I have been a patient of Dr. Chao for more than 30 years. He and his staff are excellent! I have had the best care through everything from cleaning, fillings and referal to an excellent orthodontist for braces. I have referred numerous patients to him and they have thanked me profusely for sending them to such an excellent dentist and staff. My 34 year old daughter has gone to him for 20 years and has perfect teeth--no cavities. The hygenists and office staff are so helpful and friendly and the office is so pleasant. read more

Dr. Chao's office and staff are incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. Rossi did my dental cleaning and was so gentle, making the entire experience comfortable and stress-free. I always feel well taken care of here and highly recommend this office! read more

Best Dentist in LA. I'm a medical doctor myself, so I only go to people who meet a standard: Great work, Great bedside manner and Reasonable Prices. Take a look at rest of the reviews, his hands are money, his touch is gentle and his hygienist team is thorough! read more

Very nice dentist, very professional. He explains everything in detail. He did a great job with my teeth. It was painless. The result is excellent. His team is very nice too. read more

Dr Chao is the most gentle dentist I've had in my life. Sitting with my mouth wide open doesn't feel invasive at all when he takes care of me. His work is the witness of his mastery. I had a lose crown 14 years ago and dr Chao fixed it so well it's still strong and secure. My recent visit was a very reassuring one, I'm so happy we crossed paths again. The atmosphere is the office is very friendly, personable and professional. It only makes sense that a person like dr Chao attracts likeminded and kind people for his practice. I hope I don't have any dental problems in the future but if I do - dr Chao is the one and only dentist I'd go to! read more

Still amazing after all these years. Highly recommend Dr. Chao. Clean office, friendly/knowledgeable staff, and everything is about patient comfort! Wouldn't go anywhere else :) read more

I had odd pain in my jaw and sinus area. Maybe TMI, lol, but they got me into his schedule. He did a thorough exam, and figured out what's wrong. Gave me exercises to help with the pain Dr. Chao is a great dentist and terrific human being. He cares. His staff if on top of everything, and are also nice and kind. Most people hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Chao will change your mind. read more

Highly recommend Dr. Chao & his staff. They are super personable, patient, and answer all of my questions. Many dentists are known for ripping patients off, but that is NOT the case here. Dr. Chao is honest and truly cares for his patience. I refuse to go to another dentist! Also with COVID, the staff has taken all the right safety measures - temperature checks, air purifiers, masks, face shields, offers hand sanitizer, & more. Thanks, Dr. Chao, Melanie at the front desk, & all the staff for doing an awesome job. Keep up the great work. read more

I am so grateful for Dr Chao! I have been seeing Dr Chao for more than 8yrs and he is genuinely caring, takes great care of my teeth and he has been incredibly responsive the two times I've had dental emergencies. Most recently I had a crown fall out* on a weekend and just 18hrs before an international flight! I emailed Dr Chao and he responded quickly and he fixed the tooth with a few hours to spare. Truly a life saver - thank you Dr Chao! *Crown work, fwiw, was done by a prior dentist :) read more

The nicest experience every time! From the front office staff to the dental hygienist, I had a wonderful dental visit! Professional, polite, kind, and so friendly! Highly recommend again and again! read more

My family (Me, My husband and my son) we all have been going to Dr. Chao for many many years... The office is always super clean, very well organized... When he treats us... He never rush through the process... He make sure we are comfortable and we understand the procedures that he will be doing. We referred so many family, friends and co-workers to him! read more

My friend introduced me to DR Chao and his team over  8 years ago I have never been disappointed and always walked out with a big smile. DR Chao and his team are amazing and caring thank you for doing whatever you do for me and my friends. read more

This office has the best staff and the best dentist I've ever experienced. Dr. Chao is thorough, takes his time, explains everything, and personally follows up. I wish more dentists or any medical professional would care this much about thier patients. read more

I have been lucky to have good dentists throughout my life but Dr. Chao is the best, the most thorough, most communicative, nicest dentist of them all. His staff from the front desk to dental assistants are great as well. Highly recommend. read more

Oh where do I begin with Dr. Chao!? He is such a sweet and relaxed doctor! My whole experience was very calm. Coming from a family of dentistry, I am always a bit skeptical of anyone looking at my pearly whites, but since that office is located on the east coast I decided to get a referral out here and have a little faith! The office itself is very clean. The actual exam was very informative. Dr. Chao is a straight shooter. One of the biggest things I like about him! He let me know what can wait to get worked on and what needs more attention. I appreciated that a lot because many professionals easily take advantage of new clients just to make a quick buck. Dr Chao is a rare find. Check him out-- he is really great. And they have an office pooch! A golden retriever I believe.. Sup chill and mellow. I like! I will be visiting him again. Thanks doc! read more

Great Dentist! Dr. Chao is a guy who genuinely cares about his patients. He never seems rushed. He takes time to listen to what you have to say. He also follows up with phone calls to see how you're doing following a procedure. I know of no other dentist who does that. He's a great guy, and his staff is also very friendly and helpful. Oh, yah, there's a small parking lot, and the parking is free. You can almost always find a space. read more

Dr Chai's staff is professional and friendly and very efficient. Dr Chao is exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and informative. Highly recommend!! read more

My experience was the best. I had an emergency. The office staff are polite, helpful and got me the first available appointment. Dr. Chao is awesome! Very clear and informative and honest. He is an excellent technician and dentist. He listened to my concerns and respondered. He reset my bridge better than the original setting. His dental assistant was wonderful also. I highly recommend working with Dr.Chao. read more

Dr. Chao had amazing protocols in place for my in-person teeth cleaning. Called upon my arrival and was told when to come inside. Temperature check upon entry. Went straight to exam room- no sitting in the waiting room. Noticed no-touch equipment in the exam room. Everyone was was wearing FULL PPE. Gowns, gloves, face masks and face shields. Felt super safe. My teeth are very happy! read more

After many years, I can say that my and my husbands teeth have been doing better than ever because of the dental care we get at this office. As for pandemic measures, they make everything effortless and easy and safe. Everyone is in full ppe gear and rooms are sanitized between patients. I felt super safe and comfortable during my visit. As always, I appreciate how thorough they are with confirming appointments (I like to get their text notifications to remind me) and informing me of what to expect when I arrive. The staff is friendly as ever. And I love that they have a nice large safe parking lot with validated parking. read more

I don't normally write Yelp reviews but I felt like had to for Fred Chao and crew. I've been a happy client of Dr. Chao and staff for years now because he is so good at what he does and the staff is so awesome. I've had a lot of work done (root canals, implants, fillings, cleanings) from a variety of places but by far, Chao and staff have been the best! Dr. Chao is very careful and gentle for whatever you are in for at the office. He checks not only for the health of your teeth but also the health of your gums, throat, tongue, etc. Who likes getting the shot? I sure don't but he is super good at getting you numb without feeling so anxious. Got fillings and cleaning scheduled? No prob, goto this office because they are damn good. Other dentists may try to rip you off but this team is outstandingly down to earth and awesome. And Melanie is so smooth at what she does in terms of scheduling appointments and responding to emails and many other things. Also, the waiting is very minimal and the rest of the crew are super knowledgeable about everything dentistry. I finally got my mouth guard and even though there was a tiny mishap with the lab which delayed my mouth guard by 5 hrs, the team gave me a bottle a wine and a gift card for the delay! Honestly the delay did not bother me at all but I was touched by the care and attention they provide for their customers. Does wine erode your teeth? Yes! I learned that from Dr. Chao because he always goes above and beyond on how I can better take care of my teeth. Cheers to Dr. Chao and team in making going to the dentist a pleasure experience! read more

Dr Chao- very professional, detailed, patient. Very transparent throughout the process. Amazing staff

Dr. Chao sees whole families I know! The parents trust him as much as the kids. He has been honest with me about what my daughter needs (to brush and floss specific areas more), and what she doesn't (panoramic x-rays or braces!). He is a great communicator: direct and empathic, with a sense of humor and warm demeanor. His office has the best set-up for watching tv shows across multiple platforms (while receiving treatment), a great staff, and easy and validated parking. I can't think of a single negative about his practice. read more

Awesome customer service and very friendly. Cleaning was thorough and gentle. Very accommodating, having a young child with me.

Dr. Chao is very professional, thorough, kind and considerate. His dental hygienist Liz is the best! read more

Great Dentistry experience, clean office, friendly service, no fear of being ripped off or being taken advantage off. 10/10

Fred and his assistant made quick work spackling and caulking a void under my crown with minimal discomfort. Melanie, the receptionist, always has a pleasant greeting. read more

The right decision, years since last dentist visit Dreaded my first trip in 10 years since living in the USA (from Sydney), well once in NY.. anyway the staff were super polite, no rush, Dr Chao was calm and inspected my mouth, no 'ohhh' or 'oh dear'.. just a look and ran me through what needed work & a plan of attack. Explained best strategy factoring in my health insurance too. Big help. Massively impressed read more

I've been seeing Dr. Chao for a couple of years now and will never go anywhere else. I find him extremely professional, knowledgeable, articulate and caring. I'm confident in any dental procedure I may need and will always recommend my loved ones to him. I recently chipped my front tooth and he did an amazing job throughout the whole process. I highly recommend. read more

I actually relaxed and listened to a book during my cleaning and the checkup with Dr. Chao was through and very pleasant. Everyone who works there is just the nicest. Can't give a higher recommendation. read more

I really like Dr Chao and his friendly staff. I've been going to him for sometime and was going to both the old office and now the new office. The new office is amazing!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Chao for over ten years. He is a wonderful dentist and a fine person. His staff is friendly and professional. Dr. Chao's techniques are essentially painless, even the anesthesia injection. He puts on some topical numbing gel before he gives the injection, and you barely feel a thing. He explains each aspect of your case clearly, and even shows me my Xrays. I cannot recommend him high enough. Six stars! read more

Dr. Fred Chao is very knowledgeable and skillful. My toothache is much better Immediately! Also staff are so kind and professional mode. I am so respect and proud of them. read more

Dr Chao and his dental hygienists are top notch. New, fancy building with ample free parking. Thanks for taking care of my family and our teeth. Next up is baby Oakley read more

Fred Chao is HONEST. I know this because before him, two other dentists wanted to give me fillings for cavities. But then I saw Fred and he meticulously showed me my X-rays and said I didn't have any. I know I've been scammed before, years ago, so I was always hesitant to believe dentists, just like mechanics. But Fred proved he's a keeper. And his staff is great, plus I got to watch House of Cards on TV (netflix) while they cleaned my teeth =) read more

Dr Chao was perfection and I have been to every dentist this side of the Pacific Ocean. I was petrified as I went in for my first root canal. Dr Chao and his lovely dental assistant eased my fears immediately with a calm demeanor and very thoughtful explanations throughout the entire process, preparing me for the slightest bit of uncomfortable sensation I might experience, which was surprisingly minimal. I had a root canal/ crown put in, and I feel absolutely great the day after. Not a drop of pain and the results are excellent. I highly recommend this dentist. read more
