Nathan Z.

Dr. Chen was great! Not only is she very kind, caring, and patient – she did a thorough exam and explained everything very clearly. She even has a camera to show you what she is seeing during her exam and nice, new equipment. Her office is also sparkling clean and her staff are friendly! Thank you, Dr. Chen!

Sarah H.

The best dentist I’ve ever been too! Dr. Chen is very gentle and kind who cared a lot about her patients. She goes over every procedure with you before she begins. Her team of ladies are the nicest people who love to make you laugh! The facility is incredibly clean with state of the art equipment! I’ve been going to her for ages and I now drive 3 hours to come see her. That is how good she is!

Jinny C.

Jeannet V.

Dr. Chen is a great dentist! I had a great experience. She is thorough, skilled and knowledgeable! More Importantly, she spent a lot of time explaining everything that she was doing. Highly recommended!

LJP

Dr. Chen is an amazing and awesome dentist! She was recommended to me by a friend, and I now STRONGLY recommend her to everyone! She is very detail oriented, knowledgeable, skilled and friendly. My experience with her and her staff is positive and excellent. She is worth visiting and switching over to.

Barnett S.

We love Dr. Chen. She was introduced to us by mutual friends. We were new to TX and needed a new dentist, so meeting Dr. Chen was definitely a blessing. My family and I have been her patients since then. We are so excited for her new practice. The office is beautiful; they have state of the art equipment; and because it is her own practice, she doesn’t skimp on materials that she needs to keep her patients comfortable. I love the convenience of making your appointment online (forms can also be filled out online). I also appreciate the text reminders. Dr. Chen and her staff are amazing and definitely recommend this practice!

Theresa S.

Very professional and courteous!! Exceptionally clean office with current technology! Dr. generously provided detailed explanations of the procedures performed, which made me feel extremely comfortable. When I arrived for my appointment, I was told a former front office employee didn’t handle things properly which resulted in my appointment not being in their system. The staff and Dr were extremely apologetic and even worked me into the schedule!! I appreciate the conversation by the doc and assistants; they took the time to answer my many questions and didn’t appear to be rush or in a hurry!! Definitely glad I found this office!!!

Cetelia B.

Great, hospitable staff and welcoming atmosphere. Helpful and informative. Accomodating to naps. Also offers free poppers and smells like fresh leather. 10/10 🙂

Angela K.

I have been scared of dentists my whole life, coming into this office from the door to the chair has changed my outlook completely. Dr. Chen and Vonda were informative and explained everything to me in words and terms I could understand, all with a gentle hand and compassion. With the extensive dental work that I need Dr. Chen gave me options and described the pros and cons of each route. We were able to immediately pick a plan of action, and get right back on the schedule to begin the work. Dr. Chen and her staff are phenomenal if I could give 10 stars I would. I have found my family’s forever dentist.
