Dr. Wendy Yang and her staff are the best!  Dr. Wendy was very patient, kind, and gentle with my kiddos. She did a phenomenal job at treating his teeth, while still making him feel comfortable in her chair. Honestly, I was amazed.

I took my son for his two year checkup. He was pretty nervous about going to the dentist but Dr. Yang and her amazing staff really put him at ease. They even had his favorite movie playing which was a huge bonus (they emailed to ask about favorite characters before we showed up). The best part for me was hearing how we were doing and learning how we can improve his dental hygiene.

Miho B.

It was my daughter's very first dentist appointment but Dr. Wendy and the nurse were very nice and friendly, so that helped my daughter to stay calm. She was not scared at all throughout the visit. Dr. Wendy told us what to do to keep my daughter's teeth healthy, and what to expect for her particular age. Brand new office, very clean and bright. I am glad we have such a nice dental clinic nearby!
