"Always amazing service. I've become very excited about going to the dentist. A very wonderful dentist & staff. My teeth have never been cleaner / more taken care of."

"My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Lu for about five years now and he is hands down the best dentist we've ever had in our lives. He is kind and extremely thorough & careful. What prompted this review today is that a small piece of an old filling broke off two days ago. I emailed Dr. Lu at 1am asking if it'd be possible to see me in the next few days. He emailed me back at 7:30am offering to see me at 10am that same day. I was able to get to his office that day and the following happened (to give context, I'm currently heavily pregnant with a baby due later this month): 1. Without my asking he pulled up my old xrays so I could avoid the extra radiation (I know it's considered safe, but I really appreciated this thoughtfulness) 2. Dr Lu saw that the filling was fortunately quite shallow and offered the following if I wanted to avoid local anesthesia so close to birth: wait a month til after baby or do the procedure without anesthesia. 3. He then asked if I wanted to talk it over with my husband and gave me time to consider what would be best for me. When I was considering this, I literally said to my husband "you know, Dr. Lu is the only person I would trust to do this without anesthesia." I didn't want to spend the next month being afraid that more of the filling would break off so I decided to get the filling without anesthesia. 4. Dr. Lu started an episode of The Office for me and I practiced my calm breathing and reminded myself that any pain was productive pain (birthing classes talk a lot about this haha). I also figured it'd be good to practice being in pain since baby is coming in less than a month. However, during the procedure there was NO PAIN. The most painful part was maybe a 1 or 2/10. Hurt less than the anesthesia shot that you usually get, and that really speaks to the level of Dr. Lu's skill and care. I can't tell you how grateful I am that I can spend the rest of my pregnancy not worried about this filling. It's a really remarkable thing that Dr. Lu did and it's wonderful to be able to eat without worry. Thank you Dr. Lu!!!"

"Great team. Friendly and efficient."
