My experience with this dentist was awful. I am still fixing her work. After a crown that she did,…read morebroke, she never took impressions again for a replacement, but relied on an old one. Because of this, the new replacement did not fit and she drilled on the new on in order to try and make it fit. I have had to have a new dentist fix 3 crowns that she did for me. She also was very offended when I asked her to stop sharing her personal life with me and just focus on my teeth. This was by far the most unprofessional dentist I have ever seen. I would not recommend her due to my experience. I hope this review helps others.

We called around to multiple pediatric dentists and Sunny Smiles stood out to us. Everyone from the front desk staff to the hygienist to the dentist treated both us and our son with enormous kindness and compassion - what stood out most to me was how the dentist spoke directly to my son about what he was going to do and what tools he was going to use. My son has a bit extra doctor-related anxiety and they were so patient with him, but even more than that they treated him with dignity and respect. We're honestly considering transferring our regular dental checkups here. Highly recommended.

They have an amazing waiting area, although the kiddos didn't get to play for a long time since we were seen right away. Once in their chairs the dental hygienists were amazing and so patient with both my kiddos. Doctor Nobel came in afterwards to check on them individually and then spoke to me on the side about what he will be looking out for for their next visit. Definitely recommended Sunny Smiles, my daughter (8yrs old) doesn't like going to the dentist and she left Sunny Smiles saying how she's excited to go back for her next cleaning

We just moved to the area and my daughter was needing to go to her first dentist appointment…read more Looking at the reviews this place looks like they were doing amazing things. The building is really nice. Tvs under the exam seats and in the lobby. Toys and books for kids to read while they wait. Everything looked well kept and clean. The dental assistant that handled my child was beyond perfect with her. My daughter did very well in the environment and it was because of the calm and caring demeanor of the person who took her X-rays and did her cleaning. It came time to meet Dr. Tam. He was very direct, monotone, and didn't have the the child friendly demeanor I had expected and hoped for. He tried to connect with my child but it like he was going through the motions (or at least that was my perception which could be wrong). It could have been that they were busy and he just didn't feel like he had time to try but I left the interaction feeling indifferent. He was informative and got a plan in place for us to move forward with. Overall this place is worth checking out at the very least. I'm glad I checked it out and I loved how they give the kid a toy out of a dispenser when you leave. It's a very nice touch and now my kid will be excited to go back

Okay bummer but okay so, I paid it in full, and they call me three months later saying I still owe more and the reason being was the insurance didn't cover as much. I had already paid $500 over the quoted price. They still harass me everyday for the payment. My sister is a lawyer and my brother in law is the DA and they told me that what they did wasn't even legal so for them to again ask for more money AFTER I already paid way more than quoted is not just wild, it's illegal.
