Doctor took extra effort to walk me through the diagnosis using photographs of my teeth. It helped me understand the treatment plan.
Verified patient
Great experience. Very thorough examination, clear explanation of my dental situation. Prompt, professional, would come back for future needs.
Verified patient
This was my first visit. Filled out my paperwork and got right in. Had some xrays and quickly got started on my cleaning. The Dr. came in after the cleaning and took some pictures of my teeth to use as references to discuss what was going on with my teeth. We discussed my options and scheduled my needed follow ups. Overall a very good visit.
Verified patient
The staff are all friendly, and very thorough. I hadn't had my teeth cleaned in a while and they spent as much time as they needed to make sure that they were fully cleaned. I also didn't have to wait at all - I was seen as soon as my appointment time came around. Dr. Wu was also friendly and knowledgeable.
Verified patient
I went in for a dental cleaning expecting to be done in 45 min but it took 1.5 hours. The assistant who took my xrays kept messing up and I think she took at least 15 (not exaggerating here). In addition, the thing they stick in your mouth to do the xrays looked like it was reused with bite marks on the plastic. I definitely felt a little grossed out. The dentist doesn't actually do the cleaning, a different assistant did it. She was nice and gentle. Upon finishing the cleaning, I was walked out and handed a bill of future services I needed. No explanation at all about what they were. I felt like just an opportunity for them to make money off of. The dentist was very nonchalant when I asked for more specifics about the services I needed. If you're going to be charging me, I'd at least like to know what you're doing. I'm going elsewhere to have my fillings replaced.
Excellent dentist, dental hygienist, and staff! Dr. Wu had excellent detail to attention and took time to explain results and corrective actions. Would recommend!
Verified patient
Deanna Wu, DDS, was very professional and definitely had a lot of expert knowledge to share. The premises were noticeably fresh and upscale. The receptionist was polite and courteous. All of the very latest technology was in use. The dental office was in a safe neighborhood, with ample underground parking. It appeared that there was free coffee in the waiting area.
Verified patient
Amazing experience!
It was my first visit with Dr Wu. I found the entire staff, not just Dr Wu, very welcoming and professional. I particularly liked being able to see the digital photos of my teeth, as they really helped when Dr Wu explained some dental issues I have. Thanks for the excellent experience!
Verified patient
Great. Everyone was very nice and informative
Dr Wu was very professional and explained the reasoning behind her decisions as opposed to purely prescribing. I appreciated this very much. The office staff are very upbeat and responsive.
Dr. Wu has professional bed side manner and takes the time to explain the treatment to you. However, her office email and appointment system is a disaster. I called in to reschedule an appointment and never got a call back. I get multiple texts, emails and phone calls to confirm appointments and remind me that I have appointments from the email system. Its aggravating!
Verified patient
Too many unnecessary procedures recommended
Deanna knew what she was doing and related specifics about my treatment with detail and clarity, which I appreciated. She and her staff were clear about what I could expect in terms of risks, prevention of complications, and immediate and long term expectations for the state of my teeth and gums, and what to expect regarding the price of treatment. I would recommend them.
I have had bad experiences with Dentists in general, but I can honestly say that this is the first time that I enjoyed my visit. The chair gave me a massage while my teeth cleaning was done. It was so relaxing I fell asleep a couple of times. Super nice staff, very helpful. Highly recommend :)
Dr. Wu and her staff are absolutely phenomenal !!!! I arranged an initial visit online and received no less than 4 reminders through Zoc Doc. I was greeted by Alyssa who is incredibly pleasant to interact with both on the phone and in person. I was taken by Jane to start the visit before I could even finish the scant amount of paperwork for an initial visit. She is so very proficient in her work but so very friendly and attentive. And although I only interacted with her briefly, Mela also was very kind and pleasant. As to Dr. Wu, I cannot say enough good things about this provider. So very knowledgable and professional but at the same time so genuinely caring and concerned about providing the best care but very mindful of cost. As a healthcare provider myself, I can honestly say that she and her office staff take patient care to a different level. I was initially seen in the am and they extended their schedule on an already busy day to accommodate my need for immediate care and did so in a very gracious manner. I am just incredibly impressed by Dr. Wu and her staff and would highly recommend this office to everyone I know.
Dr. Wu is the best. She is a wonderful dentist and I know I'm in good hands when I have my appointments. The massage chairs are an added bonus. Very happy with the service and highly recommend.
I've gotten my best teeth cleanings from Dr. Wu. i feel that she does a very detailed job and has given me great feedback on how to keep my teeth and gums healthy. I've also gotten a tooth filled, retainers and night guard from her and have always been satisfied! i would definitely recommend going to see Dr. Wu.
Verified patient
She is good, friendly and explains everything really well. But she did some filling on some of my teeth without informing me about it. I would have expected to discuss such a major thing before it was done on my teeth. I did not even know that those teeth needed filling. That's not too professional.
The dentist was great and really explained in depth any concerns or things that may become concerns. The general office seemed a little less hygienic than other offices I've been in, but there is no stars for that particular area.
Verified patient
Dr Wu and her staff are the best. I really appreciate that they always go above and beyond to help me get the most benefit out of my insurance. No other office has spent that much time on my behalf. They also try hard to work around my schedule which is really nice too!
Dr. Wu is awesome -- very diligent, nicest staff ever. Felt like she really took to the time to help me understand all that's going on in my mouth. Happy to have found a great dentist in my new home!
Dr. Wu was great and her staff were very friendly and accommodating. I liked that she is up to date on current technology and uses digital xrays and camera. I've never seen my teeth up close like that! Would definitely recommend!
I love going to see Dr. Wu. She has comfy massage chairs in the rooms. It helps with the anxiety of being at the dental office! Nothing like getting your teeth worked on and having a massage at the same time. Definitely recommend.
Great service. In and out. Painless. Recommend!
I am impressed by the amount of time that Dr. Wu takes to examine your teeth and educate you on preventative measures, as well as treatment options. She also is very personable and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend her to family and friends.
Verified patient
I was happy with the experience. Went in for a crown and Dr. Wu was able to finish it all in one day! Dr. Wu has this cool machine that makes crowns in the office. I remember when it used to be two appointments. Very convenient and (even though I like Dr. Wu and her office) I'm glad I don't have to go back a second time!
Dr. Wu and her staff were all extremely considerate and thoughtful. They carefully explained all of their steps and did a thorough understanding of my medical history and current conditions. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking for a new dentist in the area!
Verified patient
I've been going to Dr. Wu for about 5 years, and have had various procedures. She has always kept me informed about the process and her long term treatment plan has kept my teeth in good shape, which is healthy & cost effective.
Dr. Wu and her staff are friendly, knowledgeable, compassionate and so willing to go the extra mile to make me comfortable. I always look forward to my visits :)
Dr. Deanna Wu and the staff are very professional. Nice dental work done every time. Being able to get in and out on time. Always feel it is a pleasure for my family to have Dr. D. Wu as our dentist.
