Is it wrong to love a dentist? I went to 720 King West to have a dentist closer to where I live and because of the great Yelp reviews. I'm glad I went here!
I was a bit wary with the 1 hour consultation I was forced to do in order to get a cleaning and thought it was a b.s. way to get extra money BUT it was actually very helpful and informative (and did not take 1 hour or even 30 mins!). They take photos of the teeth which assist the x-rays and they go over the photos with you so you can really see what's going on. It's also evidence if they really have to do a procedure. What I liked is that no one tries to push anything on you. My last dentist would try to get me to do teeth whitening (which Dr. Hao thought my teeth looked fine) and would always try to get me to switch out my silver fillings for white ones for cosmetic purposes. Dr. Hao works on a "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" philosophy that I completely agree with. Why spend more money if there's nothing wrong in the first place? He's very thorough and will scrape up bits off your teeth if necessary. Like the cement from my braces that I had removed 14 years ago! Why didn't my previous dentists notice that?
The waiting room is pretty plain, just some magazines, but all rooms have a t.v. which at first I thought was frivolous, but man is it SO nice to have a distraction while they're doing their work. It takes your mind off of the "Are we done yet?" soundtrack that gets played in your head. They've got a ton of channels so if you want to watch HGTV or the Food Network you're in luck.
Staff is friendly and nice and can give you a reminder call or e-mail the day before which is always appreciated. Everyone really tries to make you feel comfortable which is great and Dr. Hao is a nice and funny guy!
Thumbs up for 720 King West Dental!
