    Dr. Yu is very detailed, offers pertinent treatment solutions, discusses in length about your concerns and works with you to find a treatment that's best suited to you. Also the staff at his practice from the receptionist to the hygienist are all welcoming and make you feel at home.

    Dr Yu and his team are excellent! They genuinely cared about my oral health and I felt like their priority was making sure that my teeth/gums are healthy. So glad that I found them on opencare!

    Dr. Yu was really nice and patient with the consultation and helping me through the entire process. He was also rather considerate when asking about my comfort during the cleaning process. Had a great conversation with him overall.

    I have been looking for an honest dentist that doesn't try to upsell you on things you don't need. Dr.Yu spent time personally with me to ensure all of my cleaning was properly done. I liked how knowledgeable he was about some of the issues I was facing, and how he was able to provide insights that my previous dentists couldn't.

    The staff were very professional and welcoming. I appreciated Dr. Yu's attentiveness and effort in making sure the patient could follow along with each step of the process. It was a great experience and I think it significantly eases the anxiety of going to the dentist!

    This was my first meeting with Dr. Yu. His team is completely professional and very friendly. This first visit was two hours and very thorough. We came away with a good plan, and Dr. Yu and the hygienist who worked with me explained everything very well.

    Honestly the best experience I’ve had with a dentist. The entire staff is amazing, attentive, and great. They all took their time, everything was explained and I felt comfortable to ask questions. He’s a dentist who cares for his patients and I’m happy I found my dentist in San Jose.

    The staff was friendly and professional, the office has state of the art equipment. The dentist and hygienist were extremely gentle and thorough with explaining to me all of the procedures that needed to be done. I felt very comfortable and will definitely return to receive the recommendations that were presented to me for future treatments.

    It was a pleasant first visit experience. Dr Yu explained all the procedures done to me, from the xray to his overall assessment of my dental hygiene. He suggested some treatments and discussed the pros and cons. His office staff Jessica and his assistant Lizet were the best. Thank you Forest Dentistry. We'll definitely see each other again.

    I have been to many dentists, and Dr. Yu is the only one who has been extremely thorough with my exam. He does not just clean and go, like many dentists. You are a valued patient to him. Highly recommend him for sure!!

    This was my first dental experience in US. Dr. Yu asked me about my expectation from this dental service and then suggested a detailed plan on how it can be achieved. He is very friendly and knowledgeable person. He has a good staff who will walk you through all details about your appointment and out of pocket cost. They will also remind you about your upcoming appointment. My overall experience was very good.

    I've been struggling to find a good dentist to come to since I've had such bad experiences from my last two locations, and I can honestly say I've never had such a smooth welcoming great experience with a dentist team like I have here.
