Customer Reviews
Dr. Ho is a truly wonderful dentist. My son and I have been seeing him for over 20 years, and we wouldn’t trust our dental care to anyone else. From routine cleanings to Invisalign and more involved procedures, Dr. Ho took out my son’s 4 wisdom teeth, he is always incredibly thorough, gentle, and patient.
What really sets Dr. Ho apart is how much he genuinely cares. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, and always makes sure you’re comfortable. It’s rare to find a dentist you can trust for decades, and Dr. Ho has consistently provided outstanding care for our family. Highly recommend.
I’ve been seeing Dr. Ho for about 10 years now, and I honestly wouldn’t trust my teeth with anyone else. He’s always been incredibly gentle, which means a lot to me because I used to get nervous about dental visits. With him, I never feel rushed or uncomfortable—he takes his time, explains everything clearly, and makes sure I’m okay throughout the whole appointment.
What really sets Dr. Ho apart is how much he genuinely cares about his patients. He always follows up after appointments to check in and make sure everything is healing properly.

I had an excellent experience at this dental office. The entire place is incredibly clean and well-maintained, which immediately put me at ease. The staff is friendly, professional, and very respectful of your time.
One thing I really appreciated is how responsive they are with emergencies. They were able to schedule me for an urgent root canal right away, and they handled everything calmly and efficiently. It made a stressful situation so much easier.
They’re also incredibly transparent—they explain every step of your treatment, why it’s needed, and they go over costs beforehand so there are no surprises. I never felt rushed or pressured, just genuinely cared for.
Overall, this is a trustworthy, clean, and patient-focused dental practice. Highly recommend!
I have been coming to Dr. Ho for over ten years and have never looked back. I always feel comfortable with him and am always happy with his service. After not taking care of my teeth prior to switching to Dr. Ho, I’ve changed my cleaning habits. Happy and healthy should always be the goals in life.
