“I appreciated that each person introduced themselves and informed me about what they would be doing. After the doctor completed the exam, she took time to show the x-rays and explain things thoroughly to convey what I needed to prioritize and why. Insurance estimates were provided and clearly explained as well. I did feel this step adds time in between each aspect of the appointment. However, I think it is helpful to understand the breakdown. ”

There was a slight wait time. I think one woman had been waiting for a while and decided to reschedule.
They don’t accept primary/secondary insurance; just one. Though the lady at the front desk made it seem like they could. They are nice so that was definitely a bummer because of the pricing.
They are overly friendly. It’s not a bad thing. You should check them out for yourself. You might find that you really like them, I know I did.
She doesn’t seem money hungry. She wasn’t ready to drill all my teeth for cavities. She wasn’t like let’s watch that one and see how it goes vs let’s drill everything.

Very professional and welcoming

I had a dental emergency and was able to book an early appointment with relative ease. From the intake process until finishing my dental matter, everything was amazing. The staff are highly professional and caring individuals who exemplify outstanding customer service. More importantly, Dr. Gu went above and beyond to both resolve my dental emergency and provide additional information with respect to the nature of my issue. I was blown away with the exceptional level of care and attentiveness given to me. I’m certain that this is the standard culture here. It is for these reasons that I would offer my highest recommendation and endorsement of Dr. Gu and her colleagues.

The Dr was very nice and she took her time to explain things to me she always gave me serval different options to replace my missing teeth along with pros and cons so that was really appreciated

Excellent service
July 1, 2025Darrell S.Verified patient
I would never go back. Dentist was very nice and informative but the rest of office staff including the hygienist was rude and very offensive to all my questions and concerns. Example: was given my care plan which was not what I went in for or what my insurance would pay for, I just wanted a regular cleaning and checked by the dentist.
Please take this practice off your suggestion’s for Humana patients.
