Canyon Dentistry is the best of the dental experience I have had in my life. I have visited numerous dental office in the past years and found Dr. Chen's office have present all the quality that you want to see and have from a patient's view point. I am a Register Nurse and I can tell you that I have seen Dr. Chen is well experienced/has profound knowledge, highly skilled, proficient communication with patient, and his gentle caring characters and well bedside manner are all the quality that a patient could ever ask for. Dr. Chen's profound knowledge and skills have successfully place a steel support to my difficult crooked tooth. His proficient communication with patient decreased the anxiety level to the very minimum. His gentle bedside manner provide me the sense of security and comfort. I also want to mention that his office staff are top notch! Tracy and Megan are at the front desk, they are not only friendly, down to earth, easy to talk to but always go for extra mile to assist you from making appointment to insurance questions and communicate with you the safety of health measure at the office during pandemic. Linda the hygienist is the best I ever had. She takes the pride of her work, and is diligent and thorough. Dr. Chen's medical assistant also are friendly, they always make you feel like home. Dr. Chen's office is clean, quiet and soothing and give patient a sense of peace and comfort. If I can give Canyon Dentistry a 10 star rating, I would. I can't say enough on how much I appreciate that I have the whole team to care for my dental health and I am sure that you as well will enjoy coming to this office.

This is the worst dentist I have ever been too. I'm no stranger to x-rays but they were absolutely abrasive. Not to mention the staff at the front is some of the rudest, most entitled staff I have ever encountered. Megan got downright aggressive with me when I was asking about policies and procedures of this office!! The follow up is terrible too. STAY AWAY.

Had the worst experience! Tried to upsell you one thing after another and when you question the costs, the admin gets extremely aggressive with you. The doctor was so quick to call me multiple times after the first time the admin got aggressive with me but after I told him I would go elsewhere, didn't response to me for 11 days about follow ups related to my visit. When I called back to check in, the aggressive admin yet again got aggressive. Then, apparently the doctor was too busy to have time to call me. Seems like as soon as he realized I wouldn't be paying him thousands for unnecessary procedures I wasn't worth his time. Still don't have an answer on my follow ups from my visits 2 weeks later!

This place is very fast and efficient compare to other places I've been to. I was a new patient and went it for dental examination. The nurse and Dr. Chen explain things in detail about my dental hygiene and my gum health. During the cleaning, they explained every steps about what they're doing and why. I highly recommend this place.

I love coming here! I was always terrified of the dentist but everyone here eased that feeling. All my worries are gone! Front desk people are so wonderful. They are always helpful. Gloria is my hygienist and she's amazing. Never painful and tells you what she's about to do next and will explain things (if you are curious). Also super friendly. I never have to worry when she's cleaning my teeth :D PS: Their place is super clean and they have covid procedures for you to follow to ensure yours and the staff's safety.

Fantastic Dentist. This is my third attempt at finding just the right dentist. I moved from Kentucky 2 years ago and all the dentist before Canyon seemed to rush through my cleanings to get to a sales pitch on all the work I could have done. Not Canyon. They cared about me and did not push me into anything. Thanks Canyon Dentistry, Dr. Chen and his friendly staff!!!

Dr Chen is the most detailed and compassionate dentist out there. It took me awhile to find him again after he did a fantastic job over 10 years ago. I am glad to have him replace a chipped crown with the latest and greatest material available in the market. Workmanship trumps any dentist out there! Megan and Dawn are both professional and a joy to work with. I rate them 6 stars out of 5.

Dr. Chen has truly made an amazing impact on my life by resting my smile. My complex implant journey was made possible and successful by Dr. Chen, as other surgeons said It was impossible. He took my case as a challenge and proved to be a master of perfection, compassionate and truly the best dentist/surgeon ever. In addition, the entire office staff were supportive and caring throughout the entire process. I thank Dr. Chen and his staff from the bottom of my heart for giving me an even more perfect smile:-)
