PATIENT REVIEWS

I was referred to Dr. Lu by my sister who has had her as a dentist for years. She did my deep cleaning within 30 mins or so… she numb my mouth and worked quickly because the numbing cream was only gonna last for 15 mins. I was in and out of de. Lu’s office, with minor pain and super clean teeth! Bottom line, she gets the job done and well. If you’re looking for a good dentist that will do their job right and efficiently!! Dr.Lu is your dentist, she will be honest with you and recommend what type of services you need done. They have their own little small parking spot in the back, if it’s full you’ll find some parking on the street but most likely you’ll find a spot in the parking lot. oh another thing you need to know is that she only see patients by appointments, I don’t think she takes walks in.. so make sure to give her office a call and book your appointment

I was referred to Dr. Lu by my sister who has had her as a dentist for years. My molar had cracked and I was in so much pain. Dr. Lu did my root canal painlessly and completed my crown the following week. Bottom line, she gets the job done and well. I’m sad she doesn’t accept my insurance but will pay full cost just for reassurance my root canal gets done correctly. Best root canal & crown doctor I’ve had thus far

Dr. Lu is great, I have been seeing her for years. She doesn’t beat around the bush, she tells you what the problem is and your options for fixing it. The quality of her work is outstanding.  She is very accommodating, having seen me several times for emergency treatment without an appointment. Her staff is friendly, and most importantly efficient. Her rates are more than reasonable and X-Ray equipment is computerized and not outdated. If you’re interested in seeing a dentist who knows what she is doing and stands by her work, see Dr. Lu. Reviews about dentists should focus on the quality of the dentist’s work, not about a dental assistant too busy focusing on doing their job coddle some insecure reprobate.

I owe this dental office a review. Dr. Lu is very professional and knowledgeable. At times the office maybe overwhelmed with patients and at other times they may not. I happen to be one of the patients to show up without an appointment because I had a serious toothache. In emergency situations like this, I’m glad i was able to see a doctor right away and not schedule an appointment for the next available date. Everyone’s fear from the dentist is pain. I am intolerant to pain but her teeth cleaning is pain free. Basically the more you take care of your month and the more regular check ups you do, the less pain. The more crud and build up in your teeth will obviously lead to more scrubbing and possibly pain. If there are any issues in your mouth Dr. Lu will explain to you what is going on. With a background from USC she is very knowledgeable. I had an abscess drained one time, not knowing what one was. Floss, brush and rinse. Keep your teeth in good condition and you will be rewarded with a pain free visit. Prevention is the cure to any problems. Keep that in mind.

I love coming to Vivian Lu. I first came here while looking for a dentist to extract my wisdom teeth out. Other places told me that it would cost a lot (I don`t have dental insurance) because I need a specialist due to the fact that my wisdom teeth were still hidden. I came to Dr. Lu and she told me she can do it for me and she did the procedure that same day I visited her. The process was quick and painless, thus I didn`t need to pay twice as much because Dr. Lu helped me. Dr. Lu is super nice, funny, chatty, and just great. I`ve been coming here for 3 years now and nothing has changed. Same great service. I highly recommend anyone to go to Dr. Lu.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Lu for almost five years now, and she is awesome! She has a great sense of humor and always a smile. She is very reasonable with her prices. I’ve saved a nice amount of money when compared to the prices I had to spend with my previous dentist. I love her recpetionist/front desk girl, what a sweetheart! I have to agree with Sophia W that Dr. Lu can be a little chatty, but a lot of times she’ll just tell you funny stories while she is working on your mouth. It does make the time go by quick. In fact, I think my last cleaning really only took about 7-8 minutes (and then a few more minutes for the flouride polish…which totally tickles me!) Maybe cuz I’m a good girl, and go every six months like you’re supposed to! I have referred Dr. Lu to a ton of my friends, and they all love her too!

Dr. Lu is great.  Her office is opened on Saturdays and she will do her best to accommodate your schedule.  I made an appointment to get something done on one of my crowns.  When I went in she had already had a payment plan and a plan on what they would do to minimize the amount that I would have to pay out of pocket.  I was very impressed with this since most dentist could care less about how you would have to come up with your deductible.  Dr. Lu actually tried to make it work to within my budget.

Dr. Lu is a very professional and knows what she is doing. She is honest. She will let you know what needs to be done now and advise what can be done later. One can trust Dr.Lu to provide gentle and thorough dental care.

I installed the crown and I ate some hard stuff the crown cracked, surprisingly Dr Lu replace it for free Thank you so much doc to come to the office on sunday on your day off, while I am in pain. Pain level is 9 when it cracked, but Dr Lu fixed it for me. Thank you

I’m a new patient of Dr. Lu’s… after a few referrals from my friends, including Anthony T. Currently I’m in the process of getting an implant done for one of my molars and she is assisting me in making it affordable – in a combination of payment plans, dental insurance and so forth. I can’t believe that I didn’t go to her sooner. Dr. Lu and her staff are wonderful! They are compassionate, helpful, great at what they do. They all all personable and soothes my fear of the dentist. My cleaning and extractions have been quite tolerable. I just can’t thank her enough. Parking is wonderful there. There have been times where the wait was long – but the receptionists, assistants, and Dr. Lu have been extremely apologetic with the wait time.

Dr Lu been our family dentist for the last 20 years , she is very professional and the office staff are very friendly, doesn’t matter if you have insurance or not she always have good prices and very patient. Thank you Dr Lu you are the best.

I love Dr. Lu. I wish I could have taken her to Boston with me, where I recently moved. She has been my dentist for years. I think it will be very difficult to find a dentist as honest as Dr. Lu. Once I have been to another dentist where there were many doctors who were rotating. They did not even talk to me and pushed unnecessary procedures. After examination they said I have to do these fillings on about 7 teeth (It was a long time ago, so I do not remember the exact number) and tried to push many procedures that were impossible for me to pay. Then I found Dr. Lu upon a friends’ recommendation. She told me none of those fillings were necessary. She monitored my teeth for years, and those teeth that the previous dentists wanted to do fillings for and said would get cavities within two months if he did not do the fillings now, never got a cavity. Dr. Lu is very attentive and caring. She knows who you are, monitors your teeth and you can completely trust her professional opinion. After years of being her patient, I am absolutely certain that she will never push an unnecessary procedure to her patient. She is a very very good doctor.

Best dentist by far in the 626 area Dr. Lu is kind pleasant and knows what she’s doing. She goes over everything before she even exams your teeth. She’s up front and honest and mostly she’s great at her work. I actually enjoy my dental visit since coming to see Dr. Lu. Her office is very clean and her staff is helpful they speak both Chinese and English. I would definitely recommend Dr. Lu.

Dr. Lu is awesome! I had my wisdom teeth pulled from her a few years ago and was very impressed by how little pain I felt. I had always heard stories of people crying in pain not being able to eat for weeks but I was up and ready to rock and roll in under 24 hrs. I am sure everyone has a different story but I guess I was lucky. She spent awhile taking her time with my wisdom teeth because they were in a awkward shape and she actually took 45 mins carefully breaking one of my upper ones into small pieces to pull out. The next time I came to visit I needed to replace my old fake tooth. Last time I replaced it was over 7 years ago. I always hated how awkward it felt but I was very surprised how well Dr. Lu made my new tooth. It fits perfectly and looks real! She was very good on explanation of each options I was afforded and price, she did not force me to choose her method but let me do my own research.

I’ve been going to Dr. Lu since 2002.  Of all the dentists that I’ve been to Dr. Lu is the best.  She’s always confident with her work.  Always very knowledgeable and explains procedure.  She is is very personable and makes you feel comfortable.  5 Stars is what i give her and her dental office!

Dr. Lu is great! She is quick but detail with her ultrasonic scaler. I feel almost no pain while she cleans. Her staff is also very friendly! My visits usually only last 20-30 minutes and my mouth feel clean and refreshed after.
