Had sudden tooth pain and found this office on Google, they were able to set me up for an appointment same day. Dr.Wu saw me right away, I have bad experiences with dentist but she offered me a conservative approach to address my tooth pain with a small filling which was done in less than 10minutes and painless. Will be coming back for my future visits.
I have been a patient here for several years and have always been satisfied until this recent experience with this young hygienist. My main complaint is that her cleaning technique caused discomfort, especially on my top tooth. As someone who works in the medical field, I noticed she seemed inexperienced and unsure (was kept saying sorry the whole time) particularly with patients like me whose teeth might be older or more fragile. During the procedure, I told her that the way she cleaned my top tooth was uncomfortable and was hurting, but she replied that it was due to deep stains and need more pressure. Additionally, the process felt messy -water ran down to my neck the whole time and I was not provide tissue. I have already told the front desk not to schedule with her again. But doctor was very nice and be able to fix and fill the chipped tooth.
The Best Dental Cleaning Experience – Thank You, Yuki! I had my cleaning done today at Canal Dental Group by Yuki, and she was absolutely amazing. Hands down the best dental hygienist I’ve ever met! She took the time to explain every step clearly and made sure I felt comfortable the whole time. Yuki answered all my questions with such patience and care. Best of all, she was so gentle — I didn’t feel any pain or discomfort at all. Honestly, it was the best dental cleaning experience I’ve ever had. If you’re looking for someone kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly skilled, ask for Yuki. You won’t be disappointed!
I came here on a whim when I woke with a cavity and they were able to see me right away. The front desk is super friendly. The waiting area is comfortable and cozy. The dentist was awesome- she took really good care of me and I felt nothing. I also do not have any insurance and the prices were clear and affordable especially considering a lot of the other places around. This is a great place to get care. I will be coming back! Thank you.
I’ve been getting my cleanings with Dr. Sandy Wu, and I’ve always known she was the best—gentle, calm, and incredibly caring. Recently, I needed to get a dental implant done, and the experience confirmed just how exceptional she truly is. From beginning to end, Dr. Wu was patient, kind, and thorough. She explained every step of the implant process in a way that made me feel completely informed and at ease. Her calm, reassuring demeanor made a huge difference, especially since dental procedures can be intimidating. She checked in with me often, answered all my questions without ever making me feel rushed, and made the entire experience far smoother than I expected. The implant itself turned out perfectly, and the attention and care she put into her work really showed. I highly recommend Dr. Sandy Wu for dental implants or any dental care. Her professionalism, skill, and genuine compassion set her apart.
