    Dr. Pan was friendly, professional, and set me at my ease. Scheduling was done quickly, and the follow-up appointment was equally convenient. I look forward to a continued cliency with her.

    Excellent, professional service by the staff at this clinic. They were up front and very good at communicating what I need to do and how to get it all done. No complaints, it was all nice and easy

    Very professional yet friendly. Very thorough and made me feel comfortable even though it had been far too long since I had been to the dentist. Took the time to explain the examinations and the needed care.

    Great experience, fast and efficient service! Helene did an excellent job of keeping me informed about regular dental hygiene and the importance of flossing daily. Dr. Pan is very knowledgeable in her field, she conducted my exam with professionalism and skill.

    It was a great first visit with Dr. Pan. She took her time to explain every step of the exams and the results as well. I felt very comfortable and am happy that I found a great dentist that I feel I can trust.

    My first visit at Excel Dental was Fantastic. The staff are super friendly, professional, and very thorough. They explained and consulted along the way. The office is also really nice, and TVs on the ceiling when you’re getting your teeth cleaned is definitely an added bonus :)

    Dr. Pan was extremely thorough. We left knowing that she had taken care to leave no stone unturned as it were in assessing our dental health. The one I would say is that the cleaning was quite uncomfortable. It was a different machine than I'm used to so that might be part of it, but both my wife and I had quite painful cleanings when it was all said and done.

    Dr. Pan was amazing ! I haven’t visited the dentist in YEARS ! And she was patient with me and very descriptive on the issues I had as well as aftercare. However, I didn’t receive a gift bag (toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, etc) unfortunately

    I had not been to a dentist in a few years, and this experience was great. They've booked me in for my next two appointments, which is the type of organization and service I need to commit to coming.

    I had a great experience with this dental office. Everyone is friendly, and they explain why they do the different things they do and what it means. It doesn't at all seem like they're just trying to make a quick buck, or ruin your mouth so you keep coming back. They actually care and want things to get better. Small office, but I highly recommend it!

    Dr. Pan was very friendly and thorough. I wish that she had explained what she was doing throughout my exam as I’m the kind of person who finds it comforting to know what’s happening throughout the process. I found the location convenient, and particularly appreciated how easy it was to access by public transport. My hygienist Aileen was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

    Dr. Susan R Pan and her assistant are very professional and nice. They were respectful to how I was feeling as well and checked in with me through out my wisdom teeth removal surgery to make sure everything was okay. I will be returning to her in the future.

    Dr Pan is very thorough and understanding. She is kind and professional. My past dentist would create fillings to fill and prior to switching I had a “filling” that needed to be filled, but dr pan said I was clear. She also made sure that my coverage would cover BEFORE the appointment started.

    Never had a better experience at a dentist office. The staff is amazing and friendly. The office is well kept and comfortable. They even give you sunglasses to wear while being examined so the light doesn't bother your eyes. Also got to watch TV while sitting in the chair. Great overall experience, I highly recommend this dentist.

    Dr. Pan and her hygienist were very friendly and personable. After I told them my concerns from my last dentist, I felt like they actually cared and were careful not to treat me the same way. I felt like that actually cared about my dental health, and not just about making a buck off of me.
