“Great, all very clear explanation of what needed to be done. Insurance not really an issue cuz at the end yiu dend the bill to your insurance if u have one so yiu will get a qualified refund.
Been with Dr Vo since sge bought the practice, I would not change offices. Had emergencies in the passed and always been fixed in no time.”

“The office is beautifully organized, our DDS was prompt in saying hello before the dental cleaning was started. Then she discussed my teeth stuff with her dental worker and me---and good results, information about the things I have had since my previous dentist.
VERY good day!

Dr. Vo's office never followed up with me to book the next appointment as I expected them to. So I sort of just drifted off and stopped being a patient. They contacted me years later about a mis-billing where I owed them more money and were not sensitive to the fact that this sort of clerical error can be VERY impactful for patient's whose insurance may have changed.

More than 1 year agoRupert M.Verified patient
I'm really glad I found Dr. Vo and her staff. I have a deep phobia of dentists and needles and have avoided dental work for a very long time due to a combination of fear and embarrassment. I found Dr. Vo and she's very kind, understanding and doesn't make me feel like I'm not "good enough" because I was not raised with proper dental treatment. I'm looking forward to getting my teeth back to a healthy place with her and her team. :)
More than 1 year agoAmanda S.Verified patient
This was truly the most positive medical experience I've ever had. The whole crew is lovely, warm, efficient, and professional. Dr. Vo is the first practitioner I've ever met with who really took the time to patiently field each and every one of my concerns, to paint a holistic picture of my oral health in language I could actually understand, to explain what was appearing in x-rays and photos, and to leave me with clear, actionable steps for the future. I felt empowered and fascinated, not alarmed or confused. There were absolutely no attempts at upselling and the teeth cleaning was next level. I learned so much about my own body and what to expect, and genuinely feel like I finally found a trusted partner in my own health. Super grateful to the whole team and couldn't recommend this practice more.

I normally get so anxious about going to the dentist. Dr. Vo's bedside manner was so calm and reassuring. She explained everything that she was doing and broke down my treatment plan into actionable, manageable steps. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!
June 11, 2019Pia C.Verified patient
Dr. Vo and her team really took care of me when I had a broken tooth, and needed a temporary crow and filling to prep for a root canal. They all did a fantastic job and took such care with what I needed.
More than 1 year agoAnna D.Verified patient
I went for a consultation. Dr. Vo is very friendly and approachable and explains the procedure of what's happening at the beginning. She walked me through what she was seeing and created a step-by-step plan for my dental health. Her hygienists are fantastic as well. Very professional and overall a great experience.
November 9, 2018Trevor D.Verified patient
She was really good. Explained all problems in a very good way and was very professional. Her staff up front was very good as well.
October 4, 2018Reshmi R.Verified patient
What I appreciated most about my visit with Dr. Vo was how clearly she explained everything she was doing: what specific tools were for, what she was looking for, and what next steps would be. I’ve only had my first visit, but I already feel like I’m well taken care of.
July 3, 2018Lauren E.Verified patient
Dr. Vo and her team are incredible at making you feel at ease once you step foot into their office. Dr. Vo explained everything that was happening during my oral exam, which was something I've never experienced with a dentist before. On top of proactively educating me on oral hygiene and their processes/tools in the office, she also took the time to answer all of my questions. I'm actually excited to come back to see her for my next appointment!

Dr. Vo, Tracy and Anna are the best dental team you could ask for! They made sure I was comfortable and educated about my entire dental treatment and worked with me to come up with a comprehensive dental plan. All my questions about insurance and treatments were promptly answered. It was the most thorough dental experience I've had and I cannot recommend them more highly!
November 4, 2017Iris L.Verified patient
Dr. Vo is empathetic, explains everything and is really professional and gets work done pain free. Her assistants and reception team, Tracy and Ana are also lovely and awesome. Love Dr. Vo and her team!
July 9, 2017Sarah-jane M.Verified patient
Absolutely brilliant professional along with the rest of her kind and efficient team. Warmth, and friendliness added makes a powerful combination to nominate this individual and her team as the best in North America
June 28, 2017Stefan K.Verified patient
Dr. Vo and her staff were very courteous and thorough during my visit. They let me know what they were doing, and why, the entire time and made me feel extremely comfortable. I've been pretty fortunate in that I've had good dental visits in the past, but this visit definitely takes the cake for sure. I've already made a follow up appointment and look forward to coming back.

June 30, 2017Michael D.Verified patient
Dr. Vo is a wonderful dentist. Great bedside manner, upbeat, and very professional. I had a filling that fell out from another dentist. She filled it no time. I was in and out in less than 45 minutes and my bite is perfect.
June 7, 2017Maria V.Verified patient

I don't think I have EVER had such a thorough cleaning and examination. Dr. Vo and her office staff are polite, and even very friendly. Highly recommended!
March 16, 2017Elizabeth B.Verified patient
Dr. Vo was awesome, she explained what she was doing during the teeth cleaning and was as friendly as possible - I appreciated that she didn't talk at me, but to me and answered additional questions for me about my dental health.
March 23, 2017Angela S.Verified patient
Top notch dentist who I highly recommend!
December 30, 2016Rob S.Verified patient
Best bedside manner I've experienced in a dentist and was both through and transparent with what was going to happen/happening and why.
December 25, 2016John C.Verified patient
My visit with Dr. Vo was very pleasant - and this is coming from someone who dreads visiting the dentist!
The entire staff is kind, patient, and takes the time to explain both insurance/pricing and the treatment itself. I highly recommend this practice!

September 18, 2015Miranda D.Verified patient
Dr. Vo is great. She is super nice, accessible, and friendly. After I got a crown with her, she called in the next day to see how I was feeling. I also got a few fillings done, and she called the next day to check on me those times too. Big fan!
I did get a second opinion on the crown just to be responsible, and the 2nd dentist told me the same thing. (That I needed to get it).
