Our Testimonials
Other dentists recommended costly procedures but Dr Chao didn’t. He just said to keep doing what I have been and he’ll see me next year! Good hearted and good natured. A pleasure to talk with.
Thank you!
I had an extremely good experience and would recommend Dr. Chao and Garfield Dental Group to anyone. They use the latest technology for diagnosis and treatment, have unparalleled expertise and are all very friendly.
