Dr. Jennifer Lee has been our family dentist since 2018. She not only has an amazing, warm, caring practice, but she makes the most ethical recommendations of any dentist we can remember. Her caring attitude clearly keeps the patient front and center, and it shows in our returning to her practice year after year. If you appreciate an honest, hardworking dentist focused primarily on the patent's success--you've come to the right place! Michael Fried, Foster City. read more

I started going to Dr. Lee's office when I was living in San Mateo. She's the best dentist I've ever had, so even though I've since moved to San Francisco, I still go out of my way to use her as my dentist. She's very thorough and friendly and she does all of the cleaning herself. I've never had a dentist that did such a good job cleaning. Other offices I've been to in the past have had assistants or something do the cleanings and then the dentist does a flyby at the end to take a quick look for any issues - not the case here! I've recommended her to all of my friends who live in the area and many of them use her as their dentist too! read more

Dr. Lee is thoughtful and thorough! I was recommended to Dr. Lee by my friend, and now I recommend her to all of my friends. It's great to have a friendly neighborhood dentist. My wife and I love going in to get our teeth taken care of whether for a cleaning or (occasional) cavity. She and her team are fun to spend time with, and the time flies by staring out at the cute things in the backyard. They're courteous and make sure you're comfortable the whole time and they know a lot of great doctors in the area for any follow up stuff with specialists. COVID-19: Also they're super prepared with COVID-19 and PPE with prep-calls and procedures when you arrive. read more

I found this dentist from my insurance network dentist website. When I called, I gave them my insurance info to verify if they are still in my insurance network. The receptionist said she can not tell me if they are in my insurance network. read more

I wanted to write Dr. Lee a private letter rather than leaving a less than perfect review but it seems she isn't reachable unless it's through her receptionist/assistant. Honestly, I liked Dr. Lee. She is efficient, friendly and does great dental work. I, however, had issues with her assistant who on occasion said she called to leave messages and never did. Like one other reviewer mentioned, I am also on top of it with checking voicemails and emails. My former dentist also emailed her office some dental history information and had to send it twice because the assistant claimed she never received it and it took two weeks to get a response from her via email and phone calls. My last interaction was when I had an tooth emergency and her assistant didn't seem to care. She said she couldn't stay that late that day and that she tried calling me for an earlier appointment but I did not respond so it was too late. I never received an earlier call. I asked what number she called and she shrugged it off and didn't answer. I'm not sure if her assistant is overwhelmed with work or just doesn't mind being a little dishonest but it concerned me enough to not return. It's too bad because I really do think Dr. Lee is a great dentist and I didn't want her to think I left because of her. read more

We had to change dentist because our last family dentist went out of network. I don't like going to the dentist. Dr. Lee was great! She was very personable and witty. Very light handed, I never felt any discomfort. My family and I will now have a new family dentist. Highly recommend this business. ( The Office admin was awesome as well) Regards read more

I've had the same dentist for over 20yrs in Daly City so I was pretty nervous to switch dentists since they were like family. I'm so happy to have found Dr. Lee near my new home in San Mateo! She and June (her assistant) are both awesome at what they do and very friendly and accomodating. I had some troubles with my dental insurance, but June helped me through it so I'm pretty glad about that! I also got braces from an orthodontist and when it was time for my bi-annual cleaning during my ortho treatment, she gave me some floss picks that would help floss better. How thoughtful of her! I noticed how well she really pays attention to detail because when my braces came off she noticed just a little bit of glue still on my teeth, which she helped remove! Overall, I highly recommend her dental service! read more

Jennifer Lee, DDS - Love how the chair faces a peaceful view of the little garden at the back! hehe! - General Dentistry Near Me - San Mateo, California

Super cool DDS. My tooth was hurting so bad. She totally went out of her way to come in after hours and really took care of biz. Highly recommend. She's the best!!!!!!!! read more

Big fan of Dr Lee. Very friendly, very honest. She'll tell you like it is and not try to sell you something you don't need. One of my favorite dentists ever. read more

If I could give 6 stars I would! I hit the jackpot when I found Dr. Lee -- I've had a string of mediocre (at best) dentists since I moved to the Bay Area, but now I finally have a dentist I would recommend to anyone. I have super sensitive nerves that don't numb particularly easily, and I'm always amazed when a dentist roughly tells me "You can't possibly feel that!" and keeps going. (Seriously, what's up with that? Yes, I do feel that, and it hurts!) During my first visit with Dr. Lee, she told me that while it isn't common, she does have patients who don't get numb and she knows what to do to work with that, which instantly set me at ease, and I was left feeling like it was all in a day's work when (of course) the first attempts to get me numb didn't work. She always takes good care of me! Dr. Lee has the perfect combination of what I think of as surgical focus and compassion and/or gentleness. Without breaking her stride, she will check in to make sure everything is going well even though you can tell she is hyper-focused on what she is doing. She is probably the most thorough dentist I've ever been to, probably because you have her full attention on you. I had let my dental care lapse after a particularly bad experience with my last dentist, and I've had to go back for several visits in the past few months to get a few fillings and to fix a broken crown and I've been amazed by how little discomfort I experienced afterwards. (That crown was a particularly nasty business but she handled it better than I could have expected!) Her assistant June always has a smile on her face and leaves you laughing and comfortable. Their report feels like family, and you get included in that familial energy. I am thrilled to have found them and would highly recommend them -- in fact several of my friends have already followed my recommendation and started seeing her too, with equally good results! read more

Dr. Lee is very nice and relaxed, I have had good experience cleaning and filling my teeth with her. She's very comforting, and she gives you breaks during a session to relax your mouth muscle. Her office is very clean, modern, and she has a cute little backyard. Appointment with Dr. Lee is very far out, I guess mainly because she's doing your cleaning herself. The receptionist/assistant is very nice as well and always tries to help you move your dates forward if possible. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Lee for five years now, both at her former San Francisco practice and now at her new San Mateo location. She is a perfect match for someone who wants a personalized, friendly experience. It's a small office and you know that you are the center of their focus during your entire visit. Her assistant, June, is cheerful and fun and will update you on your plan and what is covered, i.e. how many cleanings per year, etc. Most importantly, Dr. Lee is gentle but meticulous, and I like that she does most of her own cleanings herself, rather than an assistant. She is also very straightforward about showing you what needs to be done, what areas to focus on when brushing your teeth or flossing, and what procedures should be done right away and what can wait or be followed... honesty is very important in a dentist! I know I can always trust her advice and have never felt that she was pushing me into something unnecessary. Also, once when I developed sudden tooth pain while traveling, she saw me the same day I got back, did a deep cleaning around base of the tooth, and was able to take care of the problem without a root canal - amazing! She made sure I was very numb so that the entire procedure was very painless... it felt better immediately and really helped to defuse a painful and scary situation. I've been so happy with her care I have followed her to her new location even though it is a drive for me! read more

Dr. Lee's office is great! I was referred out for a procedure and have been realizing how great she is as I go through one and another dentist that do not make feel as confident and comfortable as she does while I try to take care of my particular dental issue. I look forward to coming back for regular treatment with Dr. Lee and June:) read more

Wow, I'm the first to review Dr. Jennifer Lee? She is awesome, our family really loves her services. We were concerned when our previous dentist retired, and when Dr. Lee took over the office we decided to probe a bit to see if they staff sounded nice. They were beyond nice and helpful, and the Dentist herself was not only really cool but seemed to do a really great job with our cleanings and other procedures. Thanks Dr. Lee for the great service (and for all the extra help with our paperwork requirements for work!) - we really appreciate everything. read more

Dr. Lee and miss June, what an amazing team they are! I would like to give 6 stars to Dr. Lee, she is just fantastic and hella funny. I have been their patient for more than 4-5 months now and she does an amazing job, will always guide you rite, no BS!!! My experience from cleaning to fillings to front shattered tooth has been amazing, she does an amazing job. Dr. Lee will make sure to fix the issue the right way, she absolutely will never rush to fix the issue and believe me she will put a genuine smile on your face when you walk on your way out. Miss June - OMG I don't remember how many times I have to reschedule my appointment and she will always work with you, she will also give you a reminder call a day earlier. I just want to thank Dr. Lee and miss June for all you do what you do :) read more

She is always helpful and knows her stuff. She is very friendly and gets the job done quickly. And she has a great personality. Her rates are reasonable. What else can I say. I have been using her for several years. read more

Dr. Lee is a fantastic doctor, and the best dentist I've ever had. She is very thorough, very honest, and supremely attentive. Frankly, I can't recommend her enough! She is a great professional who does her job really, really well, while making you feel comfortable and reassured. She never tries to make you buy any service you don't need, she speaks directly and to the point, and she has a very pleasant personality. I have been Dr. Lee's patient for a several years now, and I can't be happier with my dentist. Every time I go to the office for a scheduled visit, I know that I will be in good care. Dr. Lee truly cares about her patients and it shows. Her current assistant, Nicole, is also very lovely and helpful. The previous assistant, June, was very nice too. They make you feel comfortable from the moment you open the entrance door. read more

I called to make an appointment for the first time and I left a message but I never got a call back from them also I left my phone number 2 times to make sure they will get it correctly. read more

I've had quite a few dentists throughout the years, but Dr. Lee is by far my favorite to date. She is meticulous and thorough in her work (but will not try and scare you as some dentists do...). She's extremely knowledgable and approachable. Dr Lee and June radiate such positive energy, you leave feeling like you just had a massage or something! They are a fantastic team. read more

I was referred to Dr. Lee when I moved to California two years ago. A friend was a patient, and she raved about her dentist, Dr. Lee. Within moments of my first appointment, I knew why. Dr. Lee and her assistant, June, may be two of the best medical/dental folks I've ever encountered. I never worried about pain, for Dr. Lee took great care to explain all procedures to me, and she gave me exceptional care, combining gentleness with focus. She and June are honest, contentious, thorough, and responsive. Dr. Lee listened carefully to what I needed done over the course of two years, ultimately replace all my fillings (eeek), and she scheduled it to fit my insurance capabilities and time. Always attentive and good for a laugh to lighten the anxiety of dental work, she and June work efficiently and effectively. June is quite conscientious in scheduling to fit clients' schedules, and Dr. Lee accommodated me on a few occasions outside of her regular schedule. I was very sad to ultimately move away from California for a variety of reasons, and one of them was Dr. Lee. By the end of my time there, these two felt more like family I was sad to leave. Rarely does one encounter such an honest and dedicated practitioner, and how many people say goodbye to their dentist with such a big smile?!? Thanks, Dr. Lee! Thank you, June! I hope your practice continues to grow, for you are both excellent at what you do. read more

Dr. Lee is awesome along with her assistant. They are both attentive and very helpful with my dental work. I switched to Dr. Lee after a bad experience with my former dentist. Dr. Lee worked with me to replace my crown and made sure her referrals were the best. I truly appreciate her work and help. read more

If you are looking for a denist who is knowledgable, competent, relaxed, and an all around bad ass, then look no further. Dr Jen is friggin grrrrrrreeeeeeatttt! Two weeks ago I had a crown and filling done at the same time. I was a little apprehensive, but after the work, I felt no pain. Get this! My bite was on point too! June, her assistant is equally as great. There is NEVER a wait, because you are the only appointment booked. So you are in the chair as soon as you arrive. I definitely found a gem. read more

Let me start by saying that I have had some good dentists over the last 20 years. Even one that I would have easily given 5 stars. From the moment I walked into Dr. Lee's office, I knew I was going to like this place. June greeted me with a big smile and she instantly joked with me and acted like we were old friends. June is a great asset for Dr. Lee. Her personality alone is enough for her to earn whatever salary she receives. She clearly loves life and enjoys her job and you can't help but smile right along with her. Dr. Lee is also fantastic. She has a great sense of humor and has every ability that I would desire in a dentist. Primarily, she makes the needle experience painless. She is focused and timely. She has a wonderful personality. She is meticulous and a perfectionist. The only thing I can possibly hold against her is that she went to Ohio State, but that's a personal thing. The third best thing about Dr. Lee, June and the wonderful practice they run is that they only schedule ONE PATIENT AT A TIME! Someone may be wrapping up when you walk in or someone may come in as you are finishing, but every time I have been there, I have been the only patient in the office for at least 90% of the time that I am there. I can honestly say that I look forward to my dentist appointments because I enjoy conversing and joking with them so much. That sounds crazy even as I type it, but it's true. So in summary, do not go here! Don't even think about calling them and making an appointment. You really don't want to do that. Ok, ok, ok, I'm being selfish because I want them to always be able to book my appointments. As long as June and Dr. Lee have time for me, then everyone should go here! read more

I've been seeing Dr Lee for almost two years now, and hands-down she is the most amazing dentist I've ever had. Not only does she focus on your comfort during cleanings, fillings, etc, but she is also very personable. She remembers the important details like my husband's name, and that I love the pina colada flavored numbing gel. Altogether, it makes what can be a very scary experience a very positive one. One time I had a small emergency (chipped a tooth) and she made room in her schedule to see me right away. She really cares about her patients. June, as others have mentioned, is also amazing and hilarious. You really feel like you're best friends who happen to catch up every six months over a thorough dental exam. :) They're the perfect team! read more

I had to schedule an appointment over 3 months out. I figured that it would be worth the wait, considering all the positive feedback here, and I've had some nightmarish dental experiences. When I finally arrive, the receptionist informs me that she's cancelled my appointment because I didn't call to confirm. She lifts her hands and shakes her head, saying, "Well, I left multiple messages." I did not receive any calls, and I'm on top of my voicemail. Why would you cancel an existing appointment? Your doctor's office doesn't cancel appointments if you don't call them ahead of time to confirm the appointment you already booked - redundant and annoying. I'm sure Dr. Lee is a great dentist, but I'm not waiting another season to find out. Be sure to call to make an appointment forever away in the future, and then make sure to call and let them know that you meant it. read more

Can not deny i am not a fun of Dentists, but Dr. Lee Rocks............. honestly every time i have been there June and of course Dr. lee treat me like family. they make the time go fast, they are easy going and moreover they are professional!!! i love this place. Please if you are looking not just for a good dentist if not for a great Dentist, go see her. i definetely like the way she works. read more

Dr. Lee was so amazing. I wish I had found Dr. Lee years ago when I first moved here. She was the most thorough and friendliest dentist I've ever had. My only "complaint" (which I say jokingly) is that she and June are just so fun to talk to, it was hard to have to stop talking when they needed to actually work. I have a permanent retainer on both my top and bottom 5 front teeth, that is cemented to every single tooth so you have to go in and out of the retainer to floss every one of those teeth. Biggest annoyance in the world and I admitted to Dr. Lee that I don't floss between those teeth because it's such a hassle and impossible for a few of them (I do floss the teeth without the retainers). She showed me a trick that just saved me so much time and effort. I had no idea it was actually pretty easy because I've never had a dentist take the time to show me the trick. I actually told Dr. Lee that no dentist or hygienist has ever even flossed under my retainer (no joke!) and that one actually told me it was going to take too much time and just refused. Dr. Lee got noticeably agitated and told me that made her so mad because dentists need to lead by example and they are hurting their patients by not practicing what they preach. After the examination, she actually sat down next to me, talked through everything, gave me a mirror to see what she was talking about as she pointed to things, and then answered all my questions. I highly recommend Dr. Lee to everyone and even got my boyfriend to change dentists and make an appointment with her. read more

Jennifer is a fantastic dentist and June is always a fun conversation waiting to happen. The experiences i've had with both have led me to recommend them to my entire family. Jennifer is both gentle and meticulous in her work and ensures that you have the best experience possible. She's always positive, works hard to ensure you are taken care of, and also provides the best tooth brushes I have ever received at a Dental office. If you are looking for a new dentist in the area, I cannot recommend her enough. read more

Jennifer and June make every part of dental care extremely warm and welcoming. You can tell from every interaction that they have your best interests at heart. As a bonus they are both lovely and always willing to take the time to explain every detail and inject, all pun intended, a bit of humor! Already looking forward to my next appointment. read more

Dr. Lee is great! I very rarely write reviews, but I had a great cleaning with her that was worth sharing. My last dentist appointment was well over a year ago and I never floss so my teeth were in need of a serious clean. She spent an hour and a half with me and gave me a deep cleaning without trying to sell me on the service. She just did it because she knew my teeth needed it and never gave me a hard time for not coming sooner and not flossing. She is super nice and does a great job. I never expected that I would write a review about dentist, but she deserves it. read more

Last Wednesday I had my first visit to this office and I was delighted with Dr Lee. I thought that my appointment was going to be cancelled due to a problem with my own insurance but June made several phone calls until she could figure out what the problem was and found a solution to it. This lady is a great asset to the office, if I had a business that needed an AWESOME front desk lady I would snatch her on the spot without any remorse for leaving this office without a front desk employee. Anyway, Dr Lee was very polite and attentive with my examination and x-rays and once she had the results she made a plan for the things that needed to be done. She wasn't like other dentists that are hungry to up-sell stuff that is not needed and do not care about the patient's welfare. I am thrilled to have found this office and for the first time in my life I am looking forward to coming back to see a dentist. read more

The best dentist I've ever had. I've had a handful of decent dentists in my lifetime but Dr. Lee stands out. She and her assistant are very personable and actually make me look forward to going to the dentist. Wish I could give her more than just the 5 stars yelp limits me to. read more

I had a really good experience with Dr Lee and will definitely be back. Both her and her assistant are awesome and worked around my busy schedule. I was happy to hear they don't double book so I was seen as soon as I got there. I first had a teeth cleaning which went great. I then had 6 filling on two different days. Dr Lee did an amazing job! read more

I am very thankful and thrilled to get to know Dr. Jennifer Lee and June (Dr. Lee's hardworking office assistant) for the first time in December last year. I was looking for a dentist with tender loving heart for my mother who has Alzheimer's and a broken tooth. I live in Fresno, CA, so this is a quite adventure for me to look for an ideal "dream" dentist strictly by telecommunication. June answered the phone when I called. I told her exactly what my wish was. She was bold enough to tell me that this is the right place where TLC (tender loving care) is most definitely provided in Dr. Lee's office. I felt so blessed at that moment. June also kindly displayed her empathy and understanding on my mother's needs (especially my request for an early office visit). Later my sister brought my mother to see Dr. Lee for the first visit. Due to the difficulty of asking my mother to follow command, it was astonishing how June went ahead to hold the x-ray film in my mother's mouth without the hesitation of getting radiation exposure. Furthermore, Dr. Lee did a thorough examination, made treatment recommendation and referral with professionalism. She is easy to be reached when questions arise and her office is very "patient-centered". I would give Dr. Lee and June an A++++ for their services to my mother and would highly recommend anyone who is scared of seeing a dentist, definitely choosing Dr. Lee as your very own dentist forever. read more
