Dental Patient Reviews Saratoga

You can never go wrong with Dr Rong!!! He truly is the best dentist I’ve ever had, which is saying something because I’ve seen my fair share of dentists! He is extremely patient, gentle and seeks the absolute best for his patients no matter how many hours it takes. He worked tirelessly on one of my teeth striving for nothing short of perfection. His kindness and genuine care are truly a rarity. I HIGHLY recommend him and would give him a hundred stars if I could! Also he has a wonderful dental assistant, Maria, who is exceptionally competent and always on it!

I struggled for a long time before I decided to have my two bottom wisdom teeth extracted. Doctor Rong helped me with it. It really shocked me because it only took a few minutes to get it out and I didn‘t feel pain in the evening or the next day. My husband and my son kept asking me how I felt and they couldn’t believe. I know, even I can’t believe. Doctor Rong is extremely gentle, patient and he always listens to the customers for their concerns and expectations. The front desk Dee is very helpful and the whole team makes me feel very comfortable. I went to other dental centers before due to insurance change but I came back because Genuine Care Dental is the best and I feel most comfortable here.

Genuine Care Dental was great. I recently moved to the bay area and I can say that I have never had a dentist come out and greet me and talk through expectations in the waiting room for a cleaning. All the staff were very friendly, and the Dentist did all the cleaning himself while talking me through what he was doing and sharing tips and tricks. Overall 5 stars!
