I saw Dr. Yabu in order to get a dental device created for sleep apnea and my experiences with both him and his office staff were great. He's direct, friendly, and knowledgeable, and his staff was very pleasant and timely as well. I never had to wait more than a minute or two to be seen. They were upfront about all costs and scheduling was a breeze. Recommended!

I thought that I had a good initial visit. I was traveling due to family emergency and when I returned 3 - 4 weeks later, I had received approximately 5 or 6 notices for $11. Later I received an email with just a copy of a statement for $11 due which I thought was very unprofessional. Before I left my first appointment, I was asked to get my X-rays from previous dentist and email to the office for evaluation for next steps. I have emailed the X-rays a few times but there has been no followup with the exception of the $11 invoice. When I returned from my travels, I delivered a $11 check to the office.

I have always had very positive experiences with Drs. Lim, Yabu and staff. They are very caring and professional. They use all safety precautions to ensure that their patients as well as the providers are protected from the spread of COVID-19 while still providing quality service. I highly recommend this dentistry.

We are new patients to "Lim and Yabu" (mom, dad, daughter) and everything went really well! No long waits, really friendly and helpful staff, and most importantly no painful procedures! Dr's Lim and Yabu are interactive, conversational - which is so nice. We loved our former dentist (retired) but are thrilled to have discovered this practice and door to door, arrived at their office in less than 10 minutes!

I had 4 problem teeth with pockets. I was told that I should go to a periodontist by my dentist of 25 years, for a consultation. In fact I went to two, and each said I needed gum surgery, costing thousands, and each admitted that the surgery may not improve my condition. Since I went through that painful, unsuccessful procedure several years before, I was looking for an alternative. I went to see Dr. Lim, and after evaluation, he suggested the lanap procedure. No pain, easy recovery. One year later, three pockets have improved dramatically. He is an excellent, well informed dentist, and I would strongly recommend him.

I've been a patient at Lim and Yabu for 13 years and plan to continue. The office is welcoming, the staff gentle and patient, and the dentists are very knowledgeable. You can depend on them for top-flight service and care.
