectful and the staff cleaned my teeth really well but my main gripe comes from Benjamin Chew. Over the years he became less welcoming almost robotic. He was even discourteous to my wife and if you're rude to my wife you're rude to me. Also the last time I had an appointment he wasn't even there to check my teeth, but most of all he is Mr Krabs but as a dentist. I hope the staff there unionize because they give great quality work and friendly, they deserve a union there. read more

I was going here for a long time and the staff has always been kind but I noticed the past couple years Benjamin Chew has gotten rude. He wouldn't even say hello and would check my teeth then just walk away with no comment. He recommended a fitted night guard in place of my retainer and told me the gap I used to have would not open. Eventually the gap did open. After telling him this, he tried tricking me trying to prove there was always a gap there and ignored how I can tell it's bigger, my orthodontist reassured me that it's true my gap did get bigger and a night guard should not replace a retainer as it protects your teeth, not retain them. Benjamin Chew said there's nothing he can do but he can talk to me more about it and there would be a charge. He doesn't care to help, he just wants money. I'll miss the staff. You guys should unionize. read more

I have been familiar with the Chew family dentists since the early '90s!!! I was originally a patient of the patriarch of the family, Dr. Harold Chew. After he retired I visited he sons, Dr. Rodney and Dr. Roland. When I retired and no longer had dental insurance, I had ignored and/or put off seeing the dentist for several years. I knew too much time had past and I had to go back. I went to Dr. Benjamin Chew on recommendation of my next door neighbor. I found the visit very comfortable and welcoming. The office manager was warm and friendly, the hygienist was thorough and as painless as she could be. Dr. Benjamin was very professional and (as another reviewer pointed out) very non-judgemental at my obvious avoiding and ignoring regular dentist visits and proper dental hygiene (c'mon, does anybody really floss EVERYDAY?!). A simple plan was developed to get my teeth back up to speed over the course of a year. For the past two years we have maintained regular visits and maintenance and have since been problem-free. read more

Benjamin J. Chew, DDS - Dr. Chew is not a dog dentist. - General Dentistry Near Me - Fremont, California

See all

Came here on a recommendation. Dr. Chew and his assistants are really nice. They are also conservative which I liked no pressure on how quick I need to fix the damage. I know I need a lot of work done and Dr.Chew is willing to be patient with me read more

I came into Dr. Chew's office on a recommendation. It had been some time since I last saw a dentist and I was afraid of what "damage" I had done to my teeth by not coming in. Dr. Chew was very professional in his assessment of my dental health and laid out his recommendation for treatment in a very non-judgemental manner which made me feel better. I also didn't feel like he was pressuring me into any sort of treatment. The rest of the staff is very friendly and personable, it seems like everyone enjoys working there and interacting with patients. I know visiting the dentist is not exactly a relaxing experience for most people but all things considered I feel at ease coming into this office and recommend Dr. Chew to anyone that is nervous about visiting the dentist. read more

Another 1-800-DENTIST success story. The location is very convenient for me and in general it has been easy for me to make appointments on short notice. Last year I needed three fillings and was able to come in the same day I called, but last month I needed to reschedule a cleaning and my appointment is still a couple weeks away. Then again, I had to work around my work schedule so that was the main problem and the receptionist was very helpful. Dr. Chew and the dental hygienists do a good job with the exams and cleaning, and even cleaned up some mess left by my orthodontist (I haven't had braces in 6 years) free of charge. The fillings were tooth-colored and it's nice not to have metal spots on my teeth. I haven't needed any real cosmetic work done but judging by the tons of brochures in the waiting and exam rooms those services are available as well. I lost dental coverage through my employer and have been paying out of pocket lately and together we've made payment arrangements that have worked out. I'm looking into private insurance before I need my wisdom teeth out (yeah, they're late bloomers) and one big thing I'm going for now is I want to be covered by Dr. Chew so I don't have to change dentists again. read more

All the staff are very nice and friendly. My teeth always feel clean and healthier after every appointment. 10/10 recommend!

Beware: they may bill you more than what you agreed upon on your visit. Their service, I guess is ok, just "ok". But I don't want to worry about being charged with a $200 bill after the fact. read more

My family and I have been patients of Dr Benjamin Chew for several years now and I highly recommend him to anyone. He is above all a very proficient dentist and very kind and patient with everyone including his staff which is also important to me. It also shows in the way his staff is likewise very warm and caring to me whenever I visit. He is great with children as well as adults in my experience. I'm very grateful to Dr Chew as my teeth needed a lot of work when I first visited him and my teeth have never felt better since. Lastly he also stays current with all the latest dental tech which I appreciate. I can't recommend (or thank) Dr Benjamin Chew enough! read more

Quick work on my broken tooth. X-ray, exam, recommendations, procedure, done. I recommend Dr. Chew.

The office is closed so much it's difficult to get an appointment there. They're closed minimum one day every week and that makes one wonder if they're really serious about business. They're either closed Monday one week or Friday next week. The other thing is the Dentist's helpers (the ones who do the minor work) always call you to change your appointment or so that they can cut out early. Hey if I'm the customer, can't I come in when it's convenient for me? Why must I inconvenience myself just so they can enjoy free time? Hey if you share these sentiments, maybe this is not the place for you. The Dentist is a nice guy though when you get to know him, you can't help but like the guy. Just the elves who're pulling down the wagon. He does do quality work and that's what matters. read more

I usually dreaded going tot he dentist. It was always bad news and a painful experience top get my teeth cleaned. However, since I've been going to Dr. Chew's office for the past year and a half, my outlook on going to the dentist has changed dramatically. The receptionist is very friendly and always confirms/reminds me of my appointments. The hygienist I see is very friendly and very gentle. I'm pretty sensitive to being poked with dental instruments, but I don't feel any discomfort when she cleans me teeth. Dr. Chew is also very friendly and gentle. In the past I had rude dentists and hygienists who were very rough and caused me a lot of pain during my cleanings. I'm very glad to have found Dr. Chew's office, as it is a major upgrade from where I went before. I highly recommend Dr. Chew and his team. read more

Dr Ben Chew is an excellent dentist and his staff are friendly and efficient. The hygienists are knowledgable and I always have a pleasant experience visiting my dentist. read more

Yikes!! Ya, they give professional dental service. They're suppose to. I've been there several times. But, they are also one of the most expensive. They charge you nearly six times what other dentist charge. Why should you pay more? You can get the same service anywhere for less. read more

I have always feared going to the dentist....I recently had a tooth crack on me and a co-worker referred me to Dr. Chew. I called His offices and they immediately had me go in. Dr. Chew could not save the tooth and referred me to an oral surgeon. By 4 pm I was on my way home 1 tooth shy of a full grill! However, I went back the following day to Dr. Chew for a full exam and cleaning. I went back today to get some fillings done @ 4 p.m. It's now 4 hours since I left hi office and I don't feel a thing or even felt like I was @ a dentist today. I did not feel the shots he gave me or did I feel him working on me. He is very gentle and thorough and his staff is very professional and personable. If you are like me and fear and dread going to the dentist I highly recommend you go see Dr. Chew and his staff! I will not go to another dentist after I have been treated by him. He has been the best dentist I have ever been to. Thank you Dr. Chew and your wonderful staff! read more
