    Dr. Nami Cho was very kind and clear in explaining things to me. The clinic itself was very clean and the staffs were nice too. Dr. Cho was also in detail in cleaning my teeth.

    Nami and her staff are friendly and caring. I generally have a hard time getting X-ray of my mouth. They were accommodating and made sure I did the X-ray with no pain.

    The best experience I've had with a dentist! Wonderful, attentive, and friendly staff who gave me a very personalized experience. I had a lot of facetime with Dr. Cho and she patiently explained everything that was going to happen during the appointment and why. She also took time to explain in detail her findings during the check-up and my options for treatment. The cleaning was thorough and not rushed. My appointment started on time and they never kept me waiting. I highly recommend her office!

    Dr. Cho was the best and most thorough dentist I've ever seen! Great cleaning experience and I feel I can really trust her expertise. It's also the first dentist I've ever gone to where they sit with you to go over your insurance and exactly what it covers. Will definitely continue my dental care with her and her wonderful staff.

    These guys were friggin' awesome. I've been to so many dentists who grill you over dental hygiene, and are generally rude and unprofessional. Dr Cho was polite, professional, listened to my questions, and more importantly came up with a straightforward, to-the-point game plan to get my teeth back in good health. Also the dental assistant was very funny and friendly. I'd highly recommend these folks.

    Dr. Cho, her assistant, and her office administrator are all wonderful! They were so kind, chipper, and very welcoming. I don't have any fears or issues related to dental work, but they all still made an effort to be gentle, and walk through the dental "mumbo jumbo." I even got an insurance break down on what's covered and what would be out of pocket (for treatments) - which I've never had before (I usually have to figure it out for myself, or take the word of the staff checking me in/out). All in all, between the great visit, the excellent location, and the great cleaning, I am happy to have found Dr. Cho and already have my next cleaning booked!

    Had a wonderful experience! Quite frankly the best dentist experience I’ve ever had. Everyone on the team was friendly, accomodating, professional and really cared for your well-being. Would highly recommend anyone to go here, especially those with dental anxiety! Unrelated to the office, parking is very limited in the area and garages don’t validate!

    Dr. Cho and her staff are amazing. Upon entering the office, I was walked into the dental room right away. I’ve never been to a doctor more punctual. Since i was a new patient we talked through my dental history and what i expected out of the visit. 10/10 would come again, my teeth cleaning was so thorough i felt like i left with whiter teeth!

There attention to detail and the quality of service is one of the best I've been to. Will stick with Nami now as our primary dentist. Thanks again all for your caring and wonderful service.

    Dr. Cho made sure that all my needs were taken care of. My visit was quick and easy and they were able to provide cleaning on the first day of visit. Also, she was very clear in terms of making sure my veneer procedure will all go well and coordinate with my Orthodontist to make sure the entire process will be seamless. She was also very friendly and not intimidating.
