Dr. Niu is simply just the best dentist I have ever had! Not only is Dr. Niu and amazing person, but he is also an amazing person in general. I'm so thankful for Dr. Niu and what he has done to help the appearance of my teeth. My 'adult' teeth, unfortunately, broke off when I was 9 years old(now 16). Yet, Dr. Niu was the only dentist, among 10 or more(my mom went around LA looking for dentists to help and ended up going to 10+ dentists), that was able to use his methods to keep the roots of my teeth still on my teeth. Dr. Niu was able to keep a part of my real teeth there and still allow me to have realistic and amazing looking teeth! (they aren't permanent because when I become 18, I will have a procedure done to have more permanent teeth). I'm so grateful for Dr. Niu and everything he had done for my teeth and my appearance overall. During these past 7 years, this dental place has provided me with not only amazing teeth, but a chance to meet amazing people that have made such a large impact in my life. Other than Dr. Niu another amazing person in the area is Lisa, a dental assistant at the dental place. She is such an amazing and funny person, and overall just provides all the patients with so much love and care. I highly recommend this dental place! read more

I've been looking for pediatric dentist for over a year and have not find the one I like. Finally I was introduced by my brother and see dr. Niu. I am so happy to find him. He does not do general anesthesia like other dentists. I am very worried about the general anesthesia because so much side effect: can cause death. My son just teared a little, he was able to follow instructions and sit still. He need another side to be done. We will be back for the follow up. Dr. Niu: Thank you so much! Dr.Niu is the best dentist in town! I will bring both of my kids to him from now on. read more

Dr. Gary is very patient with kids, we have terrible experiences with other dentist before...I would highly recommend Dr. Gary as your first choice if you are looking for a good dentist! My two kids are no afraid to see dentist right now! read more

I've been coming to Dr. Niu since I was about 5 years old, and he's absolutely wonderful! Not only is he friendly and patient, but his staff members are all the best too! He's very professional at what he does, and very honest as well. I had my smile perfected by him with braces, and I had my wisdom teeth removed by him as well (which is one of the things that I'm so thankful for). It didn't hurt, and there was no swelling at all! I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking for a great dentist! read more

I love Dr. Niu!!! He has been my one and only dentist since I was 3. He cares about all his patients and makes sure that they are always satisfied. He gives the best advices for your teeth & even about life if you talk to him about it. I had all my baby teeth pulled out, braces, and even all 4 of my wisdom teeth removed by him. I would say he did a GREAT job on my braces and removing my wisdom teeth especially. I've seen a lot of my friends get their wisdom teeth taken out and their cheeks got really swollen for days. Luckily for me, Dr. Niu knows a way to remove your wisdom teeth w/o your cheeks being swollen. Let's be real, I didn't want to look like a chipmunk for a few days -___-. I still go back for normal check ups, to adjust my retainers, and to clean my teeth every now and then to make sure my teeth are in perfect condition and that I don't have any cavities. I've never had cavities in my life and I surely do not want to have any now or ever!!! If I could give Dr. Niu 10 stars, I would cause he's an AMAZING DENTIST!!!!! read more

Dr. Niu has been my dentist since I was a baby. (I'm 23 now.) He's taken care of my baby teeth and my adult teeth. He was there to repair my chipped front tooth after a scooter accident (lol) and a few other accidents with my two front teeth when I was younger. His assistants are very friendly and nice. The receptionists there are friendly as well and have always called me to remind me of a teeth cleaning a few days before my appointment (most places won't do that). Today I had my wisdom tooth pulled and was very afraid of the pain. Surprisingly, everything went normal and I did not feel a thing. I would definitely recommend Dr. Niu to all of my friends and family. read more

My sister and I have been coming to see dr niu since we were as young as I can recall and he's always taken care of us whenever we needed something done from teeth cleaning to braces and I would recommend him very highly to anyone that needs any oral work done! read more

Dr. Niu is a very caring dentist! All the office staff are really kind and patient as well. My family has been coming here for many years.

Dr Niu is incredible. He is our family dentist and I've been with him since I was 14. He changed my face , and I even got comments I had surgery done after my braces . I had my teeth braces done for 3 1/2 years . I no longer have an overbite and in fact my nose and jaw and chin looks longer and much more beautiful. Thanks to Dr Niu I have the looks now. read more

Hi all! I have been going to Dr. Niu since I was little and I have to say, he is the best dentist I have ever had. I've had another dentist before Dr. Niu when I was younger, who was rude and did not care about his patients. Everyone in the office is very knowledgeable, courteous, and care about your oral health. I also had my braces installed by doctor Niu when I was in high school. All very great experiences. All tools that they use are kept very clean and they have kept with the times, working with computers. If you are not happy with your current dentist or orthodontist, go ahead and give Dr Niu a try. read more

I actually don't dread going to the dentists! I've been coming to Dr. Niu since I was 3. He is one of the most patient dentists I know and truly cares about each and every one of his patients. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a good dentist. read more

My friend took her two year old daughter to fix cavity here about three weeks ago. Dentist knew the little one had medical insurance. The dentist suggested crowns to cover the three decayed front teeth. The outside of the crown is ivory color and the inside of the crown is silver color. Dentist charged them $1000 for three crowns and a swaddle service to set the patient still through the procedure. The dentist's explanation was the ivory paint on the outside of the crown was not covered by their insurance so patient had to pay $300 for each of the crown. They did the procedure and my friend paid $1000 in full and the crowns turned out a mickey mouse job !Only ten days later, the ivory paint worth 1000 dollars started to peel off and show the silver filling inside. My friend called the dental office for a refund out of unsatisfatory result and for updates of insurance reimbursement. The dental office said no refund but redo the job. They also told my friend they already sent in the insurance pre authorization paper work and were waiting for approval. My friend called in her insurance company today. Insurance rep clarified that crowns were 100% covered under the kiddo's insurance and NO pre authorization documents were sent in from this dental office as of yet ! Beware of this place. Tons of red flags. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Niu since about eight years old and at first, I was terrified of dentists because of a previous bad experience. However, Dr. Niu was always very patient, honest, and kind with me when I would go in for an appointment. Today, he removed my wisdom tooth and was very honest and kind in reassuring me about the entire process. Always have a great experience here, won't ever go anywhere else! read more

Best dentist ever. He's been my dentist since I was about 7 and now I'm 22 with amazing teeth. He's fun and the environment is so fun and welcoming, I love coming here. Thank you so much for wonderful service. You guys are the best. Lisa is the best!! I love her and if you come here she will welcome you and never forget you. She's amazing!! read more

I took my 4 year old son here for 2 root canal and 2 fillings. Both my son and I were scared of the procedure. He did warn us that if my son doesn't behave, he'll be strapped. We had the first appointment @ 9:30am. He was to be on fasting with no food or water 6 hours prior. So my son was hungry the whole time. Dr. Niu approached to my son to introduced to himself (2nd visit) and told him he'll fix his teeth and that it'll hurt a little but he'll try to do his best to prevent from hurting. I liked it that he tried to comfort my son and warm up with him a little before the procedure. It was slightly less than an hour procedure. The only pain my son felt was the first two shots to numb his gums. After that the rest of the procedure, he was fine. He didn't have to be strapped. I got to be in the room with him and witness the whole procedure. Dr. Niu was very professional, friendly, and caring. I will highly recommend him. My son was comfortable with him. read more

One of the best dentist!! I was referred by one of my co-worker and at that time I am desperate to find a good dentist to replace the old one who spend one hour to comfort the kids but nothing has been done. I am very happy to find Dr. Niu since then. Both my daughter and my son start to have regular check up with Dr. Niu since 4 years old and Dr. Niu definitely will not recommend UN-neccesorry treatment. read more

Dr. Niu and his staff are as kind, professional, and efficient as you can get (shout out to Lisa!). Believe me when I say that as a child, I was *difficult*. Yet, Dr. Niu managed to deal with my temper while providing excellent dental services. During the 10+ years my sister and I have been under his care, everything from routine cleaning to braces has gone smoothly - especially my wisdom teeth extraction! Dr. Niu's procedure involved waiting until my teeth grew out, which meant several things: 1) No general anesthesia administered - only local, so I was fully conscious post-operation, 2) No swollen cheeks, 3) No lying around in miserable pain and starvation for the next week - in fact, I was able to eat soft foods the next day! Although the results are probably different for each person, other reviews seem to echo positive experiences. Dr. Niu and his staff know what they're doing and do their best to make it as painless a process as possible. In all, the only complaint I had after getting my wisdom teeth out was not having an excuse to eat more ice cream... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ read more

Dr. Niu's dentistry is wonderful! He was my orthodontist when I had braces, but I also see him for regular check-ups. I recently had my wisdom tooth removed, but I was not worried at all. There was no pain, no swelling or medication needed the next day. All my widom teeth were extracted by Dr. Niu and I never had to take medication or had my face swell like other wisdom teeth cases. Dr. Niu waits for the wisdom tooth/teeth to grow out so he won't need to cut open your gums, which will cause the swelling and pain. As for my braces, my teeth are straight and I get compliments on how straight they are often. Dr. Niu made ortho visits easy and quick, but with quality care! I highly highly recommend Dr. Niu! read more

Dr. Niu is a great dentist! I've been going there since I was about 7 and he's always been very informative and patient. I will be needing implants soon, because I'm missing adult teeth. He's going to transfer me to some other orthodontist to do that, and is going to work with him to do it. Also, Dr. is very honest telling his patients how will things feel like (any pain etc). His front desk assistants are very friendly and nice, and will call you when a teeth cleaning appointment is needed. I am very satisfied and happy! read more

Dr. Niu has been our family dentist for as long as I can remember. As a patient of his for almost 2 decades I can speak first hand through my experiences that he is both professional and gentle. I have had my braces done through him and had my wisdom teeth removed through him. I completely trust that Doctor niu is the best dentist in the sgv and will continue to go to him!!! read more

My daughter received orthodontic treatment here several years ago. It turns out that there were issues with the treatment. When we went back to Dr. Niu's office, his wife insisted that we pay BEFORE the consultation instead of after. She also insisted on cash payment (card is $5 extra). The attitude was really bad. read more

My little girl and I would like to say Thank You always to Dr. Niu and his super team for making the dentist trips awesome!!

Dr.Niu. You lied. On 3-14-2014, you didn't even see my daughter. Your office let us sign a paper then we left in 1 min. I have voice records with your office. The man clearly said you were not available on that day. read more

No star to give if possible. One of the worst experience. I got the referral for my daughter's treatment. For my other experience about referral, I can just make appointment and paid for that specific thing on the approval. But when I got there, this dentist office said they need the consultation before started that and needed to charge me additional. Because I didn't want to schedule another appointment again, so I paid. But after the consultation, they said they cannot do the treatment the same day. I went there just because of this specific procedure and turned out they did others but not the thing with my insurance's approval. Also, they said if my daughter cannot stay without any movement, they have to charge another $150 (which is not covered by insurance) to tie her up on a "special children board" and called this as "special treatment"........ I called to my insurance to complain about this kind of "Dentist". read more

The worst dentist and charge overprice. Will not ever come back to this office again. It took close to 2 hours to be call in and consultation and get x-ray for my two kids even with appointment scheduled. Find a better place else where. read more

Chipped my tooth when adjusting my braces because he is NOT careful with his tools. Horrible attitude after I pointed it out and extremely rude receptionist. Don't go if you want your tooth in one piece. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Niu's since I was 5 and this year I turn 22. Dr. Niu saved my teeth when I was younger. I went to multiple dentists and because of the horrid condition of my teeth, they all told my parents that I would need to pull out at least 5 teeth. Finally we stumbled across Dr. Niu's and he looked and exhausted all possible options to try and save my teeth without pulling them all out. Him and his staff care deeply about their patients and treat them as family. Everyone is friendly and welcoming (particularly Lisa). From the other interactions I have see with patients, the staff always try their best to remain calm and patient when helping children and other clients. Truly Dr. Niu is a highly skilled dentist that always puts his patients first. read more

Me and my sister have been going there for two years and Dr Niu is very nice to both of us. Although I live in Santa Cruz, I am still very willing to come back every month to see Dr niu. Best dentist ever! read more

I've been with Dr. Niu for over 12 years now. I had a very severe overbite when I was 9 years old, and thankfully, Dr. Niu noticed the condition early on before it was too late to fix. Unlike for most patients, the severity of my case required that I wear a special retainer (prior to braces) designed to correct the position of my jaw. I wore the retainer for three years and then got braces for another two years; both (especially the retainer) made a significant difference to my bite! Not only is Dr. Niu creative, but he is also very experienced! He will thoroughly assess your case and advise the most effective and necessary treatment to give you the best results. I've continually been impressed by Dr. Niu's work that I had him remove my wisdom teeth as well. He did it with the least painful method and was meticulous with his work, I ended up not experiencing any swelling! With the difficulty of my condition, Dr. Niu has done all he could to significantly improve my teeth. I highly recommend you go see Dr. Niu today for a beautiful smile! read more

Doctor Niu is an amazing pediatric dentist. He is very caring and professional. He is truly truly cares about his patients. I was so grateful that I was recommended from a friend about him 3 years ago. He is my son's 4th dentist because I had been trying to look for a dentist who does not use sleeping sedation. And we found him and have been going with Dr. Niu since then. Nowadays, most of the dentists just want to use sedation treatments with the kid. But with Dr. Niu, he always tries make it as simple and safe as possible for kids. With that said, he does not use any SEDATIONs at all. It was 3 years ago that my son (he was almost 5 years old) met Dr. Niu for the 1st treatment. My son had quite a lot of cavities in the molars, and Dr. Niu did the fillings with no crowns. With the front teeth cavities, he recommended just monitoring. He uses Papoose board only if the kids are not cooperative. Amazingly, my son was able to cooperate with him. Lets make a long story short, Dr. Niu is incredible. If you are looking for the dentist with a good heart, he is the one. read more

Dr Niu isvery professional, is also very good, very patient, the children liked him, before the children go to other dental clinics, all stop crying, came to the cattle here, the children not only cry, but also with Dr Niu, dental treatment, we recommend children to the dentist here! read more

Great Dentist! Dr. Niu has been my dentist for over 10 years. His staff is amazing (special shout out to Alex and Lisa for always being so attentive to detail). read more

Dr.Niu is an amazing dentist, he's been my go to dentist since I was a child. He is the best at what he does and does not disappoint. Not only that, but he is very friendly towards children and adults equally. His team of dentists, assistants, and other staff members should also be commended, they're all very friendly and most have been with him for many years. As a team, they have a certain chemistry that just can't be beaten. If you're looking for quality dentists and service, Dr. Niu is a MUST. read more
