First time and had a great experience. Staff was courteous and the office was inviting. The room I was in had tall windows with a beautiful view of trees and greenery outside. I tend to get a little nervous at dental appointments but Dr. Yu took good care of me and kept me feeling comfortable and calm. Brandon was very informative and answered all my questions, and continued to check in with me throughout my treatment. Thank you so much for your excellent care and keeping my smile happy!

Dr. Monica Yu is the best! She is very experienced and patient. I bought my mother-in-law to her clinic because she need teeth extraction。 She treated her patients like families and friends, so friendly, gave us great recommendations for different options. I would recommend her to all my friends and of course 5 stars reviews ????

Dr. Monica Yu is very nice and considerate. She treats her patient with great patience and comes up with my teeth filling plan after discussing with my orthodontist. The process was painless as well. Highly recommended!

Responsive and Professional! Dr. Yu is the BEST! I got my 4 wisdom teeth extracted, and Dr. Yu was very professional, humorous, patient and careful that I didn't feel much pain. After the surgery, Dr. Yu followed up with me and gave me great suggestions on how to take care of the wounds. Kudos to Dr. Yu and her assistants at the clinic! Overall, great service!

I had a great experience. My hygienist (Yi) was very gentle but also very thorough. Dr. Yu was very informative, but she never pressured me or tried to sell me a treatment. Great experience.
