Throughout my 27 years on earth, I have been rotated to a dozen different dentists and now having been settled in Arcata for several years, I can say without equivocation that Dr. Choi is the best dentist I have ever had. He is incredibly personable and genuine. His passion for his work radiates as he carefully takes the time to not only tend to your dental needs, but to educate you on the procedures he is doing. Every time I leave his office, I feel as if I just got done attending a dental hygiene 101 lecture. His staff seems to share his positivity and everyone who has done some kind of work on me has been very thorough and very friendly. He is a bit on the expensive side but then again, I am not well versed in what a typical dentist costs(particularly if you are without insurance like I am). But to give an example, an exam, a cleaning, and a couple of x-rays cost me $ 267. In any case, this is just one of those things that you feel right about spending a little extra on because the return in quality is very high. So long as I am in Arcata, I will never go to another dentist again.

Had a teeth cleaning appointment at 3pm waited about 10 minutes, they were busy. They are offering 5% off if you pay services in full right now. I have been a patient for this office since 1998. Dr. Bennett was the former dentist at this location. Dr. Choi now occupies his spot, and in my opinion is just as good if not better then Dr. Bennett. I had a crown Dr. Choi put on a few years back, a month or so later Dr. Choi called me back in to redo the crown because the first crown was made of faulty material, and he redid it all for free. He even took me in the back to show me the machine that re creates the tooth(crown), it was very neat to watch, and the whole process is fascinating. I appreciate an excellent dentist like that. They hygienist is also excellent. My teeth look and feel very clean every time I go in for a cleaning. I have had nothing but good experiences with this dentist. Dr. Choi is very personable, pays attention to detail, and is very thorough with his patients. Most dental work is expensive, in general, and his work is on par with the cost, and is worth it. Everything about this place is worth 5 stars. The office/building the staff works in, is in an old, but well kept Victorian structure in Arcata. Every window looks out on a yard of beautiful plants and native vegetation. Its a very relaxing feel for a dentist office. The staff is personable and friendly.

I had a broken root on a crowned molar, the tooth had to be pulled. Dr. Choi carefully and gently removed the tooth in one piece, which is an indication of skill to me. It is not uncommon to have to bisect a molar and dig out the roots, a situation to be avoided if possible. Dr. Choi was straightforward and competent. I have to wonder about some of these other reviews, seems like people really bring a lot of psychological debris into their analysis: Capitalism and Light-skin didn’t have any relevance in my experience. Just had a tooth pulled.

I happened to be at the office, when the below person«Trever» was at the office. «Trever» was acting horrible, as a 3rd party, not the Dr. Dr. Choi is a kind person and a very good dentist. If you read«Trevers» review, he can’t even type correctly, without spazzing out.
