Dr. Yip was very patient with my daughter, it was her first time. She's 3 years old. She was scared coming in, but left with a smile and happy!

My son has disabilities and I never thought he would be able to have dental wotk without being knocked out. Dr. Yip is great with him, and we had a wonderfully successful visit.

(More) I just can't say enough positive things about Dr. Yip and his staff. Dr. Yip's gentle manner, thoughtfulness, patience, and respect for a parent's opinion, as well as his thorough explanation for treatment reasons are a rare quality and very appreciated. Dr. Yip's staff is absolutely delightful, energetic and great with kids. Dr. Yip and his staff help a child to feel comfortable and at ease, creating a warm, safe and friendly environment that kids want to return to. Dr. Yip offers parents dental treatment options as well as a wide variety of entertainment options including; video games, television, toys, and games. His concern for a child and parent's comfortability is obvious as well as his promotion of preventative treatment and the least intrusive treatments as first priority. The Kids' Dentist now offers, as a routine component, digital x-rays which are 1/3 less radiation. As a parent, I truly appreciate and am thankful to have such a wonderful resource in Dr. Yip who shares my concerns for my child's long term health and well being.

Our family has gone to the Kids' Dentist since our children first started getting dental care. We asked around and everyone kept saying, "Go to Dr. Yip", so we did. WE LOVE IT THERE! Dr. Yip and his staff are very sensitive in working with young kids. Both of our boys (ages 3 and 5) get nervous for things like this, but the staff at the Kids' Dentist know how to make little ones feel at home in the rainforest themed office. The staff know how to use positive child-centered encouragement, stickers and little reward toys to break up the visit into manageable chunks for kids, going from x-ray to cleaning and polishing to the check up and consultation with Dr. Yip. They let your child sit where they are comfortable, whether that is on your lap or in the dental chair. Dr. Yip has even done my younger son's whole exam while my son sat on the back of a large stuffed animal because he knew my son would be just distracted enough by the fun that he would forget to be scared! There is an alcove right off of the area with the dental chairs that has a big screen TV with video games for older kids, as well. Last time we were there, they had just installed a flat screen TV in front of each exam chair which really helped our kids to relax and focus on some cartoons during their cleaning and polishing. The expertise they have in working with kids is very much appreciated, but from an adult perspective, there are many things that I really like about the office. The office is organized and runs very smoothly. When your appointment is for 9:00, you are seen right at 9:00. The front reception room is beautiful, complete with computers with internet access, games for kids, and a bar full of healthy drinks and coffee. But, to be honest, I have never had to spend more than 5 minutes in the waiting room because Dr. Yip is always right on time. They have really come through for us in an emergency, too. When my youngest son chipped his front tooth on his bed's metal guardrail, I called the office and the receptionist told me to come right in, and we were being seen by Dr. Yip within minutes of the incident. If you want your kids to have a great positive experience at the dentist, go to the Kids' Dentist!

Dr. Yip has been a close colleague of mine since 1994 and I have been referring patients to him since 2002. As a referring dentist, I can contest that the parents and the kids that I have referred are greatful to have met him and love to visit his office. He has a special gift when it comes to communicating with kids and their parents. For example several kids I have sent over to Dr. Yip have been fearful of the dentist but after meeting with him they get over their fears, have fun and cannot wait to go back to his office. Dr. Yip likes to take his time with parents to carefully communicate their child's treatment. Furthermore, his skills as a dentist are impeccable and he is always taking continuing education to keep his skills current with the latest techniques and technology. I recommend him exclusively.

I would like to write a testimonial for your website. Marina and Deanna have been just exceptional to work with. My son Sloan adores Marina and talks about her for days after treatment. Deanna has been so extremely helpful in helping me with the insurance and payment portion of my son's treatment plan.
