Everything was great! I'm not a fan of going to the dentist. But this staff was helpful and caring took their time, the Dr explained everything he was doing didn't rush . I will definitely be going back here and I recommend my friends and family to this office.

We have been going to Palm Court Dental for over 3 years now. The staff and the dentist are the best. After several bad experiences with dentists in the past, we have finally found the best dentist. My 11 year old daughter looks forward to her dentist appointments because they are very caring, and professional and the atmosphere is very calm. I highly recommend Dr. Chung!

The office is very nice and well kept. The staff is all very friendly and welcoming. The hygienist was nice and did a very good job at cleaning my teeth and Dr. Chung did my exam and was very nice. 10 out of 10 would recommend people visit Palm Court Dental for their dental needs. I have sent many family and friends there with all positive outcomes.
