I was very happy with the treatment I received from Dr Lee. I appreciated his openness and quality of information that he provided on the state of my teeth. I really liked that both Dr Lee and Dr Yip are very customer centric. Al though their location is challenging (with lot of street elements) but the care they provide and interest they show in their patients more than makes up for it. I'll be back for sure.

March 19, 2019Holly G.Verified patient
I was very happy with the treatment I received from Dr Lee. I appreciated his openness and quality of information that he provided on the state of my teeth. I really liked that both Dr Lee and Dr Yip are very customer centric. Al though their location is challenging (with lot of street elements) but the care they provide and interest they show in their patients more than makes up for it. I'll be back for sure.

March 2, 2020Danric J.Verified patient
Always as nice a time as a dentist visit can get when I see Dr. Lee. Not only is he conversational and kind but he also is more than willing to answer questions and explain what's taking place. Each time I leave I feel like I've learned something and never feel like I was simply a patient or a time on the schedule. Efficient, empathetic and informative - what more could you ask for?
February 3, 2020Tyler K.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is wonderful. He's been meticulous and thorough every step of the way. I like to ask questions and understand contexts, so I especially appreciate his willingness to educate me about what's going on with my teeth in scientific detail and with a sense of humor. All in all, this practice inspires confidence—and that's what I want in my dental care.
January 29, 2020Elizabeth C.Verified patient
Dr. Lee was very informative and thorough. He listened attentively and answered all my questions. Definitely one of the best and easiest dental experiences!
September 10, 2019Sarah C.Verified patient
Dr. Lee was good and fair and explained things very well. I would recommend him to anyone based on my first visit. And he didnt recommend a bunch on unnecessary stuff. Unusual for a dentist, right? Great to see an honest dentist.

May 3, 2019Diana B.Verified patient
Great experience!! Dr. Lee was very friendly, thorough and clearly explained the process and procedure. Also, his staff was equally friendly and made the experience of going to a dentist that much more pleasant.
March 11, 2019James H.Verified patient
Dr. Lee was very friendly and explained my dental needs throughly. This was my first time I have not experienced any pain when my teeth were cleaned. I’ve seen many different dentists over 30 years. Highly recommend Dr. Lee for anyone who is looking for a good dentist.
February 28, 2019Sang-i H.Verified patient
I was so excited because I was getting my permanent crown done . a bit afraid to fail again I mean again because that job was previously done witha different dentist octuber 2017. Eventually wasn't done right ...
I found confidential smile one day I stopped by made a appointment to start the restoration for my #18.
Which they made me feel comfortable in confidence. All the staff. Carolyn nichole. Dory. Michale there are a 5 star rocking I'm thankful for the work you all did thank you much.....
February 22, 2019Adilio Q.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is the absolute best; I'm particularly anxious about my teeth, and have a lovely variety of treatment needs and he's been both sensitive to my needs (and teeth) and conscientious about treatment plans, as well as super educational--makes the dentist totally okay, perhaps even pleasant (and I'm going to get a root canal, so that's really saying something), and I feel way more prepared and motivated to continue to take care of my teeth.
February 8, 2019Analise S.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is an extremely relatable and friendly physician. In addition to providing excellent treatment, Dr. Lee discusses many fascinating topics within and outside of the world of dentistry. For this reason, I always leave my visits learning something new and feeling that we have a strong friendship. :)
February 4, 2019Adi S.Verified patient
Dr. Lee made my visits very pleasant. He explained my conditions and necessary procedures in very simple terms that I could understand. He is very patient and thorough. I'm very pleased with Dr. Lee and his staff!
More than 1 year agoValerie M.Verified patient
Dr. Lee is so passionate about his work! While he was examining me he gave me creative analogies and data about my teeth and the correct treatment process. He was relatable, made me feel comfortable, and was very knowledgeable about my specific circumstances. I felt like I was getting personalized attention and Dr. Lee made me excited for future appointments. Would definitely recommend him.
December 10, 2018Adi S.Verified patient
Liked the thoroughness and explanations.
November 26, 2018Charles N.Verified patient
Dr Lee was very thorough and gentle with his examination and cleaning. Finances and my immediate concerns were taken into consideration for my treatment plan. Front office and back office staff were also wonderful.
September 20, 2018Jahdiel M.Verified patient
Dr Lee is truely the best!! Came in needing emergency treatment after getting into a car accident and fracturing my two front teeth. He did such a great job and his attention to detail is out of this world. Friends and family can’t even tell I’ve had any dental work done!! And to top it off, painless injections!! I’m definitely recommending Dr Lee to all my friends and family for any of their dental related needs! Thank you Dr Lee!

Dr. Lee is very focus and good on what he does. his main priority is to give everyone that he in counter with a beautiful smile.
More than 1 year agoES
Dr. Lee transformed my mouth after a horrible road bike accident. He managed to construct a custom bridge for my front teeth, making my smile more cosmetic than my actual teeth. He also is professional while demonstrating empathy and good rapport with clients. He states the facts and collaborates with the client for resolutions. Experienced and knowledgeable dentist to say the least.
More than 1 year agoPL
Excellent visit! Dr. Lee was so professional. I usually hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Lee was so great that I was relaxed enough to fall asleep! He was knowledgeable, easy to talk to and always made sure to explain what was going on during the procedure. Would recommend to anyone looking for a skilled dentist!
More than 1 year agoCW
I was seen promptly and everything was explained to me step by step. All my questions were answered. I was very pleased overall and would highly recommend Dr. Lee to anyone considering dental work.
More than 1 year agoSG
Dr. Lee is both professional and friendly. I was in pain for years and saw several other dentists. After seeing Dr. Lee I was pain free and so happy I went. Would highly recommend and would tell my own family to come here.
More than 1 year agoTT
Dr. Lee is, hands down, one of the best dentists I’ve visited. He does a phenomenal (and seamless) job. He made sure that I experienced the least amount of pain or discomfort and was so thoughtful enough to carefully walk me through the procedure without over-explaining. I don’t think I’ll be able to ever see another dentist after him. I guarantee it’ll be the same, if not better, for you.
