Once upon a time, Dr. Cheng Zhu was a successful pharmacist. But he left it all behind to pursue his true calling: helping people have beautiful, healthy smiles. Yup, that's the real story, and it's how you know that Dr. Zhu genuinely cares about taking care of your smile.
After making the leap from pharmacy to dentistry, Dr. Zhu earned his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree from one of the nation's top dental institutions, the Maurice H. Kornberg School of Dentistry.

Yesterday I was having extreme tooth pain from a busted molar. I looked up any dentist who could do an emergency last minute extraction.
The number I called ended up being the after hours number and doctor Zhu himself answered the phone.
From the moment we started our interaction he was tremendous and extremely helpful.
They got me and appointment the very next day early morning to get me taken care of.
When I showed up Luz and Brandi were an amazing help and they both had glowing personalities as well as all the nurses and assistants in the back. There is not 1 bad soul working there.
I highly

I just got done w my Invisalign and the experience in total could have been any better! Dr. Zhu and his team were so nice, explained everything really well throughout the months ans what to expect and always… were so complementary when I would come in! I would highly recommend their team for any wisdom teeth extractions, dental cleanings and of course Invisalign! They’re the best! Thank you again!! I love my new and improved yet still cute... SMILE!

I have to say Dr. Zhu is very skilled. He has a lot of experience for what he is doing. He squeezed me in for his day even he is super busy. And his staff is really courteous as well. Lala, Dr. Zhu's assistance was comforting me and helping me with my wisdom tooth's extraction. I highly recommend this place, you will get taken care by them.

Wow! All I can say is what a mess of an experience.First I was informed that I would only get X-rays and an exam, no cleaning . I had to make another appointment for that . Red flag one! I told he Xray tech ( who honestly did a great job ) that I needed to excuse myself for a moment.When I came back, I found the Xray tech and the "dentist" talking about my X-rays without me.
When I sat back in the chair, Dr.Marjan told me of all the dentil things I needed. I needed, according to her, eight fillings and five extractions and two crowns! I could not believe what I heard! I cancelled

Best dentist place in pleasant hill! I had a regular check up and cleaning here and had An amazing experience. The dental hygienist Kerri is very friendly, kind and extremely thorough with the cleaning. She spends her time (45 mins) to do a cleaning using a combination of ultrasonic tools and hand tools as well. Will definitely be returning here again for my future cleanings!
In addition the customer service is very friendly and the place is extremely clean and pleasant to be in.

I'm not great at reviews, but I love my dentist office. The whole staff. They always know who I am and welcome me with a smile and a nice hello. Even when I'm not there for myself. No one ever gets mad at me for not flossing, they just give me gentle reminders of why I should.😁
I don't know quite how long I've been going there, but I've never had anything but a pleasant experience. I recommend them to everyone.

Excellent experience from my first phone call to book the initial appointment, to the procedure and scheduling of my next appointments. Receptionists were very helpful, friendly, and informative. Assistants and hygienist too, as well as thorough and efficient. Dr. Cheng was excellent and attentive to my concerns. He is kind and great at what he does. He was able to extract my wisdom tooth before I even knew it was out! The whole office is exceptional at easing nerves and working with what you need for scheduling, pricing, procedures. Relieved to have found my new go to dentist office for All my

Dr. Zhu extracted my husband's wisdom teeth on short notice with precision, efficiency, and professionalism. Although it was a complicated case, Dr. Zhu and his staff addressed all issues and questions in attentively and with no issues. We were really impressed and highly recommend this practice to anyone who is thinking of oral surgery and wants the best care.

I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Zhu on a short notice for a tooth extraction, noting his many favorable reviews here. My regular dentist does not offer nitrous oxide gas as a form of sedation. In a word, I was so surprised at the quality of the services here. The staff was friendly, supportive. Dr Zhu was extremely kind, engaging and talented. The procedure was totally painless and successful. I am just so relieved! I recommend this doctor and his practice most highly.

The dentist I was going to retired, so I decided to switch it up and give this place a shot for teeth cleaning. Wow, I should have come here sooner.
The equipment is way more modern and painless. I got x-rays, and the piece you bite down on is way smaller. I was used to this huge thing that hurt the roof of my mouth, so I was pleasantly surprised.
Then they use some sort of sonic teeth cleaning tool that is completely painfree (though high pitched), which allows them to be more gentle when they eventually scrape your teeth.
The staff was very nice- the reception, dental hygienist, and
