PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Chen is the BEST dentist I’ve ever seen. For 50+ years in my life, I was treated by many dentists, and I had terrible experiences with some of them. Until 10 years ago, a friend of mine referred me to see Dr. Chen. Since then, Dr. Chen has been taking care of all my dental issues. My husband, my daughter, and many of my friends have also switched to Dr. Chen. Dr. Chen is different from many other dentists. She is warm, considerate, and friendly. She explains and educates patients about oral health. Most importantly, Dr. Chen’s professional skills make her outstanding! My daughter always admires that Dr. Chen has “magic” fingers. The results are perfect! The experiences are pleasant! I highly recommend Dr. Chen! She is the dentist you can trust!

Dr. Chen is outstanding. In my experience, it is rare to find a dentist who not only focuses on the immediate details of my dental hygiene but on creating a plan for my overall oral health. The staff are friendly and helpful, too. My family have been patients since 2017 and we highly recommend her practice.

This is my first visit with Dr.Yvonne Chen and staff, and also the best experience I have ever had in a dental visit. To begin with, the support staff Amanda was attentive and gentle in doing comprehensive X rays and pano, as this is my first visit here. The equipments here are top notch. Amanda answered all my questions happily, and continued with some initial examination and educating on how to properly floss, while Dr.Yvonne checked in with me and started further examination and cleaning as required. Previously, I have had dentists who rush through and not even find time to explain the what and why. Though Dr.Yvonne is super busy, she explains everything that is going on and most importantly, walks you through proper dental hygiene and preventive maintenance. It was a great educational experience for me, and Dr.Yvonne’s dedication to her job is showing in her work and attentive care towards patients. The visit ended with a discussion on toothbrush, mouth wash, floss tips and tricks, where Dr.Yvonne further answered my questions. I felt warm and comfortable throughout the visit. Though the location is a bit far from my home, the quality of work stands apart and I’m planning to continue with Dr.Yvonne. I strongly recommend her and you’d be very happy with your decision

I have my teeth been taken care of at the same dental location for almost twenty years now in Fremont. Since Dr. Yvonne Chen took it over early 2011, my dental care experience has taken the most fortunate turn. After all, I want the best care of my teeth and Dr. Chen does her amazingly fine work of art each and every time! The best thing Dr. Chen has done is to have completely modernized her dental office. As I first walked in, I got the ‘shock and awe’ as if I were in a space age environment. One push button, my whole dental X-ray was done in few seconds. That instant detailed image appeared on the flat panel in front of me, who sit comfortably in the massaging dental chair, suggested correct things ought to be done to improve the overall health of my teeth. Thanks to such state of the art technologies in Dr. Chen’s office, I now declare my not-so-perfect teeth issues completely demystified. Dr. Chen is such a perfectionist that she spent almost three times as long on me compared to my previous dentist in the same location. Dr. Chen’s finesse is superbly refined and extremely gentle that I felt so relaxed that I almost fell asleep. Her staffs are very friendly and try to save me money when possible. Being usually picky, I can hardly complain when visiting Dr. Chen. What a pleasing experience every time I walk out of Dr. Chen’s office with a big and glittering smile! Thank you so very much, Dr. Yvonne Chen – you are the best!

Dr. Chen is an amazing dentist. She is always very professional and really prepared in all the different procedure I had on my teeth. I never experienced a problem after any of the treatment she performed on me. I have been treated for a cavity and for a wisdom tooth extraction and I was totally satisfied. Her office is super clean and her staff really friendly and prepared. She is always available if you have an emergency or some question after the procedure. I also really like her office: clean, new and well organized. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing service. Just to cite one example: I never had any kind of pain after the wisdom tooth extraction. The same night I was out with my friend, thanks to Dr. Chen.

My hat off to Dr. Yvonne Chen, although young and tiny, her work on my teeth is a lot more professional and thorough than most of the more senior dentists I have encountered over the years. She is more attentive to the detail when doing my routine cleaning. She also teams up with an implant specialist for my two implants. I am more than satisfactory on the result. Now I get to enjoy more on some of the food that I could not before.

I have been coming to this office for more than 20 years. Dr. Yvonne Chen took over Dr Walter Chow’s practice for a few months. She remodeled the old office and looks like she renewed the office management software. Everything looks better, newer and even the staff is more efficient and more friendly. Her staff are extremely friendly and helpful!! I had a crown came out before my overseas vacation. Dr. Chen helped me to put it back and she even gave me a glue package for me to use for emergency repair if the accident happens again during my trip. She even taught me how to DIY for a quick fix. The next visit after my trip, Dr Chen thought that I needed to visit a root canal specialist. She even walked me to the specialist with my chart so that I could get the service immediately. I like Dr Chen’s service because she is kind, gentle, knowledgeable, ethical and “painless”!!! I would recommend Dr Chen to my friends. And I shall come back to have half year cleaning on schedule.

I have SEVERE dental anxiety (no joke). From the moment I made the appt – Jessica was understanding and reassuring. When I got to the appt. the X-ray tech (I’m so sorry I forgot your name) was great and understanding and explained everything to me so I didn’t run for the door! When I got to see Dr. Chen she took the time to explain everything to me. Developed a plan to minimize my anxiety and also took the time to understand why I had dental anxiety and made me feel as comfortable as possible! Dr. Chen and her teams focus was helping through my anxiety to get the dental care I need now and in the future!

My visit to Dr. Chen was about as good as a dentist appointment can get. Her staff was friendly and the office is clean and modern. Most importantly, she took the time to carefully examine my teeth and made sure I understood my options without any hard sell, her concern was that I make the right decision for me.

Dr.Chen is very patient and gentle. I’m with her for the last two years. I’m always very nervous on the dental treatment, every time she’ll try her best to calm me and make sure I don’t feel any discomfort. She’ll even provide me a blanket to keep me warm while being treated. Her clinic is so clean and well designed. It’s big plus.

It is the most wonderful experience that I had in Dr. Chen’s office. In the past, I had so many dentists told me that I will spend some big money for full mouth construction, and might need to remove all of my teeth, because I am diabetic so implant is not a good option for me. After talking to Dr. Chan she showed me the whole process step by step, she also working with other professional dentists to get a Second opinion, she tried to arrange appointment to fit my schedule. Over alI I had a beautiful smile again, thank you Dr. Chen! Fred Bee

Dr. Chen is great! I’ve been coming here for a few years now. Though I’ve since moved away to Los Angeles, when I am home visiting family and friends I make a point to schedule an appointment. The girl works on her day off just to accommodate my travel schedule! Do you know of any doctors that will do that for you?! She is honest and will make your teeth healthy again! She’s younger than your mothers dentist so she’s our age and a lot more relatable. Dr. Chen and her staff are super professional and this place is affordable for top quality dental care!

I can’t say anything but wonderful with Dr.  Chen’s dental care. Dr. Chen is knowledgeable and takes her time to explain my dental health issues. Her office manger has been so thorough from following up on appointments and taking care of dental insurance coverage.  Her team always makes sure that I have a proper oral care at home with each visit (I finally learn how to floss teeth!). Dental office visits are no longer least favorite routine anymore. I highly recommend Dr. Chen as your dentist.

I’ve been a client of Dr. Chen for over 8 years. Her practice and staff are great and do the best job. She makes me feel so comfortable every time I visit. Dr. Chen is always looking out for your best interest. If anyone is looking for a new DMD I would highly recommend giving her practice a call/visit.

Dr.Chen has been our famiily dentitst for more than 2 years now. Her practise is centrally located and the clinic is decorated well and kept clean. She takes utmost care of her patients and makes sure I have squeaky clean teeth when I leave after every visit. Dr.Chen also has a great team of assistants and they help out with questions about insurance and also get an estimate before so you know how much you would be paying. Dr.Chen also plans my treatment well by prioritzing my dental health and my insurance coverage. Dr.Chen is attentive to detail and she makes sure you have zero pain when undergoing procedures/treatment. It is rare to find all these qualities in one doctor and that truly sets her apart. Thank you Dr.Chen!

Dr. Chen is the hands down best dentist that I’ve had in my life and I recommend her to whoever needs a good and trusting dentist. I’ve been going to Dr. Chen for 6.5 years and she really takes care of her patients and has great service and office. Everything is organized and clean. Dr. Chen is a great dentist because she focuses on every detail of your treatment, no matter how little or big , sees every patient in person and cares a lot about their dental health. With that said, her dental health advice to me has always been very helpful to me as a patient. I definitely recommend her! She’s nice, pretty, and very good at what she does! You can ask her any questions you have during your visit and she will happily answer them to the best of her ability. I’ve had all my wisdom teeth extracted in her office and it was as pleasant of an experience as it could’ve been with all things considered-my teeth being extracted haha. Her prices are very straightforward and reasonable. If you’re looking for a great rebuilt in the Bay Area, I recommend dropping by to see Dr. Chen!

I’ve been coming to Dr. Chen’s office around five years. It is located near Washington Hospital in a small plaza. It can be difficult to find parking right in front of the office, but there is plenty more around the side. There is a small, brightly lit waiting room with a couple couches to flip through the mags or watch the large TV. This morning I arrived on the dot for my scheduled appointment, but I guess a other people wanted to get the turkey and cranberry out of their teeth too. I waited about eight minutes before I was seen. I think Eva is the name of the dental assistant that does the routine checkups. She is friendly and shares amusing stories while you have three things sticking in your mouth. I remember when I first started coming in, she used to talk to me like a grade schooler. Dude, I’m old enough to drink! I was happy she dropped that tone the next few visits, and it’s not a problem anymore. Yvonne is also very nice and down-to-earth, and seems genuinely interested in what’s going on in my life. She understands that some people can’t be bothered to do everything a dentist would want, and will suggest reasonable compromises between dental hygiene and convenience. When it’s not busy, Dr. Chen sometimes teaches interesting tidbits in dental anatomy, since she knows I was a bio major. As for the procedures themselves, they are good about asking you if you are comfortable, and are efficient with time. Normal checkups take less than 45 minutes. When you’re done, they will hand you a goodie bag and arrange your next appointment. They accept card, which is nice to rack up those sweet cash back points. They are very persistent that you make your appointment, and will send reminders by email and text. I like it because I’m forgetful, but it might be annoying for others. Other than that, I can’t really think of anything they can improve on. I highly recommend coming here to keep your pearly whites healthy!

Dr. Chen has been my dentist for several years now, ever since the previous dentist retired. She and her staff have always been very professional and friendly. They will go out of their way to explain every detail of the procedure and cost so you will know exactly what will happen. They will make sure your teeth and gums get the best of care. The office is generally very clean, and all the equipment are kept very sterile. They’ve been pretty flexible in terms of what dental insurance they accept, as the company I work for has gone through a few different ones. In the end, it is up to each of us to maintain our own oral hygiene, but Dr. Chen and staff will definitely help you along the way.

Dr Chen is an outstanding dentist and even deals very well with people who hate to have anything done to their teeth like me. She is calm, thoughtful, thorough and shares all treatment options and prices with you in a friendly and non-pushy way. The clinic is spotless and super modern and support staff very friendly and efficient. She also refers to excellent local specialists if needed. She will do her best for you. I have been with her for two plus years now and she has methodically dealt with a number of issues I had stemming from neglect.

I have been with Dr Chen for 3.5 years after my previous dentist retired. She is very professional and make sure I am comfortable throughout my visits. She explained the procedure very well and advise me what need to be done or not. The office is overall very clean and the equipments around are like new. Staffs are friendly and politely during visits. They always remind me the next appointment through email and phone. As I don’t visit different dentists, it is hard for me to compare the dental cost among them. I believe you can always ask during visits.  If you are afraid of visiting dentist, you should try Dr Chen and see the difference.

Being always conscientious of my teeth hygiene, I want my teeth at its top form. I am most delighted that Dr. Chen has quickly realized my dream! I am so happy Dr. Chen took over the business about two years ago. All the old stuffs are out, the most advanced equipments and the best tools are in. Dr. Chen patiently advised me and graciously took out all my old metal fillings and replaced with the most advanced nature teeth fillings. Her extreme gentleness in handling all these changes makes me feel so comfortable that I want to visit her for all my dental needs in the future – even it means to drive from my place in Palo Alto to Fremont for each visit since Dr. Chen is absolutely outstanding! What a fabulous feeling I have that the ugly dark metal fillings are forever gone as they could cause health issue in the long run. Her staff members are very friendly, too. Thank you, Dr. Chen for giving back my full confidence that I can laugh so freely and have great fun at the parties! Without reservation, I most highly recommend Dr. Yvonne Chen to anyone who wants the best dental care with very reasonable cost. Life is so fabulous!

Dr. Yvonne Chen worked with me to adjust the anesthetic I was given because I’m highly sensitive to it and don’t need as much as most people. I appreciate that she’s gentle and understanding about the stress dental work can cause with the sprayers and all that equipment in your mouth!

A+ dentist. I really do not know where to start: I had a dental emergency (sudden unstoppable toothache), and Dr. Chen was able to schedule a thorough appointment only a few hours later. Really a life saver. She diagnosed an early stage abscess and routed me to an endodontist in the same building. Overall a great experience and a perfect root canal + crown. On top of it, I need to thank Dr. Chen for showing me how to use my Sonicare correctly. No dentist before ever taught me how to use a toothbrush effectively, and that was a lesson that I (and my teeth) will remember for a very long time.

Dr.Chen is absolutely amazing. She is knowledgable, detailed-oriented, and really cares for the well-being of your teeth! I love how she always clearly explains what she’s doing and why she’s doing it. She is careful and always mindful of your comfort; many times, she’ll notice right away when I’m digging my nails into my hands (I’m a terrible flosser, so my gums are always sensitive during cleanings) and she’ll stop and ask if I was ok. All her staff are also really nice and courteous. They take the time to explain procedures and are great all around.

Dr. Chen is one of the best specialists in Bay Area. She has been my doctor for more than a year. I had pretty bad teeth situation and now we are close to finishing the treatment. I got wisdom teeth removed, sinus lift for implants done, root canal and crown done. I appreciate how caring Dr. Chen is because I breastfeed my daughter and it’s important for me to have as less anesthetic drugs as possible. She works with good team. I always know what is going on and what my copay is gonna be, no surprises ever. Also it is nice to receive phone-calls and zocdoc notifications about upcoming appointments. Thank you Dr. Chen for taking such a good care of my health.

I had a traffic accident last year. As result, I broke three of my upper front teeth. I spent a half hour searching for the broken pieces at the scene. Later, I was noticed by the ER doctor that there’s no use for those pieces anymore. For a while, I thought I would never look same again. However Dr. Chen did an amazing job on the restoration/repair my upper front teeth. The crowns look so realistic, and almost strong as the original. I’m very satisfied for the result.

Dr Chen is an outstanding dentist and even deals very well with people who hate to have anything done to their teeth like me. She is calm, thoughtful, thorough and shares all treatment options and prices with you in a friendly and non-pushy way. The clinic is spotless and super modern and support staff very friendly and efficient. She also refers to excellent local specialists if needed. She will do her best for you. I have been with her for two plus years now and she has methodically dealt with a number of issues I had stemming from neglect. Dr John Driscoll

Dr. Chen is sooo pretty, nice, and she really cares about your oral health. After she did a comprehensive exam on you, she will let you know everything that’s going on in your mouth, whether it’s good news or not so good news, then she will make you a plan that will not be overwhelming you at all. Just let her know your concern, she is very thoughtful, and will always recommend what’s best for you. She is doing sooo well on educating her patients. My previous dentist never explained why we did all of these, and what the purpose of doing them. Dr. Chen is different. She always spent so much time with me explaining everything to me in detail, until I am no longer confused. Every time at her office is a pleasant experience, bright and modern office, friendly and helpful staff, classical music, and Jo Malone candle (I know this is crazy). I highly recommend her to all of you. I go all the way to her office although I live in the city. It is essential to have a dentist that you are willing to trust, and I know Dr. Chen is the one.

Dr. Chen is an awesome dentist! I’ve actually been coming to this specific location for most of my life but it used to be very bland and very uninviting…but once Dr. Chen took over she completely re-vamped the place and gave it a much needed and up to date look. Dr. Chen and her staff are very professional and they all make every effort to make you feel comfortable (we all know it can be traumatizing at times). Dr. Chen is also a perfectionist and if something doesn’t look right she and her staff will immediately correct it and ensure you leave in top shape! Her staff is also very friendly when it comes to scheduling and reminders. I not only receive a phone call to confirm my appointment but I even get an email confirmation. You can setup text alerts as well which is also helpful. Lastly, Dr. Chen understanda we’re not all made of money. As a someone who is fresh out of college she is more than understanding that things can get a little pricey but she is very reasonable and can even work out payment plans if necessary. She’s always there to ensure the procedures you pay for are necessary and done right the first time! I highly recommend Dr. Chen and her staff! You should look no further and schedule an appointment now!

Dr.Chen is a perfectionist and scrutinizes over her own work.  She demands a lot of out herself and team, thus giving you perfect reassurance that you are and will always be in good hands.  Karen is also pleasant to work with on all other matters and is the practice’s best front person to date.  I’ve been soliciting Dr.Chen’s service since inception and will continue to do so.

(It’s worth noting that I literally made a Yelp to make this review.) I have been seeing Dr. Chen as my dentist for 5 years now, and I plan on continuing for as long as I can. The office is Mandarin-Chinese friendly and offers a relaxing and comfortable setting. I used to hate going to the dentist and experiencing lobby room anxiety before getting my teeth drilled into. I don’t share this feeling of dread when it comes to Dr. Chen’s office. It’s more of a “I’m looking forward to working with someone who’s going to help me take care of my teeth!” feeling. This is probably because I trust Dr. Chen. I believe that trust is a major factor when it comes to choosing any sort of healthcare provider. Dr. Chen critiques her own work and is always focused on improving–a quality many professionals lack. In addition, Dr. Chen and her assistants are always very keen to ensure their patients’ optimal oral hygiene in the long run. I remember them going over which electric toothbrush would fit best for my needs for my transition from high school to college. At the time I thought it was hilariously excessive, but now I understand how it reflects their level of service and dedication to the patients’ oral health. (I still use that toothbrush to this day because it’s A+) Lastly, the office not only gets the job done and takes care of your teeth, but also fosters an environment that makes it easy to communicate and feel at ease. Some patients may not care about friendliness, but I certainly found it pleasant to be able to have genuinely interesting conversations with members of the office. Dr. Chen’s office truly, truly offers excellent care for their patients, and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Chen is the best. I’ve been coming here for almost 5 yrs now. Whenever I have questions about a procedure that is being done, she never hesitates to sit down or call me to let me know what’s going on. Jessica the receptionist is great also. She’s very patient and friendly. I always feel well taken care of when I come here.

Dr. Chen is the best dentist. My wife and I went to Dr. Chen’s office. We had a nice experience. I want to thank Dr.  Chen again for her advices and professional cleaning works. My gum is healthier now.  I also got two of my wisdom teeth extracted today with deep sedation. I sleep thought the surgery without feeling anything. After the surgery, I recovered very quickly following her advice. Dr. Chen and Dr.Antipov are the best. I highly recommended.

Dr. Chen is an amazing dentist. She is always very professional and really prepared in all the different procedure I had on my teeth. I never experienced a problem after any of the treatment she performed on me. I have been treated for a cavity and for a wisdom tooth extraction and I was totally satisfied. Her office is super clean and her staff really friendly and prepared. She is always available if you have an emergency or some question after the procedure. I also really like her office: clean, new and well organized. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing service. Just to cite one example: I never had any kind of pain after the wisdom tooth extraction. The same night I was out with my friend, thanks to Dr. Chen.

First of all, I never write reviews, so the fact that I took time out to write one should tell other readers how important this was to me. I had the same dentist for ten years, but I mentioned to a friend that I wasn’t totally satisfied. He suggested I have a consultation and cleaning with Dr. Chen, who his whole family had used for years. His teeth looked great so I thought why not. I can’t believe it! I thought all dentists where the same. I’ve probably had five or six Dentists in my lifetime and that’s the way it seemed, but the first thing that impressed me about Dr. Chen was the thorough cleaning I received. No one had ever spent that much time and precision cleaning my teeth. My previous dentist had me in and out in ten minutes tops. Dr. Chen’s hygienist removed plague from years of superficial cleanings and they showed me exactly what had been missed and how I could prevent it in the future. Then, unlike my previous dentist, Dr. Chen, consulted with the hygienist and me to conduct a complete analysis of problems that would occur if I didn’t make some changes in my dental care. The great thing was, she didn’t make me feel bad about it, and she wasn’t an alarmist. It was all very positive and made me feel like I could keep my teeth and gums healthy forever with just a few simple changes that she could help with. I really had no idea how bad my previous dentist was until she pointed out some things that he had worked on. It was pretty clear that he had done a quick and sloppy job, but she never talked poorly about him, she just pointed out what we needed to do for proper lifetime maintenance. I had never had that before!. She actually took time to get to know me, my background, what types of food I like, anything and everything that could possibly have an impact on my mouth. It was a breath of fresh air. What a professional with a holistic approach who is not out to just make a buck! After all, she couldn’t bill the insurance company for the time she took to get to know my habits and develop a total care approach going  forward. They don’t pay for that, so it shows how much she cares and that she is proud of her work! This is the type of dentist that would be embarrassed if a patient of hers had a problem and she just simply is not going to let it happen. Amazing. I didn’t know people like this existed anymore. I saw someone complain how the deep cleaning took them a while to recover from. Well, the cleaning was much more than I was used to, but it didn’t hurt and there was no recovery time, but I guess if you are used to a hygienist that doesn’t actually clean your teeth it might feel different. The good news is, after they get rid of the years of plague you’ve built up from your current sloppy dentist it is much easier. I’ve been back for my second cleaning and since there was less plague, it was much easier, but the first time actually felt good to me because I felt they were actually doing something, and like I said, no pain. Dr. Chen and her staff are true crafts people. It’s funny, i saw one review say Dr. Chen was kind of a perfectionist. Ha, yeah, exactly the kind of perfectionist you want on your side. If you want to keep your teeth that is!
