About

Not all heroes wear capes – take Dr. Alice Chi for example! As a newly minted dentist, Dr. Alice dons her trusty scrubs and white coat while she dedicates herself to treating every patient with the same level of respect, skill, and compassion as she would with family. Dr. Alice earned her bachelor degrees – Biology and Psychology – from UC Davis before completing her doctorate in June 2021 at the UC San Francisco (UCSF) School of Dentistry. Additional credentials include her Basic Life Support Certification and her UCSF Health Bilingual Certification, the latter in recognition of her Chinese Mandarin proficiency. Growing up in an immigrant family in San Francisco, Dr. Alice witnessed firsthand the destructive consequences of unethical dentistry. Due to language barriers and insurance issues, her uncle suffered unknowingly as a patient of an unlicensed dentist. This experience compelled Dr. Alice towards dentistry – so that no patient will ever have to endure the same mistreatment. Today, Dr. Alice is known in dentistry for her knowledge, work ethic, and passion. Dr. Alice treats both her patients and coworkers like family with clear communication and mutual respect. On her days off, Dr. Alice can be found at home – either she's simultaneously binging on boba and Korean dramas, or she’s tearing through a 1000-piece puzzle. If you want to catch her outside of the home, try signing up for a themed marathon! Dr. Alice is an experienced participant in marathons such as the hot chocolate run and the bubble run.

First time care appointment involved a set of X-rays/photos and then a video chat with one of the dentists. Also booked a cleaning appointment for a couple days later. Overall good, though I thought the video call format was a bit strange -- made it slightly harder to ask the dentist questions.

Interesting process. You'll need to book a cleaning separately from the initial intake appointment. They have you download an app that connects you to the dentist via video call, and they review your x rays remotely.

Everyone at the practice is very nice - Ashley especially was extremely helpful. As a heads up, the dentists are virtual, and there is some inconvenience for the fact that most of your session is taking pictures for the dentist to review. There was no routine cleaning in my first appt
