Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

BEST DENTIST EVER.
Dr. Kau and his staff are the best. They work well with children and my kids love coming. They feel calm and leave with positive feelings. All their dental needs have been taken care of professionally, and I love that he listens to my concerns and resolves them. I would go to no one else. I only wish he saw adults so I could have him check my teeth.

Dr Kau and his staff are by far thee best dentist for children. I have been to a lot over the years (i have 4 children) and have never experienced such amazing service. My kids are no afraid of the dentist any more, the staff is amazing to work with and extremely friendly, I have gone to them for a while now and still have had the best service each time.

My children LOVE Dr. Kau. He is very experienced with children, takes time to answer all my questions and concerns, and is very gentle. My kids ask all the time when they can return to the dentist and get excited to go to their appointments. We feel so lucky to have found such a caring dentist.

We had several bad experiences with dr Kau. They don’t seem to have any experience with children and catering to their needs. My children were terrified of returning to the dentist after our last experience. We have since found a new dentist and their fears are gone. The new dentist found several cavities dr kau missed along with 3 baby teeth my son should have had extracted years ago. His permanent teeth are now growing in crooked and with no space to grow, he will need orthodontist now
