I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Amy and her entire team. From the moment I walked in, I felt genuinely cared for. Her bedside manner is exceptional--calm, patient, and incredibly reassuring. She took the time to thoroughly answer all of my questions without ever making me feel rushed, which made such a difference. The office staff was equally amazing--friendly, helpful, and very clear and transparent about pricing, which I truly appreciated. The whole experience felt thoughtful, honest, and supportive from start to finish. If you're looking for a dentist who is not only highly skilled but also deeply caring, I wholeheartedly recommend this practice. read more

TL;DR: Dr. Do seems to be a friendly and competent dentist, I would have preferred more communication but I was overall happy with my care. I'm leaving a long review as I was disappointed by the number and quality of dentistry reviews when finding a place to go. I scheduled my appointment via the email on Dr. Do's website, as I failed to get through on multiple separate phone call attempts. This went smoothly, though it was a two month wait for an appointment. The office is part of a small collection of offices, and is on the second floor. There are perhaps a dozen parking spaces easily available, and a parking lot for a shopping center across the street. The office is relatively small, but has multiple private areas for patients. The seating area is small, but comfortable with a fish tank to watch. The staff at the desk were friendly and helpful. An assistant sat me down and gave me quite a few X-rays, as is their standard practice. Dr. Do came in after, and commented on a note that I'd made on my intake form - a great sign. She ran through my exam efficiently and gave clear feedback. Unfortunately I can't speak to the quality of her feedback, since I have no dentistry expertise, but she didn't say anything I know to be wrong. I would have appreciated a moment to ask questions as this point, but she moved on to another patient and an assistant flossed and helpfully provided a recommendation for a specific tool. I was also given a fluoride treatment. I needed to schedule a cavity drilling and filling and was able to make an appointment for a week later. I was given an estimate of what I would pay out of pocket and what insurance would cover. The default filling they offered was composite resin, though this was never said out loud, I read it on the estimate. The cavity drilling and filling went smoothly, but a small piece chipped shortly after. Dr. Do saw me quickly and for free to look over the filling. read more

Dr. Do is an amazing dentist who genuinely cares about her patients and clearly explains / teaches her patients what she is doing and why. Her staff is also amazing. I highly recommend Dr. Do! read more

My family and I have been going to Dr Do for several years. Dr Do and the office staff have been extremely helpful and caring. In particular with a major cosmetic project I underwent, she worked with my orthodontist to prepare my teeth over several months while explaining my options and considerations. The result was fantastic and there were no surprises. They helped me create a natural looking smile I'm proud of. The quality of her team's work is holding up nicely and she checks in regularly to make sure everything is as I want it to be. read more

I would never recommend this dentist to anyone. Dr. So treated me horribly from the beginning. She decided to do a crown on a tooth a day before I was leaving on a two week vacation, that didn't exhibit any pain and did not need immediate attention. She did not mention whatsoever that this could turn into a root canal. As soon as I left for my trip I was in severe pain. I could not enjoy anything through the entire duration of my trip as I was in so much pub, whereas prior there was zero pain. When I could finally get into see her she said I now needed a root canal and referred me to her friend. That friend was not in my Ins plan and tried to charge me $7,000 even though I had Ins to cover root canals. I stopped her just before starting so thankfully I avoided that charge and found someone in my network that was covered by ins. When I finally came back to finish the crown it didn't fit my mouth anymore because it had been so lo by in pain and without a tooth there. So I was charged an exponential amount of money to re-do the crown. Then she brought me back in for a cleaning way before insurance allowed another one to be paid for (on Dec. 18th, merely 2 weeks before the cleaning would've been covered), so I got an unexpected bill for $177 including a fluoride rinse, which I absolutely refused because I knew it would be extra, but got charged for it anyways. Agree with others that she resents being asked questions, she has terrible bedside manner, and the office is horrifically dirty. The equipment is old and often broken (they sprayed water all over my face during a visit cause the sprayer was broken). The whole office staff is unhelpful and does not look out for your best interest. They are simply trying to make money and trick you into paying for procedures you don't need. I may end up reporting her to the medical board for withholding the fact that my crown could turn into a root canal in order for me to pay more money. Worst, on a personal note, during my first visit she commented on the size of my engagement ring, rolling her eyes and saying how big it was. So offensive! As if my fiancé should be ashamed that he spent a good amount. If his hard earned money on something special for me. It was disgusting. I will never go back there. read more

Three visits before I left this practice. The hygienist was gentle and competent, but every single interaction with Dr. Do herself was negative and unpleasant (surly, combative, seemed to resent being asked questions). She may be a competent clinician (and hopefully friendlier to patients she likes), but terrible bedside manner makes for a highly discomforting visit to the dental chair. Switched to a new dentist and couldn't be happier: competent, patient, communicative, sensible office procedures, modern, great attitude. Night and day. The new dentists also cast doubt on the clinical basis for Dr. Do pushing me into multiple deep cleaning procedures (even reviewing the original X-rays and charting). I'll give Dr. Do the benefit of the doubt, but glad I moved on. read more

Great team! Super friendly, knowledge and great experience. I would fully recommend if you're looking for a dentist in the Aptos area.

Dr. Do was super nice and accommodating to me. I told her how much anxiety I get at dentist offices and she took her time to explain what she was doing to me and why. She made sure to go slow around the areas I told her were more sensitive. Her office staff were friendly and sweet. I will definitely keep seeing Dr. Do! read more

I am currently a patient of Doctor Amy Do. I've been with her from the start. I was a patient of Doctor Forsberg for many years. When Doctor Amy Do took over the practice, I continued with her. Amy Do makes you feel more like a friend than a patient. She also have a discount program that can be very helpful. If your looking for a very competent dentist, look no further. I feel lucky to be her patient. Her staff have always been kind and friendly. I would give her more than five stars if I could. read more

Amy has a very rude staff assistant that berated my teeth while cleaning them. As i was upset and made it clear that it is not acceptable...Amy proceeded to tell me i can no longer be seen there and left me in a bad situation. One of my caps had fallen of during the Christmas holiday and my bridge would not stay in.... i called for weeks with no response? Then when i finally got in for this emergency they said i am to early for cleaning and insurance wont pay and they want payment in full? I was not there for a cleaning?. anyway I have found a great new dentist that actually cares and respects me with a wonderful staff. Freedom dental office of (new dentist) Drs. Terry F. Haskin and Gordon G. Goldstine https://www.drterryhaskin.com/ Amy even made me sign a document stating that i cant come back? A very negative experience I do not recommend AMY DO, DDS read more

Amy and her team are true professionals. She has an honest and kind approach. You can tell she truly cares about her patients and will go above and beyond to make sure you feel cared for. I'm so relieved to have found her office. Amy also referred me out to a few specialists, who were top-notch and spoke very highly of her work. Thanks Amy and team! read more

I have been seeing Dr. Do for many years now. I find her to be an excellent and professional dentist. She explains why she needs to perform certain procedures on my teeth whether replacing a crown or removing an old filling. She uses the latest and best products on my teeth. I always appreciate the advice she gives me on taking care of my teeth and gums pertinent to my particular issues. I highly recommend Dr. Do read more

This office led by Dr. Amy is the best! She is upbeat, positive and makes a dental visit fast, easy and worth it. I learned early that teeth are vital and taking smart care is important! I know I get thorough attention and a beautiful smile from and to Dr. Do's office! read more

Amy Do, DDS - Need our teeth to eat cookies - Cosmetic Dentists Near Me - Aptos, California

I've had nothing but great experiences with Dr Do and her office. Everyone is kind and patient and very thorough. I have a lot of anxiety going to the dentist and everyone has always been so kind and patient with me. Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Amy Do is the best! She has a fun personality and does excellent work. Her office is professional and her staff are also great.

My recent experience with Dr. Do reflects all my experiences with her. Professional and efficient. The work was the placing of a crown and all went well. Even the fact that the temporary crown fell out had been cautioned at the time of the procedure. Yes, it fell out, but it is not a big deal. We'll just leave it out until the permanent crown comes in. read more

Dr. Do and her entire office is great. Everyone is professional, personable and knowledgeable.

Over the past couple months, I have called multiple times during business hours and left multiple voice messages about scheduling a cleaning and check up. No answer and no response. I also sent them an email about scheduling an appointment. No response again. read more

Dr. Amy Do has been my dentist for years, and as far as I'm concerned she is the best. She is smart, attentive, and does everything possible to make you comfortable during procedures. I never feel like she's rushing, and always takes her time to explain details to me. When she has needed to refer me to specialists, I always get good care from those individuals. I trust Dr. Do wholeheartedly, and highly recommend her. I would give her more than 5 stars if I could. Thank you, Dr. Do! read more

Dr Do and her assistant Vicki were friendly, efficient and very gentle when I was in the office yesterday getting a crown. I highly recommend Dr Do, as she is an excellent dentist. read more

Dr Do cares about her patients. She listens and diagnoses, with thorough examination and assessment. Her assistant, Alma, is excellent and professional. Both care, both work hard. read more

Dr. Do and her staff are absolutely great! I recently came in for a regular checkup and the entire office was run in an extremely safe manner from beginning to end. Before entering they checked my temperature and masks and other safety gear was worn at all times, but it did not add much time to the visit at all. I felt completely safe at all times. A very professional and friendly dentist and office. read more

I'm a stress tooth grinder - have been all my life - and recently my teeth have given in to the pressure. Dr. Do is a fantastic dentist, and she and her team did great work on repairing/capping my poor molars, they do great work on routine cleanings (all while being very kind and empathetic, and not making me feel like a bad person for my less-than-perfect flossing practices), AND they fitted me for a night guard which really works! The night guard is much smaller than the ones I remember from my childhood, but is totally effective in not letting me clamp my back teeth down - so no grinding! It is nice to wake up without headaches, and while I won't say I look forward to going to the dentist, I certainly don't dread it like I used to before I went to Dr. Do's office! read more

My first visit to Amy was perfect. Most thorough office visit, including my blood pressure check. The staff were so kind and accommodating. So happy to have been referred to Amy! read more

I had to get 2 cavitys fixed and my experience was as good as it can get for that type of procedure. The Dr and hygienist worked very in sync and professionally, and made sure I wasn't experiencing any discomfort at all times. I would definitely recommend this dentist to others. Dr. Amy Do is awesome read more

Horrible experience - rude dentist and staff. Unnecessary procedures. We spent over 800 dollars on a mouth guard that Dr Do said was needed... that doesn't fit and asked to size correctly but did not fit and can not be used. Had multiple issues with the temp put in place for my husband with a crown being put in- it fell out 2 times. I was told by Dr Do that I had multiple cavities and I went to get a second option and I had no cavities. Would NOT recommend read more

Dr Amy Do is the best dentist ever! Super kind and fun! -Juju read more

Dr. Amy Do is the absolute BEST dentist I have ever had - hands down. She has a really fun, outgoing personality and makes visiting the dentist an enjoyable experience. That's pretty rare in my book. When it comes to the business at hand, she is extremely knowledgeable and has helped me to navigate a complex dental issue. Honestly, I trust her opinion even more than the specialists - her advice is always spot-on. She and her entire staff are gentle too, so you don't have to worry about having a tough visit. She genuinely cares about her patients, and that shows when you are chatting with her in the office and she really takes the time to explain things, or if she gives you a call just to check-in and see how things are going after a procedure. My whole family has been going to Dr. Do for a couple of years now, and she is just as good with our kids as she is with the grownups. You just can't go wrong with Dr. Amy Do and her team in Aptos!! read more

Front admin/greeters, hygienists, and Amy are all so personable and conversationalists. Makes the dreaded dental experience much more bearable. Really pleasant to interact with them! read more

Imagine having a dentist you look forward to seeing. Amy is a great dentist, and a great person. She's the kind of person you're immediately comfortable with. She projects competence, and she's a fun personality. I never imagined cracking jokes with the person that's about to put a drill in my mouth, but that's the kind of person Amy is. Her staff is wonderful. Everyone is kind, everyone is incredibly competent and straightforward. I guess it should be noted that, given these strange times, Amy is absolutely diligent in her concern for her patient's well-being. She worked hard and gave a great deal of thought to establishing procedures that ensure everyone's safety. Just gotta say, she's made a life-long client out of me & my family. 10 stars. read more

Dr Do is amazing. She's super cool and never makes you feel like you're in the principals office if you haven't been doing something right. The staff is amazing, Patty makes you feel like she's known you for years. I highly recommend Dr Do and her team for your dental care! read more

Dr. Amy Do is very knowledgeable, sweet, and wonderful to work with. Highly recommended!

I've been getting Excellent care from Dr Do and her staff. They're all great at explaining what they're doing while working on my teeth.

My partner and I just LOVE Dr. Do and her team. Vicki and Patty are particular standouts! We are moving to San Diego at the end of the month and we will miss them terribly. I have had a lot of work done on my teeth during the COVID era and I feel totally confident with the safety measures Amy and her team have in place. Funny to think one of the things we will miss moving away from Aptos is our dentist. Thank you, Dr. Do and team, for your high quality and compassionate work! Love, Cate & Robert read more

Dr. Do is an outstanding dentist. She is thorough and gentle on my cleaning due to my high sensitivity. I like that she explains things well on any of my teeth that she is keeping a watch on. She provides suggestions on keeping my teeth and gums healthy. I highly recommend Dr. Do read more

A year later and the crown I got on the "unsavable" tooth is completely stable and works like a charm. The total cost was under $2000. The unnecessary implant that Dr. Do recommended would have cost $8000-10000 besides being fundamentally more invasive and subject to complication risks. read more

I love me some Dr Do! I've never said that about a dentist before. She's a straight-shooter, I like her bedside manner and I trust her judgement. Her office staff is great and I actually don't mind going in to get my teeth cleaned, also a first for me. I highly recommend read more
