It's hard to find a good dentist. We really like Dr. Steve and Dr. Connie. I have my work done with Dr. Connie, and she is really good. I have an extreme gag reflex that often interferes with routine X-rays as well as some procedures. She stays patient, works with me, and finds ways to get the work done. Sometimes she will allow me to sit upright more, even though it makes her access to my mouth more challenging and forces her to stand instead of sit. I often need to have the suction placed differently to avoid the back of my tongue, but she still patiently tries to accommodate me, sometimes waiting until my gag reflex attack subsides a bit. The office also works with us with our dental insurance and tries to make things as easy for us as possible, even though the dental insurance companies are always trying to make things harder for patients and providers. read more

Have gone to Dr. Steve and Dr. Connie for three cleanings + one cavity filling. Would recommend them. They are meticulous with cleaning, yet minimize pain/discomfort with the gums. Dr. Connie discovered the cause of my tooth pain that two other dentists in the past few years never found: partially chipped filling. Ever since it was filled, I've been able to chew without pain. Really appreciate that she found it. read more

Seeing a dentist sounds scary enough to me that I didn't even dare to walk in a dentist office until I knew Dr. Chen. I had three cavities, which were serious enough that swept my fear away and pushed me to see him. It turned out all of my worries were unnecessary at all, he and his daughters are so nice and had comforted me throughout the entire procedure while I was there. Didn't feel pain at all during/after the procedure. Highly recommend them! read more

Dr. Annie Chen is such a wonderful Dentist that even though I have moved 40 mins away from Santa Clara I will brave bay area traffic to come here. read more

Dr. Chen is not only the best dentist we've ever had, but is one of the kindest persons we've ever met. He is not only knowledgeable and an expert in his field, but always takes the time to explain everything before he performs any type of procedure, even if it's only a simple cleaning. We never encountered any other dentist that we were truly happy with when we moved to the Bay Area until we met Dr. Chen and now really look forward to our appointments just to get the chance to talk to him. He is so personable and kind and it is truly an honor not only to call him our dentist, but our dear friend. Thank you Dr. Chen (and Anna too) for your kindness and care. We're so happy we found you. Sincerely, M and M Bell read more

This is a great practice! I had a hiccup with my bill and while it could have been such a traumatizing experience the team helped me understand and kept full transparency. Not to mention my teeth and fillings were well done! read more

I have been visiting Dr. Connie Chen, one of Dr. Steve Chen's daughters for more than 3 years. I have calvity issues and used to be scared to go to dentists' :) It feels so good to find someone who is nice and trustworthy to take care of you. It's not just their skills are great, but also they are super nice and optimistic that makes you relax. I love the sky and flower scene they put on the ceiling, where you can stare at when going through the procedure. Ana, the receptionist, is very friendly and considerate too. I will recommend this place to all my friends. read more

Dr. Steve Chen is the best dentist I've ever seen!! I hate going to the dentist, I mean, who does? All these childhood dental nightmare haunted me until I found Dr. Chen. He's so so so personal and gentle; I needed to have 3 big cavities filled and i was about to panic as the drilling sound started. But Dr. Chen kept telling me funny jokes the whole time so that i wasn't even aware the fillings were all done. Ask for Dr. Steve, and you won't dread going to the dentist anymore. read more

He is simply the best, most honest and humble doctor I have experienced. I have been mis-guided by many other doctors in areas where I have moved over past few years, and I always end up coming back to Steve! read more

highly recommended! I had provided professional services by Dr Chen. Dr Annie. and Anna with full of happiness. Thank you so much!

I would like to begin this review with, DR. STEVE CHEN IS AWESOME!! After a horrible experience with my previous dentist (Dr. Christine Lee - see my Yelp review on her), I decided it was time to search for another dentist who I could trust. Luckily, I found Dr. Steve Chen. I started with Dr. Steve Chen when he was at his prior location on Scott Boulevard. He has now moved over to Homestead Road. The new office is completely brand new with the most high end technology for all your dental needs. Dr. Steve Chen is a very intelligent (Ivy Leaguer) and kind dentist who loves what he does. He always has a smile on his face and he's very talkative, which is GREAT since he puts you at ease. Dr. Steven Chen is HONEST, which is difficult to find in a dentist. He will try to limit the amount of money that comes out of your pocket. If there is dental work that is necessary, he will let you know and give you your options. If you do require dental work, his kind assistant will tell you how much you will have to spend "out of pocket" and there will be no surprises. Let's talk about his work. His dental work is amazing. He removed all my silver fillings and replaced them with ceramic ones and my teeth are now beautiful! He is gentle and very aware of any pain that I feel. I have never dreaded visiting Dr. Steve Chen for any dental work as I always knew that he would take care of me. I highly recommend Dr. Steve Chen for all your dentistry needs. He is great with children, teenagers and adults. Once you go to Dr. Steve Chen, you will never look for another dentist again. read more

This is a review for Dr. Annie Chen, one of Dr. Steve Chen's daughters. Like many others, I've never been one who looks forward to having my teeth cleaned. But Dr. Chen was so personable when I last saw her, I truly felt like I wasn't at a dentist's office at all! She's friendly, she loves good country music, and she genuinely seems to enjoy her work. If you've been looking for high-quality dental work and a great supporting staff, you can rest easy because your search is finally over -- this is it. read more

Dr. Chen is one of my favorite people in the world, hands-down. I've simply never met anyone as cheerful and affable as he is. I'm not a fan of having foreign objects poked around in my mouth, yet I'm always really excited for my dental appointments, because Dr. Chen is such a delightful person. He is also extremely gentle and sensitive; I recently got my wisdom teeth extracted, and he constantly reassured me and asked me if everything was ok and if I was in pain or discomfort. The procedure went extremely well, and it only took 5 minutes to take out the stitches a week later, because he was very smart about the way stitched my gums up in the first place. All in all, I couldn't ask for a better dentist! read more

Been getting my teeth cleaned here for years and decided it was time to give them a shoutout. Everyone here from the receptionist and assistant to the dentists are very friendly and calming, perfect for delivering dental care in a way that makes their patients comfortable. All their staff are fully vaccinated for COVID and they definitely take their COVID protocols seriously. I appreciate that they uphold the highest standards for themselves, it shows in how they conduct their business. Will be coming here for years to come! read more

Dr. Chin is awesome! He's a very nice man, he makes me laugh every time I go in for a cleaning. Which is important, because I hate getting my teeth cleaned and he makes me feel very relaxed and at ease. I should also mention that he does all of the work personally, you're not going to get stuck with a hygienist fresh out of school picking away at your teeth. Oh, and best of all? There's never a wait and the price is always reasonable! read more

Dr. Chen is the best dentist I've known. He's very experienced and have decades and decades of experiences. Very comforting and kind person. I had my wisdom teeth bothering me for years but I haven't had the courage to pull it out, Dr. Chen educated me about the consequences and took out the wisdom teeth with only local anesthesia. It left very small wounds and I only took some over the counter pain killer to manage the pain. In contrast my husband (and some of my friends) went to a dental surgeon and got put down during the extraction, have to take Vicodin to manage the pain from tissue damage. Mine's performed one side of the mouth at a time, so I can still eat after each procedure. I'm glad I didn't have to go through a lot of pain thanks to Dr. Chen. read more

Dr. Chen is very genuine. He is not pushy and will not try to get you to do any unnecessary procedures for money. He is very thorough in his explanation, whether to answer your questions, or for any procedures. His treatment plans are conservative; he will try to save your tooth as much as possible and do the least invasive procedures necessary. He cares about the patient as a person, not just as a name in a stack of files. Personality aside, he has sure, steady hands. He is the only dentist I've seen my entire life, and I completely trust him! read more

Best dentist ever. Just don't tell me jokes while my mouth is wide open and can't talk. lol

I really like here. I was my first time here. I changed my dentist since my last one is not so good. Both the doctor and the receptionist lady are super friendly and helpful. The doctor tried to understand my last teeth experience and provide useful suggestions. I have already made my next appointment. I would for sure suggest this place to my friends who need a new dentist! read more

Dr. Chen is, in fact, awesome. * He's the first dentist I've been to where the dentist actually cleans your teeth. * I've always had issues with my gums, Dr. Chen is the first dentist not to immediately tell me to get a deep cleaning on the first visit. Instead, he gave me some homework, and he'll check back in with my gums in 6 months. * He is very friendly, he really does put you at ease. * He is the first dentist who took some time to interact with me as a person before the appointment. I was a bit late, but we talked for about 5 minutes before he started working, and continued to talk through most of the appointment. Most places, you see the dentist for 5 minutes only at the end of the appointment. If you're looking for a new dentist, go see Dr. Chen! FYI, There are about 5 parking spots behind the office. read more

Dr. Chen is very personable. He is thorough in his work and does all work by himself as pointed out by other reviewers. Dr. Chen has more than 30 years of experience. He does not use any of the marketing techniques as used by other dentists. The last thing he spends on is the marketing. Which is probably one of the reasons he can be honest with you and does not charge you for any unnecessary treatments. He will also give good health advice while working on your teeth which is a bonus!! read more

It is hard to find a good dentist! Each time that I have visited Dr. Chen he put me at ease with his positive and cheerful attitude, his clear communication about his procedures, and his professional ability puts me ease, knowing that he has good skills and will make me comfortable. Also, his assistant Anna is a warm and friendly person who, like Dr. Chen, cares about you and made me feel like a family member, not just a patient. Recently, I had to undergo a root canal treatment and was very uptight about the pain I expected. I was pleasantly surprised that it was not as bad as I thought, largely because Dr. Chen explained fully what the problem was, how he would fix it and helped me relax during the procedure. A few days before the procedure, I had severe pain due to infection. I was able to reach Dr. Chen on short notice before a major holiday who prescribed the medication needed to clear the infection that also eliminated the pain. You won't go wrong if you select Dr. Chen as your dentist. Jennifer H read more

extremely incompetent receptionist that was a nightmare to deal with. ended up not making an appointment with them because of that so won't ever have to deal with her again read more

Best dentist ever. Very friendly and understanding. Will make you feel like your his only patient :)

I feel like I struck gold. Best and most considerate Dentist I ever met. He will not disappoint.

I found Dr Chen to be well experienced, receptive to my concerns and quick in execution. He was jovial and aimed to make the visit to the dentist as painless as possible. I highly recommend choosing Dr Chen as your dentist. read more

I have seen both Dr. Annie and Dr. Steve Chen and they're both wonderful doctors. They're very kind and personable, and I like that I'm getting a father-daughters trio package. It was important for me to find a dental office with more than one dentist as I strongly feel that doctors can benefit from having other professional opinions and perspectives at their finger tips. The two generations factor is an added bonus since you know you will get both the experience and the fresh perspectives. So far I've always been able to get an appointment that works with my schedule and my appointments have started and ended on time without me ever feeling rushed. read more

Was new to the area, with-out dental insurance and had a crown fall out. Dr. Chen got me in very quickly, was very meticulous in his work and did a great job. All for a very reasonable price! read more

I LOVE this dentist office! We've been going here for a year, and have only good things to say about them. Dr. Annie is so nice and great and what she does. They are reliable and great to work with. If you're looking for a dentist in the Santa Clara area, this office should definitely be on your radar! read more

How fortunate that I moved close to the offices of Dr. Chen. From the receptionist Anna to the doctors Annie and Connie, these are terrific people who really care about their patients. So friendly and able to permit a necessary visit on short notice. Highly recommend this office - terrific all around. read more

We were referred by a good friend to Dr. Chen's clinic and satisfied with Dr. Chens' work. Our whole family have been seeing Dr. Steve Chen and his two daughters, Dr. Connie and Dr. Annie, for over one year and felt very comfortable to come here. Dr. Steve Chen described issues to us in detail and provided suggestions in order to maintain the healthy of our teeth. He taught my son how to brush teeth in correct way patiently. He made crowns for my husband's teeth precisely. Very nice job done! Dr. Chen, Dr. Connie, and Dr. Annie are always polite and gentle to patients, and again, they described issues very clear in a understandable way. I want to show my appreciation to all Dr. Chen and Anna, the assistant in the front desk, for their family environment dental clinic. This dentist office is highly recommended! read more

Both Dr. Chens have worked with me and they are by far the most kind, skilled and professional dentists I have been to. Highly recommend this office to anyone - Plus they are open on Saturdays. EASY 5/5 rating. read more

Went back to see Dr. Chen....after Anna apologized to me, we are all happy campers now..ho ho ho ho.. Peace & Love! Enrique read more

Dr. Chen provides the best dentist experience I have ever had in the US for 6 years. He is full of humor and passion in his job.

I just went there today, and Connie is my doctor today cleaning my teeth, she is very patient, And I hate to deal with insurance thing, they will give you more detail, what is covered and which part is not covered by insurance, and how much you need to pay and what discount you can get.and also give me a plan and explain every details for me. to deal my wise teeth and some major issue. My friend took care of teeth in here for almost 10 years. I think i will follow them for next 20 years . read more

A true old school Dentist with all the modern touches needed. He and his staff cares. It shows. Great dental work! Best Dentist I have seen in years. Highly recommended. read more

Dr. Chen has helped me since I came to bay area 4 years ago. After 2~3 times visit, all my old teeth problems were gone. From then on , I have never been troubled for any tooth issue. Meanwhile, he keeps on tracking any health issues, and let me informed. Meanwhile he is a very nice, thoughtful people. Once a time, I had an emergency late in the afternoon, he was fully prepared when I stopped by his clinic. No need to mention that he would adjust the schedule based on your truly requirements. What else could you expected from a doctor? Visiting his clinic is always accompanied by pleasure. He is a man of cheerful humour, you will be fully relaxed. I believe you will reach consensus with me after letting him take care of your tooth health. read more

I am going to repeat what all the other posters said - Dr. Chen is an excellent dentist. Having your teeth done is a scary experience, but Dr. Chen puts you at ease. I originally went to get my wisdom tooth examined, but I was sure that I had other problems too. He fixed two cavities (which now make it so much better) and has now got rid of the wisdom tooth. I am very happy. read more

Dr.steve is the best dentist. he is the cheerful person and explains the things very clear. Thank you Doctor.
