Our daughter Olivia loves going to the dentist. Probably because shes always had a good experience every time she visits OPDSF. They are very kid friendly and their facilities are really catered to the young ones. Her hygienist Mei was very professional friendly kind. I felt at home when I first visited their dentist office. It was very welcoming and the staff were all helpful.

Weve finally found our pediatric dentist After so long OPDSF was great. The front desk staff were friendly and professional. I took my son there for his annual clean and Alex helped with the initial check up and cleaning and then Dr. Pang helped with the rest. My son has a strong gag reflex and they were able to work him through that process. I am bringing my other child in in a few days. Looking forward to returning for all of our cleanings.

Dr. Pang and the assistant Mei were great with my 18 month old for his first dental visit. They took their time with him when he got fussy and explained what was going on throughout the appointment. We look forward to coming back in 6 months.

Staff is amazing We took our 2 year old son for the very first time and the dentist was super knowledgeable came out to talk to me and offered her opinion and next steps. She also tried to know me on a personal level as this was our first time here. We will definitely be going back for our next visits.

I love Dr. Pang and her staff. The entire office is professional warm and kind. They honestly care about their patients and parents . The environment of the office is relaxing and playful. They have TVs for the kids to watch during their exams. The staff and Dr Pang do a great job of keeping the little ones calm.My son broke his tooth when he was in elementary school. Dr Pang worked her magic by making a partial fake tooth. She is so skilled as a dentist . You cant tell its fake. He hasnt had any issues 6 years later. Her work was and is phenomenal . She is the best pediatric dentist ever. The office sends Bday wishes every year. They check in via email with important happenings. They truly care about your children.

My daughter had an amazing first dental visit. All the staff were kind and patient. Mei the hygienist did a very thorough job and Dr. Mo explained all her findings and treatment plan very well. My daughter even got some prizes and stickers which she was thrilled about. I highly recommend ODPSF

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.
