⸻ My family and I have been patients of Dr. Zhu for 30 years. Dr. Zhu, Dr. Su, and their team are professional, honest, and always attentive to their patients’ needs and concerns. Over the years, we have recommended many relatives and friends, and nearly all of them now see Dr. Zhu regularly. Even though we now live in Florida, we are happy to fly back for our dental care here. On this visit, I had the pleasure of meeting Yuki, an excellent technician. Her gentle voice and caring approach made the cleaning feel more like a relaxing facial than a typical dental procedure. If possible, I would give her teeth-cleaning skills 6 stars!

After my long time Hygienist retired, I decided to try Canal Dental Group. All I can say is wish I had visited them sooner. The team are professional and thorough, my Hygienist Maggie very detail oriented and explains every procedure clearly. And Dr.Su is prompt and knowledgeable. All in all very pleasant experience

Dr. Lee as the periodontist is amazing. She makes her patient feel very comfortable. She takes her time to walk through the steps with you. The team and hygienist Annie is wonderful staff and extremely welcoming.

I’ve been going to Canal Dental Group for a few years and I have good service each time. They are very responsive, and have a good system to remind you of the appointment. The office is very clean and all the staff is professional and efficient. They explain any issues clearly to me. At my most recent visit, my hygienist Yuki was excellent. It was just a routine teeth cleaning, but she gently explained every step and even gave me Vaseline for my cracked lips. She was through but gentle and left me feeling well cared for. A side note about this place is that I happen to be someone who has a preferred name different from what’s on my records. When I told them this, they made a note of it and call me it every time I’m there. If not, they accept a gentle correction. It may seem small, but none of my other doctors do this and it makes me less nervous. Update: this has changed now that they have a new front desk person, I will have to make a note of it
