    Dr. Ricardo Salazar De Ala was very nice. I feel comfortable during the treatment. The good thing is they have an assistant who speaks mandarin, which helps me better communicate with the doctor.

    He is a great dentist. His office is immaculate, modern, & welcoming. I had a routine checkup & cleaning and it was the best I ever had. My teeth look beautiful. He found some cavities & I made another appointment immediately to get them filled.

    I came at the scheduled time. There wasn't any delay after we set our foot in. Prompt service here. They immediately started looking into our service request. Overall I'm happy with their service.

    This appointment was a super smooth and easy experience. The whole location is really nice and new, and honestly, it felt like a spa. The front desk and their communication with me was awesome, they were very personable, nice, cool, (all the good descriptors), etc. To start, since it was my first time here, I did a bunch of X-rays. and the assistant(?) helping me was super nice and put a lot of effort to do it quickly for me. Then I finally met Dr. Rick who was also extremely nice and personable through the whole experience, making me feel comfortable the whole time. As far as the actual cleaning I had done, he did an awesome job and was very efficient and thorough about the whole thing. He also was great in answering all my questions, which was of course appreciated. The whole experience felt very refined, which I guess you can expect since he's been in the business for quite a number of years at this point. Usually people don't say this, but I truly am looking forward to my next dentist appointment. :-)

    Dr. Ricardo was great, very thoughtful and professional. Staff was very helpful and the place was very relaxing as well. Doctor gave me tips to help maintain strong teeth. He took time to clean up and was very professional. I would recommend it to everyone. Thank you!

He thought about what was the best course of action for me and got me in to do the procedures I needed as soon as possible without wasting any of my time waiting. His assistants were really helpful in every conceivable way. I thoroughly enjoyed the care I received.
