I'm so thankful I found Dr. Yu and his staff. My usual dentist unfortunately is sold his practice a couple of years ago. Since I had already been going that that dental office since I was in middle school, I decided to continue going to that office after my dentist had left. GAH, worst mistake ever!! I had a few fillings that needed to be done and I must say hands down that's been the worst experience I've ever had at the dentist (and I enjoy going to the dentist). My experience was sooooooooooooooo bad that I completely stopped going to the dentist all together. That was it, I was done. I refused to give any other dentist a chance as I've already given two dentists, in the same office might I add, a chance and in the end both were not effective. That was more than enough for me to call it quits. Despite my efforts of keeping further cavities from developing, about a year and a half had gone by when I started to notice increasing pain while eating or when drinking something cold. I had dreaded this day... the day when I really needed to find a new dentist. I had heard of Dr. Yu from a friend shortly after leaving the previous dental office but had put off seeing him because I was THAT traumatized. However the pain was getting worse so after much research and deliberating, I decided that I would give Dr. Yu a try. Annnnnnnnnd I'm sooo glad I did. The front office staff - Sonia, Alice and Cyndi - had be so warm and inviting from the moment I entered the office until I left the office. They're also very knowledgable too! The dental assistant - Marlena - also very kind and knowledgeable. (There's also a guy but I didn't have too much interaction with him) Dr. Le - She did gave me lots of feedback on how I did with my oral hygiene as she was cleaning my teeth. She also gave me very useful tips to maintain that fresh feeling all the time at home. She was very warm and a pleasure to talk to. Dr. Yu - He is quite knowledgable and very, very thorough. I've never had someone do as much research and data collection about my mouth as I've seen Dr. Yu do. During my consultation, he was patient with me, taking time to listen to my concerns. He discussed his findings and observations of my teeth and gums with me in detail ensuring that I understood what he was saying. Dr. Yu allowed me to participate in my plan of care (where the other dentist didn't) which I really appreciate. It's a great feeling to know that I've finally found a dentist that I can trust once again. read more

Dr.Yu and Dr. Le are very knowledgeable and very nice. they're taking care all of my teeth really great. And thanks for all the staff for being such a great team i've never feel bored or uncomfortable to be there. read more

Dr. Peter Yu and his crew have been taking care of our family's dental needs for many years. Their staff has recently gone through some changes and growing pains are showing, but they're constantly striving to do their best at serving our dental needs. Dr. Peter Yu himself has done a great job at being attentive to my own needs. There was an occasion where I needed him after hours. I called his after hours line and left a message. He called me back within 10 minutes even though he was at a family function. He wanted to make sure I followed up with the correct next steps. Then he scheduled an appointment for me on a day they weren't open. Dr. Yu has gone above and beyond what is expected from a dentist. As a bonus, Dr. Yu's team has gone through great lengths to make me feel comfortable and include me in their dental family through conversations, refreshments, snacks, and cultural celebrations. read more

So glad I found Dr. Yu! I've been going to his office for treatment for over a year. Dr. Yu is passionate about his work, which is evident in how he takes care of his patients. He is thorough in explaining issues and makes effective recommendations. He takes the time to listen and understand concerns to come up with the best possible solution. Most important, he is gentle, makes sure that you're comfortable during procedures, and comes through in resolving issues. The entire staff, to include the front office, dental assistants and hygienists are all very kind and professional. The office is very clean and equipped with Air Purifiers, UV light panels and a HCO steam machine (shown below) to help kill bacteria and reduce the risk of Covid. As mentioned in other posts, Dr. Yu has gone to the extent of adopting heightened safety protocols to keep his staff and his patients as safe as possible especially during these difficult times. read more

Peter Yu, DDS - Thanks for the treats after my visit! - General Dentistry Near Me - Milpitas, California

I've been through a few dentists since arriving in the Bay. Dr. Yu is great. He's knowledgeable and transparent with his recommendations. He doesn't make a claim that some work is needed without first offering to show you how he came to his conclusion. He is very thorough and the office has a small town feel to it. It's a place where everyone is friendly and always willing to engage in conversation which helps ease the anxiety of being in the dentist's office. He has an extremely friendly staff that is very accommodating and willing to try to work with your schedule. read more

I've been coming here for more than 10 years. Dr. Yu is an amazing dentist who has done a lot of work on my teeth from cavities to braces. I'm pretty terrified of the dentist, but the the new staff here always makes me super comfortable and they are so friendly and easy to talk to. I recommend Dr. Yu's office to all my friends. read more

I've been with Dr. Yu for past 15 years and always refer him to all my family and friend. His staff is great and the office is very nice. Our entire family has gone through all dental procedures with his office and have only great things to say. I would highly recommended him for your dental and orthodontist needs! read more

I have been going to Dr. Yu for over 15 years now. He is the absolute best! Today he extracted four teeth for orthodontic reasons and it was so easy! He really cares about his patients and always asks how you're feeling as he's working on you to make sure you are comfortable. I trust him not only with my teeth, but also my family's. We live in south San Jose and decided to try a dentist a little closer to us, since he is in Milpitas and it is a little drive. We each had one cleaning and decided to go back to Dr. Yu. He and his staff are wonderful. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a phenomenal dentist! read more

The location is a bit difficult to find. It is in the Montague professional center. However, stellar service. Nice people with professional service. Will be back very soon. :) read more

Dr. Yu has been my dentist for over 20 years and I can't emphasize enough how satisfied I am with him and his staff. He is extremely particular with his work and puts patient satisfaction first. I would highly recommend him if your looking for a caring and gentle dentist. read more

Dr. Yu & Dr. Le are a great pair of dentist. During my visit they helped to make me feel comfortable when I was scared to death about getting my teeth cleaned & fillings put in. The whole time I was nervous about getting numbed because I hate needles, but before I new it they were done. Dr. Le even spoke Vietnamese, which I appreciated because my English is not the best. read more

I came to Dr. Yu's office when I was experiencing severe pain due to an infected wisdom tooth while up in the San Jose area for work. Not only did the staff and Dr. Yu fit me into their already full schedule the same day that I called, they were also very caring, informative, and helpful throughout my whole visit. I am so thankful that Dr. Yu could fit me into his busy schedule and still provide some of the best dental care I have received. He was very gentle and made sure I was comfortable at all times while performing the procedure of removing fluid from the infected wisdom tooth. The dental hygienist assisted me within 10 minutes of my arrival and immediately took X rays for Dr. Yu who saw me 10 short minutes later despite the fact that I was fit in between patients on very short notice. The front staff was very helpful in explaining my insurance benefits and what would be covered. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially being out of town and away from my primary dentist. If I was living in this area I would be sure to make Dr. Yu my dentist. Thank you! read more

it's really 4.5 stars. why? cost factor. but that's only cause i'm poor :( but even though i am poor, dr. peter yu and his staff is so worth it! it's really difficult to find a dental office that provides the care you might like for your teeth. this one does! really! that's why even though i moved to LA for a year, i still drove 6 hours on I-5 just to come back for my checkups. i'll edit this review with more details soon :) ps. they moved btw. they are now located: 995 Montague Exp., #220 Milpitas, Ca 95035 read more

Our family has known Dr. Peter Yu for over 30 years. He has taken care of all of our children and now he is seeing our grandchildren.

We love Dr. Yu and his staff, they are all very kind. Dr. Yu takes the time to personally discuss activities with you each visit. Also he's the most high-tech dentist I've ever been too. read more

Never being this joyful at a dentist's office! I had a couple of dental questions and would like to obtain a second opinion. I was referred to Dr. Yu by my friend. Dr. Yu did a thorough exam and took ex-rays of all my teeth and discovered that one of my teeth actually had a really bad infection and required immediate care. He took me back after two days on a Friday to take care of my tooth problem, which was outside of his normal working hours. Dr. Yu went through the steps with me and provided me with a mirror to look at it myself at the process. The work was done smoothly and without any pain. Cyndi, Alice and Sonia at the front desk are always very friendly and helpful. They make you feel comfortable and relaxed all the time. I have been laughing a lot when talking to them, not to mention that they offer you all kinds of drinks (wine is coming?) and movies! Highly recommended if you are looking for a new dentist! read more

Dr. Peter Yu dental office is definitely a good one to go for, and doctor Yu has a peaceful, sincerely, humorous personalities, the most important, his techniques of treating patients are great. If you are currently finding a dentist, I would recommend you dr.Yu office.. read more

I only have great things to say about Dr. Yu and his amazing team. The team not only provides excellent customer service and care for their patients, but they're also so organized and on top of their game. Dr. Yu made me my night guard and you can definitely tell that he put in a lot of time and effort to make it perfect, just for me. During the process of making the night guard, he consistently kept checking with me to make sure everything fit comfortably and that the bite was accurate. I also come here for my regular 6 months teeth cleanings and I usually see Carol and she never fails to impress me. She does a fantastic job with making sure my teeth are white and sparkly by the end of my visit. At my last visit, I had my teeth cleaned by Dr. Le and she is equally just as skilled and amazing as Carol! Both are very meticulous and makes sure to get to every nook and cranny to make sure you're satisfied with your teeth cleaning. If you're looking for a new dentist in the Milpitas/ San Jose area, this is the perfect place for you!!! read more

Dr. Yu a definite 5! BUT reworking of the staff (ugh) Kathy and Brenda who were super professional and experienced with clients....are no longer a part of the family there. So sad. read more

I would highly recommend this dentist. His office staff is absolutely top notch! Much of his staff has been with him - well as long as I have been going to him (1995) - they are friendly-outgoing and actually recognize you when you walk in the door.Dr. Yu is is one of the most up-to-date dentist' you will find. He loves what he does. He takes pride in his work, he's precise. I've had a couple of crowns and the bits are perfect. You will go to no other dentist after seeing this one! read more

Pays attention to the small details. A true artisan. Low power digital x-rays. The best materials. There when needed. Very friendly staff. A client for many many years. read more

I highly recommend Optimum Dental. Dr. Yu and his staff are very knowledgeable and really take their time to explain any procedure. Dr. Yu is a perfectionist, and it shows in the quality of his work. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Yu for more than 10 years and I will be his patient until he retires. He is an excellent dentist all around -- his knowledge, his skills and experience, his attention to details, his enthusiasms toward dentistry (he will explain/educate you with your concerns and questions), his continued education (both to learn and to teach) so he is on top of most current dentistry innovations/technology, his great customer service, and his friendly and helpful staff. Most of all, he really cares about you and is tireless in perfecting his work on you. I consider myself a picky and hard to please patient/customer but I have to say that I am completely satisfied with Dr. Yu. I recently had 2 crowns done by him and he took care any problem or concern I had. I am such a perfectionist and won't settle until everything feels exactly right. I am always welcomed by him to his office even I think of myself "oh you are such a pest to keep going back and asking him to do such minor adjustment". Not once he seems inpatient with my requests. He has a very positive and customer oriented attitude. Thank you Dr. Yu and keep up all the good work!! Even you are relatively still young but I want to tell you don't you ever think of retiring ok?! :-) read more

I have been going to Dr. Yu for 7 years. I was first referred to him by my orthodontist for a dental implant. I was overwhelming impressed with results of my implant as well as the overall office experience, passion and knowledge the whole team has. I continued to work with Dr. Yu for my second set of braces, a gum transplant, and regular check ups. Their office hours are somewhat limited but it's a small price to pay for overall great oral care. Everyone in the office has played a major role in building confidence in the smile I have today. read more

Dr Yu is the best. His knowledge and his equipment, and his care for his patients are all top of the line. Carol is the nicest dental hygienist. She is so very attentive to all details. I have been there for over 10 years, and have had cleaning, crowns, implants done. My whole family goes there. read more

I was first referred to Optimum Dental Care by a friend. This has to be the BEST recommendation I have ever received. I cannot say one thing bad about this office. The staff are all extremely friendly and treat me more as a friend than a customer. Dr. Yu is a very knowledgable professional. He keeps himself up to date with the latest technology and techniques for the most effective treatment. I gladly recommend Optimum Dental Care to my friends, family as well as anyone here on Yelp. Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed. read more

I have been going to Dr. Yu's office for over 10 years and I've never had poor costumer service. They've always done great work and have a great staff. If anyone needs a dental team I would highly recommend them. read more

Have been going there since the mid-90s based on a coworker's referral. Since then I referred many family members and friends. Dr. Yu is professional, efficient and kind, possess great ethics and intercultural honesty; his hygienist gentle and thorough, his office staff polite and gets the job done, deals with insurance efficiently, and his facility clean and up-to-date. Most importantly, I know I can trust his professional judgment. (There are just too many dentists out there who try to get one do unnecessary work.) read more

Dr. Yu has been my primary dentist since I was in elementary school, which means my family and extended family have been with Dr. Yu for about 10+ years. Dr. Yu and his staff have seen me grow through acne, braces, bad identity choices, college decisions, significant life events, etc. It almost feels wrong to write a review at this point because they feel like family. But the reason why I'm writing this review, and why they so rightfully deserve this million-star review is because I didn't realize how absolutely amazing Dr. Yu and his team were until I had to go somewhere else. I graduated this past year, landed my first job, and turned 23, all of which made me ineligible for my parent's health insurance. On my last annual clean-up with Dr. Yu, we discovered that I had a large cavity that required a root canal. Yikes. My new health insurance made it too expensive for me to continue going to Dr. Yu, so I went and found a dentist in San Francisco in my plan. The stark difference between my new dentist and Dr. Yu highlighted the absolute professionalism and experience of Dr. Yu's team - Carol, Tiffany, Brenda, Carol, and all - from handling my appointment, insurance, to the attention to detail and perfectionism in the actual cleanings and dental procedures. Dr. Yu also takes the time to walk you through all your questions and is great at articulating all the options, and makes you feel comfortable with the options you choose. My new dentist makes me feel like I'm going to the mechanic. Even after I was no longer his patient, he was generous enough to check in on my root canal - I was nervous that the other dentist did a shoddy job and that I had an infection - for free. That's the definition of great service. All my life, I've declared numerous times that I was never succumbing to the standards of our patriarchal culture, and, therefore, was never getting married (sorry Mom). But, Internet friends, I finally found a reason to get hitched: dual health insurance. read more

I am still in love with Dr.Yu and his staffs! Not only that they met, but far beyond surpass my expectation. Everyone is your friend and welcome you at the moment you step into the office. You know what to expect at each visit before and after! Are you talking about cosmetic dentitry? This is the place my friend!

Optimum Dental Care is such a great place. The staff is great! Brenda, Kathy, Carol, Tiffany, and Kris are very professional and wonderful to all patients/clients. You never have to wait, always on time! I've been a patient here for over 5 years and they are wonderful! I recently got a veneer there and it looks beautiful! Can't even tell the difference between the real teeth and the veneer, the color is perfect! Dr. Yu takes his time with his patients and is very thorough. If you are looking for a dental office that treats the patients wonderfully and does a great job with each procedure/case, I would definitely recommend this place! read more
