    My visit consisted of multiple hello’s and very much needed friendly interactions for a place that makes me feel so nervous and self-conscious. Overall, this was the first time I actually enjoyed going to the dentist.

    This was my first visit to Dr. Lee and she was great. Very friendly and non judgemental. Her team (her assistant and dental hygienist) were great as well. They explained everything well, were very friendly. Overall a great first experience.

    Dr. Lee was amazing, very kind and explained in great detail how to maintain the health of my teeth. The front desk was very receptive and kind as well as the person that cleaned my teeth. Will come back, and recommend her highly to new patients

    I recently visited Smiles on Lawrence Dental for a dental check-up, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The staff was friendly, the clinic was clean, and the dentist was thorough and informative. I felt well taken care of and left with a confident smile. Highly recommended!

    I recently visited Dr. Lee's dental clinic for the first time, and it was truly exceptional! The staff was incredibly nice, friendly, and accommodating, making me feel comfortable right from the start. Dr. Lee was highly professional, she had a gentle touch which greatly reduced any discomfort or pain (actually, no pain at all!) The clinic was clean, modern, and well-equipped with advanced dental technology. Based on my experience, I have found my family dentist in Dr. Lee. I highly recommend Dr. Lee's dental clinic for exceptional dental care. From the friendly staff to Dr. Lee's professionalism, the experience was fantastic. I am grateful for the positive experience and look forward to my next appointment.

    Meeting Dr. So Young Lee was great! She made sure to introduce herself as soon as I was just about to get my X-rays and cleaning done with my dental hygienist, Ina. She then came in again after my cleaning to examine and explain any findings in regards to my dental health. She was so patient and detailed and made sure I understood everything before I left. Thanks to you all.

    As a cement finisher for highrise condo construction, my schedule changes on a day to day basis on an extreme scale. This practice went above and beyond to accommodate me and the service I recieved was the best I have ever had. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a dentist to try Smiles on Lawrence. It was a seamless and high quality experiance and this practice will be my dental office from now on.

    I had a great experience with Dr. S Young Lee! She's super chill and didn't make me feel like she needed me to finance her next vacation by signing up for veneers and other expensive niceties, as other dentists have done. She is down to earth and friendly, and the whole practice has a nice, relaxed and friendly vibe. I also found everyone there to be super efficient. I hate spending time at any type of appointment and I really hate when dentists make you wait around forever because they are seeing 10 patients at once. I was in and out in a reasonable amount of time, which I really appreciated. Will definitely go back!

    Doctors are very honest about the condition of the teeth even when they are good. They did not ask for undue treatments to be done. I found their suggestions very reasonable and apt. Hygienist did a great job at teeth cleaning. I would recommend Dr Young to anyone requiring help with their teeth.
