Once again, very well taken care of by Dr. Lee. Went in for a deep-cleaning which I felt he was thorough & gentle. While he has my hood up he found an old fractured Mercury based filling. He drilled it out, cleaned it all up & installed an enamel filling that looks like a real tooth without the ugly mercury. He's great & I'd absolutely recommend him to anyone.

I need to share my poor experience with the staff at Dr Lee's office. My fiancée and I were happy patients but that was the past and this is now, former patients.

I called Dr Lee's office approximately 4pm on Thursday February 4th and talked to Kay for over 5 minutes. I told her at the time that my insurance has changed and gave her details and would email a copy of my card to her after my call. She said "no problem" and we booked our appointments for us back-to-back for Wednesday afternoon February 10th. We have always been booked back-to-back.

Between those two dates I

I was a new patient, and everyone in the office was kind and very professional. Dr. Charles and the staff are friendly, knowledgeable and very informative. He is a dentist with integrity, honest and straight forward. Once you get to your appointment, you don’t wait, they pass you immediately. The entire office was very up-to-date with modern equipment and it has such a pleasant environment. They were very gentle when they did my root canal, teeth cleaning, etc. I can’t thank Dr. Charles and staff enough for taking care of my teeth! It was a big relief to find such a great dentist. Don’t go

I’m certainly grateful to Dr. Charles Lee DDS for all he’s done for me. When other dentists don’t want to do certain Medical work due to the inconvenience of billing, Dr. Lee and his staff took care of needed crowns, cavities and I even have all my missing teeth replaced with partials. Also, their office is very clean with up to date equipment. They are also considerate enough to wear masks and check my temperature before each visit. Such responsible behaviors as cleaning their office properly, checking temperatures and wearing masks gives me the confidence they have my back along work their

I’m so happy I found this dentist office. Dr Lee and his staff are so friendly, helpful, and fast. They have made me feel completely at ease after having been anxious about the dentist my whole life. They’re also being very safe and taking a lot of precautions during these uncertain times, which I appreciate. Highly recommend this dentist.

Can't recommend. Did not have a good experience here. I lost a piece of a filling while flossing. I was told I needed a crown for the tooth. I had a deep cleaning done, full mouth x-rays and a filling on a different tooth. During the filling procedure an instrument was pinching my tongue and was quite painful. It caused an abrasion and hurt for a week afterwards. I have since been able to have a filling done on the tooth I originally went in to have repaired.

If you're searching for a dentist, look no further than Dr. Charles Lee. His professionalism and expertise are unquestionable. He has taken care of my dental needs for several years, and I trust and appreciate his skill and sincerity. I can count on Dr. Lee's straightforwardness to manage my teeth to keep them at their best. His office staff, Christy and Debbie, greets me with a smile, are equally professional in their manner, and make my visit to the office a pleasant experience. Dr. Lee, thank you for making my teeth one less thing for me to worry about.

I usually have nitrous oxide for all dental work. I was really nervous because Dr Lee doesn't use it. They helped calm my nerves. The appointments were quick and I love the results. Especially my front tooth.

Dr Lee is amazing!!!!! He is very thorough and very gentle. The whole office is very friendly. I am so happy that I chose this office to fix my teeth. I hadn't been to the dentist in over 10 years and wouldn't have put it off that long if I knew how easy this whole process was. The office feels like family and I am blessed to have found Dr Lee.

Going to the dentist is never going to be something I look forward to. However, I don't dread it. That's largely because a trip to Dr Lee's office is a pleasant experience. The staff is friendly and professional. They're timely (no waiting) but not in a hurry. It's a relaxed environment for patients and staff.

Additionally, Everyone anticipates the possibility of pain on a visit, but their staff goes above and beyond to make sure it's minimized.

Lastly, I appreciate a dentist that is not looking to generate business with procedures that aren't necessary or

I'm one of those people who gets super anxious about anything having to do with my mouth or dentists, but from the moment you walk into Dr Lee's office you feel comfortable and well taken care of. I was given a treatment plan with everything explained before hand and the costs for everything, what my insurance did and did not cover, so no surprises or hidden costs. Christy and Debbie always have a smile for you and they're just all around sweethearts. I never feel judged and even the most "painful" of procedures are handled with the utmost skill and care. I recommend Dr

I needed a root canal while being pregnant. My regular dentist gave me a list of referrals and Dr. Lee had a lot of good reviews so I gave them a call. The very first thing I asked the receptionist was if the dentist would do a root canal on a pregnant woman. A lot of places won't do it. She let me know I would need authorization from my doctor, which I already had. So I scheduled an appt a week out. The day before my appointment, receptionist calls again to make sure I have my authorization from my doctor. Again, let her know I had it. The next morning I get to my appointment 30 minutes early

I've been going to Dr. Lee for about 2 years now, and my wife has been going to him for many years. I'ts honestly hard finding doctors that you like as a person, not just as a medical physician.

Dr. Lee is professional and very kind, along with ALL of his staff. Everyone greets you with a smile and cares about you!

Thank you Dr. Lee for helping me find a Dentist that I can take my kids to someday!
