This review is long overdue. I was a patient of Dr. Nishikawa's for over three years, and he's…read moreprobably the best dentist I've ever had. I had to switch dentists when he became out-of-network with my insurance. Dr. Nishikawa never pushes unnecessary treatments. When he believes something is needed, he takes the time to explain it clearly -I wish all dentists were like him. He is also incredibly skilled, and I always trusted him with any procedure. Once, I had concerns about a surgery recommended by a periodontist. I emailed Dr. Nishikawa, and he took the time to communicate with both the periodontist and the surgeon. He got back to me with a thoughtful explanation of why he believed it was the best option for my situation. If you're in the area and looking for a great dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Nishikawa.

UPDATE: This office is now adding made-up fees to routine cleanings, whether you're in-network or…read moreout-of-network and covered 100% with insurance. These charges are not clearly disclosed upfront, so don't be surprised when your bill is higher than expected. Ask for a full breakdown of costs before your appointment. In my opinion, this practice is more focused on squeezing extra money out of patients than providing honest dental care. Transparency is clearly not a priority. Save yourself the frustration and find a more trustworthy dental office.

From there I looked at all the dentists' credentials and was delighted to see that Dr. Chait went to one of the best dental schools in the nation. I'm not always a credential snob, but some bad experiences have made me realize that a baseline of proven excellence is always a good start. All in all, my fears were eased by a fantastic hygienist + another dental assistant and last but not least Dr. Chait who reminds me so much of my niece with her obvious smarts. good sense of humor, and last but not least- love for sports. I Also like that Dr. Chait Is conservative, not in a hurry to do a bunch of work that may not need doing. I could say more, but will refrain from writing an entire thesis here.

Beware of unnecessary and over diagnosing!…read more I started with this dentist when I moved back to the area around 2020. I have seen a dentist regularly my entire life (my mom worked for a dentist when I was young). Prior to coming to this Dentist, I never had a cavity and never required dental work beyond regular cleanings. After the first visit, I was told I had a cavity and needed a filling. I got the filling. Within one year or so after the first filling, I went in for a regular cleaning. The hygienist (who was always AMAZING!) said that my teeth looked great. Once the Dentist came in (it was not Dr. Pinedo), she started making certain remarks about my teeth to the hygienist who was taking notes. The hygienist said, "Really?" In a very surprising and almost questioning tone. The Dentist seemed to be annoyed by her reaction. Shortly after, I was told by the Dentist that I needed FOUR additional fillings (this after the hygienist commented that my teeth and x rays looked great). I had already been skeptical because I never once had a cavity in my 35+ years of going to the Dentist. I asked the Dentist to explain to me where the cavities were on the X rays. Then I asked to see the prior X rays so I could compare the two and see where I now had cavities. The Dentist appeared to be caught off guard. I know I am not a dentist, but the two x rays looked EXACTLY the same. I could not see even the slightest difference, and I did not see anything she was trying to point out as being the cavity. I explained to her that this was surprising to me because I never had cavities before, her response was that some dental providers might be more aggressive on treatment than others. She then sort of backed away and said I could watch the areas and see how they do. I left feeling very upset and later asked for my X rays to get a second opinion. Since that appointment, I sent the X rays to the Dentist my mom worked for who is a good family friend, he did not see anything on the X rays that he would consider a cavity or that needed dental work. I also asked my children's pediatric Dentist and she too could not see anything on the x rays that she would diagnose as requiring a filling or other work. And finally, today I saw my new Dentist who looked at the X rays and saw no cavities. In fact, they took a new full set of x rays (over one year after being told I need 4 fillings) and again said I needed no dental work, I have no cavities and that my teeth look great. I usually do not make posts like this, but I feel so taken advantage of. I'm so mad that I even got one filling with this office as I probably didn't even need that one. I'm SO grateful that I listened to my gut and didn't let them give me an additional 4! I have very good insurance, and I feel like this was purely about a profit. I understand that a business wants to maximize its profits but that should be absolutely off limits when it comes to over diagnosing unnecessary medical procedures. Be sure to always ask questions when told you need medical procedures, get second opinions and always trust your gut!

From the moment I arrived, everything was smooth and welcoming, including plenty of convenient parking. Dr. Lam truly goes above and beyond for his patients. He has an excellent bedside manner, is highly skilled, and takes the time to thoroughly explain what he is doing so you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. He made sure I felt the least amount of pain or sensitivity in the area I was getting work done. Also, he is swift and you can tell he has been doing this for awhile. What stood out most to me was how caring, patient, and communicative he is. It is rare to find a dentist who combines such professionalism, expertise, and genuine compassion. There is no doubt why he is also a professor of dentistry. His knowledge and attention to detail really show in his work. I was so impressed with my experience that I plan to bring my entire family to Dr. Lam. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for exceptional quality dental care. Thumbs up and thank you for today.

He is thorough, honest, and consistently resolves issues with great care and precision. Most importantly, he is a dentist you can genuinely trust. I highly recommend him.
