I highly recommend Dr Chau.
I chose Dr. Chau on a recommendation of a friend. I switched from/stopped going to a previous dentist because it was too far away and used up too much of a day just for a routine appointment.
Over the past year, I've had three major dental incidents, resolved amazingly effectively by Dr. Chau.
The first two incidents involved lots of pain. In both cases, Dr Chau made time to see me quickly. Also in both cases, she resolved the problem quickly, permanently and relatively painlessly.
The third incident mercifully did not involve pain. It involved restoring one of my front teeth -- it now looks better than new. Dr. Chau is a magician.
She has invested significantly in technology for the benefit of patients. For instance, cleaning involves an ultrasound system that is more effective and more pleasant than the old scritch, scritch, scritch method. She also uses digital x-rays that expose the patient to much less radiation and produce images immediately, saving the patient time waiting in the chair while film is developed. The tooth restoration involved curing the bonding material with ultraviolet light.
Near the ceiling, Dr. Chau has installed flat-screen monitors that she sometimes uses to show images to discuss issues and treatment options with patients. I've found that being involved in this process in this way has built my trust and confidence in Dr. Chau. When the monitors are not showing x-rays of teeth, etc., they display gently cycling images of orchids to create a calm and relaxing mood.
Dr. Chau also employs some low tech, yet thoughtful, measures, such as large dark glasses so you don't end up staring into bright lights.
Dr. Chau's staff is invariably friendly and very professional. They often go beyond their normal duties. For instance, at the last cleaning, the hygienist discussed my brushing technique, and suggested a brushing technique that would be more effective.
I look forward to being Dr. Chau's patient for years to come. If you are looking for a dentist, please check her out. read more
