Wonderful! My boyfriend and I started going here for a short time I had a a few cavity fillings with Dr. Tanzil and my boyfriend got a gum graft done with Dr. Chang. They were so personal and did an exceptional job taking care of us. I'm sad we are moving, definitely recommend! Thank you Sandra up front for being so responsive and welcoming. read more

When Dr. Tanzil diagnosed the X-rays, she said I had 2 cavities.  After sharing the X-rays with my stepfather (who runs a practice out of state), both he and his partner both looked and said they found no evidence of cavities.   After I went to his practice for a cleaning, their hygienist also said she saw no evidence of cavities. Per their thoughts, it was mentioned that a lot of dentists (especially younger ones) over diagnose their cavities.  It was also mentioned that the 3D x-ray technology being used at my stepfather's practice helps avoid these kind of mistakes.  All things considered, Dr. Tanzil's office doesn't have this technology, and I would recommend looking for a dentist that does as a first option. Update 5/27/21: They called and asked for a cleaning and I said I'm not coming back. The hygienist tried to call and inquire about this, and talked over me every time I was trying to explain and didn't finish my story. Basically, 2 dentists and another hygienist said they didn't see evidence of cavities, but somehow she could? Once again, Dr. Chang and Tanzil's office doesn't have 3D Xray technology. Don't trust one that doesn't, because they will either 1) make careless mistakes or 2) not make a mistake but just be sleazebags who want to upcharge you for no reason. Please be wary. read more

Excellent Customer Service! I have been having this pain and sensitivity in a tooth for a year now and I have been to 2 different dentists for the same problem. Dr. Lucia Tanzil, DDS fixed it today!!! I am so very grateful. I felt her exam was thorough, honest and very reasonable. read more

My son Miles (6) was complaining of a bad toothache and Dr Tanzil took him in the same day that I called! Not only did she handle him with care she was so comforting and sweet throughout the appt which she got through it quickly for him! I felt like she was family the way she cared for him and even called me this evening to check if he was okay! I highly recommend Dr Tanzil if your kids have fear of the dentist! Thank you Dr Tanzil for your care! We truly appreciate you and your staff! read more

Dr. Chang and his staff are the sweetest people and deserve all the praise! I was having a hard time finding someone who would extract my bottom two wisdom teeth and connected to Dr. Tanzil via Opencare. She'd literally message me during all hours of the day and made sure that my concerns were addressed before referring me to Dr. Chang. Once I actually got there, Anita (If you're reading this, I'm so sorry if this isn't actually your name) readied me for my consultation and made me feel like family. Thank you so much for all of your assistance; I've never had such a pleasant time taking X-rays before. Dr. Chang performed my operation smoothly. He encouraged me throughout the process and went over the time limit just to make sure I was as comfortable as possible. Both he and Sandra, the lovely receptionist, called to check up on me following the operation which I wholly appreciate. Overall, I'd love to come here again even if it's just for a cleaning. If you're nervous about coming to the dentist, come here and you won't regret it. You'll feel the friendly and family-oriented environment as soon as you walk in. read more

I've been going to Dr. Chang for over 15 years. He's a great dentist. Of course, the most major work he's done on me has been 2 fillings. I get my teeth cleaned 3 times a year by the hygienist. Hygiene has been pretty good, but sometimes you may get a temp if regular hygienist isn't there. Dr. Chang is also the Dentist/Orthodontist for my kids. He's done a great job in straightening their teeth. He's been very meticulous, and not their teeth are perfectly straight. Dr. Chang also does implants. I've never had any done but I hear he does a great job. He also does some oral surgery, so he's a very well rounded and experienced dentist. Hopefully he'll been in practice many more years to come. read more

After years of failed attempts at trying to find a dentist who was friendly and didn't overcharge for services, a friend recommended Dr. Tanzil. Dr. Tanzil, Sandra, and the rest of the staff are so warm, friendly, and caring that I will continue to recommend them to everyone I know. read more

Dr. Tanzil is terrible. I had an extraction done by Dr. Chang and everything went fine. He had to leave on vacation and the nightmare began. I came back after 6 days because I was in extreme pain, Dr. Tanzil said everything was fine and sent me on my way. I came back the next day being that I was still in extreme pain, again, left me with no information on what could be the issue. I had the nurse call Dr. Chang on vacation and he prescribed me new antibiotics and pain meds due to my circumstances. Dr. Tanzil then called the pharmacy to cancel my prescriptions. I call her back and she lies, tells me the pharmacy can't fill my prescription when I talked to the pharmacist who said she canceled my prescription. What a terrible feeling to go to a doctor/dentist to get treatment and feel like I'm being prejudiced against when I say I'm feeling extreme pain. read more

I've been coming to Dr. Chang for years with my dental needs. He is very good and his staff are all very friendly and professional. Dr chang usually gives options and provide his recommendation. It is always a good practice to check with your insurance on what will be covered and how much so you can make knowledge decision. read more

Dr. Chang is an excellent dentist. He is one of the best in the World. He is the only dentist that my daughter trust in her mouth (age 5 to now at age 18). I value Dr. Chang's advice and all his knowledge. We love you Dr. Chang. You are #1 in our Book!!!! Paula & Vershara read more

My mom and I both have gone to Dr. Chang for over a decade. The staff is friendly and they have been there since we started going (so it sounds like a pretty good place to work). My hygienist is wonderful. I haven't had to wait when I come in for appointments. Dr. Chang is very good at explaining what he's looking for and what he sees during my exams. They will book my next appointment right there, even though it is 6 months in advance--which is great for me because I'm terrible at calling to make appointments. It's easy to get an appointment at times that are convenient for me, whether it's in the evening after work or early in the morning. They are good about sending reminders via email, text and/or calls, whichever I prefer. Note: I've only come in for routine cleanings; I've never had to have surgery or root canals, so I can't comment on those experiences. read more

My whole family is very happy and satisfied with the services that Dr. Chang and staff provide for us for nearly 30 years now. The cost is very competitive and the technology that they use is up to date. It hurts me when I see negative postings about their office - that's what prompted me to write this review. All these years I never questioned their work practices and services. They treat their patients like a family. read more

Dr Mervyn Chang is the best dentist in the bay-area! I had a great experience at his office, from the moment i called to make an appointment the staff were so nice and made me an appointment right away as a new patient. I had gum lengthening surgery done and i was so afraid but the doctor made it an easy experience for me, he explained every step to me and was very caring and sweet. I definitely recommend this dentist's office. read more

Great diagnostics from the real Exam to perform correct treatments which were differed from other recommendations based on X-ray from an other office. Gentle work and great results, I have no complaints after work being done. read more

Our family members have been seeing Dr Chang for several years. He's honest, skillful and always explains in detail about my dental problems/treatments. His staff members are very friendly, helpful and professional. Finding a dentist in the Bay Area is easy, but finding a honest and skillful one like Dr Chang is not easy. read more

Dr. Chang has been our family dentist for many years, and he is the best! The quality of his work is excellent, and he is kind and gentle, always ensuring our comfort during all procedures. My son has orthodontia with him and everything is going very well. I highly recommend Dr. Chang!! read more

Dr. Chang and his office is amazing and today was my second visit with him. He took care of an abcess problem with precision and ease. I feel completely comfortable under his care. read more

Dr Chang is the best of the best. My family has been seen him for at least 20 years. Although I have moved out of San Jose, I still fly to see him for my teeth. I have very many bad teeth. I had five root Canals, five crowns, two briges and 4 fillings from him. They are still good for 15+ years and had no any side effects after each procedure. read more

Been coming for my cleanings for the past 4 years since moving to San Jose and have enjoyed Dr. Chang and all of the staff. They are wonderful at their job and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes for my appointments. read more

I went to dr.chang when I was in high school in the 70s. My cousin and i both needed braces. When we were done after 3 years he said our teeth were not straight enough and need 2 more years. My mother took me to another orthodontist who checked and said my teeth looked perfectly aligned. When we went back he argued with her and wouldn't take them off so she said she will find a dentist who will. When he did it i ended up with two cracked teeth cause he argued the whole time he tightened the wire and chipped another tooth plus he had it on so long it left two other teeth with indentations. We never referred anyone to him and i was told he had passed away a long time ago. I should have sued him for what he did. I have had many dentists after him that have said he ruined my teeth and have had a few more removed because of his screw up. read more

I have been going to Dr. Chang for about 39 years and have had nothing but great experiences there. The staff is professional and friendly. Dr. Chang is highly skilled and the quality of his work shows through his years of experience & expertise. If you want quality of work, I highly recommend Dr. Chang. read more

Great dentist, really knows his stuff, decades of experience, keeps up with modern dental practices/procedures as they improve, lots of appt reminders, personal connections with patients, recommends against unnecessarily costly dental procedures by offering alternatives. He truly is trying to just fix peoples' teeth, not buy himself a boat! read more

Dr Chang is the best - and his staff members are great too. I have been to many dentists and don't trust anyone else.

I have been Dr. Chang's customer for 50 years! He had just started his practice and I was a child taken by my Mom. He is dedicated to his craft, keeps up with technology, and maintains state-of-the art equipment. He is the only dentist my two adult children have seen (other than when one son was deployed in Iraq). My husband began using him when we married. Both my sons had their orthodontia handled by Dr. Chang--one of the few dentists who does both oral care and orthodontia. My husband had an upper denture "installed" prefaced by removal of his upper teeth--not a simple procedure, done professionally and carefully. I have never had anything go wrong, nor have I ever been steered in a direction I didn't want to go. I respect his skill and character. Once, I was referred by Dr. Chang to a root canal specialist when a nerve was dangerously close to the root and it needed additional care; indicating that he knows when to do the work himself and when to refer. My sons' wisdom teeth were impacted, and they were referred outside Dr. Chang's office. The staff is delightful. Sharina has superb follow-through and patience with scheduling appointments, and Anita handles chairside needs with Dr. Chang. I am sorry, but I don't know the name of the hygienist, but she is very good, calm and reassuring. My mother, sister, and her husband, and her sons see Dr. Chang, too. My sister had an implant, an experience that was frightening to anticipate and undergo, but it went well. I wouldn't hesitate to refer anyone to him. Dental work is expensive, insurance seldom covers enough. I'll never understand why when teeth are just as important as other body parts, but the dentist is not at fault for poor insurance coverage.

I have had multiple procedures done. Posts, root canals, crowns...can't say enough good things about Dr. Chang and his staff. Whole family (wife and 3 kids) and my parents are patients. read more

Are you looking for trustworthy professional dentist to handle your dental care needs? As a client of 43 years, I can say with certainty that you would be hard pressed to find a superior dentist to Dr Chang. read more

if you go to this office (i do not recommend to go here) and have any service which expect to cost around $1000 or more. Remember to ask for pre-estimate cost. They just keep telling you to come then send you huge bill. They kept calling me to come in. But as soon as i ask for pre-estimate cost, the send me away. crooked. read more

I am a patient since 2 years based on a very strong recommendation from a friend who he and his family are very long time patients of Dr. Chang. I think my friend's recommendation did not do justice to the level of professionalism Dr. Change and his office provide to patients. I would never want to go elsewhere. read more

Do not go to Dr. Mervyn Chang. I had an infected tooth in March and I asked him to pull and he convinced me to do a root canal. The root canal was infected again within a month. He kept trying to get me to get an implant which I can't afford. "We have financing" he told over and over again! Went to another dentist to have the tooth removed. The certified oral surgeon there told me the tooth should have been pulled to begin with. I submitted a claim with my insurance company against Dr.Chang and they found that the root canal should not have been done on that tooth and that he should refund a partial amount of the total cost of the root canal. I have not heard anything from him and really don't expect too. He is to arrogant to admit he made a mistake! Thanks for using up all my dental insurance Dr.Chang! I had to pay out of pocket to right his wrong! read more

I went to Dr. Chang for an implant. I had never been to him before and was a bit apprehensive because he does so many things in dentistry. Boy was I pleasantly relieved when I found out how professional and knowledgeable he was when it came to implants. He has a Diplomate from International Congress of Oral and Implantology and it shows. Dr. Chang is very caring and takes the time to go over every procedure he is about to do. Some dentist that specialize in implants charge exorbitant amounts of money. Though implants are not cheap, Dr. Chang's charges are fair in comparison. If you are looking to have an implant (or any other dental work for that matter), look no further. You won't be disappointed! read more

I just had gum surgery and Dr Chang has been a blessing. He was extremely professional and my surgery went perfectly. He definitely knows his stuff. I would highly recommend Dr. Chang to be seen for all dental procedures. read more

When I got too old for my pediatric dentist, I asked him for a recommendation for an adult dentist. He gave me the name of his dentist - Dr. Chang. What better way to find a dentist? Dr. Chang did not disappoint. Staff is always courteous. Dr. Chang is very professional and I trust him. My father and brother also started going to Dr. Chang. My whole life, my father has hated every dentist he's been to, but he LOVES Dr. Chang. After a few years of seeing Dr. Chang, I moved away. When I returned to the area, I did not have dental insurance. Then, after 5 years with no dental insurance, I got a plan that would not cover Dr. Chang. I found a new dentist. I have good teeth, and generally all I'm getting are cleanings, so I figured it was worth saving some money with the cheaper plan. However, every time my father or brother mentioned Dr. Chang, I was jealous. My new dentist was always trying to up sell my husband and me on treatments that didn't seem necessary and the billing was always wrong. Finally, when open season came around last year, I switched to Aetna dental insurance because Dr. Chang is in-network. I had my cleaning and check-up yesterday, and it was great! My teeth felt cleaner than they have in years, even though my old dentist was charging me for "deep cleanings", and I finally feel like my teeth are in good hands again. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Chang's since moving to the Bay Area in 1992. Let me preface this by saying that my teeth were not cared for properly as a child, so, as a result, I had alot of ongoing dental problems as a adult. Dr. Chang has performed root canals, fillings, a dental implant and I even had my teeth whitened through his office. He is caring and down to earth. He even came to my home on a Friday night when I thought something was wrong with one of my teeth and examined my mouth with a flashlight! His advice to purchase an OralB electric toothbrush when they first came out saved my gums. His office manager is professional, friendly and detail-oriented. If you need/are planning on having a dental procedure performed, she will help you figure out the most cost-effective way that works with your insurance plan. His dental hygienists are awesome! I have my teeth cleaned 3 times per year and I highly recommend them. Their office building has plenty of parking and is centrally located near Moorpark/Bascom. read more

The service and the expertise was incredible. They were so professional and took their time. I didn't feel like the work was being rushed. Usually after cleanings and x-rays, my son and my mouth are a little sore. After going here, we were not at all sore, which was awesome. I highly recommend this place to get your dental work done. read more
