We have been going to Dr. Kao for over 10 years, and I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things…read moreabout him and his entire team. He has the latest technology, but what truly sets him apart is his incredible bedside manner and the way he connects with children. I have a very difficult child when it comes to the dentist. My child absolutely hated going and had a lot of fear and anxiety surrounding dental visits. He was incredibly patient, understanding, and never made my child feel rushed or pressured. He took the time to build trust and make each visit as comfortable as possible. The difference he made was truly life-changing. Seeing my child go from being terrified of the dentist to feeling comfortable and confident is something I will always be grateful for. After more than 10 years, we continue to have complete trust in him and his team. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist who is knowledgeable, uses the latest technology, and genuinely cares about his patients, I highly recommend him. We are so thankful to have found such an amazing dentist!

My son has been coming to see Dr. Kao since 2018. He has a high dental plaque score and goes to the…read moredentist 4x per year. He is afraid of dentist visits and used to resist even routine cleaning. But over the years, he got used to the burrito wrap and now complains a lot less. He also likes to choose his own cartoon on the Disney channel. Dr. Kao is very kind and patient. My son still dislikes going to the dentist but he is willing to sit through treatment to get clean and shiny teeth - that is the important thing!

I usually don't write reviews but I really wanted to share my wonderful and exciting experience…read morebeing a patient in a clinic that had such empathetic and caring doctors and staff because I honestly believe that anyone at any age who is seeking to start their own ortho journey or is trying to find one of the best clinics in the Daly City area for their children deserves to get the best ortho care possible because a beautiful smile will last a lifetime and can positively impact many aspects of your life such as in one's career, relationships, and self esteem. I understand the importance of choosing the best ortho clinic for you or your children as one has to feel comfortable and confident going to the same place every month or so for many years knowing one is receiving the best treatment unique to them. I can also understand the anxiety and stress parents and individuals may have in choosing an ortho clinic. I hope my experience of when I received care from Dr. Chen, the assistants, and the front desk staff can give you a better insight on why I highly recommend any individual or parents to choose to go to the Daly orthodontist for their ortho treatment. I'm a dental assistant at a pediatric clinic and I can confidently say that the quality of care that I received was very similar to the quality of care we give to our patients in my pediatric clinic. I was first recommended to the Daly orthodontist by my coworkers because they and their children were receiving treatment from Dr. Chen. I hopped onto that train as I trusted my coworkers' opinions and was curious as to why everyone went to Dr. Chen. I soon found out why all my coworkers and their children chose to get their ortho treatment from Dr. Chen and rave about their office. In my first appointment, I received such a warm welcome from Dr. Chen, the front desk staff and the dental assistants. Dr. Chen was also very detailed and informative of my treatment in simple terms that was easy to understand, answered all my technical questions truthfully, gave me a realistic time frame of when I should be done with my braces and was receptive to any ideas I had about how my teeth should look. He is also very chill and easy to talk to and still be professional when he needs to be. The assistants were also more than friendly and accommodating to your needs from assisting you in the chair and adjusting anything in your mouth that doesn't feel comfortable to giving you extra floss threads and rubber bands. I think the best part is that the whole experience felt very personal as Dr. Chen and many of the front desk and assistants do remember me from previous visits. Dr. Chen and the staff really do their best in making sure you have everything you need to get to your end goal and making your ortho experience as easy and comfortable as possible! Even after I was finished with braces and am currently wearing my retainers, Dr. Chen was very open to helping me make any adjustments to my teeth if I saw anything I didn't like. Overall, I had a wonderful experience working with Dr. Chen, the dental assistants, and the front desk staff as you will definitely be taken care of even after you finish your ortho treatment!

Most of my children needed orthodontist support and this is the place. One thing I would ask for safety and sanitation purposes is that gloves and washing your hands be used or done always when handling hardware that is going straight into the patient's mouth. I seen someone blow their nose and did not wash their hands. Even though they put the gloves on, they touched them with their dirty hands. There is also a staff member who touches the hardware without gloves. This incident occurred twice. I've seen all, but this one staff member, change their gloves often. This is not for staff reprimand or bad review, just a reminder that clients are observant. Besides, the mentioned, you have great staff and doctors in this place who care for their patients. Highly recommend them!

My boys have been coming here since they were a little over 1 (almost 4 now). Whenever we come, Dr…read more Pham and his team is so friendly and patient with our talkative, energetic boys. They ask a lot of questions and curious about all their tools and yet, they take the time to answer and make them feel comfortable. We've never felt rushed. They make it a point for the kids to enjoy their visit. They have legos at the front that you can ask to play with to keep them busy while they wait. During the visit, they can play a movie to watch while they lay down to distract them. And after the visit, they have a lot of stickers to choose from. And they also offer a coin from the gum ball machine for a small toy to come out (no gums/candies) that my boys love to use and watch the toy roll down. We've always had such a great experience coming, so much that our boys ask when's their next dentist visit haha. The staff accommodates our schedule well and tries to get them in a back to back or same time slot appt, very helpful for us busy parents. Keep in mind they only have 1 or limited Saturdays open a month, so book early. The only area that could use improvement is the front desk. Greetings are inconsistent when we walk in, and when they do occur, they can come across as perfunctory and not genuine. I work in healthcare as well and understand how busy things can get, but a simple smile, a gesture to sit down, or a quick "hold please" to acknowledge my presence goes a long way. For a pediatric office, they could definitely be more welcoming. Otherwise they're straightforward to work with. Overall highly recommend. Big plus, they take Delta Dental insurance.

We were looking for a new pediatric dentist and found Phamily Pediatric Dentistry. I made an…read moreappointment for both my kids to get their cleaning at the same time. Both had their polish and cleaning done in tandem and then Dr. Pham came by and did their exams. He has great bedside manner and made the kids feel comfortable. He was also thorough in explaining things to me as the parent and helping me understand what I could be doing better of to better take care of my kids' teeth. Each area is set up with a TV monitor on the screen playing a kid friendly movie which distracts the child when they are in the chair. They also got some stickers after their service and when checking out at the front, they got some coins that they could put into a gum ball machine and get some prizes. Overall, a very fun experience for them and helps frame a visit to the dentist as a positive experience.

Wonderful pediatric dentist. It was my son's first visit to the dentist and he is neurodivergent…read more Let me tell you, they made him feel at ease. The office was cutely decorated for Halloween. Paulette was super sweet and got my paperwork set up. The gentleman (didn't get his name but he is probably the dental hygienist) was super attentive. Came and turned on Disney when he heard my son stomping around and talked with my son every step of the way. Finally, the dentist Dr B was so gentle and patient with my son. No tears from him-that's all I could ask for. She gave us some helpful tips for his continued dental care and we will be back in 6 months. Also, the gentleman made my kiddo a balloon animal (super cute !) highly recommend this place and I'm so happy I found our lifelong pediatric dentist on the first try!

A routine cleaning for my 2 year old daughter was supposed to be completely covered by my insurance but months later I receive a bill from their office. Confirmed with my insurance provider that I should not have received a bill and their office processed the claim incorrectly. However, I have not been able to talk to anyone at Kali Smiles to correct this. Meanwhile I continue to receive bills from the dental office even though my insurance has said that I have no responsibility to pay. Avoid Kali Smiles at Westborough if you don't want to receive a surprise bill!

I have been taking my son here since he was a toddler and I have always been amazed at how…read moreoutstanding the experience has been. Dr. Wong is incredible with kids - making them feel comfortable and creating a positive experience at all ages. He also does a terrific job explaining the process with parents! My now 6-year old son has recently had surgery and is now very skittish around medical professionals getting near his body, even ones he's known for years. In contrast, this cleaning was totally an unexpected breeze and my kiddo came out happy and trauma-free. The hygienist and Dr. Wong made him feel so at ease, gave him lots of choices so he felt in control, and were just so patient and kind. Dr. Wong advised me on what to expect for our son, in light of his medical history, and gave great recommendations on where we could stay conservative and take a "wait-and-see" approach, vs. some other concerns where we might be more aggressive - always taking the time to explain very clearly the "why" and trade-offs. The offices themselves are beautifully appointed - super COVID safe procedures, Netflix and TV on the ceilings to keep kiddos entertained, and loads of treats to keep the kids excited about the dentist. Communication is so easy - staff are always easy to get ahold of, through text or phone, and lovely to work with (we have to get a prescription for antibiotics due to my son's condition, which they're so on top of and I managed all through text). Can't imagine a better choice for my son!

I brought my kids here for a few years for their routine cleanings and check ups. After they…read morestopped accepting my dental insurance We switched to another dentist only to find out that my 12 year-old had deep tooth decay on one of his back teeth that had never been noticed or treated at Kidsmiles. Due to their negligence, my 12-year-old had to get a root canal which is absurd! Take your kids elsewhere!
