I took my child to OPDSF and had a great experience. They staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The set up is great for children. Mei was the assistant that helped my child and she is wonderful at her job. They make it a fun experience for the kids with a prize at the end of the visit and if your child has no cavities they are entered into a monthly drawing where they can win a game or toy. Dr. Chen was extremely kind and you can tell she really enjoys what she does. They all made my child and me feel comfortable and welcomed. If you are looking for a pediatric dentist this is the place to come to. My child is already asking when is her next visit.

We had a consultation today for my daughter. She is really scared of the dentist and I wanted to give OPDSF a shot. The front desk staff were friendly. Alex the dental assistant was very nice and helpful at keeping us calm. The place is super clean and organized which I really appreciate. When it was time to meet with Dr. Pang she was very friendly and my daughter eased up a bit and sat in the chair mostly. She was still scared but Dr. Pang made it fun as possible and we got through it. Even though it is far from us we hope to make this our go-to place. We appreciate everyones patience and friendly demeanor. We look forward to coming back soon. Thank you

My son was reluctant to have his cavities fixed at other dentals. We tried couple other but not working to him until came to OPD. He was so happy here got all his cavities fixed and still wanted to came back. We had Doctor Chen and she was so patient and nice. Definitely recommend her to kids

This was one of my regular visits here. Always felt welcomed and well-cared for. Dr. Lee is highly skilled efficient and made the entire process seamless. The front desk Clay and Mayo was very kind and efficient.I also had the pleasure of being assisted by Amy I must say her dedication and patience truly stood out. Despite Madanrin not being her native language she went above and beyond to communicate with me effectively ensuring I felt comfortable throughout the process. Her patience in explaining how to brush my teeth properly was incredibly helpful and made me feel genuinely cared for. Her commitment to providing exceptional care coupled with her kindness and understanding made my experience truly memorable.

We love this dedicated pediatric dental office. Everyone is responsive kind and professional. Our appt began on-time. Dr Pang and her assistant Mei were very sweet to Jane. They gave informative feedback and shared positive reinforcement. Jane certainly loves going to see them. The check-out process with Janelle was seamless. Thank you for everything you do

We had a fantasy appointment today. My daughters Hannah and Jolene always have such a positive experience at OPDSF. Rita and Dr. Chen were very gentle and very informative about brushing and with X-rays taken. Janelle and Laura were also very helpful in scheduling her next appointment.

Absolutely wonderful to work with. They truly do have plenty of ways to entice children to brush their teeth. Even their bathroom is decorated thinking of the little ones to make the experience less scary. Quickly becoming my new pediatric dentist for my girls needs.
