"My dental experience with Doctor Chua went very well. Doctor Chua is very attentive and willing to help you all the way in finding problems with your teeth.He also educates you on the problem and goes an extra mile to help you solve it.He is a very well educated dentist and I recommend him to anybody out there who needs a dentist. I would like to say his assistant Lottie is very nice also she is also attentive and willing to help in anyway. Also, Marilyn , the receptionist is also on top of everything she is always helpful and very nice. I recommend going to this dentist! you wont regret it!>>>. Joseph(South San Francisco)"

"Thank you for taking me on short notice to look at my teeth and cleaning. I really appreciated it. Sorry for the delay in giving you my dental membership number - I was off since the 5th, returning to work on the 18th - had my sister-in-law visiting from Germany - she stayed at my house most of her visit here. Thanks for your kindness and concern. Thanks also for your visit to my house!"

"Many thanks for the smoked salmon you gave me & my family for Christmas - it was very thoughtful. My girls will enjoy it with me. Thank you too for fixing my teeth so I'll have a prettier smile for the holidays - ha ha ha. You worked very hard that day - hope you didn't get a backache. I hope I'll not be spending huge sums for my teeth - I know it's unimportant but....I know you'll see to it that my insurance will cover as much as possible, and will charge the balance appropriately to me. Thanks for being so nice, understanding, and considerate. We're lucky to have you again in our lives."
