These people hurt me and I mean HURT me. The dentist simply became impatient, and tried a shortcut, at my expense. I posted a review on another site weeks ago and they said they would follow up my complaint once they had looked into it, they did not.

Phenomenal Dentists and Staff. I absolutely love this place. I have had a major fear of dentistry my entire life but this place ABA Dental is the best I have ever experienced in my short 50 years. I no longer am afraid of dental work. The dentists Dr Mao and Dr Lau have changed my life. Thank you sooo much. I appreciate and respect you both to the utmost

Dr.Lau and staff were excellent! Right from the very first telephone consult as a new client, I felt at ease. For someone who is terrified of the dentist the WHOLE staff made the visit enjoyable and comfortable! Thank you

My experience at ABA was exactly how a dentist office should be the front desk people were very friendly and informative. When I was brought to the back my old fears of a dentist rushed in until I was sitting in the chair and my dentist walked in she explained everything to me and probably not realizing her calm and friendly attitude actually calmed me down I never felt any pain and I was relaxed. Before I knew it she was done. Hats off to ABA clinic I will recommend this dentist and clinic in a heartbeat to anyone looking for a quality place to get work done on your teeth. thanks ABA
