Dr. Park goes above and beyond. She repaired my chipped tooth beautifully, then addressed the root cause - other tooth surfaces that were stressing the tooth. I appreciate this thorough approach to my dental care. The staff are kind and supportive too.

Julianna, aged 13 had a baby tooth extracted, without anesthesia. She was terrified.
Dr Park, and notably her assistants, were extremely good with her. They talked cheerfully and were very reassuring with her. It was fairly quick. Much better than we had hoped for. I particularly liked the cheerfulness. We could have even chosen a movie.

Dr. So Young Park is an amazing dentist. Her office staff were tentative and kind. They tended to my toothache and helped relieve my chronic pain.
I went in to make a mouth guard to wear at night because I grind and clench my teeth. I have gone to another dentist before and the prices there do not compare. I paid a very reasonable price for my night guard and I would definitely recommend Dr. Park to anyone who needs a new dentist.
Office was clean and organized. I was able to choose from Netflix and Disney+ to watch while I get my teeth worked on. I was even given a hot, disposable, lavender

Gentle and caring dentistry with top notch hygiene protocols! Dr. Park is truly a dentist with a staff and office that cares! Your teeth and gums will thank you for it! They treat their patients like family—come to think of it, I think I may see them even more often then I see my own family…anyway, your smile is worth it. Get in for an appointment - it’s easy!

Going to the dentist is not fun (sorry Dr Park), but it does help when the whole staff is so friendly and in good spirits every time you do go. Despite being so busy, they’ll always take the time to make sure all your questions are answered, never rush through appointments. They really do care. Dr Park and her assistants are gentle but thorough, and they are honest (I’ve been to dishonest ones before that nearly ruined my relationship with dentists altogether! And ones that poke your gums like crazy during cleanings and don’t know how to slow down and be gentle…) Won’t be going to any

I've been going to this office since 2012. Dr. Park took over the last few years and she and all her staff are awesome. They are super helpful and make procedures easier when you have anxiety. Always checking to make sure you're comfortable. She has introduced me to some great preventative products which have been working wonderfully. The entire office is so friendly and personable. Amazing practice, highly recommended.

Like everyone I have a fear going to the dentist. I was over due for a cleaning. I saw an FB posting and decided to make an early appointment. There wasn't much reviews but they were all 5 stars.

Street parking is tough but if you drive behind the buildings there is lots more and convenient. However this can get filled up too. Earlier or later appointments, after lunch, can alleviate this problem.

As I came in, very clean office, I was greeted by Belinda with a warm smile. She did the preliminary work, offered coffee and told me I was next. Dee Dee, Dr. Park's assistant

I needed a possible root canal and 2 crowns. Called Dr So Young's
(yes it really is her name) office and the reception was genuinely concerned and squeezed me in on short notice even though I am new to their clinic. There were clips of dental jokes on the wall which made me chuckle.
Then Dr So Young came to see me with her assistant. She was very good. Very technical and skillful in her diagnosis. Was genuinely caring, which I would have never associated dentists with. She told me the price and what I can do. Turns out I had a nasty cavity and she would patch that up and redo the crowns

I usually loathe going to the dentists and have never fully trusted them (whether for pushing services, not addressing issues right away that end up getting worse and costing more, or making things sound way worse than it is so they can make more money off of insurance), but my experience at Dr Park's office changed that. She and her staff are so accommodating and approachable. She was able to explain things to me in a way that wasn't intimidating, and was honest about what should be addressed now vs what can wait to accommodate finances. I always felt bad the way previous dentists would

Dr. Park has taken over for long time dentist Dr. Nomura and everything has been great so far! The transition has been smooth- scheduling appointments is easy and the staff is friendly. I had my first cleaning the other day and got some advice on brushing and flossing techniques. Dr. Park and her assistant were very thorough in their cleaning and have a nice way of treating their patients. Overall, I'm satisfied and will be a returning patient.

I recently switched to having Dr. Park as my primary dentist, and I couldn't be happier to have made the change!

For my first visit, I went in for a regular teeth-cleaning. The receptionist was very clear and kind about the insurance information and previous dentistry records that they needed from me.

As for the teeth-cleaning itself, I have never had such a gentle, yet thorough, teeth-cleaning from any of my previous dentists! Throughout the entire time while Dr. Park was working, she constantly made sure that I was comfortable. After the cleaning was finished, Dr. Park gave me a few pointers

I met Dr. Park while she was, unbeknownst to me, filling in for another dentist in the area where I live. I was very impressed with her competent no-nonsense yet gentle way of explaining in full the approach she would take to deal with the issues she saw in my x-rays.
When I learned she had returned to her practice in San Jose, I decided immediately to make an appointment for the follow-up work in San Jose, although it would entail a two-hour round trip. What an excellent decision!!! Her office is so friendly, competent and accommodating and her work is so excellent, I will continue to make the

Dr Park recently took over Dr Nomura's dental business. The transition was seamless. I had my teeth cleaned today by Dr Park and was very impressed! Her attention to detail is terrific and she's very kind and friendly.

If you're looking for a good dentist that you can trust, I recommend you try Dr Park.

Thanks Dr Park!
