They take my insurance (Delta Dental) and parking is in the building and they validate. I've had Marilyn clean my teeth a few times and they're alway squeaky clean after. Last night I had accidentally flossed out an old filling so I had to make an appointment to get it fixed. Dr Chen was my dentist and even though I was running late, they were still able to get me in and complete the filling and I was on my way! It had to be the fastest filling I ever had with the x-rays and filling done within 45 minutes! I got there at 2:20pm and was out before 3pm! The numbing wore off after a few hours and I don't feel any discomfort. I also only paid about $118 for the filling and x-rays after my insurance. Dr Chen was really nice and checked to make sure I was doing okay and again was extremely quick and efficient. Some people don't like the clinical nature of this office but I love it! I recommend all of my friends, coworkers and family to come here!

The silver lining: they did their job. I came here for a routine cleaning and was treated very much…read morelike a number in line. It's not that the front staff were particularly unpleasant or rude, it was just a lack of being treated like a person. Im sure patient fatigue sets in from time to time because they cycle through so many people in one day, and front desk people are still people so I didn't pay too much mind to the lack of eye contact or general pleasantries. Name called, time to go back. The dental assistant guiding me was lovely, a very sweet girl. She made me feel comfortable despite my lifelong disdain for dentist offices and constant discomfort of presently being in one. She instructed me where to place my things and had me sit in the chair to wait for the dentist. The actual dentist was... awfully awkward and judgmental upon first impression. He questioned my piercings, and didn't hide his disgust at my tongue ring. He had the nerve to mumble, "how do you even clean this?" I felt embarrassed and couldn't answer due to the fact he was literally cleaning my teeth at the time of asking. So yeah I was in a vulnerable state. It made me feel gross? I take pretty good care of my piercings and change my jewelry periodically. Yes I brush my tongue piercing when I brush my teeth and I know the hygienic risks before I got the piercing. I have had it for years and no other dentist ever made me feel... judged for it. Anyway, my teeth were in good shape. Very clean. Still, very bad experience. 10/10 not going back there. Key takeaways: Front desk people seemed burnt out. They cycle through so many people in one day, so expect to be treated like a dollar sign. Dental assistant was a sweetheart. One dentist is really rude. Good for convenience, but if you want attentive dental care, go somewhere else.

Dr. Leong made me feel comfortable right away and explained everything very clearly so I could understand my options. I've been to many different dentists here on the island, but I can honestly say he's the best dentist I've seen. A lot of dentists make you feel like they only care about the money, but Dr. Leong truly listened to my concerns and took the time to make sure I felt comfortable throughout the treatment. His assistant, Trisha, was also amazing while assisting him during my procedure. The whole experience felt very reassuring and professional. Thank you to Dr. Leong and the team for making what could have been a stressful visit such a comfortable one.

And when I tried to reschedule they did everything to not schedule me in, first they tried pushing me 2 months out hoping I'd just say no, but when I accepted to their surprise, they quickly changed doctors to some other doctor I don't even know, then when I asked for Dr Ho, suddenly he became unavailable... it's just too obvious come on now.. On my first visit Dr Ho didn't even greet me or just say Hi. I was a business owner for 12 years and that's definitely not how I treated my clients. I'm not a number, I'm a human being who is reaching out to get help from a doctor who apparently won't even talk to you if you don't have your X rays done.. what is this a military boot camp come on? Saying hello only takes less than a minute and if it's not in your heart to give another human being just 1 minute of your time then I definitely think you shouldn't be working on my teeth. I feel this office prioritizes money & time over wanting to genuinely help people. So much for this referral, congratulations on you being the best dentist in town I'll look elsewhere.

Due to my lengthy travels, I was concerned about the needed cleaning and examination but hearing of negative dental experiences my son had in two other states, I decided to wait until I can get back into Doctor Ho and his assistants' trusted hands. In fact, my son is planing a far trip from East Coast to tend to his dental needs at Doctor's Ho, because he says there is no one out there he trusts anymore and no one out there (visited 4 professionals) that of Doctor Ho expertise, manner, knowledge, and ability. In retrospect, the best part we both perceive, is Doctor's Ho genuine concern for his patients and desire to bring about the best course of action. We experienced his outstanding care in the far past, resolving previous extensive needs. My husband and a friend or two are also his happy patients. It was an amazing experience, today, despite the discovery of a deep cavity, which Doctor Ho gracefully reminded me to be optimistic about. He has a way to put people at ease; I so appreciated his gentle comment! It felt good to have my teeth gently cleaned at last while hearing joyful laughter from another room. What a great team working with delight creating happy, relaxed atmosphere - a dental spa, I say. I am looking forward to fixing what's needed and once again thank you for all you do. I appreciate from the bottom of my heart.
