I loved my visit, scheduled to go back. Staff is super friendly and helpful. The office is nice and has a great view from the patients chair. I highly recommend it.
January 28, 2026Terron B.Verified patient
Dr. Chung is the best dentist I've ever been to. He is cognisant of my dental anxiety and uses humor to keep me calm. He explains exactly what to expect before and during the dental work and checks in frequently to make sure I'm doing ok. He moved to this current office and to me he's worth the extra drive time for the high level of care he and his team provide!
January 20, 2026Kelsey B.Verified patient
Friendly knowledgeable and a clear communicator
January 12, 2026Cathy D.Verified patient
Doc was super understanding of my situation, and worked with me to be able to have a nice smile on Thanksgiving this year. I will continue to be a client because of how great this experience was.
December 14, 2025Joshua D.Verified patient
It was a warm welcome and friendly staff
December 11, 2025Neville W.Verified patient
The staff were immediately welcoming and helpful! This was my first experience using my own dental insurance and so ran into some hiccups that the receptionist (I think her name was Nina) was able to help me with quickly, the dentists assistant did the X-rays of my teeth very quickly so I experienced minimal discomfort, and Dr Chung gave me a run down of the dental problems I experienced, offered me options, and referred me to a specialist. Very good service! Highly recommended!
August 5, 2025Nathan C.Verified patient
They weren’t very understanding with my situation, I felt very very humiliated, embarrassed and very disrespected when leaving. I sat in my car and cried, I don’t recommend this place if you’re looking for actual care.

Great visit
July 15, 2024William T.Verified patient
Dr. Chung and his assistant was very informative. As a new patient they welcomed me like I’d been a member of Smile Obession for many years. They did a great job providing me dental care.

outstanding
June 11, 2023Ray R.Verified patient
I had an amazing time with Dr. Chung. He was amazing at what he does. However, I love that he actively listens and validates your concerns. I love that he shows the before and after pics of your teeth and the problematic areas and discusses the treatment plan with you. He is a very present figure in your care, and that is rare these days. I totally recommend him!

March 6, 2023Christina E.Verified patient
I have been to several dentists before and Dr Peter Chung was definitely the most friendly and professional one i have been to. He was not only gentle but was very careful in checking my teeth and going over my issues thoroughly. I highly recommend Dr Peter Chung for anyone looking for a good dentist!
January 10, 2023Jullius J.Verified patient
Great first experience. I was seen by an actual dentist even though I was just there for a cleaning. There were before and after photos taken so I could see the difference. They were quick, friendly, and painless (as painless as going to the dentist can be). Dentist talked to me about my options, answered all my questions, went over insurance coverage, and made me feel comfortable during the entire process. I will be continuing to come here.
December 6, 2022Taylor W.Verified patient
A fantastic dentist whom I highly recommend
November 30, 2022Allan G.Verified patient
When you find someone as outstanding in their work as Dr. Chung, you never need to look anywhere else.
He has a way of melting your anxiety. You get no judgment from him or his hygienists, whether you haven’t seen a dentist in a few months or whether it has been years. He genuinely cares, and you never get the sense of being rushed when you have a lot of questions. Not to mention the work itself is amazing. My smile has NEVER looked as good as has after working with Dr. Chung.
It’s never “trust me, I’m a dentist.” He shows you imaging and X-rays and what is ideal and what should be prioritized vs what can wait if you want to maximize your insurance. You never get a sense of pressure either, he actively looks for ways to save you money in the work being done.
Anyway, if you want a cleaning, cavity filled, or more significant work (in my case) based on the condition of your teeth, this is your guy.
More than 1 year agoBrandon T.Verified patient
I am never the type to leave reviews but no had to. Dr Chung was very patient, described everything about the procedure and genuinely seemed concerned to make sure he did the best he could for me. I had two wisdom teeth removed and I would so very highly recommend him to anyone. Seriously, the best dentist I’ve ever been to and easily one of the best in the area. The app Zocdoc was incredible and booked the appointment just how I needed.

I could not have had a better experience! Dr. Chung took the time to answer all of my questions and ease my worries, especially given my extreme dental anxiety. He was thorough, personable, and certainly someone I will recommend to anyone who needs a referral :)
September 13, 2022Kassandra M.Verified patient
Absolutely
May 16, 2022Mario U.Verified patient
Dr. Chung is always amazing. He tells me exactly what needs to be done and give me options to choose what I think is best. He is very clear and precise with giving you all the facts. He cares about your health and that’s not common in this era. I will be going to Dr. Chung from now on.
April 8, 2022Darlisha C.Verified patient
I was very nervous walking in but after leaving my appointment felt confident and excited for the dental plan we set up. He provided a lot of knowledge and options about the work I needed done without making me feel pressured to do everything at once. I am looking forward to my next appointment which is something I’d never thought I would say!
More than 1 year agoTrinity H.Verified patient
I have to say this was my best dentist appointment ever. The dr was very professional. He understood my situation & provided me with prices before the work was performed & only did the work we agreed on today. Did not sneak in any extra charges. I knew Before going in that I have alot of work to be done. He did not try to push more than I could handle today & did not make me feel guilty for having the problems that I have. Very compassionate & believe it or not I’m actually looking forward to my next appt. Which I made for later this month.
March 2, 2022Linda H.Verified patient
