Good angels saving lives a true wonderful experience good to know there are good people out there that know kindness compassion and the value of life.
I had to write this review for this office as it was a life saver literally for me.
I had been having complications after a routine procedure done by another dental practice. I had seen two other dentist in the 6 months who were of no help to me in figuring out what turned out to be a fairly simple problem. I contacted this dental office in miserable pain, and loss of all hope for any help. They got me in within a day, and fixed my problem right away. As I said I visited other dental offices previously, who all were not helpful, rude, and no compasion. This office was totally a different experience for me. All the staff was very pleasant, friendly, helpful, and most of all compassionate. The dentist was extremely professional and very knowledgeable, and sensitive with me as I was a ball of anxiety and fear. They were all a true God send. THANK YOU STATE VALLEY DENTAL! I FINALLY FEEL GOOD AGAIN!
Dr. Chung was awesome. He fixed my molar (root canal) and crowned it in the same day. Very nice, a man of few words but he’s compassionate and a wonderful dentist. Customer for life. The hygienist was amazing too, walking me through every step. The Doctor numbed me painlessly, I was so scared about that big needle but in the end, no pain, professional work and a FANTASTIC experience. The staff were outstanding. Cannot give enough thanks to ALL of these people.
