Best dental visit of my life!! Spectacular state of the art equipment. Looking at the "big picture ". Kind and considerate, Dr. Cherise and Dr. Aaron are a gift to our community! read more

Two years after getting the crown i was flossing and it popped off. I have several other crowns that have been on for over twenty years. Confirmed my decision to go elsewhere. read more

Love this office. Cherise does solid work. Clean, fast, and a pleasure to chat with. I always enjoy my appointment when I get to go in. The whole office is enjoyable and cheerful. They take great care of me. Crowns, fillings, cleanings, & buildups. I've had it all. read more

Dr. Cherise has been my dentist for almost three years and has helped me through some serious dental issues. She is calm, friendly, reassuring, kind, intelligent, professional and knowledgeable about how to treat a variety of dental issues. I have had cavities drilled, bridges made, two painless root canals by dentists Dr. Wong recommended, Invisalign and last, but not least, many new crowns across the front on both top and bottom which made my smile beautiful after having years and years of crooked teeth with numerous holes where my teeth were pulled as a child and not replaced. Now my mouth and smile are straight, whiter and brighter, and I feel more confident smiling. Dr. Culp, the office orthodontist works with Dr. Cherise as well as several more dentists in the office so that they are holistic in their approach to dental health and demonstrate the a team approach. I see some people are not happy with the prices here. I did spend a lot of money on my teeth at this office, but not a penny was wasted. I would recommend Dr. Wong and Dr. Culp as well as the two other dentists at this office to anyone. Dental work is expensive these days and insurance coverage is the absolute worst. If you are not happy with the prices, attack the dental insurance companies who won't cover anything! These companies are terrible. read more

She is amazing! A great dentist and cosmetic dentist. Very kind and compassionate amd caring.

I hope you are willing to pay $400 for a new patient first visit out of pocket even if you have insurance. No cavities, no issues. Wanted to sell me braces (I already had braces 3 times). 1) they don't take MetLife coverage, but also won't tell you on the phone or at the appointment if your coverage is out of network, even if you ask. They will happily make your appointment and send you a large bill. YOU have to do research to see if you are out of network. 2) they gave me two x rays on the same day. Didn't ask if I wanted them. Metlife told me when I called that those two X-rays cannot be billed on the same day. So, in addition to being out of network, I also had to pay for 2 X-rays in full that seemed like part of a routine first visit to a new provider. When I asked, Robin told me it was my responsibility to call my insurance to learn about what is covered and what isn't. So before you go, ask them everything they plan to do, then call your insurance and make sure it is covered. They won't give you a heads up. (they told me this was not possible on their end. however, my last dentist always had his staff call before he provided expensive x rays and services and would tell me we had to wait before he gave it to me because it was only covered 1 a year etc.) SO, IT IS POSSIBLE TO HAVE COMPASSION FOR THE COSTS YOUR PATIENTS WILL INCUR AS THEY TRUST YOU TO NOT OVER CHARGE THEM FOR A BASIC CLEANING. 3) they have no payment plans available, but offered to send me information on opening a credit card. 4) it's a nice office, high quality machines and friendly staff, now I know how they afford it. NEVER GOING BACK read more

The staff was pretty nice, and the cleaning they did a decent job but they were extremely pushy on sales in a little bit shady in my opinion. On my first time visit in there they were pushing braces and a ton of dental work that was unnecessary. (As confirmed by the dentist I saw right after I cancelled my second appt with them after finding out pricing differences and upfront costs before my insurance was billed) The second time I came in the prices were different more expensive and wanted me to pay upfront before they found out how much my insurance covered. They had also wanted to do dental work without any kind of x-rays whatsoever because I am pregnant and was pushing to get it done immediately. I talk to my physician and she said that was very strange and most dentists consult with her before doing any work usually.... overall they gave me a shady vibe and were very sales oriented over patient care. read more

This operation is a complete scam, upselling treatments and procedures not needed. Beware. Seems to be shady across the board.

Great staff, wonderful people. They do everything in there power to make your smile shine bright. read more

We recently relocated from Marin and this business is a great example of why I love Sonoma. Their entire staff made me feel "at home" on my first visit. Their attention to detail and preventative care was unique and honest. read more

I have been going to this office since I was a child. I have always felt cared for, safe and as if they were doing the best for my dental health. As I got older, Dr. Cherise kept talking to me about invisalign. I really wasnt sure about it at first, and to he honest, I thought she was trying to sell me. I figured I could benefit from it but I didnt think I really needed it. Until I ended up with broken teeth, a sever earache and TMJ from clenching my teeth at night while my bite wasnt properly aligned. So I decided to give the invisalign a try and it was SOOO worth it. I am kicking myself for not listening to Dr. Cherise earlier. I have had some extensive dental work and when I am there I feel like the office knows me, they are all kind and provide me with good care. Dr. Cherise always makes sure to numb my mouth appropriately (which I appreciate greatly!) and she gives me time for the medication to take full effect before starting her work. Theres does my cleanings and she is very thorough and gently. I appreciate our visits and her diligent work. If your looking for a good dental practice that cares about the quality of work that they are performing, dont look any further. Dr. Wongs office is it. read more

I've been going to Doctor Aaron Wong since Doctor Dempsey retired. (7-8 years ago) He explains everything and is a perfectionist. His is patient and gentle with novocaine injections-which is important to me. I've been very pleased with the crowns he's replaced that were old and failing. I highly recommend this office for your dental needs. read more

Dr Cherise Wong is the best! Before I started seeing her I used to hate going to the dentist, just dreaded it. I have been seeing her regularly for years and she has changed my whole attitude toward dentistry. She is both extremely competent and skilled, as well as compassionate, thoughtful and practical. She takes time with each patient and discusses the pros and cons of various options. The office is well-run and efficient, and the hygienists are great too. You won't find a better dentist. read more

Keep balling Chris Paulin' Dr. Wong, you've always done a thorough and perfected job. I'm sad that I am moving, but I'll always remember the coolest dentist I ever had! The hygienists are super nice, and I even had a cut finger one time that started randomly bleeding and the nurse was quick to help me out with some gauze. Always felt comfortable at this spot, good folks all around. - Ian read more

Last December while visiting Sonoma a crown fell out the week between Christmas & New Years. After many calls to dentists, Wong gave me a 12:30 appt the next day, 12/29/16. I told them I didn't need an x-Ray, just needed the crown glued back on....their estimate $118, which included an x-Ray. Waited 30 minutes & someone told me " sorry for delay but we have regular patients needing to get stuff done before year end". Should have left & gone to drugstore & got their glue. Waited an hour, they insisted on x-Ray & dentist glued clown on which probably took 5-10 minutes. TOTAL:$235!!! $39 x-Ray & $196 to glue crown, which came loose in March and I had to go to my own dentist. Just a heads up to tourists to read reviews before going here. I wish I had. read more

I have been going to Dr. Wong for a few years now and she is wonderful! I recently just had to have a dental procedure that took multiple appointments, the receptionists were on it when it came to scheduling those appointments and Dr. Wong and her hygienists always make sure to give you the care and time you need and answer all your questions and concerns. I have never had a single issue with them. I am beyond pleased with the results of my bridge I just got and with their excellent care. read more

Doctor Cherise Wong is an excellent dentist. I am the worst patient, I come in and then disappear. My fear of dentists is real but Dr. Cherise was patient and compassionate and she earned my respect and helped me get over my dental phobia. She is conservative in her treatment approach, conscientious about cost and a perfectionist about results. There is no doubt in my mind that she cares about her patients and their dental health. She is surrounded by top notch dental hygienists who complement her professionally. The chairside manner of Dr. Cherise and her entire staff leave you feeling like you are in competent hands and they genuinely care about you. They are not constantly up selling. Many dentist offices today are very focused on cosmetics trying to make patients invest in perfection. If you have a great Dentist like Cherise Wong you will have beautiful healthy teeth and you will smile proudly. You will not be directed to costly cosmetic procedures in a quest for perfection! read more

Dr. Cherise Wong is an unbelievable dentist, the whole practice is awesome. I have 4 kids and all of my kids actually enjoy going to the dentist, that's pretty remarkable to us. I grew up having anxiety around going to the dentist. I'm so grateful that my kid's have such a loving practice to go to that they feel safe at. I refer the Wong's to all of my friend's. read more

Every time I went to see Dr. Cherise Wong she wanted to remove more of my teeth. I really liked the hygienist, she was nice, complimented me on my dental care which I'm good at, but all Dr. Cherise wanted to do is cap more of my teeth. She had lined three up for my next visit, but I went to another dentist instead and he said my teeth looked fine to him, no need for caps. read more

If it were possible to put no stars, I would. This is the worst dentistry practice I have ever encountered. Please do not go there. 1. Appointments are canceled at the last minute. 2. Though you might have only one dentist, the other dentist (the female doctor's STRANGE brother) might just drift in and act as your dentist. 3. They will charge you up front rather than billing your insurance first. 4. They over-diagnose. 5. They over-treat. 6. They overcharge. 7. They cannot be trusted. Enough said. read more

My husband went there last year for dental work and all was alright. This year our insurance changed to Blue Shield PPO from Guardian PPO and they told him while in the chair that they "don't take" our insurance. It's a PPO which any reputable medical office knows means that we can choose our own dentist and they cover. They told him that he would need a pre-auth (for a painful broken tooth) because Blue Shield sometimes is bad about paying. What?! No, that's not the way it works. You bill them, they pay a lower amount because its out of network and WE THE PATIENT are responsible for the rest. Either way you get your money. Shady all around. The office staff is the issue here however, not Dr Cherise Wong. read more

I love these guys and am really sad to leave after 12 years with them. Unfortunately I moved away and it's just not convenient to drive all the way back to Sonoma for cleanings and stuff. Let me start by saying that I have horrible teeth (a genetic trait one of my sons inherited). I have a bridge, 2 crowns, and lost count of all the fillings. Though the bridge is from a fall. I love that they really truly care about their patients and take the time to get to know them. Cherise has always treated me like family. She works from the heart and does a great job. The dental hygienist have always done a great job as well, and I've never had any surprises as far as costs are concerned. Truly a great dentist office run by a loving family. read more

Dr Wong was incredibly patient with me and found something all other dentists have missed - a jaw issue that has lead to shifting of my teeth and gums. Couldn't recommend this practice more. Their staff and office is welcoming and really knowledgeable. read more

Dr. Cherise Wong is so caring, patient, and on it. Have been going to her for several years now, always looking out for my best interests. The cleanings are awesome and the dental work is top notch. In the process of getting a crown put in and she just called to check on me. I highly recommend her and the office is amazing. read more

Most awful dentist office I've ever been to. To start, they over charge and over treat. 27 dollars for a toothpaste that was supposed to magically fix my cavities and it was barely enough for a months supply. Second, I told them several times that I was on a budget and needed to know my expense before continuing with the work. So I sign an agreement saying how much I will owe at the time of the treatment, receive my treatment, pay my dues, and leave. Two weeks later a bill shows up in the mail for a couple hundred dollars!! It took me weeks to sort it out and get it revoked only to find out that "the dentist saw more work that needed to be done so she did it while she was already in there" ummm....No?!?! Why would you not tell me first before doing anything extra??? I had to go back twice to get my jaw fixed/aligned because they couldn't do it right the first time and kept saying "it should feel more normal as time goes by"....now today I received a 60 dollar bill for a "missed appointment" that I never even scheduled....What the hell is wrong with these people? I'm never going here again. Overpriced. Over diagnosed. Overly pathetic. read more

Dr. Cherise Wong is very through in her explanations and personable. The office and dental staff are friendly, yet professional. It's actually a pleasure to go to the dentist! read more

I cannot say enough about what a great Dentistry practice this is! I have been coming to Dr Cherise Wong for years but have seen Dr Aaron Wong and Dr Culp in the office as well. My kids are even super comfortable here and actually enjoy going to the Dentist which is amazing! I have always had great Dental work and great interactions with the hygienists and front desk. Thanks for all you do Dr's Wong and Dr Culp! read more

I'm terrified when it comes to going to the dentist! In the past I was traveling out of town and what a pain that is, I wanted to support a local office, and of course not wanting to travel. I decided to try Wong dentistry after referred by 2 of my co-workers. What an amazing office! From Janet, the receptionist, the dental hygienist's, Dr. Cherise and Dr. Culp.....what an amazing team. Everyone is so nice, professional, and they treated me great knowing my history if extreme anxiety. I defiantly recommend this office, so glad I found them. read more

So far the best dentist experience I have had. I have had several cleanings and a filling changed. Everyone is very polite and nice. They inform you what they are doing and so far its all been pain free. I have always had my insurance coverage explained clearly before they did any work and it was always accurate. read more

Wonderful office. I was a new patient in the Wongs' office. The staff are all very courteous, professional and friendly. As soon as I filled out my new patient paperwork, I was called back to get my teeth cleaned and x-rays. They explained every step of the cleaning and x-rays, and made sure I was comfortable the whole way through. I then inquired about having some teeth cosmetically altered, as I am a grinder, and a few of my teeth I had worn down and chipped. After consulting with Dr. Aaron, he recommended composite, instead of the veneers I was wanting. I also decided to do a bleaching treatment. The end result was perfect, more dramatic than I ever expected, without being too over-the-top-Hollywood-blindingly-white. Dr. Aaron is the BEST!! I can't thank these people enough! read more

Dr. Dempsey retired and Aaron and Cherise Wong have take over his practice, the inside now has scuff marks and paint chips. The fish tank now has just a few fish left and the tank is often dirty. Long gone are the flowers Bernadette loved. The hygienists now run from patient to patient w/o much time between them. I had a filling done but it wasn't done correctly and the surface is rough, I hate the daily reminder that the two need more experience. I hate to leave the dedicated staff but I can't stand my filling. You can find their full color ad in expensive Sonoma magazines that no Sonoman would read, you can find their elderly relative in the airstream located in the back parking lot with the extension cord running from it to the building. Who's paying for the electricity? read more

I had a dental emergency today, they were able to get me right in, everyone there was so sweet and compassionate, the office is very nice. Dr. Culp was my doctor and was amazing with her bedside manner knowing how much I despise dental work. I am in the middle of getting replacement veneers and so far I have to say I have no complaints and was happy with the service all around! read more

I recently moved to Sonoma and decided to try a local dentist. Somebody recommended Dr. Cherise Wong so I made an appointment. Everything was fine until she came in to discuss what I would need. That would be $7,200 worth of dental work. Having had long time treatment from a superior dentist in Oakland I was dubious of this conclusion. She showed me the dental x-rays to make her case. I have considerable experience in x-ray and saw that my teeth were sound except for one obvious defect. She said the defect was a cavity which would need an immediate crown. I took these conclusions back to my old dentist. He completely disagreed that I needed the work and said that my teeth were in fine shape. He also pointed out that the "cavity" was actually a filling using material that was clear on x-ray. That Dr. Wong would tell me that a filling was a cavity seemed a deception. I consider my experience with Dr. Wong as very unfortunate and I learned a lesson about the difficulty of giving up a good dentist. read more

We moved to Sonoma in 2012 and in Feb 2013 I went to Dr Wongs office for whitening trays.(there are 3 Wongs in that office a father(Richard, who I used and his two children). Xrays were made and trays were not offered nor discussed. Two days later I got a call from the receiptionist and she said"we have and opening tomorrow can you come?". I went to the appt expecting to get sized for trays. Dr Wong Said,"Let me see what is happening here and he began knocking off my crowns! He did not numb me so I was not expecting him to do this and we had not discussed it. I was shocked when I went to pay my co-pay and was told "We have used up your allowance with your Delta Dental insurance for the year(it was Feb) and you cant even have your teeth cleaned again until 2014 and your balance her is now 1250.00!My how I felt run over by a train! I paid 400.00(all I had) and left. The temp crown fell off away and I went back to Dr Wong and got another temp crown and paid 400.00 more.that crown fell off in 2 days and I went back and was told by the hygienist that my permanant crown was in. I said "great please put it on". She said "Only if you pay your balance of 389.00".I did not have the last installment that day and could not pay so she did not put the permanent one on. It required another trip to see Dr Wong after I got the money for the balance. I am staying as far away from there as I can now. Those people think money grows on trees! read more
