2007-07-14 10:29:22   RUN FAR, FAR AWAY. This is the worst dentist I have ever been to. I originally went to them as a new patient just for a cleaning. When I went in, they told me I needed a root canal AND had 13 cavities that had to be filled immediately. My parents believed this to be ridiculous, so I went back to my old dentist. He looked at the same exact x-ray as these guys and said that not only did I NOT need a root canal, but I only had 4 cavities that needed to be filled over the next 6 months. He couldn't find any trace of the other cavities. I would never go back to this Dental Practice, and I recommend the same to you. —Kellie

2008-01-18 22:18:01   I have been a patient of Dr Hung for almost two years she is great. The office staff are friendly and very helpful. Dr Hung takes the time to explain any concerns she is having or any questions I might ask . I never feel like she is rushing for the next patient. That is great! This office recieves an "A "from me.- Jose (Pepe)

2008-01-24 08:53:19   Having seen a number of dentists over the years, I have experienced all the ups and downs, believe me. After being a patient of Dr.Hung for 1-2 years, I am extremely happy. She is always concerned about my comfort and keeps pains at a minimum. I have rarely seen a dentist so dedicated and thorough. I can highly recommend her and her practice. What particularly impressed me was one situation where she was not 100% sure about a diagnose and consulted with the other dentist in front of me (the patient). This shows high-level professionalism and particularly that she is not guided by issues and attitudes (like some other dentists) but instead her goal is only to do what is good for the patient. The front desk support is friendly and reliable, too, in respect to flexible scheduling as well as billing. Here you are a name and not a number. Providing the quality remains unchanged, I will be a faithful patient here for a very long time. —Tobi

2008-01-28 09:09:35   I am not sure of other patients' experiences, but I have been with Dr. Hung for a couple of years and have not been told I have 13 cavities or a need for a root canal. Her diagnosis of my teeth have been sound in my opinion. I have admittedly weak teeth and have only had the need for a couple of fillings with Dr. Hung. Furthermore, she has shown the utmost care for the well-being of my teeth. Barring the fact that she doesn't have available any laughing gas for those of us who dislike the thought of dental work, I recommend Dr. Hung. —Anthony

2008-01-28 14:40:42   DON'T RUN - RELAX AND GET HEALTHY. Dr Hung is a great dentist. She is very gentle and walks you through every detail of the care she thinks is appropriate for you. If you don't or can't have it all done, then she will take care only of the teeth you want done. + the secretary and Dr Hung will check everything with the insurance and tell you exactly what is covered. When I go there, I could almost take a nap. Everybody is nice. It's the best dentist experience I have had. Annabelle —Annabelle

2008-01-29 13:52:10   I saw Dr. Hung yesterday and was reminded of how wonderful she is! We started seeing her a year ago when my then-8 year old had a dental emergency. My child had previous negative experiences with a dentist and was very nervous when we went in. Dr. Hung was amazing. She was kind, gentle, and told my child everything she was doing. After seeing how well she handled my child's situation, I made appointments for our entire family. It has been a long time since I'd seen a dentist due to dentist-phobia and Dr. Hung was incredibly patient and kind with me. She goes slowly when I need her to, keeps me informed of what she's doing, and takes great care to be sure I am comfortable. Her office staff and dental hygienists are equally wonderful. I would highly recommend Dr. Hung to anyone, particularly those who are nervous about seeing a dentist. —JBD

2008-02-09 09:39:09   I have been a patient of doctor Huang’s for the past couple of years. Every time I go in for either a cleaning or a larger procedure she has been kind, professional and very gentle. When I come into the office the doctors and staff makes me feel at home. They are all very knowledgeable and know exactly what needs to be done. Her expertise is evident in everything she does. I feel as though she deeply cares about the health and wellbeing of her patients and does all she can to provide the best care possible. I think that few people can say that they actually look forward to going to the dentist, but in my case this is entirely true. —Ligia

2008-02-20 00:40:52   I've been a patient of Dr. Hung for the past three years. I go to her for my bi-annual teeth cleaning and the services I've received are excellent. I highly recommended to anyone who is searching for a good dentist. —Cannic

2008-04-17 14:12:57   Dr. Hung was incredibly gentle, and kept me totally informed of what she was doing. I had chipped a piece of my tooth, and she pulled the chipped part out without charging me anything more than a normal dental evaluation. I definitely recommend her! —Puja

2008-04-30 10:44:17   I was very worried when I first went in since I haven't seen a dentist in years, but from the moment I walked into the office, I felt very calm and my anxiety diminished. The desk staff were very helpful, especially with questions about paperwork and insurance. Dr. Hung was incredibly professional and personable. She made sure I understood each procedure and that I was comfortable with them. She even helped me plan out the rest of the year so I don't have to pay too much out of my own pocket. I definitely recommend this office to anyone, especially to students on SHIP. I will most definitely stay with this dentist for the remainder of my college years. —hannah.lee

2008-05-14 16:48:09   Dr. Hung is so great. Today I met her for cleaning and annual exam. She found several cavities but she said I need only one cavaty that had to be filled immediately. Front desk people explained me how much will be covered on my insurance. She is very nice to explain everything. She explained how to maintain my teeth in good condition. She is very patinet, nice and professional.I would highly recommned her to my friends and to you! You should meet her then you can understand what I am saying! —choko81

2008-12-18 16:35:02   On December 9, 2008 I was a patient of Arina Hung DDS of Sycamore Lane Dental Care,I was absolutely astounded by the things that happened: 1)The consummate professionalism based upon demonstrated high levels of acquired knowledge and the ability to share relevant information to her patient in an informative and appropriate manner; 2) when she touched me to tell me something, she touch me with kindness; and 3)her staff followed suit in their professionalism and kindness. I got a tooth filled and doctor Hung made sure that the tooth was perfectly drilled, filled and in line with the other teeth(bite placement) when she finished. I have been going to dentists for over 40 years, this is the best service that I have ever recieved—it astoundingly exceeded my expectations! I actually look forward to my next visit. YES! I SAY IN ALL CANDOR IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE TREAT TO GO TO A DENTISTS OFFICE! Arina Hung DDS is the best ever! It was a genuine pleasure! Chet777. —Chet777

2009-06-05 15:21:07   This is the best dentist I've ever met. Dr. Hung is incredibly professional, patient and graceful. She always cares about his patients and makes them feel at home. I had a root canal, tooth clean and crown under her and Dr.Farahyar treatment and she always asks me how I feel and keeps the pains minimum during the treatment. She is extremely dedicated and knowledgeable. She explains every details of what needs to be done and make sure I know the best of my teeth and she is taking care of my teeth. She did the crown so carefully and patiently that she makes sure the crown fits perfect in line with the other teeth. She polished the crown at least ten times to just make sure I feel extremely comfortable with the crow to put in. She also suggests what needs to be done immediately and what is not that urgent if you have multiple problems with your teeth (like me) and can't afford to have them all done at once. She and the front desk also plan the schedule for you for rest of year and next year so you can use the maximum of your SHIP insurance and saves your money. Dr. Hung takes the time to explain any concerns she is having or any questions I might ask and suggests how to keep my teeth in good condition. I feel she really deeply cares about the health of her patients and provides the only care which is the best for her patients. Her office staff and dental hygienists are also very friendly and kind. I highly recommend this office. It was a truly pleasure. —songroad

2009-07-21 15:38:32   I'm not sure what Kellie is talking about but I have been going to Dr. Hung and Dr. Farahyar for 4 years. I have been blessed with perfectly healthy teeth, so I have never needed any dental work past a cleaning. I started going to Dr. Hung after my then dentist told me I needed 18 veneers to "save my teeth." So I decided it was time for a change and thought I'd try my husband's dentist Dr. Farahyar. I was seen by Dr. Hung and she was FABULOUS. She was nice and put me at ease. She told me my teeth were perfectly fine and I did not need anything other than a routine cleaning. I have been going back since and in fact saw her today. So DON'T RUN FROM DR. HUNG. She's a wonderful dentist with a great bedside manner. I highly recommend her. —olgalidias
