Great dentist. Professional employees. They are well knowledgeable. They are fast and efficient. They make sure you’re comfortable. They offer you a free toothbrush and toothpaste at cleaning appointments. I also love they take your blood pressure before starting. Another thing is you can listen to their music.

I went in for a cleaning an exam because I haven’t been back since 2019. The check in office was very fast and easy. I had Dr.Yan and her assistant Irene, They made the atmosphere so very comfortable and safe. She help me go over a step by step plan for cleaning, extracting and gettting braces.i can tell she’s very experienced and loved what she’s doing. Dr Yan is very inspiring and supportive in our conversation about start up businesses.

They helped my daughter feel comfortable and safe as she got her braces put on. She had things explained to her, and she got to ask questions. her friend and I (mom) were allowed to sit in the room and interact with the dentist while the braces were being put on. It was a good experience for all of us.

Dr Apollo did a fantastic job today fixing a front top chipped tooth. He was gentle and kind throughout the procedure and I didn’t feel like he was rushed. My tooth looks and feels great! I can’t thank him enough!
