“Dr. Chen was phenomenal! All around welcoming, comforting, friendly, helpful, and efficient. I have been a patient of Grand Dentistry for about 4 years. I have always had positive experiences, however, this was my first time with Dr. Chen. In a world with so much going on all around us, and being the last patient of the day, it would have been easy and understandable to have a negative attitude, rush the services, etc. However, from the moment I walked in, the nurse who assisted Dr. Chen and Dr. Chen were a breath of fresh air and truly appreciated. They gave the experience the extra touch and I would recommend to anyone.”

I was nervous cause it was my first time going to a dentist in this city. I was in a lot of pain and wasn't sure how serious was my problem. The efficiency and professionalism was incredible, and they patiently answered all my questions. I'm recommending this dentist/place to all my friends.

Dr Chen cleans my teeth and she is awesome. A few of my previous experiences with other doctors feel a little bit pain on gum but she took it carefully and no pain at all!!!

As someone who took an embarrassing amount of time off between dental appointments, it was nice how Dr. McLean and his team were understanding and kind about it.
I was also very happy to note that there wasn't any attempts to up sell or convince me to undergo unnecessary procedures. They professionally and amicably treated my for the cleaning and check-up I had come in for - nothing else!

Nobody likes to go to the dentist, but with this practice, I actually manage to go twice a year. There is never wait time, they are very thorough and knowledgeable. No money making unnecessary treatments!
