    Dr. Ho and staff were fantastic. Genuinely cares about your dental health and wants to not only present the best options for you but ones that will last well into your future so that you don’t break the bank. They also take my insurance directly which is great

    I have nothing bad to say. I had an overall great experience with all the staff as well as a nice change from a dentist. Most of my past experiences felt rushed and a waste of time this time I actually understood what was happening and actually learned from it.

    Dr. Karen Ho and the whole team are nothing short of amazing. They are very attentive and thorough, explaining your case and results in details, and are considerate of people’s preferences. And after a lifetime of dentists saying the expensive solutions were what I needed, their approach of showing multiple perspectives was much appreciated.

    When I arrived the staff were friendly and helped prepare me for my first visit. I met with the dental office manager and she went over some forms with me and asked me questions. Then I met with the hygienist, who took all the x-rays and measurements required for a first visit. She was extremely friendly and personable. She then did a cleaning. I met with the dentist who went over everything with me in great detail. It was a great experience!

    From the minute I walked into the door the staff were attentive, friendly, and helpful. Check in was quick and Lynette the hygienist was so kind, knowledgeable, and pleasant to be around. Dr. Karen Ho was also very friendly, approachable, and knowledgeable. All of the staff working there were courteous and made the appointment run smoothly. Would highly recommend visiting this amazing team if you are looking for a new dentist.

    My 3 year old daughter and I went to see Dr. Ho for the first time. This was also my daughter's first ever visit at the Dentist. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and Dr. Ho was amazing with my daughter. The children's room was beautiful and fun filled with stuffies, coloring books and treasures. I would definitely recommend going here especially if you have small children.

    I haven’t been to a dentist in roughly two years, after moving to a new city & not knowing how to pick a new dentist. Dr Ho’s staff were very welcoming & friendly. When it came time for the exam, Dr. Ho was very nice & took her time explaining everything to me thoroughly. They even found time for me to get a cleaning in after my exam & x-rays.
