Muy buena atención recomendada
Dr Yu has s amazing! I have been going to her practice for many years. She is very thorough, personable and her office staff is top notch. I would highly recommend her!
Yesterday’s 6 mo dental visit was as expected…I knew that my lack of flossing would get me to get that needed deep cleaning. Tech Farina prepped me for my cleaning by Dr. Kara Yu with flossing. As always from my initial visit, I was greeted by Dr. Yu’s smile & humor & her laugh, putting me at ease. She explained thoroughly each step. And if something bothered me, I was to let her know. I brought my mouthguard for checking. And then, Dr. Yu had Tech Jamie just schedule me for next 6 mo checkup while I stepped out of the chair. It saved me the time to not stop at the front desk. Cedarwood Pleasanton Dentistry delivers great patient care…
She is amazing
Dr. Yu is fantastic, very professional and caring
She is the BEST I was scared to go to the dentist before going going to Dr, Yu she funny honest and she makes me very comfortable as possible if I need anything all I have to do is call plus being my friend. I have recovered a coworker to her and she really likes her as well. I won’t go to any other dentist and her staff is great friendly like you were family.
Great Doctor. Professional staff.
Dr.Kara Yu is great, I did not think my wisdom extraction will go this smooth. Thank you Dr.
Glad to find the dental care I trust and enjoy.
She’s awesome
Very good
Great care with a personal touch.
Dr. Yu is the most perfect dentist I have ever encountered. Her work is tedious and very long lasting as in permanent. She is worth every moment and dollar spent on her services and then some. She cares about her patients and has a very unique way of making her patients feel comfortable. She is humorous and very professional. I can't imagine going to anyone else. My family and friends really enjoy the services as well. She has skills that surpass most in her field and takes her work very serious. I thoroughly enjoy and appreciate her and her staff. The Best Dentist Office in the Bay Area!!!!!
They are super nice and funny. I was not comfortable at all, but their demeanor lightened the mood
I always get excellent care with Dr. Yu and staff! The friendliness, professionalism, great care, and laughs make going to the dentist fun.
