    I felt comfortable and well cared for here. Dr. Lou took good care of my dental needs and was able to put me at ease when I was nervous. She, her dental assistant, and the receptionist are all extremely friendly and kind and do a great job with any dental services you may need!

    Dr Lou is a very thorough dentist that offers exceptional care. She takes the time to explain why issues have occurred and what the options are for treatment, taking the time to show what things look like. She's very proactive and her practice professional. Our whole family are patients and I recommend you consider becoming a patient of her practice as well- you won't regret it !

    Great, no-nonsense Dr. She does things quickly and gets a lot accomplished. She's the first dentist that I have had a great experience with numbing my mouth and administering needles so I don't feel anything! Dr. Lau's great!

    Been searching for years but I think I found my for ever dentist. Dr. Lou is very friendly, caring, professional and most of, great at her job. Very knowledgeable, explains every detail to you, and makes you feel very comfortable. Her office staff is top notch and inform you of costs and Dr. Lou never keeps you waiting and always keeps you informed and updated on future appointments. If you are looking for a dentist, give her a try. You won't be sorry. Michael G. Straehle

    I had gum problems for years. Dr. Lou gave me a deep cleaning last summer and two 3-month follow-up cleanings, and now my gum is totally healthy. No pain, no itch, all in heathy pink, and no more loss of bone! I am so grateful that I found Dr. Lou!

    My dentist name is Dr. Lou she is so so good. She had to extract a piece of my tooth that was in deep in my gum. I was so scared because I don't like needles and low tolerance of pain. I have had bad experiences with dentist's. She made me feel so comfortable and she was very understanding and gentle. Dr. Lou spoke to me thru the procedure to make sure I wasn't in pain she is a great and very very good dentist she even called me the same night to make sure I was okay and I was. I will tell my friends and family about my experience with her she is definitely my dentist for good. Again Thank You Miss Green

    I have been seeing Dr. Lou for a little less than 1 year now. I absolutely love her. She always makes me feel calm and relaxed. She takes the best care of me and is always available. I had a broken filling on Christmas Eve and she opened the office just so that I wouldn't have to go through the holiday in discomfort. She is very good and takes the time to educate her patients.

    Dr Lou, cleaned one side of my mouth, but do to her being understaffed, a lot of things she has to handle on her own, which took some time away from me. so we reschedule for a second visit which got canceled because of her front desk worker not being there to open and she herself arrived a little late. Once I spoke to her about my disappointment, she offered me , free of charge, to finish my teeth. The same day. Without distractions from her team. Thank You

    (Translated by Google) I was merely looking for a local hygienist as I had zero knowledge of my dental health. Instead, at iLove Dental Care, I learned all about my teeth and how to care for them. And why dental health matters more than just "looking good" Discussing my teeth in both Chinese Mandarin and English with Dr. Yali Lou, is both language and cultural enrichment I have long missed. I only wanted to find a dental hygienist because I didn't know anything about the health of my teeth. But I got knowledge about dental care and nursing at iLove Dental Care. And why it's not just for (the teeth) beauty. Tong Lou Yanli (transliteration) The doctor alternately used Mandarin and English to discuss my teeth is a long-lost language and cultural enrichment.

    I am a new client but have been there for several months, cleanings, fillings and root chanal. It has always been a pleasant experience from beginning to end and they are doing a great job going out of their way to make things happen with my insurance. I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist!

    Dr.Lou took out my wisdom teeth and it was so quick. My recovery has been smooth; I was only sore for 1 day after the extraction and there was no swelling or bruising!

    Dr. Lou takes practicing dentistry very seriously, and cares about her patients. Her passion for dentistry really drives her to give her patients the quality care they deserve. I know I felt comfortable knowing that she really took the time to talk with me and help better understand the importance about my dental health. UPDATE: I Got my wisdom tooth extracted today by Dr.Lou, and it was the smoothest and cleanest extraction I've have seen yet. And we all know that wisdom teeth extractions army always the best. Little to no pain, and she got it out in one piece. Safe to say her skill and expertise are amazing !
