"The whole staff at this dental office are wonderful. Very efficient, helpful, and personable. Punctual appointments. Ava Chen can be trusted for excellent expert advice and care. Kaiser is offering me free dental insurance (Delta) this year, but I definitely don't want to change dentists! Not that familiar with the new dentist, Matthew Yuen....but if Dr. Chen recommends him...I feel confident he is as good as her. I especially like and respect "Janice", my teeth cleaning lady! I highly recommend this office for anyone looking for good dental care" ![]() |
