The dentists are not truly hard working people. They prefer to do a half service and then ask to schedule other appointments where I had to come here several times even for a basic service and cleaning. Go somewhere else who respect & value your time, and service that you truly deserve. One star for a common friendly administrative staff.

I am one happy patient and my BIG smile shows it! I am BLESSED to have a brilliant dentist like Dr. Steven Chew. He provides comprehensive and state-of-the-art dental care. He is kind and caring; he has a comforting and gentle nature. He takes time to explain dental procedures and outcomes. I could not be happier with the results of the wonderful dental work he's done for me (and my family). Every aspect of my interactions with Dr. Chew, his dental assistant, hygienist, including his lab partners have been excellent. The front desk staff are kind and friendly; they demonstrate true professionalism. When I walk in the practice, I am always greeted with a smile. They make me feel like a valued family member. The environment is comfortable and relaxing. Staff are always available to answer my questions whether in person or on the phone. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have Dr. Chew as my dentist. If you want a great big beautiful smile in a wonderful and relaxing environment Dr. Chew and his staff will deliver!

I love this office. Reception is always great and helpful over the phone, and appointments seem to run on time each time. I have so many good things to say about Carol the hygienist. She is awesome and super efficient. Dr. Chew knows his stuff and checks in during regular cleanings to see how things are going. So in short, absolutely no complaints, and I look forward to coming back in 6 months.
