So thankful I made the switch to Blue Turtle Dental almost 2 years ago! Friendly staff, clean office, organized scheduling, and trusted professionals! My dental health has improved after some inconsistent years of care at my previous dentist, but now I look forward to my bi-annual cleanings Also, coming from SF it's worth the drive + great that there's plenty of parking and food spots around the office read more

The entire visit was easy and well-organized, and I really appreciated how attentive the staff were throughout the whole process. It's clear that they genuinely care about their patients and take pride in providing good service. I left feeling comfortable and confident with my treatment, which isn't something I've experienced at every dental office. read more

Great experience overall! The staff was friendly and professional, and my cleaning and checkup went smoothly. I appreciated how welcoming everyone was and how easy they made the visit. read more

First-rate service all around. Lauren, the receptionist is great at scheduling. The hygienists, especially Kim, are total pros and very thorough and knowledgeable. And Dr. Chao is easily the best dentist I've ever had - very capable and willing to explain things and offer useful pointers. You'll be in great hands. read more

Thank you Blue turtle dental for taking care of my root canal. It was nearly painless! Dr Nguyen was so gentle that i fell asleep during the procedure. Thank you for making something scary so easy! read more

After switching dentists to find one closer to home, I was a bit nervous, but am so glad I was recommended to Blue Turtle Dental. My first consultation with Dr. Chao was incredibly thorough and informative--he explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and gave me honest recs for future dental treatments. I especially appreciate his approach to conservative treatment to help preserve my teeth whenever possible. I also appreciate their focus on prevention. Dr. Chao caught an early cavity caused by my wisdom tooth extraction years ago and took care of it effortlessly. Kim, the hygienist, has truly won me over. I've had two deep cleanings/scaling treatments with her, and she's won me over. I appreciate how she doesn't rush through the cleanings and always checks in to make sure I'm comfortable and not in too much pain. Super detail-oriented and friendly-- everything you'd want in a dental team. Highly recommend! read more

When I came here for my root canal, I was surprised that the doctors could speak both mandarin and Spanish. The clinic was very spacious and felt like a home. Lauren was so welcoming and friendly. read more

Best dentist on the west! If you care about quality care with a smile, Blue Turtle Dentals your place. Dr Yu and Dr Chao are very knowledgeable read more

Started coming here last year. Dr. Chao and his team are extremely friendly and caring. After my last check up I had ALOT of work that needed to be done. I decided to bite the bullet and just get everything done now. I swear I must have been here 10 times all of 2024. Each visit I left with healthier teeth and couldn't be more happier with my choice in dentist. This office is definitely family friendly they even have little ducks in one of the operating rooms! Hopefully I don't have to come back as many time this year (2025). read more

As someone with a lot dental anxiety around some work I needed done, I really appreciated the incredible service and kindness from the whole team at Blue Turtle. From the moment I stepped in I felt welcome and at ease, the procedures were very quick and professional, and Dr.Yen and Dr.Chao create an environment where I look forward to an appointment instead of being apprehensive. Thank you again for the great service and excellent experience. read more

Excellent dentist in the South Bay. A lot of my family comes here and they always have a good experience. The office is very clean and the doctor is very knowledgeable read more

Quality care! Great Doctors, great hygienist and great staff! Staff is quick with getting insurance information updated. Reminder text and courtesy calls to remind me of my appointments. The hygienist take their time to make sure your teeth are thoroughly cleaned. X-ray machines are up to date so it's a one stop shop for a pano, CT scan or digital X-Ray's. They also offer Invisalign treatment, have a oral surgeon specialist that dedicates to patients in the office once a month . This office offers teeth bleaching too! If you can't catch an appointment at the Santa Clara location they have two other locations in Palo Alto and Redwood City. read more

Started my Invisalign here and am very happy with the results. We finished my treatment under a year! Strongly recommend to anyone

Very cool office with the newest technology. Dr Chao and the team took good care of me

After several years of providing me with excellent dental care, Dr. Tom Jew is retiring. Blue Turtle Dental has stepped in to provide superb dental care to Dr. Jew's former patients and new patients as well. Dr. Chao of Blue Turtle recently extracted two molars for me, and the procedure was both fast and painless. I was frankly amazed! In addition to being highly skillful, Dr. Chao is very personable. I feel completely confident in his ability to handle my dental needs going forward. So I wish a happy retirement to Dr. Tom Jew, and a hearty welcome to Dr. Chao and Blue Turtle Dental! read more

I've met with hygienist Kim for the past year and have had a phenomenal experience. My teeth are sensitive and I used to hate going to the dentist, but she does a thorough job cleaning my teeth while avoiding causing any pain. I can now relax during my appointments and no longer fear going to the dentist at all! Highly recommend read more

Highly recommend Dr. Jew's dental services! I came here after a bad experience at another dental office I won't name. They told me I needed 6 fillings and possibly a root canal. I was feeling no pain and questioned this decision. I went to Dr. Jew for a second opinion and that number went down to ONE filing needed. Shows he has integrity for not charging me for extra work, even when I showed him the treatment plan the other dentist was planning to charge me for. The filling procedure went very smoothly. Dr. Jew informed me of my options so that I felt I was making an informed decision. He was very communicative about what he was doing, what I would experience, and even how to request a break. The procedure was executed flawlessly. The hygienists were good enough and kind. I will likely be back. read more

Awesome practice. Dr Chao and Dr jew both seemed very understanding of my concerns. Love the family environment of the practice and the great samples read more

Dr chao and his team are very professional. My family comes to this office and my parents are both estatic. The team was able to explain things in mandarin very well, would recommend read more

Great office! Came here for a cleaning and learned about proper hygiene. Appreciated how the team focused on teaching me rather than pushing treatment. Would recommend to anyone, especially young families read more

Blue turtle seems to offer everything, from Invisalign to wisdom teeth extractions. They were very knowledgeable and I left with a very good understanding of each process. If you are detail oriented, would definitely recommend giving the office a call. read more

Great office, Dr chao did a couple fillings and it was quick and painless! The office was also very responsive

Started my Invisalign here! Dr Chao and his team were very kind, I can already see the results!

Been to all of the blue turtle practices over the years but never wrote about it. Finally came to the Santa Clara one and the experience was as smooth as the other ones. Would recommend to anyone read more

i had a great experience at blue turtle. my wisdom tooth was bothering me and the office brought me in the next day. very grateful for the good service! read more

The long and WELL-established dental practice of Tom C. Jew, DDS, is THE one you should take yourself and family to without hesitation. After seeing and passing his office countless times over the years, I'm KICKING myself for not having contacted his office until a lesser-patient/person-focused dentist forced me to make a change in 2017. If you ever feel you or your loved ones aren't in the right professional -- and personable -- hands that you would prefer, do NOT wait to contact the dental practice of Tom C. Jew, DDS, where you will feel right at home. read more

I don't dare admit how many decades I've been coming to see Dr Jew. He is the kindest dentist. His staff are amazing. Cheryl and Adriane have been the best hygienist over the years. Karen has the fun job of scheduling me in with my crazy work schedule and though I'm sure it's challenging and by no means I'm the only one who wants the times that I need, she always makes me feel like she has my best interest at heart. Karen also has to tackle the job of billing and collecting. Who likes that? Again she knows my pay scale. She works with me and keeps my account manageable. I wouldn't feel comfortable going to another crew! I even avoided wisdom teeth extractions but Dr Jew was able to handle the job and I didn't have to go "under" and we did It!! I'm a firm believer in long term business relationships and my work insurance has enabled this. Even better that it is within walking distance when I'm feeling really motivated. read more

While I have inherited some positive physical characteristics from each of my parents (height and a nose with a bridge from dad, decent complexion and juiciness from mom), I have also inherited some bad (poor vision from dad, crooked teeth from mom). The poor vision will one day be corrected by my sister, Dr. P., after she has performed at least 1,000 Lasik procedures but my teeth have been a work in progress for a while. The sounds of any dental equipment, whirring, grinding, screechy noises and that distinctive smell dentist offices have, give me nightmares to this day. My mom was not going to let me end up with her messed up grill (thanks, mom!) so every time I went to the dentist, and I went a lot, my mouth was numbed by painful shots and I lost one, two or three teeth. My propensity for indulging in sweets (from dad) combined with my baby teeth not coming out quick enough and my small mouth (I don't know where this came from) made every visit the stuff nightmares are made of. On top of the painful dental procedures which I had done in K-town in LA, we always went for Korean barbecue after. Because I had holes in my mouth, on top of the fact that I inevitably bit my tongue because it was still numb, I was thoroughly disgusted each time. Maybe this is why I don't miss LA much. My trauma ended around the 7th or 8th grade when I finally didn't need my retainer anymore and my visits to the dentist have been spotty at best ever since. I knew it was time to make an appointment because it had been 2 years and I guess I chomp my teeth in my sleep so I wanted to make sure I wasn't causing any damage. Based on a recommendation, I went to Dr. Jew. He was informative as he examined me, as well as when he had to fix a filling, and his staff were all great. I ended up needing deep cleaning which required shots so they could dig around my gums. Gross, I know. The sounds and the shots brought back all the memories I had suppressed but he and the hygienist who worked on me, Cheryl(sp?), were surprisingly soothing. It was as good as a dental experience could be. Now my chompers and gums are super clean. Yay. read more

Awesome dentist!! Really, the best dentist I have ever dealt with. Highly recommended.

Dr. Jew and his staff are great! I have been going to Dr. Jew for over 13 years now and I have nothing negative to say about my experience. He is a good dentist and only does what is necessary and does not try to get you to do things so he can make money off of you. I would definitely recommend him to friends and family!! read more

I've been going to Dr Jew for quite a few years as he was recommended to us when my daughter had braces. We were new to this area. I've had every dental problem there is and Dr Jew was on it. Does what he needs to do and does it well. He lets you know whats going on and his staff is also on the ball. So if you need a very good dentist, this is your guy. read more

I've been going to Dr. Jew for 25 years (since I moved here). Any one that I know who has been looking for a dentist I have referred here. My wife and now my daughter also go (my daughter loves going - which says a lot). read more

By referral from a friend, I found myself at Thomas C Jew DDS for a host of problems stemming from bad childhood habits combined with old world thinking from immigrant parents. While I would not wish a dentist appointment on anyone, if you find yourself with the misfortune of needing work done, I would wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Jew and his staff. My initial examination and quick education from Dr. Kang (the hygienist) and Dr. Jew gave me more information than years of visits to a different dentist. Dr. Jew clearly and patiently explained to me what needed to be done along with why, and found time to squeeze me into his busy schedule. I was given options where possible and Dr. Jew kept me thoroughly updated throughout the process of what he was doing and what to expect. While they couldn't make the actual experience of a dentist visit more pleasant (through no fault of their own), Dr. Jew and his staff definitely achieve high marks in everything else. read more
