    Dr. Lum was great. Spent a lot of time with me and felt like he puts a lot of effort into his practice. Will definitely recommend to others and happy I was able to find him.

    Dr. Lum gave me a very good experience. He took time time to know your teeth history and give you a proper suggestion. Besides that he provided a very detail cleaning treatment.

    My first time with this office. It is a big office and they greeted me with a smile. The biggest upside of this place is that they care about you, take their time and explain everything thoroughly and carefully including your other options and your benefits. After filling out the documents, they took some X-rays and then Dr. Lum started to examine my teeth. He talked about what my needs are, what are the options and how the process works. We created a long term plan to take care of my needs, one at a time, and then Dr. Lum started to clean my teeth. Overall, it took me about 2 hours but I do not have any complaints about anything. Will come back hopefully for a long time.

    Wow, this is a really cool link to help people find a good dentist. Had too many issues in the past and even better that I get $60 dollar gift card for them just referring me and ke rating them. Now I can get a pair of kicks from Nike and have a better dentist!! Thank you Open Care, very much!!

    I have zero complaints about Brilliant Smiles. Private parking, nice modern office, super clean inside, and Dr. Lum has a fantastic bedside manner. Very friendly, professional, and makes you feel at ease. Maryann at the reception desk is really sweet, she stayed on the phone with me as my headphones kept cutting out…4 times. Most would have hung up after the 2nd time. I particularly enjoy the large TV screen by your chair, the ocean scenery they stream is relaxing and I loved being able to see my X-rays that zoomed in.

    Reviewed on June 25th, 2018  •  Verified patient
    I didn't feel any pressure on anything. Dr. Robert Lum did the checkup and the cleanup. The office is very modern, clean and not open which I like. I hate seeing other people and being looked at by other during treatment. They have small areas for each patient. I would recommend and will come back.

  • Not only did my teeth get clean, but I had a good time (something I never thought I would say after going to the dentist).
    Reviewed on May 14th, 2018  •  Verified patient
    Going to the dentist is something I hadn't done in years. I've had anxiety about it and the longer I waited, the more likely it was that I was never going to see a dentist again. Opencare was great because it gave me an incentive to just do it. Dr. Robert Lum was great because he completely removed the anxiety and gave me a great teeth cleaning and check-up. As it turns out, my teeth weren't in as bad of a shape as I thought and I really just needed to floss more (not a surprise). Thanks to Dr. Lum, I'm taking a renewed focus on my dental health and my anxiety has decreased dramatically.
