Dr. Lum has been our family dentist for about 8 years, and we are very happy here. The staff are so nice and attentive, the office is very clean and bright. Scheduling is easy, and COVID precautions are still in place. I have had lots of fillings and procedures over the years from other offices, and had at least 4 other dentists while studying or living in other places, but Dr. Lum is by far my favorite. He never recommends unnecessary procedures, and the ones that have been done are not painful at all. Our kids (4 and 8) are also happy coming here and leave with smiles.

Very professional and upfront in analyzing dental procedure needed to be done. Dental hygienist (Norma) is always on hand preparing all the required X-ray and Christine efficiently follow up with dental insurance coverage and billing. There's no surprise billing here like other health insurance. You also get all the advice from Dr. Lum of how to take care of your teeth and you're in good hand when emergency arises with dental infection and needing prescription or instruction of what to do. We've been with Dr Lum since 2006 and really happy and grateful for taking care of our dental need.

Dr. Lum and staff Christine make the dental experience great! When I came to Dr. Lum, he gave me a thorough assessment of the overall dental condition. He found some problems and gave me options to treat them right away. He referred me to a very good Periodontist for specialized treatments. Fast forward to a year later, I had multiple treatments at both the Periodontist and Dr. Lum. My dental health returned to the level I want. Also, Christine (Dr. Lum's patient interface) is very efficient and flexible to work around my schedule. Thank you Dr. Lum and Christine. I highly recommend this team.
