It didn't work out...was disappointed as was highly recommended after my dentist of 26 years retired. However, the staff is friendly and it is a modern and professional environment. read more

I've been going to Dr. Chan for over 10 years, and have always been so pleased with the absolute professionalism of the entire staff. Because of Covid19, I had to reschedule my cleaning/exam appointment. However I noticed one of my implants was loose. I called the office and Dr. Chan fit me in, and was able to fix the problem today! Dr. Chan and Emma you both rock!! Thank you so much!! read more

After having a terrible time finding a kind and compassionate dentist, I finally found Dr. Major. I was thrilled. Recommended her to everyone I knew. She recommend my treatment include a procedure that needed to be handled by and Oral Surgeon. Unfortunately, that Oral Surgeon was not willing to work with me as a patient and as a result, Dr. Major in turn terminated our doctor/patient relationship because the work exclusively with that Oral Surgeon. Seems short sighted and limiting and results in a loss of thousands of dollars worth of revenue. I am, needless to say, very disappointed. read more

Just back from a great experience with Dr. Chan and her staff! I recently relocated to Sonoma County after 30 years away and at the suggestion of a trusted friend I scheduled a new patient appointment with Dr. Chan. Dr. Chan and her team were phenomenal. From the scheduling, to new patient on boarding documentation to appointment reminders it was incredibly professional. My new patient visit was very comprehensive (2 hours) - which included a full set of x-rays, still close up photos of my teeth and bite, a 3D scan of my jaw, a complete counting of my teeth noting gum recession and a great cleaning and polishing. Dr. Chan's office is nothing short of state of the art with the latest dental technology. Ranjana was my hygienist - kind, gentle, professional and personable. Dr. Chan and Ranjana did a great job of explaining all the steps and treatment options available to me. I am very fortunate to have great dental insurance which covered everything for my visit. I look forward to a long relationship with Dr. Chan and her team. read more

Dr. Von Chan has without question - one of the most beautiful dental offices I have ever seen. From the moment you walk into her reception area until the moment you leave - the overall experience can be summed up in just one word: "Wow." Her office staff is also very professional, very friendly and they do everything possible to make your visit a comfortable one. Her office manager (Judy) is at the very "top of her game" and will make you feel like one of her family. Dr. Chan herself is a true delight and has a wonderful smile that will "light up your day" no matter how much pain you are having with your teeth. I highly recommend this dental practice if you want the very best! read more

My husband and I both go to this office. The remodel is spectacular! It's a friendly, clean comfortable dental office. I don't think you'll be disappointed! Judy at the desk is always the most helpful! In my opinion the best dental care in the county! read more

I have been a long time patient of this practice and wanted to take the time to very briefly convey a little information about my last visit. Let me preface this review by saying I have an irrational fear of the dentist. I was in there two weeks ago for a significant procedure involving several items (as a result of not going in almost 2 years). The staff did a great job in explaining to me the procedure, outlining my expectations for pain management both during and after (of which there was surprisingly little). They took me right on time and I exited the office just as planned. Those of you who know me, will understand the fact that I am even writing about a dental procedure and experience, speaks volumes.... let alone a glowing review. I hope to never experience that procedure again..... but if I do, it will be there. read more

The above must be a friend of. S.J. 8 hr. round trip.... I don't believe that. DDS = Good & improving w/ experience. Except for crowns. Simple cavities OK. In ofc. wait time to be seen = good, usually less than 10 min. Ofc. = Not worth going. High turnover: Asst.'s, hygienists, techs. Never the same twice. Limited Ofc. hr's., 3 day week., irregular sched. Book month's in adv. NO AFTN., NO EVE., NO WKND. Ofc. Mgr., EXTREMELY OFFENSIVE, RUDE, SNARK-O-MATIC! Patent's joke about her, god complex. And, like me, leave b/c of. Like the "SNL" skit w/D.Spade, the receptionist for Jesus or Dick Clark. Who wants or has time for that? read more

Thank you for providing the best dental experience of my life! I was impressed with every aspect of your practice. The facility was clean, modern, and beautiful. The best part was the staff. Everyone was super-nice and helpful -- the front of the office (Laurie & Judy), the assistants (Kelly & Gretchen), and of course Dr. Chan. My initial examination and cleaning was thorough and informative. Dr. Chan was patient, caring, and explained everything very well. I feel lucky to have found Dr. Chan! read more

First - I don't give anything a 5 star review. If you see my reviews - I am picky and hard to please. With that said, I hated all dentists - crooked, mis diagnosis, unpleasant to be around etc. Then I tried Dr Chan as I ran out of dentists to try. That was around 10 years ago or so. She is the best period. After trying her a few times and I seeing the enormous effort, professionalism, and hard work she put into her practice, I brought my entire family in to have in to take care of all their dental needs. We are all very pleased. Her goal, that she works tirelessly to achieve, is to make her practice the best in the area. I would say she is the best in the state. If you are looking for a good dentist - try Dr Von Chan. I guarantee you will not be disappointed. Not only is she amazing, she does everything she can to bring in the best staff possible. I have appointments for cleaning 2-3 times per year and look forward to having Mary clean my teeth. If I am giving her and her staff 5 stars, you can be assure you will not be disappointed. 5 stars is very hard to do - especially after ten years. read more

One of the best dental practice in Petaluma. Staff is great! This is a group of very caring and friendly people. Office is modern and clean. I can't say enough good things about this place. I had two crowns done by Dr. Major and I have to say I'm so thankful they have a crown milling machine there. The process was long but so convenient since I didn't have to come back for another visit where in most cases a temporary is put in and a second visit is required for permanent crown. I use to dread going to the dentist but thankfully my experiences at this office have all been pleasant. Dr. Major and staff are all amazing. read more

I have tried a few dentists in the past few years, but the staff and dentists here are the friendliest and most professional. Great cleaning and thorough exams. Very gentle...which I appreciate. read more

A friend likes to say, "If it's too good to be true, it is." This morning, amid my first full 2 hour treatment after the 2 hour exam last week (Yelped previously), Dr. Amanda Major and assistant Emma provided such superb, comfortable, extensive, expert teamwork that the aforementioned aphorism is hereby negated. The five yelp stars is simply not equal to such state-of-the-art dentistry. At every opportunity throughout the treatment, my comfort was attended with personal care better than any flight or restaurant. And to complement the professional care, I watched the movie "Argo" on an overhead screen with superb cordless headphones. I does NOT get any better than this! read more

still loving Dr. Chan. new office is amazing; love all of the fun dental toys to keep my teeth in tip, top shape. you can tell the whole team enjoys what they do and have your best interests at top of mind. read more

If you are one of the people that are putting off your teeth needs due to Covid well... DONT. You only get one pair of teeth and they deserve to be treated better -- just cause there is a pandemic does not mean you get to neglect your dental hygiene. I was hesitant going back to the dentist due to Corona but Dr. Chan's office was absolutely spotless and they followed proper Covid protocols. I came here from San Jose based on recommendation from a friend and the appointment did not disappoint. You do not have to wait in the waiting room, instead you wait in your car and are called to come in. All of the seating is cleaned and Dr. Chan was very meticulously covered and washed and sanitized her hands. Also, they have television screens above the chairs to allow you to watch whatever you want while they work on your teeth -- how cool is that. Additionally, the receptionist is very sweet and handled my complicated case with my insurance. Dr. Chan herself is so lovely -- she does not teeth shame and does not make you feel bad for missing a flossing here and there. I plan on bringing my parents here too since they are long overdue for a check up. read more

The first thing I noticed was how beautiful and upscale the office was! I was warmly greeted when I entered, and there was a huge drink station with SO many choices while I waited. I was given a tour of the entire office as I was a first time patient, and everything was explained beautifully. My dental assistant (I feel awful for forgetting her name!) was so kind, very attentive and helpful, and made the process such an easy one for me. Dr. Chan was also very thorough, direct and kind during my checkup and cleaning. She was understanding of my dental needs and offered me a great deal on a mouth guard to help me from grinding my teeth at night. They were able to work with my insurance and made the entire process easy for me. I'll be back when it's time to get another cleaning and fill my cavities! read more

Modern, calming office, staff are very friendly. No wait, brought right in. The procedure went smooth, quick, and painless. The also gave me a small discount for having no insurance and paying up front. I highly recommend Von Chan and her staff! read more

I am a new patient, having moved from another dentist with whom I was quite dissatisfied. Dr Chan and the entire staff are amazing. Had two fillings today and have to say it was the least painful fillings I've ever had. Their patient care far surpasses anything I've ever experienced on a dental office!!!! read more

I have had dental phobia since I was a child. I found Dr. Chan while searching for providers that were covered by my insurance. After reading some positive reviews I decided to try them out. I was not disappointed. Everyone from the front desk to the back of the dental office was very nice and professional. I get emails and calls for reminders and to check up on me after a procedure. I felt safe and taken care of so I recommended this office to a friend who also loved them. Thanks everyone at Dr. Chans office. read more

I am a BIG chicken when it comes to going to the dentist. I had a horrible toothache and it turns out I needed a root canal! Dr. Von Chan is WONDERFUL! I put on those cool movie glasses and they were as gentle as could be. They explained everything to me and kept checking how I was doing while they were doing the procedure. NO ONE likes having dental work, but I must admit, if you must, and we all do, this is a great place to go. Clean office, super friendly staff and a gentle experience. If you are a BIG BIG chicken like me, this is the place you want to go. :o) read more

Best dental practice ever. I have severe fear of dentists, but don't like drugs, so I have just toughed it out my entire life. I've had some good dentists, even great dentists, but Dr. Chan's practice is the best. They are gentle, highly skilled, and use the latest methods. And they listen to you. They handle insurance billing so you don't have to, and they take CareCredit for services that cost $300 or more. I still am afraid of dentists, but I know I am in good hands at Dr. Chan's practice. read more

Dr, Chan took over the practice of Dr. Bush who had been my dentist for 30 plush years. When Dr. Bush retired, he advised me that he had contacted the dental schools in San Francisco to find who they considered the best recent graduates. Dr, Chan was the result of his search, and I have not been dissapointed in his choice. High quality professional and personal treatment. l read more

I saw Dr. Hoang and she was terrific! It needs to be noted the staff was great too! Hygenist amazing, friendly, knowledgeable. Dr. Hoang did my cleaning and exam since it was my first visit. She explained everything in detail which was great. Yes, going the dentist was a PLEASANT experience! I HIGHLY recommend this office. It's not set-up as a pediatric dental office, but I'm going to take my 3 1/2 year old son there. He'll LOVE Dr. Hoang. read more

Von Chan and Amanda Major have an outstanding practice. Very close and convenient to Hwy 101. Makes it easy to go in for my regular checkups. The office staff is friendly and helpful. They take care of everything from digital copies to setting up email alerts for my next appointment. Dr. Major is friendly and an outstanding dentist! Added bonus is being able to watch a movie with a warm blanket while getting a filling with laughing gas! Thank you! read more

Thank you yelpers!!! The best dental office EVER! The office is absolutely beautiful and the care I received was so beyond my expectations. The front desk staff were friendly and welcoming. Mary took care of my cleaning and she was amazing. She explained everything clearly. Mary was gentle and repeatedly checked to make sure I was comfortable. She gave me the most thorough cleaning I have ever received. She clearly takes pride in her work and knows her stuff. Dr. Crowley then examined my teeth. He was very friendly and also thoroughly explained everything. Instead of recommending unnecessary dental work, he explained that a couple of areas just needed to be watched. This office does everything right!! read more

I read the great reviews and have been going to this office three years. Was surprised by their aggressive style wanting me to have a teeth cleaning every 6 months despite their notes saying I only want a once a year cleaning. Just went for my annual cleaning and before looking in my mouth they filled my mouth, threw the big heavy jacket on me and started taking side xrays without consulting me about this surprise addition. It did up their gross profit by 35% but I will find a dentist who includes me in the decision making process about procedures on my body. read more

#1 Dentist Office!! After my first appointment, I couldn't stop talking about what a great experience I had. Co-workers and family members ultimately decided to make appointments and have had nothing but great comments (including one who is terrified of the dentist). The staff and dentists make you feel like part of a family. They make sure that you are comfortable and that all questions or concerns are addressed. If all dental offices were as great as Dr. Chan and Dr. Tyler's, everyone would love the dentist! read more

I've had my share of bad experience with dentists, so trying a new one I'm always skeptical. I have been searching for the perfect dentist for YEARS, and I have finally found it. I waiting until after I had my fillings done to write this review so I can actually speak on how the procedure went... And I must say it was awesome. My first appointment was wonderful, I walked in and instantly fell in love with the environment and people who worked there. I love that the office is all paperless and new technology. Dr Major actually took pictures of my teeth and showed them to me so I could understand what she was seeing. This dental office isn't about taking your money and doing whatever they can to get you back in there, all the woman in there are actually genuine caring souls and just want you to have a good experience and healthy teeth.I went in to get two cavities filled today and the entire experience was great (yes, great) I was so numbed up I didn't feel a thing and I had a big cozy blanket and I seriously almost feel asleep a couple times, Dr Major was so gentle and continually asked if I was doing alright. Moral of the story, it was a great morning, and I had two fillings- GO SEE DR MAJOR!! You won't regret it. read more

i really like this dentist office. i've been seen by multiple dentists including chan, tyler and hoang and they all are awesome. very professional, knowledgable, fast and have the latest technology. i come from the south bay and peninsula where there are also great dentists and this office is as good if not the best i've had. highly recommended. read more

I had a great experience with my 1st dental visit at Dr. Chan's office. Dr. Chan has one of the best dental office in the town. She invested in best technology, and most comfortable office setting I've seen. The staff was very professional and cordial. The appointment is on time! The assistant took X-ray. Dr. Chan did exam and dental cleaning. Dr. Chan is very knowledgeable, patient, personal and productive at the same time. Strongly recommend this dental office if you're looking for a dentist. read more

Dr. Chan and Dr. Tyler are outstanding dentists who really focus on patient comfort and service. The staff are extremely friendly and always striving to make the appointment a pleasant experience. If you are looking for a professional, experienced, and gentle handed practice with a wonderful staff this is it. My family is VERY pleased with the service we receive from this dental practice. read more

Dr. Von Chan and Clair Tyler have the best dentist office in Petaluma and argubally everywhere else as well. They have a very friendly staff who always make you welcome, comfortable and relaxed. The cleanings and procedures are always done with care and they always explain the procedure in detail and constanty check if you are doing okay. I've had some tricky work which I was nervous about and it turned out to be rather plesasent. I have notthing but good things to say about the dentists and the office I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a better dental experience. read more

When you walk into the office there is a sign telling the patients to yelp with good reviews. I am stuck paying the full amount of a bill because my dental coverage isn't covered by there office. They say it is my responsibility to know that first not theirs. The hygienist did x-rays even though I said I did not want my daughter to have them. She did not make my daughter feel comfortable and threatened her that she would get fired if she didn't do a good job because my daughter wasn't cooperating. The dentist walked in and tried to convince me that my daughter needs to do plastic codings on all her molars when they come in. This office just wants do rip people off. I could hear other patients getting cavities filled the whole time. There wasn't privacy between the rooms. I could see and hear other patients. read more

I am so grateful to have such an outstanding dentist and staff. I highly recommend Dr. Von Chan if you wish to have the best work performed on your teeth and gums. I'm always treated with friendly professionalism and made to feel comfortable. It is a relief to be confident in knowing my dental needs will be completely taken care of with efficiency, updated equipment, new methods and with only a minimal amount of pain. Smile! read more

The Dr Here is Great, visibly Professional and Good at what she Does. I had an excellent first experience at this office, it is truly a beautiful setting and her hygienist was so sweet. However, when I called to follow up on my treatment (when I was calling due to severe pain) I was not treated professionally or as I would treat someone who is hurting. I was simply requesting a copy of my treatment to view, I am not certain what the problem was but her tone got very unprofessional. The front office who answered the phone was sarcastic, demeaning, and just generally made me feel uncomfortable. She appeared more worried about her Dr's schedule then when I could possibly make it in to relieve this horrible pain. I simply hung up and took my business elsewhere. Unfortunate that one bad experience like this or one bad phone call can make you lose a patient who could be thousands of dollars in future business. I wont be recommending this office to any family or friends of mine, I would take a friendly Dr and Office Staff over the look of the Practice anyday. read more

Dr. Chan has been my dentist for about 4 years, and I have a great experience here every time I visit. Mary is a phenomenal hygienist - super gentle, and at the same time gets my teeth soooo clean. She's a great listener and so good at what she does. I actually look forward to going to the dentist now! The office has all the latest technology - they show you instant photos up on a screen of any tooth/gum issue they want you to be aware of, so you have a full understanding of why they are recommending a particular treatment. During longer procedures you can watch movies on special glasses/earphones. Dr. Chan is extremely professional and knowledgable and always explains what she's seeing and recommending really well. After each visit, I feel like I have a full understanding of my oral health and all the options available to me. I would (and do!) recommend Dr. Chan and this dental practice to everyone. read more
