So normally I'm not the biggest fan of going to the dentist, let alone writing a review about a…read moredentist. However, I had such a great first experience with Dr. Vasanth and Paola that I have to give credit where credit is due. My first visit was just for a routine cleaning, and the scheduling + new patient forms were all quite easy to do on their website. I also received a few reminder texts in the days leading up to the appointment. From the get-go, it was evident Dr. V and Paola had taken the time to properly review my insurance plan, as they made recommendations for x-rays and upcoming visits based on my plan benefits and timing. Paola also pointed out fluoride was not covered by my insurance before asking me whether I wanted it or not for my cleaning - this attention to detail and transparency is above and beyond what I've experienced at other dentists. As for the cleaning itself, Dr. V handled it thoroughly and with a gentle touch, while consistently checking throughout to make sure I was comfortable. She has a very bubbly, friendly personality and is super easy to talk to as well. Overall, just a very pleasant experience and I'm so glad I found this place to be my team for all things dental.

I want to commend the staff at Dr. Vasanth's office for their friendliness and efficiency. You are the best!! I am absolutely thrilled to have found Dr. Vasanth as my new dentist! From the moment I walked into her office, I was greeted with a level of warmth that immediately put me at ease. She was not only knowledgeable, but also incredibly caring and attentive. Before getting started she took time to get to know me as a person (never had I experienced this before), which was a meaningful for me. Then, she took the time to listen to my concerns. I felt confident that I was in good hands throughout the entire appointment. I highly recommend Dr. Vasanth and the Millbrae Smile Center for your next appointment.

Fondest memory: When I was young, and had to have a tooth pulled, she gave me a BEANIE BABY to make me feel better! Beyond being a great dentist, she is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. If you're in the market for a new dentist, or maybe your dentist just doesn't even compare to this awesomeness... schedule an appointment and get them pearly whites all polished up by the best dentist in town!

I wish there was a 6 star rating because Dr. McCarthy deserves more than 5 stars…read more Read the other reviews carefully. The same things keep coming up...kind, gentle, thorough. I would add that she is also a perfectionist which is a darn good thing in a dentist. I have had other dentists who have a hard time working on my mouth because of my small jaw. Some dentists have been very impatient. Not Dr McCarthy. She is so consistently kind and patient that I never worry about my appointments. She shares the office with her brother Dr Tim McCarthy who I'm sure is equally as great. I have seen him helping a daughter get her very elderly mother (his patient) in the car after her appointment. Kindness seems to be a family trait. I used to work at a think tank at Stanford University. We had visiting scholars from around the world. Many times they would have a need for emergency dental work and I always recommended Dr McCarthy. They were always happy with her work and the prices... One of my cohorts also switched from her high priced dentist to Dr Eileen and has been ecstatic with her work.

Dr. Yoo cares about trying to make her patients happy and is willing to talk about different treatment plans despite her very busy schedule. She will make time for all your questions and concerns. I have older teeth now and there are lots of challenges. Lots more to fix. Also a tight budget at times. We are making this work one tooth at a time.

Dr. Yu proceed to clean the area paying particular attention to the unhealthy areas when all of a sudden, everything stopped suddenly. Dr. Yu grabbed a piece of gauze, pulled something out of my mouth, looked at it for 30 seconds and said a tooth fragment left from my wisdom tooth extraction was irritating my gums and causing them to be unhealthy. For context, the wisdom teeth came out 15-20 years ago and numerous dentists over the years were not able to figure this out. I've even been told that I may just have bad gums and tooth loss in the future are possibilities. Pretty wild Dr. Yu was able to figure this in 2 brief visits when nobody else was able to solve this for the last 15-20 years.

During each of my visits Dr. Yu and his staff would push for an X-ray. I have disclosed that I am physician myself and I do not like to take or have taken X-rays without clinical indication. On my last visit (03/2024) Dr. Yu and his team tried again to force me to agree to an X-ray. I was told if I don't have an X-ray taken I cannot come to this dentist office again. He will basically kick me out. I repeated that I am physician and have zero indication for an X-ray. To prove his point, he took what felt like the metal handle of one of the instruments and hammered on each and every tooth of mine. This was very uncomfortable, but zero pain. He was firm that he won't accept me as patient if I don't have an X-ray taken. I have attached a summary of the guidelines from the American Dental Association (ADA) and the guidelines are very clear: 1) there is no fixed recommended frequency 2) as low as reasonably achievable 3) based on findings from patient history and clinical examination So, NO! based on ADA guidelines I do not need an X-ray. Instead of following ADA guidelines, Dr. Yu follows his financial guidelines and wants me exposed to unnecessary X-rays just to cash in. I can't recommend this dentist at all!

Scott and Linda helped me over my fears and I looked forward to visiting the dentist.. Sadly Scott retired and Linda, others left. Josh took over the practice.. I cracked a tooth.. it took 3 months to get in.. When I finally got in.. Josh took impressions for the crown.. then placed the crown 3 weeks later. Unfortunately the crown he put in had a hole that had been sealed from the outside. (discovered from another dentist).. and overall poorly fitted due to gap with adjoining tooth constantly trapping food.. Was he rushing or just cutting corners with the process.. or a gross lab error.. I have no idea.. but I find it very difficult to believe he didn't see the defect before cementing in the crown. When I brought to his practices office attention.. I asked for my money back.. at least my out of pocket... which was just less than $1000.. He offered instead to replace the crown for free. I thought why would I ever get in your chair again... so sorry to leave this negative review.. but people need to know.. his office staff is great..
