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.

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.

I have been going to this dentist office for over 16 years, never missed an appt and have never been late! They have just lost my business and I think they have become greedy!

It is my hope that Dr. Evans and his staff continue to prosper. Thanks for nine years of great dental treatment and being so very flexible with a payment plan.

Recently I asked a San Rafael Only Facebook group about that dentist who tortured me as a kid. The post got so many horror stories! He should have lost his job he was so awful. So I wasn'the - only one with an awful phobia re: dental work! For decades when hearing the word "dentist" I'd break out in cold sweats & shakes all over. I had tried others but I left each one feeling scared, upset & in terrible pain I got a recommdation to see Dr Evans from a close friend & wow! He & the endodontist At EndoArt he worked with were beyond amazing! They both did their jobs perfectly, both offices are good settings, & I finally could get important dental work I'd held back from doing for so long! Great communication, my teeth looked and felt like they should, after some 30 years! ​No cold sweats, shaking or other problems I encountered in the past. Now my financial situation isn't good, but I can't imagine having such an experience as I had with Dr Evans & EndoArt. - The professional he worked with, with anyone else. I've got new problems that need attention & I'll do almost anything to get my teeth back in the excellent shape that Dr Evans & EndoArt got them in. I've been carefully brushing & flossing like before - my whole adult life, but they really need much more of that attention now. Badly. I just had to leave a truthfully glowing review that I'd forgotten to do a few years ago. The staff was also excellent at both locations. I'm able to write all this without feeling sick! I pray I can get my teeth back in shape because I think a couple might be worse...seriously worse So I'm hoping that something will come up. I hope to leave another glowing review in the next few months. Thank you for proving that not all dentists & endodontist are terrible! With much gratitude. Sincerely, Victoria JD

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.
