The way that she works, the delicate sort of approach and attentiveness that goes with it, it really makes a huge difference .
Mary is an incredibly bright and creative dentist. She doesn’t just stay with her dentistry. And she always is curious about finding technology that make it better and easier. I’ve had many dentists before and also during this period of 10 years, I’ve tried other dentists that is covered by my insurance. Obviously, I don’t want to pay extra if I don’t have to. And I kept coming back here even though, you know, I’m not covered by my insurance. So I know it’s out of pocket for me, but it’s genuinely because of that, the way that she works, the delicate sort of approach and attentiveness that goes with it, it really makes a huge difference
Mehrdad N.I always feel like I’m very welcome here. Very happy!
I asked a colleague and she recommended this place. I came, and I met Dr. Qian. She’s very honest. When I walk in the door, the first thing I hear is, “Hi, Aaron, how are you? I know the staff, Pegah is always at the front desk and she’s awesome. I always feel like I’m very welcome here. Very happy!”
