An incredible doctor and dentist!! She is truly the best dentist I have been to in my life and felt completely safe and well treated. Was very worried about my wisdom tooth and had scary experiences outside nyc but with Dr. Ko, the procedure was painless and completely fine in her fine hands. She truly cares about each and every patient and has the best bedside manner I have ever experienced. She is exceptional.

Dr. Ko is the best! I have been a patient of Dr. Ko for the past 5 years, since I moved to the area. She is very sweet and attentive. She was also genuine and suggested avoiding invasive procedures when it wasn't necessary. So glad I chose this practice.

Dr. Joy is the best dentist I've ever seen! She was very thorough and clear in what she would be doing, going through with me. What she saw on X-rays and exams, and was very gentle in the exam and cleaning. Attentive to my questions and clear in recommendations in what to watch and improve on. Highly recommend!
