My experience with Dr. Pak was a nightmare of deception, negligence, and financial exploitation disguised as "wellness." She failed to properly inform me about the risks of the Straumann implant, and worse, she failed to disclose that she placed it poorly. She also hid her plan to use a cheap resin crown, which was easy and profitable for her to put in. The crown she gave me was ugly, cheap, and poorly made, yet she billed it as a high-quality porcelain crown to my insurance, maxing out my coverage and making me pay full price for her mistake. See the picture. Dr. Pak's "wellness" approach is really just about the wellness of her bank account. A year later, the issue remains unresolved. Her negligence has caused me immense stress, financial loss, and long-lasting dental problems. Stay far away if you value your health and finances. Oh, and don't be fooled by the positive reviews--they're written by her staff to hide the truth. read more

Dr Pak and her team are the best! I felt comfortable the minute I stepped into the office. Everyone treated me with genuine kindness. Dr Pak replaced some large fillings and saved my teeth (other dentists wanted to do crowns). These fillings look and perform great! I also needed a tooth extracted and I was very nervous about it. Dr Pak was so gentle and skilled. I had no swelling or bruising and almost no pain in the days following. Dr Pak even called the next day to check on me. She is a highly skilled and caring dentist. So glad I found her. read more

I'm thankful to the doctor Christina Pak and her team for their amazing work. It was the first time when I needed an implant and was a bit scared. Also I'm prone to allergies and didn't want to have a titanium implant. Gladly I found Dr Christina Pak, she explained well all available options in my case. She is working with a brand which is offering time proven great quality implants, and offering zirconia implant options too. The surgery went seamless, during the procedure Dr gave me just right amount of anesthesia, so I didn't feel anything. Healing process was quick, and on the next day I didn't have any pain at all. No numbness or anything. The implant was installed well and quick. It feels and looks just great. Overall I'm very happy with the work. Thankful for the doctor's professionalism, attention to her patients. Appreciate that the team was working promptly with finances and insurance. read more

Maybe I just had a horrible dentist before, but the amount of care I received here was amazing. When I first walked in, it literally felt like I was at a spa. Like a dental spa. There was calm piano music playing, the office was beautiful, and all the ladies at the front desk were so welcoming and nice. Dr. Pak truly cares about her patients. She treated me with kindness, made sure I was comfortable, made sure I knew what was happening with my treatment, and that I was okay with everything . Also all the staff are absolutely lovely as well. I feel very safe in their care and trust them 100%. I cannot recommend them enough! read more

I've been a patient here for almost a decade. LOVE the staff and service they provide. I could never have another dental team working on these pearly whites. Shout out to Dr. Pak and Jennifer!!! read more

I am almost afraid to tell people about the office that I go to for dental work. They are the best dentists I have ever been to. Quality work, patient and kind. I have been to numerous offices in the past. This office is by far the best. read more

This was my first time going to Well Being Dentistry and it was the worst dental experience I've ever had. They are disorganized, and they got both my date of birth and name wrong even though I gave both through phone as well as through the written forms. They also made me fill out parts of the forms again even though I had already done them prior to visiting the office. They kept trying to push wisdom teeth removal and orthodontics on me even though I told them multiple times I wasn't interested. Teeth cleaning was very rough and I had to ask them to be more gentle. My gums started bleeding. The visit was almost two hours just for X-rays and cleaning, whereas my previous dentist did everything in half an hour. The rooms are cramped and I saw trash cans overflowing. The dentist and dental assistants kept leaving the room every few minutes. The dentist made me feel bad about my crooked but healthy teeth and kept telling me that I needed ortho and that in order for me to get my teeth fixed, I would then also need all of my wisdom teeth removed. After the visit, the woman at the front desk pulled out a list of potential costs, at which point I realized why they were so keen on pushing extraction and braces. Though one of the dental assistants was kind to me, I would have to say this was overall a very negative experience and I will be looking for dental services elsewhere. read more

Clearly at top of their game technology wise but also with business experience. A very positive attitude from all employees.

I took my 5yo and 3yo for their exam + cleaning. Everyone was friendly. Exam and cleaning was quick, and neither of my kids cried!! I also had a cleaning and exam the following week. Dr L is relatable and friendly. She offered different services but was not pushy at all. What I didn't know was that our insurance didn't completely cover. I have delta dental ppo and WBD is not in network with ours. It was a misunderstanding when I spoke to the front desk staff because they cover delta dental premier (not ppo). So we were billed almost 3/4 of the total cost of exam and cleaning for everyone. I called the staff, who forwarded me to Monica, and she was so kind to waive our bill and explain what had happened. We will be changing our insurance to premier so we can continue to go to wellbeing. Thank you! read more

I loved the customer service . Smiling faces and very professional staff. They were all very friendly and very helpful.

I received a very thorough treatment when I went in for my teeth cleaning and Invisalign consultation. Every single step of the process was explained to me and I appreciate that. The staff was very friendly, very knowledgeable and honestly provided the best service I've received in medical care. read more

Friendly and professional, and a great office. We've been going for more than 10 years!

This place always feel like home. They are so friendly and welcoming . I called for an urgent visit for my child and Dr. Pack saw us immediately, just 15 mins after my call. read more

You know that person who hasn't gone to the dentist in a decade and only goes because teeth need to be pulled out? Well that's me! That WAS me. I had gone to several other dentists and would never return. I would cry and not cooperate. My husband and all 3 children had been seeing Dr Pak for somewhere close to 15 years. It's only in the past 3 years that I took the leap and went. I explained my anxiety and from the moment I walked in they were so patient and kind. I always appreciate how Dr Pak explains her process before and during a procedure. I've had some major work done and not once have I hesitated to go to an appointment because of anxiety or fear. Dr Pak along with her entire staff are friendly, professional and well informed. Aside from my own personal experience, my three kids love her as well. They have no fear when going to the dentist because they've had someone so great since the beginning. My boys, 16 and 11, started going around age 2. My daughter now 22, started around 6 or 7 and is still a patient. I could go on and on but what it really comes down to is that I am a tough dental patient and she turned me into someone who looks forward to visits. I highly recommend Well Being For children and adults. read more

I have been going to Dr. Pak's Dental office for over 5+ years. Dr. Pak and the dental staff are all kind and caring. They really do care about your teeth! It is easy to schedule appointments with them and they are always flexible with my work schedule. The office is above and beyond in regards to COVID19: office is sparking clean, masks are worn, temperature checks upon entry and hand sanitizers are present. All dental hygienist are friendly and communicate with you throughout the cleaning process (what they are doing on your teeth!) . Overall very professional and highly recommend for Well Being Dentistry for your dental needs. read more

As of this writing, I've been seeing Dr. Pak for over 10 years, and so have my husband and kids. I like that she and all of the practitioners she hires are thoughtful, gentle and kind, beyond being technically very competent and using top-notch and high quality equipment. I sought her out after I had a particularly brutal experience at another dentist's office who used a lot of contraptions in my mouth to perform some rather lengthy procedures. It took me over a month to recover, but the worst part was that my lips were torn and the inside of my mouth (cheeks and gums) had several cuts and lesions. Long dental procedures are rough to begin with, but this kind of trauma seemed to be avoidable. From applying Vaseline on lips so they don't get stretched, to supplying entertainment while you're in the chair with TV's mounted on the ceiling, staff are trained to be tuned in to the patient's comfort. Add to this that before Dr. Pak, I had a cavity every time I went to the dentist, and yet, since I've been seeing her regularly have not had hardly any cavities! She works hard to educate her patients, find solutions that work for them (special toothpastes, mouth-guards, etc), and is personable and relatable, creating a real connection with her patients. My son has also had braces with her and we've been very satisfied. And she has even explored alternative solutions for my other kids who would not have the follow-through to take good care of braces. She has my very highest recommendation: I've never met such an outstanding, professional, kind and gentle dentist! read more

Dr. Pak's dental office is gorgeous and immaculate! I feel like I'm going to the spa when I'm there. The environment and music make you feel at peace. The dental hygienist SooBin is thorough and gentle during cleanings. The staff is wonderful and kind. I wish I had transferred to this dental office sooner. It's conveniently located. Again, the care is professional and thorough. I'm definitely referring my friends. I know they'll be happy with the service. read more

Literally the best dentist experience I've ever had, for my fillings I didn't feel a thing, my dentist was so gentle and great

Dr Pak is the best dentist in the Bay Area. All female staff very gentle friendly and understanding. Will work with you on payments. I've known Dr. Christina Pak for over 15 years. read more

Not sure why I haven't written this already. Been coming here for over a decade and my baby daughter will probably do the same. My wife has had dental implants done and I've had deep cleans and invisalign done here, all worked out awesome. Dr Pak is one of the cleanest and hardest working people I know and her staff are all professional too. I'll probably write an update another decade from now. read more

Dr.Pak is an Angel. My mom and dad both come here and always raves about how amazing of a dentist and person Dr.Pak is. I have anxiety with the dentist like most people, but everyone here makes you feel at ease. The office itself is also beautiful and decorated to make you feel kind of at home. Dr. L did my cleaning and she was great as well! She was super sweet and kept checking in on me making sure I wasn't too uncomfortable or in pain. After that, Dr.Pak came to do my exam and talk to me about my X-rays. She is truly a genuine and sweet person and is an incredibly skilled dentist. She talked to much more than just the health of my teeth but also the symmetry of my face and discussed how she could help me aesthetically too which no doctor or dentist had ever done! I really appreciated how she took her time and evaluated me , I did not feel like just another patient. She takes the time to really listen to your concerns. Even the admin assistant was super sweet and helpful, I believe her name was Vanessa. I actually look forward to going back! 100000 stars. read more

Dr. Pak thoroughly examined my teeth and referred me to a Stanford Sleep Study unit for possible sleep apnea. When I completed the sleep study at Stanford, my doctor and I learned that I don't breathe every 10 minutes, disturbing the quality of night rest and causing other medical issues such as possible heart attack and shortness of breath during sleep. She saved my life. And with the C-PAP breathing device, I have been sleeping soundly and without teeth grinding. Dr. Pak's detail and thorough dental work (craftmanship) are high quality, and the outcome of the work is superb. Attention to detail and cheerful bedside manner make her stand out from the rest of the dentists. Lastly, I appreciate her honesty and conservative approach to resolving dental problems. I have met many dentists, most of whom are very cost sensitive. In other words, they suggested high-cost treatment such as a crown or even a tooth implant when I just needed a simple filling. I am glad I went to Dr. Pak for a second opinion and proceeded with her recommendation. Finding an honest, caring, and qualified doctor in the dental industry is rare. I highly recommend Dr. Pak to anyone needing minor or major dental treatment. read more

They just care about money. I scheduled a cleaning apt with Dr. Pak but when i went there she said it is too trivial and her assistant will do it. I hesistantly agreed. After the appointment the receptionist seemed only interested in free cleanings. She scheduled my next cleaning a month later to maximize billing to the insurance since we were close to year end. I decided never to go there but they keep haressing me with regular phone calls/emails. After marking their phone calls and email as spam I still get physical mails one year later. Maybe they should spend this energy in caring for their patients instead of trying to make the most money possible. read more

First in person appointment since covid but felt I had nothing to worry about; the office was very clean including masks and hand sanitizers. Front desk staff, Jennifer specifically, was nice and welcoming. The dental hygienist and dentist were really friendly and made sure to explain every step in the cleaning/invaslign process so we were always on the same page. read more

Looks like ole' Pak deleted my prior post. That's okay, I will keep checking and repost. People need to know what a con artist she is. Always after the next procedure and now I see why. New office... Gotta admit, it is about time. Prior old, musty, non confidential rooms. (Yes, let's let everyone know my business) Most important: I feel that she in total consciousness sabotaged two very junior procedures, because she saw that I wasn't going for the more elite services. This left me seeking out dental care to fix her disastrous repairs. My new dentist couldn't believe her style of repair. Very inviting for germs to enter and they did, destroying my tooth. Buyer beware: don't let her cagy smile or fake personality fool you. Will be happy to 'share' follow up care from a dentist professional and oral surgeon. Thank goodness that there are 'real dentists' out there that are honest, compassionate, and sincerely care about their patients. Buyer beware.... read more

Recommended by a friend and want to share the recommendation all around. They are very aware of patient fears about dental visits, and make sure to make it as less intimidating / painful as possible. They are also accomodating for insurance troubles, and will work with you directly to figure out reasonable payment amounts. Would highly recommend. read more

I had a back molar extracted. Dr. Pak did an incredible job with minimal bleeding, no pain, and no swelling! I had been so anxious about getting this done, but it was really a trauma-free experience. Thank you, Dr. Pak! read more

I had to find a dentist that accepts my insurance and I am so happy with my choice! So far I had a few fillings and a cleansing done and everybody has been super nice. I am super stressed when it comes to my teeth but dr Pak and her staff are very gentle and calming. Also, I liked that they didn't try to push me to do unnecessary procedures (like some other doctors) but they still make sure that my teeth are healthy and if I have an issue that needs attention they'll make sure I am aware of it. read more

Highly recommend Dr Pak. Best and nicest dentist I've met. The facility is brand new and they got the newest, most modern equipment. Everybody form the receptionist to the doctors are very knowledgeable and nice. read more

I would highly recommend Dr Pak at Well Being Dentistry. She and her staff always have gone above and beyond from ensuring I'm comfortable and calm in the dentist chair to the front office staff being helpful with check in and billing. I'm an anxious patient and have had a lot of dentistry done. With every visit they've treated me with such kindness and compassion which I so appreciate. The modern technology they have has resulted in the highest quality of care for my dentistry needs. read more

I hate going to the dentist. No seriously. You put me in the chair, tilt me back and I become a stiff board with my hands balled into fists across my waist. I barely breathe and when I do it's a giant sigh because I've been holding my breath. it took Dr. Pak a couple of appointments and some serious discussion to finally ease me into regular dental care without the need for serious medication to get in the door. I bring my Iphone and ear buds, plug in and crank the music selections (yeah, I have dental playlists) until it's over. It's been a couple of years. I had some major issues. I've had a root canal, a couple of caps and removal of all of my metal filings. I've got healthy gums and teeth now and I'm a happy, smiling person. Seriously, if you have dental fright, like me, you can't ask for a more understanding dentist. read more

Love the personal here they are very helpfully and nice. I brought my grandson and he was so good with them. I have taken him to other Denises and he just freaked out on them read more

Okay.. I am getting older and finding that in my 50s, not much scares me. The top three are: 3. Earthquakes in the night - You wake up not knowing if it is in the beginning, middle or the end and will I be able to get my pants on before I die. 2. Spiders - They are just creepy. Especially Black Widows! And the number one fear... 1. Dentist - Don't know what experience in my life did this to me, but the older I get, the more fear I experience. Understanding this, I hope it accentuates my review. Recently, half of a 10 year old (temporary) filling came out. A month later the other half came out. Then a few short days after than, a chunk of tooth came out. The wife told me that I had to go to the dentist. The fear welled up inside of me and the fear was overwhelming. I had goose bumps and night sweats. I did this for another two weeks before I finally started looking for a dentist. My requirements were simple. 1.They had to take my insurance, so I started on the insurance company website. 2. I had to be able to defend myself from a drill wheeling maniac who would have my life in their hands. This ruled out all of the men dentist. So I searched for a (small) woman and fount Dr. Pak. I called, they set me up with an appointment for the next day. I actually showed up! The staff was caring, friendly and awesome. No one made fun of my irrational fear. They took pictures, gave me a quote for a crown (very reasonable) and let me know that my insurance would cover most of it. I just had a small amount due. They had friendly smiles and caught me in a good mood, so I said, "lets go for it." They started right away. Dr. L (really that's all that is on her name tag), was super sweet, numbed me up and started drilling. Her soft voice and the classical music in the background was soothing. The also let me hold onto a stuffed Nemo fish. Dr. Pak then came in and introduced herself, talked to me and smiled enough to calm my nerves. She then promised not to hurt me and finished up the prep for the crown. She informed me of every step along the way and fitted me with a temporary crown. We set up the follow-up appointment and I went on my way. There was no pain after the numbing wore off. I had to reschedule my follow-up 2 times because of work conflict. No problem! Finally got in, got my crown and am extremely happy. Since my alternator went out and I coasted into the parking lot, I knew I would be walking home to deal with it later. When I told her that, she offered to have one of her staff give me a ride. I declined, but she still made me drink water before I left due to the heat wave. I feel loved! I will be going back! read more

I found Dr. Pak via my insurance provider's website and I am glad I did. I felt that it was a small practice ran by herself and a coupe staff but I could be wrong. However because of this reason, I felt a little bit more personable with Dr. Pak and she kept the simple chatting up while I was getting my teeth cleaned. I have Braces currently and since I've gotten them, I have noticed a serious change in color of my teeth and even some tar build up that wouldn't come off because my brushes couldn't efficiently reach under the wire. I would brush with both a traditional brush and then go over it again with an electrical tooth brush with no difference. After my teeth cleaning and a little bit of blood shed, Dr. Pak did a very through job of cleaning my teeth. They seriously looked whiter than months before and all the tars were gone. Her instrument of choice was a high pressured water pick like device(not the kind you have at home). On my way out I made an appointment for my next cleaning and I was done. Simple. Clean. Fast. read more
