“Dr. Lee is wonderful! She takes the time to show you exactly what’s going on with your teeth and involves you in the decision-making process. The office team is also top-notch—they were very helpful with insurance, offered me an earlier appointment, and provided helpful cost estimates before I left. No surprises, no wait times, and very kind staff. I feel much more confident in my dental health plan now.”

“The most honest and skilled dentist I’ve ever met.
She is hands down the best dentist. What impressed me most was her honesty. Instead of pushing for expensive treatments, she focused entirely on my situation and suggested the most cost-effective options. She even told me where I could get certain procedures done more affordably, proving she cares more about the patient than her own profit.
I had a chipped tooth, and she repaired it so perfectly that you can’t even tell! She clearly explained why a crown wasn't necessary and offered a great alternative that saved me a lot of money. Her work is flawless, and her integrity is unmatched. Highly recommend!”

I had an outstanding first visit with Dr., In Young Lee, DMD. The entire team, at Thyme Dental Care from the moment, I walked in, was incredible welcoming and professional. The waiting area was clean and comfortable. I brought my husband along with me, because he’s looking for a new change for 2026. My hygienist Maria was very gentle and friendly with me. Dr. In Young Lee explained how to prepare for my next appointment with deep cleaning. I highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a new dental change in 2026. Thank you, Dr In Young Lee.

Loved the office staff. Everyone was friendly and informative. I wasn’t seen by this dentist, I was seen by her colleague but nonetheless my experience was positive.

Always love visiting Dr Lee’s office! It was my first visit since before covid and I was reminded how friendly and professional the staff are. Highly recommend.
November 1, 2021James A.Verified patient
Dr. Lee was very good at explaining things and was very professional. The dental hygienist in her office was also great, probably the most thorough dental cleaning I’ve had thus far. -1 star because I booked the appointment way in advance and they said they don’t always sync to Zocdoc so sometimes the appointment doesn’t actually get booked until you call so make sure you contact them on top of the Zocdoc appointment to secure the date. Other than that, good dentist.

Great! Great! Great!
August 25, 2021Andre R.Verified patient
Let me preface this review by saying I truly despise going to the dentist and Dr Young Lee and her husband have completely changed that for me in the last 4 years. They are so kind, patient and gentle. I've had a number of cleanings, fillings, a wisdom tooth extracted and a whitening done at their offices and all have been really pleasant. If you are looking for a new dentist who is gentle and patient I HIGHLY recommend Dr Young Lee and Dr Flores!
August 2, 2021Monica A.Verified patient
Office was clean, staff was friendly, and Dr. Lee made me feel like she was actually interested in my oral health. Many dentist look in your mouth for any reason to bill you. Your a payday and not a patient. I didn't get that vibe at all from Dr Lee. And my mouth looks and feels so much cleaner for it!
