I appreciated his honesty and the amount of time he spent with me as a patient. He seems to truly care about his patients and their outcomes.

Dr. Chan is the BOMB! I received damage to a front tooth from invisible liners and was devastated when I started having severe pain and discoloration. Dr. Chan was an option on my insurance and when I read his reviews, I knew he was my kind of doctor. I mean this man deep dives into explaining every single step of the process, every option, every possible outcome (with visual aids of course) and I loved it! I felt confident in my choices as well as the outcome.

I felt ZERO pain or discomfort of any kind! I just had this done this afternoon and STILL have zero pain after the numbness wore off. This guy has a personality that any patient would love their doctor to have - so fun!!! From the time I called in and spoke to the front desk gal (I feel terrible I do not remember her name) I felt at ease. She was extremely knowledgeable on the phone as well as in person; super sweet and kind. The nurse was also a gem! If you need a root canal you really shouldn't go anywhere else! Dr. Chan and his team were perfection from the initial call to the end! His office has to be the best place to work EVER! I hope I never need another one but if I do, Dr.

Chan is the only place I am going! I have already spread the word. Thank you Dr. Chan and Team :)

I never leave reviews but thought this time was appropriate -I had a previously done root canal fixed by Dr. Chan (he did not do the original). I was promptly greeted and welcomed into the office.

His administrative assistant and dental assistant (probably not their exact titles) they were both SO FRIENDLY and KIND throughout the whole process. Dr. Chan was great! I didn't have to sit in the waiting area for long, he talked me through the whole process!!! I wish this office was my normal dentist office :) Merry Christmas to them!

Friendliest staff Ive seen in a dentistry they worked with my overnights schedule and my hour 1/2 drive. Front staff heard of my drive and recommended a time that worked for me which I really appreciated. The specialist was awesome and talked about all my options and followed up with me after my procedure.
