Everyone is afraid of the dentist right? It's never a good thing when you have to go. I have been…read moreto my share of dentists, in search of one that fits my standards. I was referred to Shirley Chao by a friend of mine. Boy oh boy, I will be forever grateful! Their nurses are the cutest Chinese ladies around. They're so gentle, they always ask you if it hurts whenever they're doing something inside your mouth. How thoughtful! Shirley has to be the most awesome dentist around. She's super professional and way friendly at the same time. She makes you feel at ease before she starts on you, which is definitely calming. Once she starts, it's game on! She has this serious face like most other dentists have, but she's completely gentle. When she shot me up to numb my gums, all I felt was a slight pinch. Although she gets very busy with patients, she takes her time with you to make sure the job is done perfectly. Want to get your teeth whitened? She charges about $500! She suggested using "Crest Whitening Strips." They work just as well. It's so easy for me to go to the dentist now. I don't get knots in my stomach or sweaty palms in fear of all the pain I may face. FYI -- She ONLY accepts PPO insurance. Also, she's really popular. If you don't have a flexible schedule, expect an appointment at least two months out! Her popularity should say something about her skills.

So I waited 3 days before telling my BF that my tooth was hurting. When one does not have…read moreinsurance, one hopes that the pain goes away on its own. He is immediately concerned, and I find myself Yelping for a dentist. It says by appointment only, but I definitely think I could've walked in and they would still have seen me. I called and whomever answered was very friendly and said to just show up. Easy process, and uh, I can't remember who did my initial consultation, but after taking a look she said "Ooh your gums do look a little angry," and I was sold. Quick X-ray confirmed I had an infected tooth, she prescribed antibiotics, sent me on my way to return in a few weeks for extraction since it was a wisdom tooth. Consultation? only $30 since I was doing a follow-up procedure. On-site pharmacy was great. Booked a Saturday appointment with Dr. Henry Lee, showed up at 11am, was done by 11:40am after a quick and painless extraction. Granted, I only had one tooth taken out, but he was efficient, professional, and for anyone who cares... they are a predominantly Chinese clinic, but he and the other dentist as well as assistants all spoke perfect English (We talked about grad schools and the benefits of quinoa while I was getting numbed up.) The extraction cost only $150 for one tooth with local anesthesia... small price to pay for not having insurance!

Dr. Pash and her team are professional, efficient, and incredibly kind. My partner had all four of…read morehis wisdom teeth removed here and the entire experience was smooth from start to finish. Scheduling was easy, the insurance and payment process were straightforward, and the procedure started right on time. Dr. Pash explained the procedure beforehand and took the time to answer all of our questions before and after surgery. The waiting area was comfortable, well air-conditioned, and stocked with complimentary beverages. The procedure itself was surprisingly quick, it took about an hour to remove all four wisdom teeth. We also received thorough printed post-op instructions that will make recovery easy to navigate. A special thank you to the staff for going above and beyond by wheeling my partner all the way to our destination. They really made an effort to make this experience as hassle-free and easy as possible for the recipient and driver. I highly recommend Dr. Pash and her team to anyone looking for a skilled, compassionate, and efficient oral surgeon.

I had been putting off getting my wisdom teeth removed for about 7 years. Anxiety and my…read moreoverthinking self would always get the best of me but my wisdom teeth decided otherwise. I had gone in for an emergency appointment, I told the doctor/nurses how I was feeling about it everything and they were all very accommodating and compassionate. Once I got in the room, everything went so fast, they definitely didn't give me a chance to think about what was going to be happening and before I knew it I was fast asleep. The procedure went by so quick! I did feel a little out of it after but there was absolutely no pain or discomfort. I will be doing a follow up in 2 weeks to ensure my recovery is going well and the wounds are healing properly. I definitely will be going back here to look into getting braces since the wisdom teeth ended up causing a lot of overcrowding in mine. Thank you to Dr. Choyee and everyone here!

Highly recommend Dr. Choyee for your oral surgery needs!…read more My wisdom teeth had been causing pain for a few weeks, so I was looking to get them extracted as soon as possible. I had a consultation with a different dentist, but I felt a a bit uneasy about the treatment plan they suggested, so I wanted to get a second opinion from an oral surgeon. I came across Dr. Choyee's practice while searching for oral surgeons that accepted Delta Dental PPO and found positive reviews. Upon calling his office, I was grateful that they had availability later that week for a consultation & same day extraction. Even starting from the phone call, I already felt more at ease. The receptionists were all very knowledgeable and helped explain how my insurance would be applied and other things to expect. The day of the extraction, I was at the office for an hour in total (consultation + extraction). After taking a quick panoramic x-ray, I decided to go with local anesthesia and only felt mild pressure during the procedure. No stitches were needed and I was sent home with gauze & instructions to pickup a mouthwash from my local pharmacy. Overall, Dr. Choyee and his staff were kind, thorough, and made the process a lot less painless than anticipated.

At my previous dental office, I never had to pay anything out of pocket for a routine cleaning. However, the dentist here claimed I have gum inflammation and said I needed a deep cleaning that would cost $600, plus a filling for another $600. The staff also offered to check something (I can't remember what it was) and said it was free, but afterward, someone else came in and tried to charge me $25 for it. When I told her I had been told it was free, she said it would be waived. I just wanted a regular cleaning that would be fully covered by my insurance, but they tried to charge me over $1,000 for additional procedures. I was here for 1.5 hours and didn't even get my teeth cleaned. They just kept examining me and trying to sell me treatments I don't need. It's a waste of time. Stay away from this place. I would not recommend it to anyone.
