Dr Gunawan is the best dentist I have had ever! After 40+ years of good, ok and horrible ones, she is absolutely fantastic, always very calming and understanding, patient with all of my dental anxieties. She takes the time to explain everything well too.... Hooray 4 Me and My Teeth :-)

Dr Gunawan has been my dentist for almost 2 years now. She's very gentle and understanding about my dental anxiety, and equips me with the knowledge and tools I need to prevent cavities with my extremely weak enamel. with the added steps she's suggested, I've reduced my annual number of cavities to 1 which is a huge accomplishment! Her office has taken great covid precautions, from the waiting room (masks mandatory, single use pens, purell) to the exam rooms (HEPA filters, only 2 patients in the building at a time), and their PPE (double masks, fresh gowns with each patient, face shields). I felt very secure and like they were taking my health seriously.
