Top notch dental care all around for me and my family. Dr. Yu takes the time to explain every detail to his clients and truly is passionate about dental care and services. Their office staff is committed to the highest level of responsiveness and customer service. They get that we have busy schedules and proactively calls to ensure we are confirmed and ready for our appointments. The text reminders are a nice touch as well. I definitely recommend going here if you need a dentist. read more

This is the 4 th post for my dentist Dr. Yu. I have been in California for more than 44 years, Dr. Yu is the best dentist I have ever met. He is very professional and knowledgeable,provides loving care to all his patients.He had saved my other tooth #,to be free from tooth extraction and tooth implant. His office is better equipped with a CT scan machine with minimum charge,staff members are very friendly and helpful, although the office is out of the network of Delta dental,they still accept Delta ppo patients with reasonable charge. I strongly recommend Dr Yu to be your dentist read more

Dr Yu and his staff has always been very professional and friendly. I've had bad experiences in the past with a different dentist who I felt like was just finding a way to maximize my annual allowance from my health insurance. This is not the case with Dr Yu, you will genuinely feel like they care about your teeth and won't force you to get unnecessary treatments. read more

Excuses my bad English but, all I have to say is Dr. Yu is the best dentist in town. The staff is professional, warmth and helpful. Would recommend anyone who's looking for a good dentist with a gentle hands. I recently had my implant tooth placed vs. bridge. Didn't regret my decision at all. read more

If you're reading this review, with some level of reluctance... search no more . The staff will do everything to welcome and reassure that you've made the right choice in choosing this Dentist. I first want to start by expressing how immaculate the office is and how pleasant each member of their staff welcome you in. It's serene and has a relaxing feel once you're waiting your turn. I met Dr. Yu the day I went for my consultation and everything I read about him was spot on. He's very soft spoken and respects your concern and thoughts , he also demonstrated great knowledge and confidently communicated information without making you feel lost. I have some high level of fear going to the dentist and just that most distinguishing dental office smell triggers my fear (Random add , but it really doesn't even smell like a dentist's office). I've been in contact prior to my appointment with Cindy , floor Manager, who has reassured how I need not worry of anything. Before my appointment , she was very thorough with explanations as to what to expect with my upcoming procedure. She continued to keep in touch until the day of my appointment. She was very relentless. Because of my extreme fear, I asked if it was possible to be prescribed something that would help calm my nerves and once again, they were very accommodating. On the day of , I honestly have no recollection of any form of pain nor fear. After one week , I came in for a follow up. Dr. Yu and I discussed how I was healing properly. I later went into Cindy's office where she not only shared her knowledge , but also allowed me to completely understand the importance of continued maintenance with recommendations . It's been 2 weeks since my oral surgery and I couldnt have had a greater experience ! I want to express my deep gratitude to Dr YU , to Cindy, and the entire Staff for being genuinely accommodating , professional , and just being there for patients like me :) If I could give a '10' rating, I would ! read more

I never thought I would ever be excited to go to the dentist!! I've been seeing Dr. Yu and his team since 2018 and I've fallen in love with the dentist staff. They are so kind and considerate, yet so professional at the same time. I have never seen a team that works so well with each other and others! I see Dr. Le every time and she's like my every-6-months mom! She is the absolute best. I don't even feel like I'm at the dentist when I go visit them, which is great because dentists used to scare me! Dr. Yu is also the sweetest dentist ever. During COVID-19, their technology advanced so amazingly. They added all sorts of new equipment to open up and keep it safe. They even made sure to call me and reschedule my appointments once their office opened up again! I usually get calls from Sonia and I love her! If you're searching for a dentist, GO SEE DR. YU AND HIS TEAM! If you already go to Dr. Yu and you're reading this, I'm sure you can agree with everything I'm saying. :D read more

Although I hate going to the dentist, I enjoy my experience at Dr. Yu's office each time I go. Everyone is really nice and Dr. Yu really takes the time with each of his clients. I know I am in safe hands when I'm there. Highly recommend Optimum Dental. read more

I've been going to Dr. Yu for sometime now. His skills are amazing. He's done a bone graft for me as well an implant plus braces and routine dental care. It's great to get everything done in one place. His staff is exceedingly nice and caring. Office is clean and bright. I am comfortable recommending Dr. Yu to my friends and family and highly recommend him for anyone looking for a fantastic dentist office. read more

Peter K Yu, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

Dr. Yu is a fantastic doctor who always goes above and beyond to ensure that his patients feel comfortable! His attention to detail, level of care, and work overall is extremely top notch and stays consistent. I know that in Dr. Yu's hands, my dental health will remain in good shape and I most definitely trust him. He is very gentle and thorough with his work; after studying my teeth through X-rays, a study model, and a complete examination (checking my gum pockets, mobility, gum recession, and more!), Dr. Yu makes sure to consult and explain what issues he thinks may pose a problem to my dental health in the future and what steps I should take next. Regarding COVID, I feel super comfortable coming into the office. Dr. Yu has implemented multiple steps such as temperature checks, HOCl disinfectant sprays/fogger, and hydrogen peroxide/Listerine rinses to ensure reduced transmission of the virus. Moreover, there are also air filters, UVC lights, and an extra-oral suction machine. Everyone else in the office is fantastic as well. They are all very friendly and willing to help you out if you have any questions. I highly recommend this office if you're looking for a practice that prioritizes your health and well-being first! read more

This review is way overdue. Dr. Yu continues to impress me with his professionalism, high-quality of care, and attention to detail. He educates himself on best practices and brings this to his dental office. It is difficult to find a good dentist- one who cares and does an excellent job, much less someone who is a great one like Dr. Yu. Thank you Dr. Yu for taking care of me and keeping my teeth looking their best. I appreciate how you listen and answer my questions. The staff are also kind and accommodating, with the same high standards. read more

I've been here for over 15 years and can only say good things about this office. The staff is exceptionally friendly and are very informative! Dr. Yu has always taken care of my teeth with extreme care. I always feel so relaxed and comfortable when coming into the office for a procedure. Regarding COVID - I felt very safe when coming into the office. They check your temperature, spray your shoes, and mist your clothes. I also had to rinse my mouth before being seated. There are also new instruments to reduce the spread of any germs. All the staff are always in quality PPE and take extra precautions to keep everyone safe. read more

Very helpful, told me things that my old dentist didn't even tell me!! Will definitely be coming here in the future, they are very clean, helpful, and genuine. Also they have the AC running so it's very cool in this hot weather. Overall, the experience was very enjoyable. read more

***COVID update: I've gone in twice in June 2020. They've adopted new procedures, as well as new equipment to reduce risk of COVID. As far as I know... - all the vents in the walls have been installed UV light filters (studies have shown that 15 minutes of UV light exposure can inactivate SARS) - every room now has its own fan filtering the air - a Korean suction/vacuum machine that gets placed next to your mouth during messy parts of procedures - before entering: hand sanitizing and shoe spraying - before procedure: wash hands, rinse 2x with provided solution, 1min each. ***Original review: I've been to about 4 or 5 different dentists in my time in the Bay (since 2001), and Optimum Dental Care has been the best! It's just on another level of quality care. Personally, I love that Dr. Yu always makes sure that I know exactly what is going on with my dental health. And with him, it's also always super clear and easy to understand. The facility is super clean. The atmosphere is professional yet comfortable and friendly. Passing you from doctor to hygienist to staff is always seamless, they make sure you're taken care of til the end. Looks like kids also get toys for coming in! Lucky them! P.S. find me another dentist who give numb shots without you even ever feeling them. Go ahead, I'm waiting. The man is so chill yet focused. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yu's for quite some time and after yesterday's visit during Covid-19, I decided a review is way overdue. His dedication to best practices is amazing and his work is beautiful. He truly cares about his patients and as an example, he came in on a Saturday, straight off the tennis court, to replace a temporary crown that had fallen off so I wouldn't have to wait until Monday. (My bad--I'd eaten something not recommended.) Yesterday's visit to Optimum Dental Care was only my third time out into public buildings since I began sheltering in place and I was extremely nervous. The staff quickly put me at ease with their kind attention and because of the safety protocols they've put in place. When you first arrive, you call from outside. They meet you at the door for a temp check, hand sanitizing, and a spray of disinfectant on the soles of your shoes. Then it's a spin in front of the disinfecting fogger. Handwashing and mouth rinse are the final preparations. They've installed multiple filtration systems in each room, plus an "extraoral vacuum suction system" that vacuums particulates expelled from the patient's mouth. All very high tech and reassuring. I can highly recommend Dr. Yu and Optimum Dental Care. read more

I really hate writing this review because Like everyone said, they are very nice. I want this to be a fair review and let others know about my experience so they can make an informed decision. I did see other reviews with my same experience (but for some reason I don't see them anymore? Weird). Since they had so many good reviews I figured they learned from others' negative reviews and had changed their policies. They originally told us that we were covered through our insurance. She said that it may be "a few dollars difference" so don't worry. Awesome. They spent almost 2 hours with each of us, doing all kinds of uncessesary treatments like molds of our mouths etc. I had read previous reviews (now gone) about how people were charged for all these unnecessary extras and again hoped this wasn't the case for us. I gave them the benefit of the doubt. It's been a few months and I have been raving about Dr Yu's office to everyone and then yesterday we get a bill in the mail for over $300. You can imagine the shock. We called them and they kept saying how insurance doesn't tell them how much the procedure will really be. So now it's our responsibility to pay. How is this even ethical? Anyway they just kept justifying--Yada yada yada. Thank God my husband was talking to them as he is very patient. As someone who used to take insurance as a provider, there is always a way to find out the exact amounts beforehand. If I can't find out, I have my patients call themselves so if it's too much they can make an informed decision. Transparency is key. In addition, if there was ever a mistake, I would ALWAYS eat the costs. It's just not fair to the patient. Our last dentist who we had for 10 years has always been upfront and there was an occasion where insurance was wrong and he always said "don't worry about it." Anyway it's too bad because again we really like them as people. To be fair, they did lower the amount from $300 to $250 and then to be extra nice they lowered it to $200. Lol. read more

Dr Yu and his staff consistently provide service beyond my expectations. The usual cleanings and occasional fillings are done meticulously. But the wonderful thing is that all of my dental needs are taken care of right here with a high level expertise and kindness--braces, veneers, crowns and now a dreaded gum graft. All of them were done with precision and involving much less pain than anticipated. I'm so grateful! read more

Super friendly staff. Comfortable relaxing waiting room with coffee, water, snacks. Dr. Yu has made my visits less stressful. He definitely know what he is doing . read more

Customer service was wonderful , the staff are super friendly and explained everything that's they are doing and or will be doing . They answered all the questions I had and any concerns . Plus the front desk girls awesome . They work with you and setting up your next appointment. Will definitely keep going !! read more

Dr. Yu have been my dentist since last year. I was referred to his dental office through a friend and couldn't be happier. Dr. Yu and the staff are very professional and expert. This office has everything you need for your dental health. The office manager and front desk staff are also very friendly, helpful and competent. They bring a smile to my face every time I visit there. read more

I LOVE this dentist!!!! My family and I have been going here for years and they keep getting better. They've inspired me want to become a dental hygienist, after I told Dr. Le, she was so supportive and gave me advice on which schools to apply to. She gave me tips while cleaning my teeth, and techniques she developed over the 25+ years she's been working as a dentist. And after our appt., they gave us red envelopes for the new year!! I highly recommend this dentist office. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Yu now for many years and I have nothing but good things to say. His staff has always been friendly and courteous and they make me feel like family. I also appreciate that everyone in the office attends dental seminars often for continued education on the latest technology available in the field. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a quality dentist at a fair price. Thank you for the great service all of these years! read more

I have my dental cleaning appointment tomorrow Tuesday 3/10, called in last Friday (4 days ago) to cancel my appointment due to the fear of corona virus, but no one answered their phone. I called in again today and was told that they will charge a $50 fee for last minute cancellation. I told the clerk I called in last Friday, and she said Friday wasn't a working day for them, and I'm suppose to call 3 days before my appointment if I wish to cancel, and it's their office policy to charge for last minute cancellation fee. First, it's not my fault that your office is closed on a Friday. Second, I did call 4 days ahead. Third, due to the current situation of corona virus, many schools, companies are closed or offering voluntary work from home policies. I told the clerk the reason I want to cancel my appointment is because of the fear of the corona virus and being out in the public/ clinic/ dental office. She said "then everyone would've wanted to cancel their appointment..." and she said she already spoke to Dr. Yu, and this is their policy. Every company, school, dental offices has their policies, but at this critical time where there are life threatening virus out there, as your patient, I wish to see my doctors/ dentist being considerate and not all about making money but to able to really have the heart to help patients. read more

All the staff there are very nice and bring a smile onto your face when you check in. The staff show's a great customer service to there patients. They are very respectful and funny. The office is well organize and clean. read more

Was recommended to Dr. Yu's office by a family member. I'm impressed with my first impression of this office. It's very modern, everyone gave me a sense of warm feeling. They even offer pillow and blanket with sparkling water, can you believe it?! read more

Peter K Yu, DDS - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

I was super hesitant in visiting any doctor or dental offices due to COVID-19 but Dr. Yu's office made me feel completely safe and comfortable in the environment. Even though I moved two hours away I still made my way back to the office after seeing all the new safety protocols the office has in place. As soon as you approach the office you are asked to have your temperature taken as a precautionary measure and kindly asked of any symptoms you may be experiencing. Once you enter the office you immediately notice all the protocols they have to ensure your safety. From air filters and purifiers around the office to plexiglass surrounding the front desk - this office has thought of it all. Hand sanitizing stations are available throughout the office and everyone is well equipped with PPE. The staff explained to me that each room has 3 filters/purifiers to ensure that the environment is as safe as can be. Hydrogen peroxide + mouth wash mixtures are readily available for use which will help minimize the germ transmission. My visit went quick and smoothly and I would highly recommend Dr. Yu and his office to anyone out there. read more

See all

I have been a patient of Dr.Yu for over a year now. I visit him almost every month for braces. His office is always very clean, well-equipped and welcoming. Dr.Yu is an expert in what he is doing and always willing to spend time to listen, explain and take extra care of my teeth. Also his staffs are friendly and courteous even when it comes to question about insurance or billing. I can't expect anything more than that. Overall, this place is fantastic and I am still very happy. I will definitely recommend this place for anyone who needs a great dentist experience. read more

Dr. Yu and his team go above and beyond to ensure every patient feels safe and secure when entering in their facility. We are in very tense times and most people feel hesitant to instill their trust into someone else to ensure their safety. But, as soon as I walked into Dr. Yu's office, I immediately felt at ease and comfortable. Every precaution was taken. It felt like I was going into a highly classified clean room. This is one of the reasons why I will always recommend Dr. Yu as the best Dentist who truly values his patients to the highest extent. read more

One of my resolutions this year is to take care of myself better. Before coming to Optimum, I always dreaded going to the dentist. Thus, when I walked into Dr. Yu's office, I came in thinking, "let me just get this over with." To my surprise, I was greeted by the front desk staff right away. I believe there's a few of them, but I interacted with Cyndi and Sonia the most. They're super friendly, understanding, patient, and caring. They also have coffee and snacks for us! I've come in for a couple of appointments already and I've got appointments scheduled for the coming months too for various issues with my teeth. Marlena was the one that took all my x-rays, which is the part I remember hating the most because the film hurt so much. Fortunately, the whole x-ray process went smooth because they've gone digital now and Marlena was very gentle. Dr. Le took care of my teeth cleaning since she's the dental hygienist at the office. She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met and I love it when I come in to see her! She'd tell me stories and I wish I could talk to her more but I usually have all these dental tools in my mouth. Thanks to Dr. Le, I'm now flossing and brushing my teeth properly! Lastly, Dr. Yu does everything else. He's extremely detailed and actually studies your teeth. His consultation is so thorough because he'll show you pictures of your teeth, along with what's wrong with it, and/or potential problems. He's definitely knowledgeable and very trustworthy. My dentist appointment anxiety goes away when I'm here because I know I'm in good hands. I wish I could give Optimum over 5 stars for their outstanding service and friendly staff. They even have a referral program so don't forget to ask them about that! read more

Dr. Yu is very thorough & up to date with modern dentistry practices & procedures. Cyndi, his assistant is very personable & is a ninja in the when assisting Dr. Yu & when consulting you about your dental needs & insurance benefits. Would refer. read more

Six years ago I had a terrible pain in one of my teeth and I have seen already 3 dentist about that and none of them found the reason and one of my coworkers recommended Dr Peter Yu so I made an appt and in the 1st visit he found the reason of my pain I was so thankful with him, since then I had have braces,implants deep cleaning and I am so happy and confident because he is the best dentist I had have in my whole life and I continue visiting for any thing I need .

Another great, fun visit to Dr. Yu's office. Cindy is always helpful with my questions and concerns. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. They make you feel very comfortable! read more

Dr. Yu is a master skill craftsman with gentle hands. I was so nervous getting my tooth extracted and implant on a same day of April Fool, but Dr. Yu and Ha(Dental Assisstant) make feel so comfortable throughout the whole procedures, he numbed every area he worked on and I FELT ABSOLUTELY NO PAIN!!! I'm very happy with the results and still in shock of how smooth it all went. I am so thrilled to have you as my dental doctor. Thank you Dr. Yu and Ha! My final conclusion is that I am super impressed with the professionalism high energy and would highly recommend Optimum Dental Care Office! Everyone that works there are very sweet, caring, compassionate, and amazing during every step of the process. Cyndi, Sonia, Ngoc, Marlena, Ha, Dr. Yu, and Dr. Le. So happy I found them on Yelp! read more

I really appreciate how Dr. Yu and his team are so thorough with their examinations and that they explain everything so well to me -- their findings, their proposed course of action, and ultimately, what's best for me. I learned so much about my dental health from Dr. Yu. He's probably the only dentist to take the time to walk me through my x-rays and explain a gameplan made just for me. This is hands-down the best dental experience I have ever had. read more

great dentist. I feel like I have the cleanest teeth after I go there. The dental staff are also great. I have been going there for 2 years now. read more

I have been a patient of Dr Yu since the beginning of his practice in the 80's. Dr Yu is an excellent dentist. He is a perfectionist with a gentle touch. His staff have gelled into a professional, friendly, helpful and customer focused group. Kudos to the addition of Dr Le. I am now retired and live in El Dorado county. I commute to this group. That is how good they are! read more

I've been going to Dr. Yu since before most of the current office staff was born...okay maybe not that long, but certainly a long time! Even though his office is quite a drive for me, it's worth it because Dr. Yu is a dental artist with a very gentle touch. I consider myself a bad-ass (okay, exaggerating about that too...), but visits to the dentist cause me a great deal of anxiety. Dr. Yu has mastered the ability to perform his magic with minimal discomfort. The office staff is very professional and friendly. In particular, Cindy is a ray of sunshine and very helpful in navigating the intricacies of dental insurance billing. read more

Dr. Yu has been my dentist for about 5 years. The office is nicely decorated and it gives a relaxed feeling. Dr. Yu is very caring that he attends to all of my questions about my dental needs and the works needs to be done. Dr. Yu had done a bone graft and implant for me. He explained clearly and answered all my questions throughout the process. I learned a lot about bone grafts from Dr. Yu. Dr. Yu has the state of the art equipment right in the office that he uses to make the crown on the same day visit, and this eliminates the need for a second appointment to come back for the crowning. On my visit for the crowning, it was awesome that Dr. Yu had let me watch when he operated the machine to mold and drill the crown. It was awesome to see how the crown was made. I had my regular teeth cleaning done by Dr. Le. Dr. Le is very gentle that I did not feel any discomfort at all. The staff in front office are professional, nice and friendly. When I am at Dr. Yu's office, I feel like I am at home and not at a dental office. read more

Dr. Yu and his team make dentistry so enjoyable! The office is meticulously clean and the new Covid measures are state of the art. The best part, though is the friendly, knowledgeable and dedicated staff. I have had several procedures and was delighted by the high level of attention to my comfort. Every procedure is clearly explained up front. They do ask you to make a comment to maintaining your dental health to prevent future dental issues. I have never felt more taken care of and safe. They also offer great finance/insurance options. Highly recommend! read more

I have been Dr. Yu's patient since 2013. It is still a blast to go to the dentist when it comes down to Dr. Yu and his team (Kathy, Brenda, Carol, Cyndi)! I have had braces, dental cleaning/exams, and teeth whitening done, which makes my teeth look great. All of them have a great sense of humor (particularly Cyndi, I adore her), are very friendly and took the time to know me. Great customer service all around, so I don't mind paying out of pocket for the treatment I've received. read more

Always a pleasure and great experience at Dr Yu's office. The Staff are awesome... always welcoming. Very positive atmosphere. You can feel that they care for your dental requirements and are they to help you in any way to keep you comfortable during the appointments. My family has been going here for 6 years now... including my 5 and 3yr olds... they love the place. Since when did kids like going to a dentist... My kids are all excited when we tell them they have a dentist appointment. If you want your dental work to be done right this is the place to be... They cover all the basics and advance treatments. read more
