DR. Wu is a great dentist very knowledgeable, he always willing explain the process steps to me before the service. I have never experienced the pain during the service, I like the way the doctor given the injection to my gum I fell nothing at all. Also the dentist assistants are very nice there too! Cory the hygienist is very friendly and carefully cleaned and polished my teeth with a good rinse of water every step during the cleaning, made me feel very good. She was warm, gentle and fun to have conversation with. Overall, i had a very positive experience with this office. Highly recommend to everyone that looking for a dentist!

Signature Smiles has been the most outstanding dental practice with impeccable quality and personal attention from all of the staff and doctors. This is the only dental practice to use, others are not quite at this level.

Dr. Wu is the best dentist I have ever had hands down! He's amazing! His use of acupressure before giving me a shot to numb my mouth was epic! I didn't even know he was giving me a shot. I thought he was still just examining my teeth. The dental hygienists are knowledgeable and take time to explain what they're doing. The staff are efficient and take care of business. I appreciate that they have a call list if they have a cancellation. Great patient care from the entire staff. I highly recommend them to anyone. All my friends are family are jealous because they live too far away to be one of his patients.

First cavity ever. I was frankly concerned about the drill, have heard that sound my whole life and knew I wanted no part of it. Signature Smiles have the best touch, I didn't feel a thing, not even the needle. Amazing.

Dentist is not my favorite place to be, But Dr Wu and his staff made my visit very comfortable. I loved how Dr Wu was very thorough in explaining what he and I need to do to get me back to enjoying eating and not being so self conscious of smiling. I'm looking forward to the journey. Thanks Signature Smiles!!!!

I got the best cleaning recently from Kyra. I always get great care and service at Signature Smiles. Kyra motivated me to use my waterpik to keep my gums healthier and I've been doing it daily. So grateful to have such a good dentist/hygienist!

Our family have been long-time clients of Drs. Wu and Dowd at Signature Smiles. The doctors and staff are top-notch. They are kind, compassionate, helpful, and professional. They treat us like family. The facility is beautifully decorated and comfortable. The office manager, Christine, is also awesome! You really feel like you've got the entire business looking out for you.
