Patient Reviews

Dr Gao has been my dentist for the past several years. I visit him often for routine cleaning and a lingering infected root canal. I'm very impressed with his down to earth personality, as well as his expertise and knowledge. Unlike other dentists I've had over the years, he only takes x-rays and CT scans when it's necessary. His staff are amazing as well. The front desk and the hygienists are always so friendly and eager to help. I used to dread going to the dentist but my experience with Dr. G
