    I just got 4 wisdom teeth taken out. No biggie. Except I'm 17 and have never been under anesthesia…read morebefore. In the process of scheduling it was half impossible to actually get on the phone with anyone but that's alright. During my consultation appointment they put on a YouTube video for me to watch, after I finished that a "doctor" came in telling me about these 3D x rays they apparently needed to complete the surgery and basically saying we can't see anything without them. She told me medical doesn't cover it so I'd have to pay. Cool not a big deal. Basically I drove 3 hours to watch a YouTube video and have a mall salesperson dressed in scrubs sell me on something I later was told I did not at all need. Then at my surgery appointment. Helpful office staff I would give the secretary 5 stars but once it came to the people actually working on me I have no clue how they passed bedside manners in whatever education they got. Couldn't tell you their names because no one said hi hello I'll be doing abc today. Just filing into the room and hooking me up to things. I understand when you do the same routine over and over it gets boring or maybe your just not a big small talk person but you cannot expect a patient to be okay with the fact that your about to reach in their mouth and rip stuff out and the patient doesn't even know your name? Insane. Doctor dismissed a lot of my questions like snapping at me to hurry up and just put me under. Woke up sitting alone in the corner in a wheelchair fading in and out of anesthesia sleep pretty much totally unattended. Never in my life have I ever been in such an unprofessional healthcare setting. Lady who took me back and started hooking me up was in training I guess it would've been nice if they disclosed that while poking at me (I only realized when another tech had her feeling on my veins, not at all talking to me or acknowledging that there was a human attached to the arm they were touching). Over their lack of communication and bedside manners and lack of basic patient care brought this experience to 1 star, 0 if I could. If you can avoid this place do. It's the closest place that takes medical so most people on medical just get sent here. Staff isn't worried about your wellbeing just a check. Not sure how well the work was done but I guess we'll find that part out.

    I just got done from my first dental cleaning in over 6 years... you read that right - 6 YEARS. I…read morewas slightly nervous (it is the dentist office after all) and excited to visit Dr. Chui's office as he had so many positive ratings. It took 1.5 months to get my first introductory cleaning + x-ray exam due to him being so busy. But, I now understand why he is so well-liked and highly requested. The dental hygienists and staff were so welcoming and friendly. They made me at peace the whole time. Somehow, my hygienist was able to clean my "6-year old" teeth in 1 hour... I could feel and see the difference instantly! It was amazing. Dr. Chui is a warm, friendly and thorough dentist. His office is equipped with the latest technology. While I was lying in the chair, I was able to see the exact teeth he was referencing and talking about via a large computer monitor hanging from the roof which was connected to a livestream camera... so awesome! Dr. Chui was able to show me on the screen where a cavity was forming and how I was grinding/clenching my teeth down. I could clearly see the uneven borders and enamel and even hairline cracks in my teeth through the screen images. I assume I have been doing this for years but Dr. Chui is the first dentist to go out of his way to educate me on this. While there, I even decided to purchase a custom-mold dental guard. This product is offered by Dr. Chui's office. Dr. Chui had two options to choose from and even insisted I purchase the more economical option to see if I utilized the guard enough before purchasing the more expensive one. He was upfront, honest and not "pushy" in any regard. In two hours at Dr. Chui's office, I learned more about dental hygiene and my own teeth structure then I had learned ever before. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Chui and his staff to anyone in the area looking for a well-mannered, thorough and friendly dental office.

    Dr. Chui and his team changed the way I see dentist visits overall. I have been going to Dr. Chui's…read moreoffice for a little over 6 years now and its always a great visit. The team knows who I am and they make me feel welcomed. The team is super friendly, approachable and professional. Dr. Chui is knowledgeable, gentle and all around a great individual to deal with. I will continue to go to him until the end of time even as my insurance changes policies and coverages.

    This place is terrible. Thankfully I had a bad feeling about them and found someone else…read more I took my teen daughter in may 9 for a consultation to have her wisdom teeth removed as we were referred by her ped. Dentist. I received a bill 8/11 for $223 for the consult. No one called let me know how much they billed $366 for the consult, and on top of that the office doesn't have a scale but they put people under (apparently they just take your word for your weight) my teen doesn't weigh herself and they asked me to estimate. I was 25 pounds off. The doc wasn't reassuring and now my kid is unrealistically afraid of the surgery and no one ever called me to let me know how much the surgery would be or when we could get her on the schedule. I was hoping she could have her wisdom teeth removed over the summer but now I have to start all over with another office. I'm glad this place thinks so highly of themselves. As a parent, I can't charge them for my time but I sure can protect my kids from them. After reading some terrible reviews, I'm just lucky I felt all the bad vibes before something much worse happened.

    My daughter and I both had appointments for evaluation. When the receptionist asked my name, first…read moreshe said she didn't have any appointment for me, even though my chart seemed to be the one on top of her stack. Then she told me she had no appointment for my daughter even though her orthodontist had sent the referral over which I confirmed when I made our dual appointments. The waiting room was completely filled which means they were running behind and did not care about inconveniencing their patients. We are all busy and should not tolerate people or businesses disrespectful to their patients/customers by not seeing them on time. Disaster!

    Finding a great dentist is harder than it should be…read more When I needed a new dentist who took my insurance--one I trusted enough for both routine cleanings and a crown--I searched my town and the surrounding area and was disheartened by what I found. Hardly anyone had good reviews. (I think it's because people write reviews when they're unhappy and stay quiet when they're not.) I want to be the exception, because Dr. Seung Lee at Novato Smiles Dentistry deserves to be found. I came in a little nervous, as most people are with a new dentist. Dr. Lee immediately put me at ease. He's a great listener, gentle, and takes the time to explain your options without making you feel rushed. He was on time, efficient, and treated me like a person. Getting a crown is not something I was willing to do with just anyone, and after this visit, I knew I'd found the right dentist. When I mentioned my Invisalign retainer, he made sure it would work with both the temporary and permanent crown--no extra charge, no big deal made of it. That kind of quiet thoughtfulness says a lot about someone. If you're searching for a dentist in the area and feeling discouraged, I hope this helps. Dr. Lee is everything you'd want: knowledgeable, kind, patient, and genuinely invested in your care.

    I was promised a payment plan. I gave 500.00 at check out after learning I needed a root canal. I…read morewas hesitant to move forward due to price of a couple thousand. The Assistant Operations Manger (Sydney Morse) was very nice and printed out my payment schedule. She assured me it would be about 290.00 a month. I agreed. 2 weeks later I met the root canal dr. She was very nice. However, at check out the front office lady asked me for 500.00 for the root canal dr. I explained the payment plan. She insisted I had to pay 500.00 on this saturday. I followed up with 2 phone calls with Vanessa at the front desk re: my FRUSTRATION. She explained that someone was out sick both times. Still no call back and procedure was completed 2/7/26. Today is 3/9/26. Back office is pretty solid. Front desk frantic and not communicating well with patient. Will not recommend to other due to POOR follow up.

The team is highly skilled and knowledgeable, ensuring that each patient receives the best possible treatment tailored to their unique needs. Their state-of-the-art technology and modern techniques make the entire orthodontic process more efficient and comfortable. Additionally, their commitment to patient education and clear communication fosters a sense of trust and confidence in their care. Overall, the professional yet compassionate approach of Wilson & Kim Orthodontics makes the journey to a perfect smile an enjoyable experience. I had this duplicate review in my drafts but forgot to post it and thought I'd post it anyways.

    I've been disappointed by how much the pricing has increased over time, particularly for something…read moreas straightforward as a replacement retainer. There no longer seems to be any consideration or loyalty pricing for long-term patients. After calling around to other local orthodontic offices, I found comparable replacement retainers for nearly half the cost, and overall pricing differences that can amount to thousands of dollars for similar services. I've had orthodontic care at other offices in the past, including a more affordable practice in Novato (now retired) and Wilson, and the quality of results was the same. Unfortunately, this office now feels far more expensive than others offering comparable care. While the staff and outcomes have been ok, the pricing no longer feels competitive or reflective of long-standing patient relationships. I would encourage prospective patients to compare pricing with other offices before committing. Also, most advanced offices offer scanners instead of molds, so much more precise! And now if one loses retainer the can use scan avoiding costly old fashion mold replacement. Probably no good for $ for dentist but great for patients!
