My first day at this location was in January. Helen treated me with so much kindness and respect it felt like a family member was tending to me. I'm back in July for cleaning and she is still a shining light even on gloomy days. Very respectable, no long waits.
I am very grateful to RDA Helen for the excellent cleaning of my teeth. She was very gentle and attentive throughout the whole procedure. She is very friendly, caring, and highly professional.
I had a really great experience with Dr. Lai and his team. He is incredibly kind, sweet, and genuinely caring. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, which made me feel comfortable and informed throughout my visit.
