I've been to over 8 dentists in my lifetime, and Dr. Li was by far the best. She is much more comprehensive and thorough than anyone I have been to, and is really looking out for the patient's dental health from a preventative perspective. The whole staff also works really well together and you really get the top patient experience.

Dr. Kehan Li was wonderful. I am always kind of nervous when visiting the dentist, but she and her assistant were kind, gentle, and really thorough. I would happily recommend her to any friends in need of a new dentist.

Literally everything about the visit was perfect - there was no wait time and Dr. Li and her nurse were patient, thorough and took the time to explain everything they were doing. Also, they are pros at their jobs - I felt barely any pain during the whole cleaning and my teeth look and feel squeaky clean!

I have not seen a Dentist in 15 years, and I am 61 years young. I had a lot of build up on my teeth and was expecting some pain to get if off, and some fillings. I was amazed. I have never had a virtually pain free cleaning before after so long. Dr. Li is a true Master at what she does. She showed me all the places I needed work and I spent 5 hours in her chair getting the first of three phases down. She does not over book her patients like many Doctors. Her office is calm and relaxing and she, and her staff have the most gentle caring spirit you could ask for. I would never go anywhere else.

I'm new to the area, and know that finding a good dentist can be a daunting task. I'm so glad I found Dr. Li on my first shot! Dr. Li is thoroughly comprehensive, experienced, and kind. It was comforting that, before doing anything, Dr. Li would explain the process and purpose of her procedures. All of the equipment the office is of the highest quality. Her assistant is courteous and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
