My office visit with Dr. Yung and his staff yesterday was outstanding. The entire team was…read morefriendly, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. They went above and beyond to ensure I was comfortable and fully understood every procedure and treatment option available to me. The staff took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything clearly. If a service was not available in their office, they provided referrals to help me continue my dental care without delay. I only wish Dr. Yung could provide all of my dental needs. I drove two and a half hours for this appointment, and it was absolutely worth every mile. The exceptional care, professionalism, and dedication of Dr. Yung and his team made the trip worthwhile. I highly recommend their practice to anyone seeking outstanding dental care.

If only smiling and being concerned with patient, comfort made a good dentist. My first and only…read morevisit to this dentist consisted of a dental cleaning by the doctor that took less than 10 minutes. No cancer screening examination. Clinical hygiene issues that left me very concerned that I could get an infection from the visit. The dentist did not practice any form of hand hygiene. He simply changed his outer pair of latex gloves for new ones. He was wearing filthy surgical scrubs that he'd clearly been wearing all day long. Some of the dental instruments were severely scratched and worn. I did not ask about an autoclave or sterilization procedures, but I know from my experience working in a hospital that any instrument that scratched should be discarded immediately. You also have to change all of your PPE completely between patients after you wash your hands, even if wearing gloves. Safety concerns, quality of care and antiquated equipment all combine to eliminate this practice from future consideration for me.

It's important that your care providers listen to you and your concerns…read more This attribute of the doctors & staff is one of the reasons I have remained a patient for many years.

I don't do one star or two stars very often, but sometimes it's needed. I had read good reviews…read moreonline about the office, and after a small mix-up with the two offices and which Doctor was in the network, I found the one. I thought things were cooking in a good way. I met with the doctor, and we went over the plans of what cavities I needed to have fixed and the cleaning as well. She seemed nice, but rushed and quick. The chairs also are not in their own private space its all together, so that is not my favorite either. The front desk people have a hard job. I get it, customers and clients are just trying to make sure that they are getting the right insurance billed and collecting the right money. Anyway, I had to change something last minute, and let me say, normally I think that sometimes that is asking a lot, but other times I think that it's doable and not with a certain attitude about it. I did share that I have a disability that is not always seen from an outisder nebver the less I help brige that with my letter from my doctor and me. I had one hygienist who was really good with me. She helps make the experiences so good that I share them with them, and that if I could have her again, that would be great. Well, they never had me with her; instead, I was with others who probably never read my letter. The times that I had to get cavities filled, it was really scary and hard; there were lots of butterflies and tears. I have always had tears, and in my last office, my dentist and the hygienist were amazing; they would go above and beyond to help me. Here, nothing, just kept going and then sat in the chair, and then moved on. I was just a patient here, and one that most likely was labeled a challenge. I finally was done walking out of the office with tears each time. I have found a new office that welcomes disabilities and does a great job of comforting and caring for each person's life. They are family and not just a patient. This might be a great option for someone, but not for me. I want a place where you are welcomed for you diffenreces or not, and where being scared or nervous is not a bother, but instead they take the extra time to help make it a better experience.

The office doesn't refund you, they keep your money until you complain and tell them you will take the appropriate legal action! I was there 2-3 months ago for tooth pain, he barely did a thing and was in a hurry to move on to the next patient, so he's like give it 7-14 days for the pain to go away uh REALLY? That was unacceptable. Then proceeds to look at my gums and after 3 minutes, he's like you have beginning gum disease and I think to myself, the hell I do lol and tell me I need a deep cleaning which by the way is EXPENSIVE!! And you have to put a $100 deposit, some gal said if you cancel at last min/day before they keep that deposit, so I knew I didn't need that cleaning and canceled like 2 weeks in advance and they never refunded our money until Jan 2025, when I contacted them to complain. We finally got out $100 deposit back this month Jan 2025, my tooth pain hardly went away, I contacted this office several times and NO RESPONSE!! Mean time my husband who was in the waiting room, also heard Dr Patel saying to least a few other patients, you need a deep cleaning. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! There are plenty of better dentists out there!
