All the staff are kind, and I think Dr. Kao is the best dentist in L.A. I had a tooth extracted by him, and I didn't feel any pain. He has a light touch. I will definitely go back to him if I have any more tooth problems. My whole family goes to him for dental care.
Dr. Kao and his team were wonderful. I had a cracked molar and they were able to fit me in quickly. The entire experience was efficient, professional, and seamless. I highly recommend Dr. Kao and his team for their exceptional care and service.
I'm still in the process of getting a dental implant, so far the experience has been amazing. Dr. Kao and the staff are very friendly and informative! I love the care and service I receive each time I visit the office. I highly recommend them!!
