All I know is my appointment was close to perfect. Dr Judy Yu is very kind and caring.. Dr Yu knows what she's doing and made sure I was aware of the process it would take to receive the best care.. Kim has a Spirit that's simply amazing, excellent at what she does. Renee at the front desk was very pleasant and very helpful. Overall I would recommend this office to everyone. Thanks Dental FX.. God Bless each of you.

This was my first visit as a new patient. I had broken a tooth and they had me on the schedule within 2days (no pain so not in distress). A previous bad experience at another dental office had me terrified to try a new one. I cannot tell you how wonderful my experience was! Each person that I encountered was very personable and I felt they had my care as their #1 objective. Happy to refer anyone to Dental FX! If you are nervous, let them know as they go out of their way to make you comfortable.

I've been pretty leery about going to the dentist for some time now. My experiences in the past have always been awful, and every dentist I've gone to has always made me feel like I'm the worst human being in the world for not taking care of my teeth, even though all my issues are genetic and I can't help it. My experience with Dental FX has been an incredible sigh of relief. Every single person, from the receptionist to the dentist, was immensely friendly and professional. They were able to work with me to come up with a plan to get all of teeth fixed and cleaned up. I look forward to working with them in the future and would recommend them to anybody looking for a new dentist.

I decided to give Dental FX a try after going to another dentist for many years. I was having multiple issues the prior dentist couldn't fix despite multiple attempts. My first appt at Dental FX was so thorough which is something I've never experienced before. Dr. Yu sat down with my upon arrival and asked me what my concerns were and what I wanted my outcome to be. They showed me problems areas and even provided printouts with all of the info. Cost is discussed upfront so there's no surprises. Everyone is so friendly as well. Definitely happy with being a patient at Dental FX!

I had a lot of dental work done today. Three crowns and a cavity. Definitely needed Novacaine. Dr U has new technology. Getting the needle for Novacaine is the worst part for me. Her new technology made it the best I didn't feel a thing. I didn't even see a needle I'm still amazed. They made sure I was comfortable before they got started. They gave me a weighted blanket and offered me some headphones to watch a movie but I put my AirPods in and listen to my music Dr U and her staff are phenomenal.

Dr Yu makes it a point to check patients blood pressure and if not for her I wouldn't have known my blood pressure was 178/100. I am currently on medication and on the road to better diet and exercise. Thank you Dr Yu for caring for my health in general and taking that extra step to save lives.
