Such an amazing dentist!!! It feels like he’s your dad, he takes care and time to explain to you the issues, and what solutions are optimal. Dr. Tai is honest, ethical, moral, and upholds what it means to be a dentist! He is one of the few remaining old school dentists out there. You can bet that he will not use your teeth as a way to line his pockets, unlike so many other dentists out there today.

Dr. Tai is very thorough with cleaning but also cavities removal and fillings. He is very meticulous by which he spnt time to ensure the fillings are filed down to fit the bite as close as possible. The office is also very honest with billing.

I highly recommend Dr. Tai for his exceptional professionalism and patience. I visited him for a teeth cleaning and cavity filling, and I was thoroughly impressed with his work. The teeth cleaning was smooth and usually painless, unlike my experiences with other dentists. During the cavity filling, Dr. Tai's dedication and attention to detail were evident. He also took the time to answer all my questions. Overall, my visits were well worth the time and money.

Dr. Tai's assistant, Jennifer, is super professional and helpful. After a phone call consultation, I decided to give it a try. And I was blown away by how amazing this place is. It's very well run. Their texts reminders are super helpful. Besides the logistics, Dr. Tai is definitely the most amazing dentist I have seen in the U.S. He gives very specific and detailed explanation which is of great importance to me. He also made sure to explain all the options, the pros and cons! Great experience and highly recommended!

Dr. Tai is the best! I’ll admit before coming to Dr. Tai it had been quite some time since I had visited a dentist. He never made me feel bad about putting off going to the dentist for so long and created a relaxed and comfortable environment that had me coming back. He is very attentive, detailed and mindful of pain management. He always takes the time to explain everything well so you can make informed decisions. Jennifer is awesome too! Always a huge help with navigating the ever confusing dental insurance plan Currently doing Invisalign and it’s been such a smooth process! I don’t think I’ve ever had such a good handle on my dental health than I do now.
