Both my children had Dr. Kao . He's pleasant and his assistants do wonderful cleanings. Professional, clean, and I always leave happy.

She is also great with my 5 year old son using kid friendly words to describe the tools and made it fun while scaling his teeth. I wish she was my dentist!

After a two-year journey, she has officially transitioned to retainers, and this milestone feels incredibly special thanks to the amazing orthodontic team and staff who supported her every step of the way. From day one, we received exceptional care and encouragement from everyone - the orthodontists, dental assistants, treatment coordinators, and front desk staff. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. Duy Bui, Dr. Janice Hwang, and Dr. Jennifer Xu (Dr. Jenn). Each of them is highly skilled, kind, and truly dedicated to their patients. A special thank-you to Dr. Jenn, who has been caring for my daughter over the past year. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine warmth made every visit a positive experience, and her attention to detail truly shows in the final result. My daughter's teeth look absolutely perfect - and more importantly, she is so confident and proud of her smile. She loves smiling and showing it off, and as a parent, that joy means everything to me. What truly sets this office apart is not only their outstanding orthodontic expertise, but also the people. Every visit feels welcoming and personal. The staff greet us like family, and over time, we've shared life stories and even vacation experiences with them. The treatment coordinators are incredibly helpful and thoughtful, always working with us to maximize our insurance benefits and minimize out‑of‑pocket costs, which we deeply appreciate. This practice delivers the rare combination of clinical excellence, genuine care, and a warm, family‑like atmosphere. We always looked forward to our visits, and that says a lot. I wholeheartedly recommend Silicon Valley Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics - Sunnyvale to any family considering orthodontic care. Thank you for giving my daughter not just a perfect smile, but also such a positive and confidence‑building experience. We are truly grateful.

Over the past two years, we have noticed significant change in how the BAKD Santa Clara office was run. On more than one occasion, the dental staff were reprimanded by the lead dentist (Dr. Radwan) in front of us, making us feel super uncomfortable, even when our hygienists had done a good job. We also had Dr. Radwan suggest a cavity filling and sealant for one of our kids. We took the day off of work and our daughter missed school to get to the appointment, only to be told that day that actually she didn't have a cavity that needed to be filled, and that they needed to look at the X rays again. On top of everything else, BAKD no longer accepted Delta Dental, and it became the patients responsibility to pay upfront and then get reimbursed and manage the go betweens of insurance and the dental office. We have since left BAKD and continue to get automated appointment reminders and billing requests, even when we have not been enrolled in over a year. When we call, it goes to voicemail and no one returns our call.

The "bill" never provided an explanation as to what exactly they were for. I asked for an itemized bill, in which they could not produce for months. It wasn't until August that someone called me back to tell me verbally what the charges were (x rays that I didn't know my child took), but still nothing on paper and I received a notification every month about my outstanding mysterious balance. In early Nov, they finally produced an itemized bill that I have attached. I'm still not sure why under 3 years old oral evaluation isn't covered by my insurance, but that's what I was told. I paid the statement balance and today, 12/5, I receive yet another notice that I owe $7. There was no explanation, but comparing the two statements, which I have included here, it seems they randomly changed some charges and even added a charge. This is fraud because the last six months they have sent me a different bill this whole time and now all of a sudden after I paid they decided to change the charges with no explanation? It is also harassment to continue to email someone without providing any explanation for the charges. It's their responsibility to make sure the charges are correct and it seems they're just arbitrary at this point. Stay away from this incompetent business.

Dr. Thai is truly the best dentist I have ever had. She is exceptionally kind, informative, and…read moregentle, and she has a way of easing my nerves the moment she begins my care. After going two years without seeing a dentist, I realized I simply didn't trust anyone else with my dental health. When I finally visited her new, beautifully designed office, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly staff that reflected her same level of professionalism and compassion. During my visit, I had a severe cavity that she believed had a 99% chance of needing a root canal. She could clearly see how anxious I was about the possibility of that procedure. With her skill and patience, she was able to save my tooth, cap it, and relieve almost all of the pain I had been experiencing. On top of that, my two front teeth had been shortened and cracked over the years, and she repaired them flawlessly. She even went above and beyond by placing a composite veneer that turned out beautifully. What sets Dr. Thai apart is her honesty, her dedication, and the way she treats every patient like family. I have referred my relatives, friends, coworkers, and even my own patients to her, and she has cared for all of us with the same level of respect and genuine concern. That kind of trust and consistency is rare, and it's the foundation of a long-term doctor-patient relationship. I highly, highly recommend Dr. Thai to anyone seeking exceptional dental care. She is truly one of a kind.

In my recent cleaning, the hygienist is very thorough, not only to do a good job with plaque removal but also being careful around my gums that easily bleed. All of this without me ever saying anything. The office is clean, and the atmosphere is relaxing. The soft instrumental music and shaded safety glasses are a nice touch, bringing the overall experience a notch higher than what I'm used to at other dental offices. The location is also near restaurants and other businesses, so it's super easy to take care of errands before/after your appointment. Highly recommend.
