Dr. Shu and her Staff did a fantastic job. Very clean, no waiting time. Donna is doing an excellent job following up with you and checking how you are doing. I definitely recommend Ambleside Dental.

The best dentist I would say, Dr Shu is so patient, I have done so many fillings, 4 cleaning and another extraction with her and she would never let me down. And their front desk lady, Donna is amazing too. 10/10 recommended!

Great staff, very welcoming, friendly, and accomodating. I was able to get in on the same day for my dental emergency. The hygienist is great and gentle. Dr. Shu is very nice and knowledgeable. She always tries to make things right. The overall experience is great and I am going back for sure.

Eeeeek! The dentist. I hate the dentist, especially since I have an allergy that prevents me from being properly medicated. The initial experience here was great, the receptionist is nice, so is the hygienist. Dr. Sherkat is a really soft-spoken, gentle guy, and he even calls to check up on clients after their procedures (both myself and my partner had work done here). Oddly enough, I had a root canal that went really well, totally pain-free, but my fillings were another story... Ouch! Maybe my mouth wasn't frozen enough.
