Dr. Liu is a smart and kind dentist and I trust his skill. He's fast but experienced and effective--also attitude-free and friendly. He has an accent but I've only had to ask him to repeat things on a couple of rare occasions. He manually extracted 4 wisdom teeth (2 at a time) with remarkably little pain, and I was so impressed that he personally called to check up on me after both procedures! The office can get chaotic and feel "assembly line like" because it's high traffic and open (i.e., there are no actual separate rooms so you might see other patients). That can be a little nerve-wracking at first, especially if you get nervous at the dentist. It's not at all one of those elegant, high-end dental offices so if you're looking for that, you might be turned off (this happened to a friend of mine who switched to Penn because of it). But Dr. Liu is great and their location is so convenient--I got used to the atmosphere quickly and it doesn't bother me. I guess you can call it "no frills." The front desk staff may not be overly friendly but they are efficient and professional. I've never had any problems with insurance, payment, etc., and they call to remind me about appointments. I easily recommend Dr. Liu (and have)!

About Hygienist: I've had a couple of hygienists (don't know their names) and they've been good. Not super warm but not rude either--quick and efficient. This place gets a lot of traffic so I guess they have to be that way! They use this high pressure water machine that is so intense it can feel like needles at your gums but they told me it does a very thorough job so it's worth it. Their cleanings tend to be fast in my opinion, but I assume that is because my teeth are in good shape and not because they're rushing it. It comforts me that Dr. Liu always checks on their work afterwards, and he seems detail-oriented. Plus I trust him most.

I know this doctor: 1 1/2 years
