I would recommend to all my family and friends. He is very helpful in explaining everything and was very gentle with my cleaning. Going to the dentist can be very stressful and painful at times but Dr. Chu was very kind and helped me feel
Comfortable and relaxed during my visit. I also liked the cozy feel of the office, small but had everything you need.

Dan is fantastic and I always refer my friends and coworkers to him. I’ve been with his office for almost 20 years and never regretted it. His prices are fair, he is clear about the work to be done and does his best to set you at ease. His staff is great and helpful. His office is very convenient and has no parking charge.

Not my first time to see the dentist . I don’t live in the area just return for work periodically and I can always get an appointment
November 12, 2022Elizabeth M.Verified patient
I have been to this provider for routine cleanings and to have some issues addressed. This is one of the most efficient dental offices I've ever visited, The appointments are well scheduled and the Doctor and staff are prepared to manage your visit and get you on your way.

Dr Chu is very knowledgeable and avoids selling you unnecessary procedures. However, he is somewhat negligent. He is always in a rush, like several other reviewers have said, yet he expects you to be patient. I have had several tooth fillings with him. Two of them have to be done again within a week just because they were not properly done the first time. One of my teeth that he has filled (and refilled) still hurts.

Dr Chu was recommended by a neighbor as I recently moved. He was polite and communicated clearly; however, I made the appointment to have my teeth cleaned--not to have a comprehensive dental exam which he focused 95% of the appointment on. He spent much time talking about what and why he recommends the things he did, and spent less than a total of 4 minutes on actually cleaning my teeth. The initial cleaning with the metal instrument was finished in less than 100 seconds, about 2 minutes to apply the gritty minty polish, and a minute to floss, which he also managed to yank the floss so roughly my lips were smarting for an hour afterwards, and remained tender through the next day. I would be doing a disservice to recommend anyone to him.

Great customer care
February 7, 2022Roman M.Verified patient
Great Staff and Dentistry office. Brittany will definitely make sure to assist you in any way she can. Dr. Chu definitely gets the work done in a timely fashion and knows what he is talking about for your treatment. I had fillings in my mouth since I was young and he took care of every last one. Painful moment but he made sure I was comfortable
December 3, 2021Mable J.Verified patient
Great Doc and staff. My treatments have each been carefully and efficiently executed, but never felt rushed. Both the work and the billing was well explained.
November 11, 2021Shannon M.Verified patient
The front desk was really nice and so is the office. The doctor's bedside manners are okay...he's a bit curt and I felt like he could've been more attentive to my concerns. This was my first appointment with him so hopefully it's better next time I visit.
