They agree they owe it. Two weeks ago I gave them my checking account information. AGAIN. Today I was told someone shredded it by accident?!?! Dr. Tseng and Annie were lovely to me when I went there. However, their new manager, Jennifer is not. She informed me that she has only been there only three weeks, was on overload, and wasn't there last year when this occurred. Of course, that doesn't mean the debt is absolved. I didn't understand her thinking about that..it makes no sense. Then, I suggested I come in. She said you can come in all you want but no one can help you. What? Then why take my information if no one can help me? I would hope in this same situation, I would be solicitous, understanding and apologetic. All of which Jennifer was not. Put a call into Annie.. still waiting.

I honestly don't even know where to begin. My visit started off fine--the dental hygienist seemed…read morenice, polite, and genuinely sweet.But halfway through the appointment, that completely changed. In my personal experience, the hygienist's attitude flipped out of nowhere. Instead of maintaining the same kindness she began with, she started mock what I would say and ask condescending question . Not just once over and over. I couldn't believe I was sitting in a professional medical setting being spoken to that way. It was uncomfortable, humiliating, and honestly baffling. I was literally stuck in the chair while someone who is supposed to be a healthcare professional acted like I was a joke. By the end, I walked out feeling worse than when I walked in. A dental office should make patients feel safe, respected, and cared for not embarrassed. During my appointment I felt all of those things. In my opinion, the behavior I experienced was completely unprofessional and unacceptable. I will definitely not be returning, and I'd strongly suggest anyone who values basic courtesy think twice before booking an appointment here. ABSOULUTLEY UNBELIEVABLE!!

My husband left but asked to be called back to explain what happened. We never heard a word. He did the same thing to my co-worker's friend.

I've seen some reviews here which say differently, but that has not been my experience. In fact, 3 or 4 years ago the outer portion of one of my teeth, which had a very old filling inside (which was done long before he was my dentist) fell off while I was eating lunch.

I am sharing this story in the hopes it prevents someone else from experiencing the same scenario I…read moredid. I had an insurance change and Dr. Kowal was in in-network for both me and my wife. I found a couple reviews online and all were positive. I decided to give her a try. The office staff are all very nice and the environment is clean and presentable. Dr. Kowal did 4 fillings for me; 2 on top and 2 on bottom. All fillings were between teeth. She tends to rush into the exam room, operate quickly and then leave quickly. She was not very sensitive or gentle while working on my teeth. A couple times I had to ask her to stop because she had her hands pressed on my face while operating and it was uncomfortable. I've been going to dentists all my life and never experienced this before. I've had root canals, wisdom teeth pulled, etc. Immediately following my bottom fillings I was experiencing sensitivity to any temperature of fluid. I called the office and her staff advised me sometimes fillings can take 4-6 weeks to stop being sensitive. I waited a total of 7-weeks, having no use of the left side of my mouth the entire time. I've never had a problem with a tooth healing slowly in the past and I have had fillings and root canals done by other providers. If it were just hot/cold I would have wrote it off as the tooth needing a root canal but even room temperature water was sensitive to the tooth. I went back to Dr. Kowal who offered to do a sedative filling. I asked her to take a new x-ray and examine the current filling for any issues as the sensitivity didn't feel normal. She did the new x-ray and said everything looked fine. I stated I wanted a second opinion and took my new x-ray to my original provider (who is now out of network). My original provider immediately identified 2 issues with Dr. Kowal's filling and later a third issue: First, the filling was not closed on the bottom which allowed liquid to go into the nerve area. Second, the filling was loose; also explains the extreme sensitivity. Third, the cavity was not completely cleaned out and would have had to either be re-done or would've turned into a root canal in time. Two days after my original provider re-did the filling I was feeling significantly better and experiencing little zero sensitivity. My top filling is now also having the same issue. My bottom filling turned into a root canal due to having to be fixed so many times. My top filling is likely going to be a root canal as well. What should have been 2 standard fillings turned into 2 root canals, months of tooth pain and hundreds of dollars spent on crowns due to sloppy work. Just to further confirm my suspicions, my previous provider closely monitors teeth that might be developing a cavity and he said none of the teeth Dr. Kowal worked on showed any signs of a cavity. I refuse to believe in the 6-months between visits I developed 4 cavities. I am concluding Dr. Kowal worked on teeth that did not need fillings and performed sloppy work. Based on this I would NEVER use Dr. Kowal again. UPDATE::: 7/7/16 I have since learned that the teeth Dr. Kowal worked on were marked by my previous provider as going to need fillings in the future. I had previously made the assumption Dr. Kowal worked on teeth that did not need them. That is inaccurate. I still stand by my comments that she is not gentle enough during exams and procedures and the fact that one of my fillings was done very poorly, having multiple issues. I still would not use her again nor would I recommend her.

Some of the lower reviews are about front of the office staff, which I vaguely recall being a bit gruff, 10+ years ago but everyone the past few years have been lovely. I have had two root canals (hey I'm 40 such is life) and one was done excellently by Dr. Chris during 2020 in COVID. He did a great job relieving the pain I had been in for a few months. Anyway, highly recommend this practice 10 out of 10 for the last decade or so.

His kindness, honesty, and steady professionalism truly set him apart. As someone who gets a little anxious in the dental chair, I can honestly say Dr. Chris has earned my full trust. He's gentle, patient, and takes the time to explain everything in a way that puts you at ease. I've recommended this office to friends and family, and I'll continue to do so for years to come. It's rare to find a dentist who's not only skilled but genuinely cares--this office checks every box!

The friendly demeanor of the dentist and staff does not make up for the serious and unacceptable…read moreproblems I experienced at this office. I was overcharged, and my insurance was submitted claims for procedures that were never performed, which raises serious ethical and billing concerns. After a crown was placed in March 2025, my regular dentist later found excess cement left directly on my gum line--a basic and preventable error. My dentist was extremely disturbed by this and stated it could have caused damage to my gums. Leaving cement behind reflects a clear lack of attention to standard dental care and patient safety. To make matters worse, the crown fell off while I was eating (and unfortunately swallowed) yet I was told I would need to pay out of pocket for a completely new crown, despite the original being placed only months earlier. Refusing to stand behind recent work while shifting the financial burden onto the patient is unprofessional and unacceptable. Between the billing irregularities, substandard workmanship, and lack of accountability, I strongly advise others to avoid this office altogether. If you do choose to go here, verify every charge, closely monitor what is submitted to your insurance, and be prepared to seek corrective care elsewhere.
