Such a great, pleasant experience! Dr. Shen has a compassionate bedside manner and I never felt rushed. The office was clean and modern, the staff were friendly and Dr. Shen even took a scan of my mouth so I could see everything he was talking about. He even removed a stain on my front tooth that I was worried was there to stay! Definitely coming back

I like the feel of the office, and the doctor seems like she knows what she's doing. She's given me good advice on my 64 year old teeth. The front desk and the dental hygienist are also very personable. I don't have any negatives.
