    A very, very friendly staff- they know what they are doing and they bring a warm environment for such a scary situation.

    Chen and his staff gave me very detailed explanations before each surgery so I would know exactly what to expect.

    I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Low. He made me feel at ease from the first visit. Dr. Low…read moreis not only professional, but also caring. I was pleasantly surprised to receive phone calls from him the day after my tooth extraction and the completion of the Implant. He called to ensure everything was going well. His assistants are equally professional. Every step of the treatment was clearly explained. The front desk staff was kind and welcoming. Appointments were on time. To sum up, I am grateful for the excellent care and would highly recommend his practice.

    I generally avoid leaving negative reviews for local businesses, but I felt a responsibility to…read moreshare my experience so others can make informed decisions. While Dr. Low may be a skilled periodontist, I will not be returning to this practice for several reasons. First, the billing department's timing cost me financially. I had an expensive deep cleaning done at the end of the year and repeatedly asked to pay before December 31st so I could utilize my remaining FSA funds. They insisted they would mail the bill, but didn't send it until the following year. Because of this delay, I lost my previous year's FSA funds and was forced to pay out-of-pocket the next year when my new FSA cap was exceeded. Second, this is minor, and kinda funny. The front desk vibe is a bit much. The young staff wears heavy makeup and super thick, caterpillar-like fake eyelashes, and they match that dolled up look with a snob attitude. They talk down to you, lack basic conversation skills, and just mindlessly repeat "no worries" to almost anything you say. The main reason I am not returning, however, is a complete loss of TRUST. I spent $500+ for consult and xrays at this office just so Dr. E. Low (younger guy) can tell me that I need a highly invasive, expensive oral surgery. Then, I was immediately ushered to a finance coordinator to sign consent and put money down. It felt excessive (GREED) and extreme, I sought a second and third opinion, both of which confirmed that a far less invasive, or even over-the-counter, treatment should be tried first. By the way, 1.5 years later, my gum situation have improved with the less invasive and over-the-counter solutions recommended.

    Dr. Kao came as a recommendation to complete some work after my periodontist fell ill and was…read moreunable to continue practicing. I had an implant done, and he added additional bone grafting and gum work in the time slot that he had for me at no additional cost to help make the area look great. After 2 other bone grafts leading up to this one I was expecting to have some discomfort and discoloration of my gums. Surprisingly, I barely even noticed I'd just had a titanium rod shoved into my jaw and was eating normally shortly after the surgery. It took some serious mirror usage to discover that any surgery had been done. As the other reviewer noted, he's not comforting. I wasn't interested in comfort, I was interested in high-quality professional work, and Dr. Kao is the best I have been to.

    I had excellent results (note I've since left Silicon Valley)…read more First, he is a specialist, very experienced, so don't expect his demeanor to be very comforting. Like many Asian professionals, he is very clinical and doesn't go out of his way to soften your fears. Came to him as a referral for bleeding gums, and later on, for a molar implant after the root canal had failed. For the bleeding gums, he got me on a routine to use the inter-teeth brush pick.. It made the difference so my gums are restored enough that surgery wasn't required. My implant was very positive. My molar was close to a jaw nerve, and my general dentist was concerned about it. Dr. Kao didn't flinch and just did the extraction (2 minutes for 2 teeth), and after healing and he did the molar implant, and transferred the specs to my general dentist who did the crown. The implant (in 2005) was $2,000. As I said, his demeanor is straight forward and he's not very chatty. I needed results and he delivered.

    was a patient with Dr. Daniel Nelson about 10 years ago. He did 4 implants for me. 2 years ago my…read moreimplant #14 had fallen out. As a result Dr.Nelson voluntarily gave me $1950 as compensation. This year my #3 implant has also fallen out. Having 2 implants fall out is very RARE according to the other dentists that I spoke with. He did poor work. So please be careful when you decide to choose Dr.Nelson. In the meantime I will be reporting to California dental board and BBB.

    Dr. Nelson does a great job of explaining each procedure that can be taken and what he recommends…read more He is very thorough in collecting information about you before coming up with all available alternatives for treatment (and also communicating if you need treatment at all). I also appreciate how transparent he is on estimated costs before doing any treatment. I additionally appreciate that he does a zoom appointment before meeting in person to make things more efficient and does the zoom appointment at no charge. For the gum graft itself, Dr. Nelson did a terrific job of working with my pain tolerance on taking local anesthesia such as deep breaths beforehand, explaining exactly what he will do, and placing it in a speed that matches my comfort. The procedure itself was complete smooth sailing from there, he provides detailed post op instructions and contact information for assistance between the surgery and follow up.
