I sent an email roughly a year ago asking if they take and honor my insurance prices and I still have not heard back from anyone here. I guess I'll make an appointment and if all goes well as far as honoring my insurance prices then I'll change my rating review.

Had a awesome experience with Dr. Choi today. Loved how he was very informative and caring with my tooth extraction. I have hard time going to dentist in general but he made it so easy for me and zero pain on the procedure overall. Ask for Dr. Choi and he will take good care of you.
