Dr. Lew and her team provide the best dental care we have experienced. My wife has been with her around ten years; it took me a few more years to move from my previous dentist, and I am so pleased that I did. The dental care is top notch -- great results and we always feel expertly informed. The whole office is friendly and happy . . . a skilled and nice group of professionals! Logistics are easy with scheduling, etc. Overall, I can't imagine a better experience. read more

My kids and I love Dr. Lew and her entire staff. They are caring and go above and beyond to make every patient feel comfortable and cared for. They are fun and kind. I missed them during the pandemic! Once my brother was visiting from out of town and had a cracked tooth. The office was closed, but Dr Lew offered to come in and she gave him a temporary tooth until he could get home to his regular dentist. This is just who they are. read more

My family have been going to Dr Lew for many years and have always received the best care possible. The staff are super friendly and very accommodating. Its very clear that they place a high value on customer satisfaction. We've always felt that we've received the best and most appropriate treatment. Absolutely trustworthy, dependable and reliable. We highly recommend Dr Lew and her practice. read more

I just had my and my daughter's teeth cleaned. Given the circumstances, I was a little, nervous. I felt safe and taken care of. If you have any dental needs Dr. Lew and, her team is the right and best place to go. Look no further. I highly recommend them. read more

I'm not sure what another five-star review can add here, but as another long-time patient of Dr. Lew, I want to recommend her practice to anyone looking for a quality dentist. Dr. Lew is highly proficient and her practice appears to be cutting-edge -- knowledgeable of new practices and technologies. The hygienists and assistants are highly effective and such wonderful people, and the administrative staff are quite pleasant and extremely helpful. I don't think anyone ever expects to enjoy going to the dentist, but I know that when I go, I'm going to get excellent care from some very lovely people. read more

was refered to a oral surgeon to have a root canal was quoted almost three thousand dollars, no insurance of course to pricey for me! As far as a dentist not to sure what to say!.. All staff seems to be nice any way needless to say went else where and had tooth removed and was told that being it was a tooth in the back it wasn't needed so had it pulled at the low cost of two hundred dollars by and oral surgeon big difference in price!.. and I could afford that! oh another note the oral surgeon they refered me to would not accept payments go figure gesh!!.. I have to wonder is it all about money to them? well I no it is for me! read more

Dr. Diane Lew has been my dentist for several years. She is knowledgable, thorough, patient, gentle, and calm. If I have any dental issues, she does a good job of letting me know what my options are and the consequences of each. She is non-judgemental and listens well. Dr. Lew is excellent with kids as well. 4/6/09 Update: Just wanted to add that Dr. Lew's staff does a great job as well. Candy, one of the dental hygienists, has been cleaning my teeth for several years. She is very gentle yet thorough and nice to talk to. The administrative staff is very professional and helpful. They handle my insurance claims (including non-network claims) without problems. I also appreciate the accurate estimates they provide to help me budget in necessary dental work. read more

We love these guys! See, it goes like this... I tried another dentist in the same building and they had a laundry list of things they wanted to "fix" in my mouth and it was all so very urgent... So I went to Dr. Lew (Dr. Boyden at the time) for a second opinion and they told me what really needed to be done. Basically nothin'. I've recommended Dr. Lew to people for years and each time someone takes my advice Dr. Lew's office sends me flowers! Yeah! Pretty much everyone I know and work with is now a patient here. I love getting the flowers but that's not why I recommend this practice. The reason's I love my dentist are as follows: 1. My hygenist. I'm not sure we can name names on here, but her name starts with an A and ends in a Lisha. She is wonderful and after seeing her for 10 years or so, I consider her a friend. My kids love her as well. 2. Dr. Lew. She's sassy and gorgeous, always professional and smart. Plus, she never recommends things that I don't really need. What's not to love? 3. Toys, games, free coffee, toothbrushes, and other dental swag. It's like the Hollywood of Dentistry YO. One last thing I have to mention but they probably don't want me to flaunt... If you are single and spy another hot patient at the office, they may even set you up. Or at least get you connected. They are taking a whole-patient approach and all that. That's what I call Service! read more

Feb 2009 Update: We no longer live in the area, and this office is totally out of our way. Takes a very long time to get there, but it is still the only dental office we go to! We found Dr. Lew's office when my son's preschool class came to Dr. Lew's office on a field trip. Lucky for us! Dr. Diane Lew is a wonderful dentist! My husband, our son and I are very happy with our experiences here. Dr. Lew is very knowledgeable and patient. She always answers any questions we have and explains what she is doing. She is wonderful with kids. The dental hygienists and the front office staff are also very nice people. They do their jobs better than I have seen in any other dental office. Truly professional and they always maintain a calm, caring and inviting atmosphere. You can feel it when coming into the office! My bills are never surprises. I am always well informed by the office staff about what my insurance is going to cover and how much I will be paying out of pocket. This is my favourite part because it is so hard to find a practice with competent people, when it comes to dealing with insurance coverages. read more

I saw Dr. Lew for 13 years, and recently left the area. I miss her. She is the only dentist I've had who I couldn't wait to visit. Her attention to detail is excellent. One of my six(!) crowns came back from the lab slightly off color, and she made the crown fabricator come over while I was in the chair to ensure that it was done properly. On another occasion, a slight swelling prompted her to call a nearby oral surgeon who dropped what he was doing and came over for a quick consult at no charge. It's clear that she has earned the respect of her peers. Hats off to the office staff and Alisha who is an excellent hygienist and a dog lover. :-) read more

I've been a patient of Dr. Lew's office for the last 10 years! I always tell my friends that although it's important to have a trustworthy mechanic, it's more important to have a trustworthy and ethical dentist! You can always replace a car, but not your pearly whites (without an almost prohibitive expense)! I hate needles in my mouth and the thought of dental work makes me cringe, but my experiences at Dr. Lew's office are always pleasant and pain-free. She has an angel's touch and her staff is always amazingly nice and accomodating! I recommend that you give her office a call if you've been ho-humming about seeing a dentist. With Dr. Lew, as your dental health provider, there is nothing to fear except an ugly smile you will have as a result of procrastinating. read more

Dr. Lew is a great dentist. She is very compassionate and has a great 'bed-side' manner, regularly checking in with me during a procedure etc and she is very patient. She is conservative when suggesting procedures, in that she presents what needs to be done and in the most cost effective manner. Dr. Lew is also very accommodating when it comes to scheduling and customer services, and I have posed some significant challenges which she always graciously addressed. I moved up to San Francisco 5 years ago and I still go to her office for care. The staff at the office is very friendly, knowledgeable and fun to be around. I highly recommend getting care there. read more

Dr Lew has treated my girls for fifteen years. She and the hygienists are great with the kids: a gentle style but always keeping it real. I give Dr Lew much of the credit for their oral health. I switched to Dr Lew about six years ago and deeply regret not making the switch sooner. Good equipment, great skills, and a meticulous attention to detail and the health and beauty of their patients. read more

I have been a patient of doctor Lew for over 18 years. She is the only dentist that I have ever looked forward to visit every 6 months. She and her staff are very friendly as well as being professional. She recently did a cron job for me that I am extremely happy about. I get a lot of compliments on her work. She and her staff are very organized. She has always been there for me whenever I needed help. I have recommended several of my friends in the last few years to her. They are also very happy with her work. I can't think of ever switching to another dentist. - Zane Shadzi read more

Came in on my lunch hour for my 6 month cleaning. Was seen on time, cleaning was quick and painless. In and out within 45 minutes. The staff are great, always friendly and helpful. It's hard to find a trustworthy dentist, but Dr. Lew and her team are excellent! I've always had anxiety going to other dentists, but I feel comfortable here. Would definitely recommend! read more

My husband and I have been the patients with Dr. Lew for more than 20 years. Dr. Lew and her office are one of my favorite doctors' destinations-it is hard to believe my happy feelings about the dentist's office, but it is true. Dr. Lew is an impeccable professional of high integrity and character. I never second guess Dr. Lew and her medical recommendations. Earlier today, Dr. Lew was working on my crown- it was a comfortable and pain free experience. The office and the staff do go out of their way to accommodate to your schedule and make you feel at ease and very welcomed. read more

My family and I have been going to Dr Lew (and Boyden) since I was a kid (20+ years), and she and her staff have always been great. I'm like most people and can't stand going to the dentist, but Dr. Lew and her staff make it easy and bearable. There's never a shortage of small-talk or wondering "I hope she's working on the right tooth", as she takes the time to explain what she is doing before she does it. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a dentist. read more

First off, not sure what the woman that gave 1 star was expecting...song and dance? "Thank you for letting me me work on your decaying mouth?" Now to my review: I have been a patient of Dr Lew for just over two years and am fortunate to only have needed cleanings. Had to have a crown replaced and Dr Lew is awesome,does great work, is friendly and has a great sense of humor. They removed my old one and gave me the temp yesterday and it painless and she and her assistant were efficient and funny. She was very thorough in removing my old crown and redid my temp because she noticed a minor flaw. As much as I don't like dental work done, I am looking forward to my next visit. read more

Dr. Lew has been my dentist for 9 or 10 years. She is very gentle when working on a filling or crown, explains the needed procedures well, and is overall very caring, which is an added bonus! She may be a bit more proactive than other dentists, as she's recommended to do fillings when my childhood dentist (whom I see when on holidays) did not think I needed them. I've moved farther away from her office and she's not in my insurance network... I may still stay with her though... a good dentist is a rare find! BTW, her staff also earns high marks. Alicia has provided very thorough and gentle cleanings for years. read more

After 10+ years with Dr. Lew, I can only say that the best keeps getting better! She and her staff provide that rare combination of excellent professional skill and dedicated, caring service. My appointments always start promptly and I've never felt rushed during my time "in the chair". There's always time for friendly conversation, although I still haven't figured out how to talk without moving my mouth. :) I would highly recommend Dr. Lew and her staff for the best in dental care. read more

My spouse had a dentist appointment today, 3rd for the year. Dr Lew's office did not take the time to check to see if this was covered. Did not let us know. The appointment was not covered by insurance and now I'm suck with the bill. This is yet another instance of Dr Lew's office incompetence. read more

My daughter, son, and myself have been going to Dr Lew for 10 years. She and her staff is wonderful. They are always professional and do a great job. My kids really like her. Recently I had a chipped tooth in the front. It looks really ugly, and I was about to go on a long trip and really wanted it fixed. I called and Dr Lew squeezed me the same day so I can have the tooth repaired and look my best on the trip. It was done beautifully and quickly. I was out of there in 40 minutes. read more

Katie S isn't the only one to have experienced attitude over issues that were not the fault of the patient. I had absolutely no complaints about Dr. Lew for many, many years and her work is generally quite good but I'm now switching to a different dentist. read more

This dentist has the worst attitude I have ever seen, seems irritated all the time. Doesnt bother volunteering information to patients and doesnt like being asked questions. Spends minimal time with patients and is not competent. They took measurements multiple times and still couldnt do things right. Go to Dr. Boyden instead, she shares her practice with him, he is the complete opposite read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Lew's for more than 15 years - she is the best dentist that I have ever had. I am almost hesitant to recommend her as I know if she gets too popular, I will have to wait longer, but I think she deserves whatever success she gets. My wife and 11-year-old son are also her patients. She is nice, gentle and has small hands. I am pretty dentist-phobic so I really appreciate her approach. read more

Before I met Diane I was horrified to go to dentist. 5years ago Diane was recommended to me by a friend and that changed my life. Her gentleness, precision, professionalism, caring, understanding, knowledge, friendliness, and having the client's best interest at heart brings me back to her over and over. Just had done 2 crowns, a few filings, 3 teeth implants and very happy about the smooth procedures Diane and her staff orchestrated, and now I have a beautiful smile! Everyone in the office is very warm, welcoming and loving people:) I am extremely happy and pleased by every visit and experience to Diane Lew! read more

Who doesn't hate dentists? I used to have a fear of dental visits until my experience with Dr. Lew and her staff since 1+ year ago. Prior to that, I'd use to have more fear for regular cleaning than root planing (that's how bad it was), solely because they numb you for the latter hence zero pain. My previous dentists would only instruct you to "brush better" and that's it, then at my next visit they'd criticize on how bad my gums still were and that I needed to "take better care of them" without explaining much. Here at Dr. Lew's, the hygienists are also especially nice and give a lot of TLC to their patients. They're certainly concerned and considerate of whether you feel comfortable of each tool they use. Alicia in particular, would even write notes on my chart trying to remember my preferences, so she'd remember the next time. I appreciate that so much! Six months easily flash by but I no longer fear of dental visits anymore. :) read more

My partner and I have been patients of Dr. Lew for years, but I'm just getting around to writing this review after today's appointment.. Dr Lew is competent, easy-going, friendly, and funny -- and the whole staff is friendly and welcoming. My partner has had some major dental work that went very well, and my routine cleanings are as pleasant as something like that can be. They also seem to do a great job filing claims with Delta Dental. Have never had a problem. read more

We moved to Sunnyvale several years ago from a neighboring city up the peninsula. I never changed dentists and kept commuting up the peninsula to visit my former dentist for several years after moving to the south bay. A friend from my daughter's soccer team highly recommended Dr. Lew. I figure I would give it a go and made an appointment with Dr. Lew for a teeth cleaning and check-up. Dr. Lew and her staff made me feel very comfortable and I felt as though I've known her and her team for many years. The hygienist, Alicia, was very thorough with my teeth cleaning and pointed out areas I should keep an eye on. I could tell she was quite passionate about her job. She was very conversational, in a good way, which eased my nervousness during my visit. Dr. Lew is an equally passionate and caring doctor who took the time learn more about me and examine my teeth. Overall, Dr. Lew and her team won me over. Fast forward two years, I actually look forward to my dental visits with Dr. Lew and her team. I've been spending more time brushing my teeth and flossing every night as a result of their encouragement. This review is long overdue and well deserved. read more

Dr. Lew and the staff at her practice are top notch, friendly, professional and are genuinely concerned about your health. Even in times of emergencies they were responsive and helped me through some difficult situations. I would not hesitate to recommend them! read more

I've never felt more comfortable in a dentist chair although it took some convincing to get me there. I've never been a big fan of going to the dentist, when I was a kid I tried to bite my old dentist, but I had no urge to bite Dr. Lew or her staff members! Dr. Lew and her staff are so friendly and welcoming. They make me feel like they actually care about me and I love how they are not only invested in my oral health, but also my overall well being. Even when there are temps for the normal hygienists, I still feel like I'm getting top notch quality care. I would strongly recommend the dental office of Diane Lew. read more

I've been going here for over 15 years and wouldn't go anywhere else! When I was a kid this place made me feel comfortable and I actually looked forward to going to the dentist! There are even great views from most of the rooms and most recently I watched hummingbirds fly just feet in front of me during my last check-up. All of the staff are friendly, helpful, and make me feel at home every time I go. Would highly recommend! read more
