Unprofessional, my car broke down for the 2nd time in the almost 2yrs iv been going here, and while I'm sitting on the side of the road with my kids was told they require 48 hrs for cancelation even though the confirmation text comes less then 24 hrs b4 the appointment. And I didn't expect or want to be broken down on side of road. The owner actually said that if I was going to keep breaking down we would have to talk about rescheduling. I responded with well I'm not planning on breaking down nor do I want to, and I'm planning on getting a new vehicle but didn't think it was her business and was not going to have that conversation at that time. A week later I received a letter saying I had missed multiple appointments and she would no longer see either of my young children. Also owner dosnt speak or explain much do to a language barrier.. the nurses have alway been nice. Building had looked like it under construction since I started going there. Very disappointing. The only kid friendly thing here is the crapp balloon animal at the end

Dr Khoe is great! I brought my nephew to his appointment, he was nervous and was more anxious when he saw the mask and face shield now worn with Covid. Dr Khoe played peek a boo with him with the face shield and it made him laugh. He had a great appointment, he went from scared to relaxed and happy! Thank you Dr Khoe!!!

Dr. Khoe is always friendly and caring. She does everything very carefully. When the light is too bright, she lets you put on sunglasses. Kids can get a prize. I've been to this dentist for 6 years and every time I go, I always leave with a smile on my face.

My son loves going to the dentist and I believe it is because Dr Khoe and her staff make it such a great experience! So happy we found this office!

I have been bringing my children to Dr. Khoe for 16 years. She and her staff have been absolutely amazing. My son was terrified of the dentist, due to severe oral aversion. Dr. Khoe and her staff have worked with him, since he was a baby. They have all been extremely patient, kind and understanding. I can't imagine anyone working with him as well. She is available any time of day or night and truly cares about each and every one of her patients and their families.

I am so happy to have found Dr. Khoe! She is so sweet and full energy. My son loved visiting her and having his teeth cleaned. Her dental assistant was super helpful and attentive to us! The environment is perfect for little ones. We can't wait to come back in another 6 months!

Dr. Khoe is amazing with kids! She is very skilled and has great patience... especially when it comes to kids who are usually scared about their visits. Kids are always leaving happy once they're done. Being a former patient of Dr. Khoe, I know I've always had a pleasant experience!

My 5 year old daughter would not sit still for her dental appointments and having Xrays taken is always a challenge. Dr Khoe time and again, will divert my daughter's attention elsewhere such as have my daughter "count the shooting stars" ...

Super nice and professional doctor. Made my daughter feel very comfortable, and actually looking forward to our next visit. Nice staff, ready to help even with the non-dental issues parents may have coming onto the office. Very accomodating ...
