Why People Love Dental Associates of Lodi

Paige P.

Dental Associates of Lodi has been nothing less than amazing to me. From the first appointment to the last, Dr. Liao and staff have remained professional, friendly, informative and honest. They have a way of making you feel at home and ease while in their office. Dr. Liao is punctual, never waited more than two minutes of scheduled appointment to be seen. He is thorough in explanation and will take the time to ensure you not only understand procedure, payment, etc but that you are happy with final results. Lastly, I am beyond happy with my new and improved smile. Thanks for making this journey to a better smile a pleasant one. Job well done

5-star places are for real! I’ve looked into few dental places but get call back from this one and got lucky to get appt the same day. Receptionists were great and easy talk to. And not only that, when I came to office, I was emerged into surreal care and attention, education and advices. Never had that level of service in any other organization. I was treated as VIP. I would say it would be great self care day for anybody and healing at the same time. When I get home I found out more about them - they were nominated as best practice in the area! Reviews don’t lie! I’m super happy and grateful to them, looking forward for future appts!

Dalamu S.

One of my cousin recommended me to get Invisalign at Dental Associates of Lodi, with Dr. Liao, and I’m so happy that I did. I have been extremely happy with my teeth’s results, the hospitality that the staff provided since the beginning till now, and overall the whole Invisalign process. I recommend Dr.Liao to everyone who is looking to change their teeth’s appearance or aren’t satisfied with how they appear.

Kouelee A.

This was by far the best experience I have had at the dentist office. I had tmj and was truly skeptical when I was told to try invisalign to correct it. My invisalign journey started in november and fast forward to april I am done and so happy with the results. Teeth aligned and tmj stopped two weeks in. The office was extremely kind, accommodating and professional. Super clean facility Highly Recommend

I had a really great experience with Dental Associates of Lodi. I started with them initially for Invisalign but ended up switching to them for all my dental services.
