Just became new Patient's here at Friendly Dental Care. I was impressed on the very 1st call by the politeness and knowledge received from Grace when scheduling a new patient appointment. The staff is friendly, caring and most importantly, efficient when providing dental services. I am very happy with the quality of care given and would recommend this office to anyone looking for a great dentist. Dr. Cho is great. I am looking forward to remain a long standing patient here. read more

If you're looking for a new dentist, look no further. From the moment you walk in you get greeted like family, family you actually like. From the reception staff to the dental staff everyone is super nice and takes the time to explain the process in great detail with a smile. Although I prefer to be anywhere other than a dental office, I actually don't mind this place. You get treated with amazing service. I've been to other dental offices and this stands out in a great way. I highly recommend this dental office to anyone. They made me a customer for life, keep up the amazing customer service. read more

After reading the reviews and growing tired of waiting hours to be seen at my previous dentist--sometimes spending the whole visit without ever being called--I decided to give this place a try. From the moment I walked in, I was warmly greeted by Grace with a genuine smile and welcoming tone. I was the only one in the waiting room, which was clean and inviting, with snacks, coffee, water, and juice available. It smelled so fresh and well-kept. I was called in exactly at my appointment time. The hygienist took my X-rays and completed the cleaning all in the same room. She was very gentle and thorough--scraping each tooth, flossing, and polishing with care. The dentist arrived afterward, reviewed my X-rays, and performed a detailed examination. He had such a friendly and upbeat demeanor that immediately put me at ease. I highly and wholeheartedly recommend this dental office without reservation. read more

From the moment you walk in, the staff makes you feel welcomed and at ease, which is so important when you're heading into a dental appointment. The office is clean and always runs on time. The staff is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly friendly and attentive. They take the time to explain every procedure and answer all of my questions, which helps calm any nerves I have. I initially came in as a new patient when I cracked my crown and the entire process was smooth and pain-free. They genuinely care about your comfort throughout the visit. Just had my deep cleaning done recently and I was given a treatment plan that would better help my oral health and hygiene and I didn't feel judged or uncomfortable at all. They really care about their patients and this has been my best dental experience of my life! read more

Great dental office! I've gone to other dentists in the past and usually feel very pressured and anxious by the people working in the dental offices, but everyone here has been very kind and informative. I feel like many offices don't explain things well and immediately start trying to get you to pay for things and push extra procedures without taking the time to explain what's going on, which has only made me feel like I couldn't tridt what they were telling me. At Friendly Dental, I never felt shamed, just informed! (We already know what we haven't been doing right, no need to berate us ) I had a crown and a couple fillings replaced so far, and everything's been going well. I was really anxious during the procedure(s), but the team did a great job of making sure I was numbed and checking in on me. There was the normal pressure that comes with dental work, but nothing extreme or out of the ordinary. I'd also like to add that they were extremely helpful getting me seen while I'm at the end of my pregnancy. Not that there's an ideal time to have dental issues, but this is definitely not one of em lol If you need, they can put you down on a wait-list if you're trying to be seen sooner! Nothing promised of course, but it's nice to know that they try(: It's also convenient that they are able to send out text reminders and follow ups! My review is a bit all over the place (pregnancy brain, ha), but all in all I'd like to say that I'm so glad I came across this office and will continue to get dental work done here! read more

I've had really good experiences coming to this dental office. I don't have to wait long to be seen, and all of the staff has been very friendly and helpful. read more

This dental practice lives up to the name of friendly! Never ran into an instance where I couldn't express my concerns or ask my questions about things. They are very organized and on top of their appointments. It's extremely easy to schedule with the group and I never feel pressured to do anything. Dr.Cho is also very nice and calm. He meets me every time before a cleaning or procedure to go over what is going to happen. They always check in to make sure I'm alright and make sure I'm comfortable through the procedure. Would recommend! read more

Only reason I give two stars is because the office staff, and dental assistant (or hygienist) were really awesome. If you have any children that are younger and scared of the dentist DO NOT go here. Dr. Sam Cho is NOT a children's dentist by far. He seems very inpatient when it comes to the feelings of his patients that are children. My daughter is only 6 years old and had a to have a filing, instead of waiting for her to calm down he says "I can't work on her" walks away and says "I'm going to recommend her to a specialist." We went to a dentist with horrible ratings who had the empathy to wait and was able to work on my daughter. IF YOU HAVE SMALL CHILDREN SCARED OF THE DENTIST DO NOT GO HERE. read more

I came here to have extensive work done on teeth that I've been neglecting for a while. Dr. Cho did a good job of repairing failed fillings and extracting a few wisdom teeth. The entire office has a friendly demeanor with an inviting atmosphere. The follow-up calls post procedure were really appreciated. This is now my regular go-to dentist office. read more

Got all 4 wisdom teeth pull out here only 30 mins! Everyone was very friendly & attentive to my needs Highly recommended! read more

The whole staff have been great. It is always a nice experience with the front desk. They are clean and efficient and I cannot recall ever waiting long to be seated at the dental chair. read more

While I know many don't particularly love going to the dentist, I have severe diagnosed day to day anxiety and my dental anxiety is pretty debilitating. That coupled with hereditary dental issues, it's typically a recipe for disaster every time I walk into the dentist haha! I found Friendly Dental in a bit of an emergency several years ago after I broke a tooth on a Friday afternoon at a holiday party and they've been nothing less than amazing with me every time since then. From Josie at the front desk, to Grace's reminder texts (from a real human and not auto texts), to the office visits themselves. I remember my first visit literally being in tears (yes, as a mother of 2 in her 30's) and Kristen the dental assistant literally reassuring me the whole time. She kept putting her hand on me like I've got you. Dr Cho has always been patient and explained everything to me in detail so that I understand what my options are and bared with me through some not so enjoyable experiences when I know I'm worse to deal with than a child (even though he tells me I'm not lol). Destinee the Hygienist usually wants to lecture me (much deserved) because my flossing habits are not as beautiful as she leaves me, but she knows I'm a Rams fan and will talk about that while cleaning too to make the time go by faster and the whole situation a little less anxious. Josie always calls a day or two after to check in too. I actually just had a pretty lengthy not so pleasant visit yesterday, and Dr Cho personally text me to check on me yesterday evening and Josie called me this evening to check in as well. While I hate the whole act of having to go to the dentist, it's all the people there that genuinely make me feel like they CARE that make it more bearable. It's the simple things like knowing your name when you walk in the door, the emojis via texts when asking a question or confirming, the giggles and talking about plans for the day and holiday that make you feel like they genuinely care about you and you're not just a a dollar sign walking in and out of their doors like I've felt at many other dentist offices throughout my life. Based on that alone, I always recommend them to anyone local who is looking for a dentist! read more

The hygienists and receptionist are very kind and willing to be very clear about your needs while not being pushy if there's something you may or may not need to quite get done that might cost more! Very thorough and straight forward. While getting work done they're super patient and thoughtful with the whole process. read more

Dr Cho is a very gentle and patient dentist. I'm very fearful of dentists but feel fine in his office. Grace and the entire staff are friendly and very accommodating. My whole family goes here now. read more

Let me start off by saying I HATE going to the dentist just from having traumatic past experiences, but I was forced to find a dentist due to chipping my tooth. I read the reviews for Friendly Dental and thought I'd give them a try. Upon arrival to my initial appointment, I must say that their office was very clean and smelled so good from the burning candle, which gives the lobby a nice, welcoming vibe. I was then immediately greeted by Josie and Grace, the sweet women at the front desk who are also super helpful. I didn't get to complete the papers for first-time patients because they called me in before I could even take a seat. So amazing customer service for sure. Now, the scary part... getting my work done... The dental assistant was very friendly and explained every step they were going to do with me. Then soon after, Dr. Cho came in and checked my teeth. He was so gentle, light-handed, and very nice. He started to work on my teeth (placed a temporary crown and filled some teeth). As nervous and scared as I was, he made me feel comfortable and at ease and made the experience a good one where I wasn't so anxious to go back for my follow-up appointment. He even sent me a text message to let me know what I should be expecting after getting my permanent crown put in and to call or message him for any questions. I really appreciated that! I'm so happy I found this place and a dentist who took my anxiety and fears of dentists away! Thank you, Dr.Cho and staff!!! read more

I never have to wait more than 5 minutes at the office and and the staff are always friendly. I always feel at ease in their office. I will always recommend Friendly Dental Care to those looking for a dentist. read more

I've been going to Dr Cho for years and wanted to let everyone know how great him and his staff are. They are kind and caring and excellent at their jobs. They are excellent at getting a time that works for you!! Also they always check how ur doing after treatment. read more

I had the best experience at friendly dental care! Grace is so amazing and helping with scheduling appointments. She truly goes above and beyond! Dr.Cho and his assistant were absolutely. I expressed my concerns and issues I have had at past dental offices. Dr. Cho worked so quickly and checked in on my every step of the way. Thank you so much making my teeth feel new again :) read more

I recently moved and had to start over. Finding the right dentist is very important and with Friendly Dental, I feel I have. My previous dentist was excellent and I felt I would not find a replacement or at least have to settle. Friendly Dental has superseded my expectations. They are a great place to go and receive dental care. I love their staff and how "at home" they make me feel. They are very professional. Dr Cho has a great bedside manner and it makes me feel confident in him. 100% confident I have made the right choice. read more

I was looking for a new dentist in our area and came across friendly dental care. I'm usually very hesitant going to a place where family or friends haven't gone to before but I'm so glad I came here. Everyone in the office is very friendly and personable. They also call and text reminders before your upcoming appointment, which I love! My kid also enjoyed getting her first cleaning and check up here. They also have a kids room that's so helpful when us parents have an appointment. No need to worry about someone watching the kids! Couldn't recommend friendly dental care enough! read more

Dr Cho and his staff are well trained and very professional. I would recommend this Dentist to anybody in the area or even out of the area. I live approximately 85 miles away and I still make it out to their office because of their professionalism and caretaking in providing services, I've been going to Dr Cho since 2006. read more

All the staff are professionals..... Dr. Cho did a great job. Will definitely recommend.

I got my wisdom teeth removed after after the whole process they were really helpful in helping get me thru the process. If you have any questions or concerns through out your healing process they will answer right away I would highly recommend coming to this dentist. read more

Looking for a GOOD dentist is not easy. I feel I found a GREAT dentist not to mention all the ladies that make my experience a relaxing and comfortable visit. Josie always has a smile when I visit. And the hygienist is very comforting when working on my teeth. My entire family love Friendly Dental Care. We all feel comfortable knowing we're getting the best care possible. read more

Dr. Cho and his team at Friendly Dental provide competent and professional dental services with a warm touch. My family has been coming here for several years and we feel like we are treated like family whenever we come in for a checkup or cleaning. When we've needed work done, Dr. Cho very thoroughly explains why he is recommending a procedure, gives you the pros and cons, and let's you decide what's appropriate for you. The office staff are also great, with text messages and phone calls to remind you of appointments and to check up on you after you've had a procedure requiring local anesthesia. If you're looking for a great dentist who cares about the well-being of his patients, look no farther than Friendly Dental. read more

I've gone for 3 cleanings now and the staff there are super professional and prompt. I typically have had long wait times at the dentist but it's like they're prepared for me right when I walk in. The dental hygienist is thorough and does a good job. Dr. Cho takes the time to answer all my questions and really takes my concerns seriously. I've honestly never been this satisfied with a dentist before read more

-I really wanted to like this place with all its great reviews but unfortunately I had a root canal done here that left me a little concerned. Upon going to get it checked out by another dentist, it turned out I had to be sent to a root canal specialist as the implant for root canal was inserted too far past my gum line. I had to have a CT scan and had a lot of pain and headaches and jaw ache for three weeks and had to take high doses of pain killers those three weeks. -Additionally they charged me a lot of money for each visit even though I had dental coverage. And I noticed that every other dentist I've been to with my exact same dental insurance coverage does not seem to charge anywhere close to the amount they charge. - finally, the dentist said my husband needed a few fillings redone as they seemed very old and could possibly turn into a root canal. When my husband went to another dentist for a second opinion, the dentist said his teeth looked great and there were no fillings needed. I really debated writing this review as these guys seemed like good people. Even after my bad root canal experience I didn't want to leave a bad review. However upon finding out that my husband didn't need any fillings upon getting the second opinion, I felt that I should leave this review. read more

My wife and I have been going here for a few years. And now, our little one as well. The front office is great. They keep you updated regarding your appointment. Friendly staff. Excellent care. Highly recommended for the entire family. read more

I found this office for my children first because their pediatric dentist always ran late. They are always prompt at Friendly Dental. I ended up switching over here myself because I really liked the attention and care that my children received. Dr. Cho and the hygienists are very trustworthy and knowledgeable. The name of the practice holds true at this office. Every person I've talked to is always so caring and do not make me feel like I'm being charged for extra things like at my last dental office in the area. I highly recommend this practice! read more

I highly recommend Friendly Dental Care! I have been to 3 different dentists in the last 6 years and I was feeling extremely discouraged. I searched yelp and went with Dr. Cho because of all of the good reviews. I was blown away by the level of professionalism and kindness that everyone shows, to every person that walks through the door. They take so many extra steps to ensure you have a good experience, every time. From water, to glasses (to avoid the bright lights) to providing detailed instructions for follow up care and ACTUALLY following up after procedures. Their attention to details puts them high above the rest. read more

Friendly Dental has given me an amazing experience so far. I've had several different dentists over the course of my life, and the technology and methods they are definitely some of the best! I've noticed all the small details they have taken to help make sure it is a great experience. When I got some fillings done, they put vaseline on my lips so that way my lips would not get chapped during the procedure. Another thing they did was they had me swap out my glasses with a protective pair they had to prevent any water stains from forming on my glasses. These are some of the things I did not even think about, but these small details they did made my experience so much better. Costs can always vary amongst Dental Practices, but they are very transparent and provide you with a roadmap and treatment plan ahead of time so you know what it will take to get your dental care and services taken care of. This is something I really appreciated! Covid-19: They take very good precautions and made me feel safe to get dental work done during this pandemic! read more

If you're looking for a dentist and dental office. I would highly recommend, Dr. Cho and his practice. My family has been his patient's for 5 years; one year, we mistakenly chose the wrong insurance and weren't able to go there and it was a difficult dental year for us. This dental office is very clean, and I mostly enjoy having a great relationship with Dr. Cho, Josie, and Grace. If you're looking, this would be the best spot for you and your family. Clean, efficient, safe, and helpful. Great place for children and adults read more

I've been looking for a dentist since I just moved to this area and I'm very lucky to have found this dentistry! I found them through Yelp and I'm so happy I did. They follow all the COVID protocols and send out texts (very convenient!!) to notify patients about upcoming appointments. Dr. Cho is really friendly, knowledgeable, and does great work. Josie and Grace are always so accommodating the minute you walk in and will always check in with you through text/phone call after procedures. The dental assistants are also very accommodating and you can tell they really care about their patients. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

I've been coming to Friendly Dental care since I was in high school and they do not disappoint! Everyone that works there is so friendly and really treats you with such care. I would recommend friendly dental to anyone who is looking for quality dental services! :) read more

I've been going to Friendly Dental Care for more than 4 years now and have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Cho, his kind staff, and their wonderful dental practice. Everyone treats you with the utmost professionalism, friendliness, gentleness, and respect. What I particularly like is how they take x-rays of your teeth at the start of every visit - this way, over the years, I'm able to keep track of the health of my teeth. I tend to get lock-jaw when I open my mouth too wide for long periods of time, but they've always been so incredibly understanding, allowing me to close my mouth every few seconds to take a break. I really like how Dr. Cho and his staff connect with me on a personal level - they really do treat you like family here. They also have a mini-fridge in the lobby with refreshments to enjoy, which is always a nice plus ;) If you're looking for a quality dentist in the area, I'd highly recommend that you visit Friendly Dental Care. You won't regret it. read more

I'm very pleased to call this place my new dental office. As a new customer I was nervous with all the work I needed to get done BUT everyone from the front desk, assistants and Dr made me feel so comfortable. I had a difficult wisdom tooth that needed to be pulled out. Before, during and after my procedure they would make sure I was feeling okay. They even called/texted me days after my wisdom tooth removal to make sure I was recovering at home okay! read more

Still great coming here. Whole family comes here and have great experiences from day one. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming.

My veneer broke , so I called Dr. Cho's office. They were able to squeeze me in that same afternoon and put a temporary bond on until the veneer came. I had to be very careful, but it lasted without a problem. The whole office was kind and professional, from the front desk to the back. They were happy to answer any questions I had, and gave me excellent care. I would highly recommend them if you're looking for great dental care. read more

I have been going here for a few months now. The dental care is very good. They are caring, calm, and really want to make sure you are as comfortable as possible. My favorite thing about them is their level of communication. They always follow up to ensure I am not having any issues. And their responses are very much real and thought out. I highly recommend this dentist! read more

Found this Dental office on yelp after seeing all of the good reviews so now it's my turn. The office staff is incredibly friendly, the hygienists are professional, knowledgeable, and very caring. Dr. Cho takes the time to explain everything to you and makes you feel valued as a patient. I was also always taken back at my appointment time and never had to wait 30+ minutes in the waiting room like I have had to do at previous dental offices. I would 100% recommend this location to anyone looking for a new dentist! read more
