Terrific! I started seeing Dr. McFaul in 2019 to address pain in my teeth. Dr. McFaul identified all of the problems and explained my choices in a very helpful way. I could tell he really cared about my dental health, and he even consulted with another dentist before making recommendations for treatment. Dr. McFaul is a very gentle practitioner and he really takes his time to make sure everything goes smoothly. We even texted and used FaceTime to communicate during the covid crisis. Oh, and his dentist chairs massage, and you can watch Netflix during the procedure. Doesn't get any better!

I cannot say enough good things about this business! The number of 5 star reviews speaks for itself. I was so relieved to have found Dr. Wong to help fix some previous dental work at another dentist in town. The front desk staff and hygenists are friendly and helpful. I really appreciate Dr. Wong's high quality work, her bedside manner and sense of humor, and the attention to detail, both in the comfort of the office, as well as in the amount of information they track regarding your dental history. Stop searching Yelp for a dentist right now. You've found the right one with Dr. Wong

I don't like doing bad reviews. This is just based on my experience. The family was great, they are personal and down to earth. I just had a bad payment experience. I was given a quote based on my insurance. After getting fillings I was told that I would pay $262 out of pocket. I allowed the dentist to do as much work he can do for me. It was December and my insurance was going to run out. I might as well support a local practice instead of letting my insurance go to waste. I was ok with paying a certain amount out of pocket but I just want fair transparency if I'm going to get a

Drs. McFaul and Wong are incredibly generous with their time and expertise, and their hygienists are skilled and caring. They have been able to find time for unexpected extra procedures to happen on the same day multiple times and always got my teeth & retainer fixed perfectly and quickly.

I decided to change my dentist recently and did a lot of research for dentists convenient to me with a family practice. I chose this place seeing the amazing reviews all over the web and how they're super personable and actually get to know their patients on a more personal level so that they can better relate and make you comfortable there. I super appreciated the detail and thoroughness Dr. Wong went through just for my consultation. I wasn't able to finish within an hour since i didn't know consultations were over an hour so i had to leave to return to work, but i was allowed

I've had the good fortune of having Dr. McFaul as my dentist. He is considerate, thoughtful, professional, and an exceptional craftsman. He is extremely passionate about his work and making sure you are fully educated about the procedures. He makes you aware of all the considerations and gives great advice taking into consideration your age, dental history, and cosmetic priorities. And most importantly, his handy work is as good as it gets. The staff is amazing as well. The hygienists are meticulous and thorough. They are also passionate about their work. I've gone over time on my cleaning
