Dr Shin and Dr Amit are very skilled professionals who perform a thorough examination, lay out all options and provide personal recommendation. The office administrators are very organized and I liked that I could fill out all forms via an iPad! The hygienists are fantastically

I had a very pleasant experience. Dr. Amin has a great way about him, and explained the procedure I am going to have very clearly. Very efficient front office too!

Received a newer type of Laser treatment not widely available elsewhere on the recommendation of my trusted general dentist. Dr Amin was recommended as offering state of the art treatments not performed at most offices. The results 90 days out are quite good and i may be able to retain the tooth for a long time, with luck. Dr. Amin is a particularly good communicator. His explanations made sense and he set reasonable expectations for the treatment. The alternative was an extraction and implant. It looks like an implant has been avoided for a good long while and not at tremendous cost. Therefore I am pleased.

If Dr. Shin wasn't a dentist, he'd be an astronaut. That's really the best summation I can provide: He's the best. Growing up *in* the dental care industry Dr. Shin and his colleagues are the best I've ever experienced. Hands down, the best!

Dr. Shin and the staff are very helpful and welcoming. They explained everything clearly. I had an extraction and I was pain free during the procedure.

Dr Amit Amin is awesome. My visit went so well. My procedure lasted fifteen minutes. He sent me to my pharmacy for recovery meds and it took longer for those rX's to be filled. Lol. I followed his post procedure instructions and that also went well. It has been four days since the procedure and I feel comfortable.

Had the follow-up visit with Dr. Shin to install the dental implant. Was relatively quick and painless.
