I recently had a filling and a crown done by Dr. Shi, and I’m extremely happy with the entire experience. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and efficient. Dr. Shi took the time to explain every step of the procedure, which made me feel very comfortable and informed. The filling was quick and painless, and the crown fits perfectly—I couldn’t be more satisfied with the result. I appreciated Dr. Shi’s gentle hands, attention to detail, and genuine care for my comfort throughout the process. The office is clean and modern, and scheduling was easy. Highly recommend Dr. Shi to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy, and compassionate dentist!
