    I drove over an hour to get my son's Invisalign treatment with Dr. Ho, because I know he'll be getting the best of care. Dr. Ho is very caring, compassionate, articulate, skilled, and very knowledgeable. She and her staff explained everything from the start of the process to the finish. Why we chose Invisalign over braces? 1) My son is involves in sport. An injury to the face would be worse with braces. 2) Dr. Ho explained that Invisalign moves only teeth that need to be moved unlike braces - which move everything. Thanks Dr. Ho and staff!! We are very happy and grateful for my son's Invisalign treatment. He's always smiling now. When my daughter is ready, we'll be back for her Invisalign treatment.

    Hygienist Cherry Kieu stabbed me with the middle tool because she kept getting distracted
    Cam P.

    It's disappointing that I have to leave this review. I've been with Palm View for several years because I like their facility and friendly staff very much. I even recommended a few friends to come here. However, my one bad experience here yesterday totally changed everything. I went for my teeth cleaning and the hygienist Cherry Kieu was assigned to me. She was friendly and nice, but then she was not good. Here is what I meant. As she proceeded to the cleaning I noticed that every time some one walked by in the hallway (we were in the first room), or someone said something she would look up, WHILE she had dental tools in her hands in my mouth. The whole time water was spilling out and she didn't even notice because she was so distracted. I had to wipe the water that was spilling out from my mouth myself. Then she noticed and only pretended to help me after I already wiped off the water. She uncarefully hit my tongue rather than my teeth once. Then as she was holding the hand scaler (the hook like tool), she was looking away from my mouth and she stabbed my upper lip. It bled. I demanded her to stop and asked for her manager or the boss. She apologized and I said why did you keep looking up while you're cleaning my teeth with tools in your hands? She said she was looking at my teeth x-ray. Why did she need to look at my x-ray 10-15 times and she's not even the dentist? She kept offering Vaseline to me and I kept asking for the doctor. Finally I said if I get infected with something, and you're not getting your boss here, you'll be solely liable for my injury. I supposed she got scared and reluctantly went to get the doctor. Dr. Ho came to apologize many times to me and explained to me the tools are sterilized. I expressed to her that if Cherry can't do what she was trained to do correctly then she shouldn't be serving patients. Her distraction is an incompetence to the job. Those tools obviously can incur injuries. Dr. Ho got another hygienist to finish the job. Here's another thing, in the past after my cleaning they'll schedule my next one. This time, the front people just looked at me and the second hygienist just showed me out. Seemed like they didn't even bother to have me back. I guess when they got a dissatisfied client due to a staff's ineptitude, and the client complained, they don't want to deal with it further in the future. With that, I meant to leave a one-star rating, but Dr. Ho was sincere in her apologies and truth was they had been great until they've got this one bad apple in their staff. They were good that I stayed with them even they were no longer within network of my insurance. But no more since they didn't even seem to care. If you decided to come here or have been a client and they assign Cherry Kieu to you, steer clear away or you might run into mishap like I did.

    I've been going here for many years and always recommend this place to friends looking for a new dentist! The staff is the friendliest you'll ever meet and they've always made my dental appointments comfortable! I've been to many dentists and I've laid on that chair for longer than most people my age because of my crown and other dental procedures I've got, so that's saying a lot! Dr Karen Ho has given me my beautiful crown on my front tooth that had been the bane of my insecurities since I chipped it in my childhood. I can smile without instinctually covering my mouth and I even get compliments on my smile!!! That's to also credit my childhood orthodontist as well. I also recently got retainers from them and they did this cool 3D scan to create my retainer. No more old school goop mold! I don't dread the twice a year dental cleaning because I know the staff will take great care of me and it's always been smooth and quick! Oh they also have TVs if you have a long procedure like I did for my crown!

    After my Invisalign treatment and before composites
    Lauren D.

    I started my journey here in September to start my Invisalign treatment. I'm a big grinder and I had some weird shapes happening and my two outer teeth were kind of short. After I finished my Invisalign, we decided to add some length to my two outers with some composites and fixed my front tooth due to a chip. I literally never thought perfect teeth could ever exist on me! I am so so incredibly obsessed with my teeth. Dr. Ho is absolutely incredible as well. She has been so patient with me. A before and after of my teeth

    Came to Palm View Dental with my husband to get his dental work done by Dr Lee.  We're so happy with his new sme.

I specifically asked before booking, at check-in, and again after the appointment. The visit itself lasted about 1-2 minutes. The dentist performed a brief visual exam and told me everything looked fine. No periodontal probing, charting, or treatment planning was done. The office initially billed my insurance under a comprehensive periodontal evaluation code, which did not reflect the services performed. After I questioned it, they resubmitted the claim under a limited exam code, which was then denied due to frequency limitations. I was ultimately required to pay $50 to avoid collections. What disappointed me most was not just the billing issue, but the lack of empathy when I raised concerns to "Rafi". There was no acknowledgment of the miscommunication or incorrect initial coding .. just a firm statement that it was "my responsibility." Clear communication about coverage and better billing transparency would have prevented this situation. I hope the office improves this process for future patients. very disappointed.

Hadn't gotten my teeth cleaned for about 2 years due to the change of insurance. My parents come here regularly to get checked up, and said that they were nice here, and I found that they were. Experience: Staff was friendly, spoke to me in English until they realized I could also speak Chinese. Its a small little place so I think it would be best to call first instead of walking in if you were to come here. Without insurance, they charged me $120 for teeth cleaning, no x-rays. Its a bit expensive, but they did it with one of those sharp hook tool things so its more accurate.. and they spent about an hour to clean too! They were very gentle while cleaning, also while giving instructions. Made the experience more...acceptable.. since I dont usually like dentist offices in general. The up side to my experience here was that without asking, dr. herbert lin told me what he saw with my teeth and gums, and what I could do to manage it to keep it as healthy as possible. Down side was... that he found a mini cavity!! noooooooooo... :'( tears to my eyes. Since he mainly does periodontics, he didn't have the option to patch it up.. but he was nice enough to write up a little note for where my cavity was for a dentist that does so i could notify them without having them charge me for consultation. Overall..for a dentist visit, my experience was good. They made my teeth 902385092x cleaner, and was super friendly the whole time. On a side note, if you can speak both canto and mandarin, pretend like you can only speak one or else they will talk to you in both hahah. The side nurse helper could speak canto more fluently so she was talking to me in cantonese while the dr was talking to me in mandarin.. and so while they were giving me instructions, they were throwing them at me in both languages and i had to flip back and forth to understand. It was okay tho, i found it kinda funny and something to distract myself with while they cleaned.

My visit was for a painful molar (previous root canal) and possible cavity. Daniel comes off as really someone that cares about the quality of care and you getting the best possible treatment. People like Daniel set the benchmark how every dentist doctor should be. If you ever went to the doctor and felt he had other agendas then it's probably time to find a professional like Daniel. Innovation is another term I will use here as it's very rare to find a dentist who spends time research ways to make procedures better and taking the time to research and keep track of the other referral doctors/dentists that treat you down the line. He has been known to travel with a patient in town of need to make sure they were given the attention needed to resolve a serious issue. Hats of to professionals like Daniel that set the benchmark for medical excellence.
