Great dentist, been going for years - and now he has an updated, new dentist office. Awesome!

Dr. Xu and his staff were as always extremely friendly and patient. Dr. Xu explained everything to me very well and clearly.

It was great! Dr. Zu is very professional & efficient.
SCVerified patient
I go to Dr. Xu because he listens. This visit, I told him that I can feel something subtle in my tooth. He checked my X-rays and did an exam and didn't find anything, but did that stop him?
No way! He circled back to that tooth after the rest of the exam, treating my report of discomfort like an unsolved crime and eventually found a subtle crack in my filling.
He then popped in a mirror, took a picture, and showed it to me while we talked through what the most pragmatic next steps should be.
Because of his persistence, I'll be getting this fixed long before it turns into a crisis. A lot of service providers could learn a thing or two from Dr. Xu.

The doctor didn’t do what we were looking for, but he was so nice that we are going back and gonna stay for regular check ups.
November 25, 2021Leslie R.Verified patient
Super friendly office and a great dentist!
October 19, 2021Hideo F.Verified patient
The appointment was on time. The dentist did a meticulous cleaning himself. He was friendly and informative every step of the way. It’s a shot in the dark choosing a dentist off of a list but I hit the bullseye and feel lucky to have found Dr. David.
Kelley R.Verified patient
The dentist was not throughout at all. It seemed like he didn't care about my teeth and especially, he did not care to explain to me what was going on with my teeth. He pointed out a problem and gave no solutions to fix it. He rushed me out the office and I left feeling confused and like I needed to find another dentist. I would not go here again.
January 10, 2021Isabella S.Verified patient
This was my first time here and I went for a dental cleaning.
Dr. Xu did the cleaning himself and he was very thorough with it. He was receptive to my questions and took time to speak with me.

November 20, 2020Donald W.Verified patient
Dr. Xu is excellent. He is one of the best dentists I've been to. Very honest about needing any further things taken care of such as implants, fillings, etc if not needed. Makes cleaning painless and quick. Would highly recommend
Paulo A R.Verified patient
I think Dr. Xu is a wonderful dentist.
VBVerified patient
Great! Treated me very well.
MWVerified patient
Dr. Xu is incredible. Because of genetics and bad childhood habits, my teeth are high maintenance. Dr. Xu is always professional, empathetic, and informative. His prices are so reasonable that I've been able to pay for two crowns out of pocket. I am grateful for his services and am happy to say that I leave this office with more confidence and peace of mind.
VRVerified patient
\Fantastic dentist! and the assistants are very sweet. Dr Xu always ask if I'm okay. He's always asking about how I am, if something hurts--very attentive! His assistants are lovely as well. He made a root canal a nearly pleasant experience!
November 20, 2019Ashley R.Verified patient
I searched very long and hard and found this doctor that takes my insurance.
Dr. Hongbo’s office is located in very interesting building...but I loved how they have free parkings right in front.
If you are looking for a very modern and fancy dentist office this is not for you...but if you are looking for a dentist who is very skillful and honest, he is the one.
My son broke his front tooth a month ago and they took him in right away...and he was able to glue the tiny tooth piece (1/16”inch?) back on his tooth and fill up the area we lost the pieces for. It was done so nicely nobody could tell my son had a broken tooth! It’s like an art!
Then, last night, my filling (or onlay) on my molar fell off and had to make an appointment and they squeezed me in at 10:30 this morning!
Dr. Hongbo was so patient and answered all my questions regarding pro and cons about onlay vs crown....and filling.
He didn’t pressure me to go with more expensive procedure at all. I ended up going with filling because that’s fully covered by my insurance.
I think they also answer phones at night time for emergency tooth issues.

What a wonderful staff and doctor. Friendly and inviting. They saw me with short notice even though I wasn’t a previous patient. I would definitely recommend!

I was a little skeptical, as I am with most doctors/dentists. But I was so so pleasantly surprised. I went in for a regular cleaning and I couldn't stop raving about it afterwards. It just felt so...fresh and so clean. Didn't hurt at all- enjoyed every minute of it! He was amazing, I will def be coming back every 6 months.
April 4, 2019Monica R.Verified patient
Dr. Xu was excellent. He was even available on a weekend day as it is often difficult to be seen during the week with work constraints. He worked hard to ensure I was comfortable and in minimal pain. Will definitely return
March 9, 2019Paulo A R.Verified patient
Let's start by saying i HATE going to the dentist. After leaving Dr. Xu's office, I am excited for my follow up and future appointments for the first time.....EVER! I needed a deep cleaning ive been avoiding for years. Through the entire hour long procedure he had so much patience and asked every few minutes if i felt any pain or needed any more anesthetic in case it wore off. Thank you to Dr. Xu and his amazing, friendly and professional staff!
