With the confidence established during my first visit, I will definitely try their other services.

As a new patient to this dental surgery, my initial experience was nothing short of a wonderful experience. The staff there were friendly and acted professionally right from the reception to the dentist. The dentist (Dr. Li Yang) explained the results of the X-ray with me and suggested the options available in my circumstances in a highly professional manner. Although my initial visit was for my annual check-up and teeth cleaning, I was very satisfied with their thorough services. With the confidence established during my first visit, I will definitely try their other services in the future and that will be subject to another review.
