Its been 20= years since i last seen a Dentist Dr.Zhao and his staff were accomodating , understanding and professional. The Doctor explained every action he took. His assistant made sure I was comfortable , both were concerned with not causing any pain or discomfort. I would recomend them and the office staff. From the front desk to the moment I was signed out everyone did their job with a smile.
