I've been a patient of Dr Kwon's for a few years and finally decided to write a review after my…read moremost recent visit. I should have written this a long time ago. I went in for a routine cleaning and Gayle was absolutely phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for a more friendly and personable hygienist. She genuinely made the experience pleasant and enjoyable. Dr Kwon and his team are the absolute best. The facilities are immaculate, service is stellar and there is an obvious focus on fostering relationships. The care he extends to his patients and the community is apparent to anyone who has spent any time with him. For those that have never been to the office, it is the cleanest, most technologically advanced dental office you've ever seen. I can understand why some people think it is corporate owned. They couldn't be more wrong. Grace Dental is a family owned small business with an exceptional owner in Dr Kwon and his wife who are simply professional beyond belief, take pride in their business and pay attention to the smallest details. If you're looking for a dentist that is amazing at what they do, provide amazing service, and are relational, this is it.

I recently visited this dental office for a routine cleaning, but the appointment turned out to be…read morefrustrating and heavily rushed. Despite booking a full-service cleaning, the hygienist spent nearly an hour touring the facility, asking extensive dental history questions, running scans, and reviewing potential treatment plans--with the dentist briefly stepping in at the end. It quickly became clear that this prolonged diagnostic process was just a setup to rack up exam fees and manufacture a reason to push costly, unnecessary treatments for profit. After all that administrative and diagnostic time, the actual physical teeth cleaning lasted less than 10 minutes, only for them to tell me I suddenly needed a deep cleaning. Spending an hour padding charges and pushing over-treatment only to rush through a less than10-minute cleaning does not feel like quality patient care. Won't be returning.

Dr Lucy Hua: I can NOT recommend…read more I did significant research and she came to the top of the list; but I went to see her. In her office, she had another dentist see me. They took a large number of x-rays. When they found out that I had another insurance policy as well, she decided to take even more x-rays. The work plan clearly would finance a new car. Couldn't believe the amount of decay that was discovered by this dentist and needed work. This reminded me of over 40+ years ago, my now wife, went to a dentist for an emergency and that dentist agreed to treat her, if she would come back for needed polishing of her amalgams. My old dentist didn't see these issues. I went to a new dentist a year later, who took new x-rays. This dentist, also a woman, is not on my dental plan; but is highly recommended. I had one cracked filling that needed to be repaired. Most of this was not covered by insurance; but turns out this was MUCH less money and much less impact to my mouth. Given the research I had done and the recommendations I had received, you can tell that I'm EXTREMELY disappointed in Lucy Hua's office. My teeth and mouth are in much better shape in not going to her practice!

I am new to the Bay Area, having just moved here from San Diego. I LOVED my dentist in San Diego…read moreand was not looking forward to the process of finding a new one. Unfortunately, I had to fast track the process due to a cracked filling. I did a bit of a google and Yelp search, crossing my fingers the whole time. I liked what I was reading about Dr. Yaley's practice and decided to take a chance. I emailed the office explaining my predicament, and received a response in short order from Sonia. She said they had two openings in the coming days and asked which would work better for me. I chose one and sent Sonia my insurance information. When I arrived for my appointment, Sonia had a big smile and all of the paperwork ready. In a matter of minutes, Mary (the hygienist) came out with her own great big smile and brought me back to the room. After getting all settled, Dr. Yaley came in and spoke to me for a few minutes to get acquainted and caught up on my dilemma. Dr. Yaley walked me through my options. Once we agreed on the course of action, Dr. Yaley took incredible care of me during the process - taking all necessary steps to minimize any discomfort - and got me all fixed up and feeling better. Dr. Yaley and her staff are AWESOME! As much as I liked my previous dentist, I was even happier with this team. If patient care and a friendly staff matter to you, don't make the mistake of trying anywhere else. This is the place to go.

I found Dr. Arora after dental work from another office had gone wrong. I was in so much pain I…read morecouldn't sleep, could barely eat, and the pain was radiating from my teeth into my jaw and all the way to my ear. After a week of constant pain, I couldn't wait any longer to get help. On a Friday night, I (desperately) reached out to any dentists who listed Saturday hours. Dr. Arora responded that same night and rearranged his Saturday schedule to accommodate me. The office was otherwise closed, but he was willing to come in and see me, a brand new patient he had never even met, because I needed help. That meant a lot, and immediately told me he genuinely cares about people, not just appointments on a schedule. Dr. Arora gave careful, clear, clinical explanations of what he was seeing, what was causing my pain, and exactly what needed to be done. He made sure I understood what was going to happen, why he takes the approach he does, and what to expect afterward. I ended up needing two root canals to fix the previous dentist's filling. While no one *enjoys* a root canal, it honestly wasn't nearly as bad as I feared. It did take time - which he told me upfront - because he doesn't rush. My previous dentist had emphasized how quickly he could get me in and out, so it was actually refreshing to be treated by someone who prioritizes doing it properly. What really stood out is that while Dr. Arora's practice absolutely has modern technology, he clearly relies on skill and judgment first. It felt like being treated by someone who truly understands dentistry, not someone just following what a machine tells them to do. The previous office had all the flashy, high-tech equipment imaginable, and I still ended up needing two root canals to repair their work. The office also offers thoughtful touches like headphones, cozy blankets, and pillows, which make a bigger difference than you'd think when you're in the chair for a while. After weeks of pain and stress, I'm finally back to normal and genuinely feel taken care of. If you're anxious, in pain, or just want a dentist who combines competence with real compassion, you will be in very good hands here.

They were also very responsive and respectful when I asked general questions and questions about my insurance. They billed my insurance precisely for what I was there for and even sent a pre-estimate to check whether specific treatments for future appointments, such as dental fluoride, would be covered by my insurance. I truly appreciate the care and transparency. Thank you to everyone for making my experience the best it could be!

I've been seeing Dr. Mohan for a couple of years now, and originally came in really concerned about large black triangles between my teeth, some gum recession, and my overall gum health. Dr. Mohan created a treatment plan to get my gums healthy again and connected me with Christian as my dental hygienist, who is honestly a magician! Thanks to both of them, my gum health improved so much over time. Once my gums were finally in a great place, Dr. Mohan did composite bonding to fill the black triangles just in time for my wedding. The results completely transformed my smile. I could not stop smiling on my wedding day! The bonding looks incredibly natural..Dr. Mohan is truly an artist. 10/10 recommend Dr. Mohan, Christian, and the whole staff at Menlo Park Family Dental for both dental health and cosmetic procedures.

After trying to convince me to do them and requiring me to sign a waiver (despite admitting she normally does them once a year), she then tried to bully me by taking numerous pictures of things inside my mouth that she identified as problems. Some of these were obviously just stains and one was a small cut that had nothing to do with cavities. It appeared to me she was trying to scare me into having unnecessary work done. I've never experienced this kind of behavior from a dentist before and certainly won't return.

I took a chance with the Dental Center of Atherton and I must've gotten really, really lucky because I genuinely look forward to going to the dentist! The staff at the front like Cassandra and Jamie (sorry if I didn't spell it right) are super cordial, friendly, and overall just the best way to be greeted through the doors. Their customer service is great, which is never appreciated enough, frankly, so I'm happy to acknowledge it every time. Today I had a deep cleaning with Donna, And she was so patient and welcoming and knowledgeable, and you can feel the pride in her work and the happiness it brings her to not only help people with their dental hygiene, but also educate people on her expertise and empower people to have a better understanding of why things happen with our teeth and gums and the best practices to maintaining our oral health. I even requested to see her again specifically, which meant switching around my schedule appointment, because I had such a stellar time with her. I asked many involved questions, and Donna was more than happy to indulge me. Very very happy with the interactions we've had today - I literally got home and got to typing immediately, it could not wait another minute. My very first visit I also met Dr. Fong and Shima/Sheema (so sorry), and it should go without saying at this point, but they were also exceptional in their own right. With the location, being great, and the customer service even better, I'm happy to say that this place ought to have 6 stars. Looking forward to the next appointment!
