What Our Patients Say

4.8 out of 5 based on 56 Google reviews

Dr. Chona is an exceptional dentist, and her office manager, Rod, is always kind, attentive, and welcoming. She is incredibly patient and gentle, and she truly knows how to make my children feel comfortable and safe during their procedures. I trust her judgment as she brings a lifetime of experience and it shows in the care she provides. The office is always spotless and well maintained. Our family (myself included) has been seeing her for over five years, and I’m so grateful we found her. Highly recommend!

I had sudden severe wisdom tooth pain and called hoping someone could see me without an appointment. Rod was incredibly kind and managed to fit me in with Dr. Chona. Even though she was very busy, Dr. Chona took the time to examine me and prescribed medication to help with the pain and infection. I’m very grateful to both Dr. Chona and Rod for their kindness and help. Thank you so much!
