Lau Kanson Kwok, DDS

Dr. Lau was recommended by 2 of my friends. Both of them, like me, are «afraid» of going to the dentists. They were spot on: Dr. Lau is very nice, professional and gentle. He clearly explains what will be done before he starts working on you. I’m still a bit nervous going to a dental appointment, but Dr. Lau has eased my anxiety to a huge extent!

I’m a fairly new patient and am so glad my co-​worker recommended this dentist. Dr. Lau is nice, professional and prompt on time. His staff is super friendly and helpful as well.

Recently went into Dr. Lau’s office for the first time based on the reviews here. I must say, they all live up to their rating. Fantastic and professional service. I was very pleased with the work done. Will definitely be coming back.

Have been Dr. Lau’s patient for more than 10 years. He really takes good care of his patient. I’m very satisfied for placing a bridge on me. Highly recommend.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Lau’s for over 6 years and have been consistently pleased with the standard of care and professionalism he exudes. I initially came to him when my regular dentist was out of town and he performed an emergency root canal. After being misdiagnosed and in pain for over a year by my former dentist, Dr. Lau found my problem in one visit and provided such compassionate and top notch care. I remember he even called me personally to check in on me after the root canal– a rare act in this day and age!
Every visit since then has been efficient. He is consistently kind, extremely thorough in his exam and cleaning and very gentle-​the cleaning is never uncomfortable and he always checks in to make sure I’m tolerating everything ok. Another bonus, he is extremely punctual and always starts and finishes on time. I have such confidence in Dr. Lau that my school aged daughters are now patients and I have also referred co-​workers.
As a health care worker myself, I know how important it is to experience quality service and I have found that in Dr. Lau and his office.

I have been going to Dr. Lau for over 4yrs and he has been amazing. He is very careful and gentle in his work and very informative. Tracy at the front desk is always polite and friendly when entering the office. Great dentist, great front office, great everything. If you want a smile worth a million bucks, then go see Dr. Lau and tell Tracy I sent you.

Dr. Lau is by far the best dentist in Foster City in my opinion. I had asked a co-​worker for a name of a good dentist in Foster City a few years back as I was looking to switch from our current dentist at the time. My first appointment in his office was a great one and I knew I had found my new dentist. The courtesy through the entire process is great! The staff is amazing and Dr. Lau explains everything in detail as you go along through your service. Also, if you need to have any numbing done, he has the best technique so that you barely even feel the needle! That is huge as dental work is never fun. I really like that my appointments are always confirmed for me via email as a little reminder in case I had forgotten it was coming. Any questions I have ever asked through email have been answered right away. I have referred several people from my office to Dr. Lau and will continue to do so. Thank you so much Dr. Lau and staff for your wonderful service that makes me feel at home.

Dr. Lau is the best! He has been my dentist for more than 10 years. His skill is good and also very gentle with kids. My entire family (5 years old and 9 years old) both like him and we never have issue taking my kids to the «dentist». Also, he opens on Sat which makes things easier because I live in South Bay and usually can’t make weekdays due to traffic. His office is clean and he is highly recommended! Cheers, Allen

Treat yourself and your mouth to the best dentist. I have been a patient of Dr. Lau for almost 10 years. I see him twice a year for cleaning and I always look forward to my appointments with him and his staff. Dr. Lau is always on time and never once do I have to wait more than 2 mins for him. Before he begins, he applies Vaseline on my lips to keep them moisturized during the cleaning, he offers me a pair of sun glasses so that my eyes won’t hurt staring at the exam light (you can always bring your own pair but sometimes I forget). His bed side manner is calm and gentle. His work is thorough and detail and Painless! He is fluent in speaking English, Cantonese and Mandarin. His staff is equally professional. I always feel welcome in this office. Tracy is kind and always helpful. His assistants are friendly and top notch. I have referred family, friends and coworkers to see Dr. Lau and all I hear were praises about how much they love Dr. Lau and his staff. Because of his gentle manner, kids especially are not afraid of him and they feel very comfortable. My goddaughter started seeing Dr. Lau when she was just 5 years old and she never cried once. Go see Dr. Lau and his staff if you are looking for an outstanding dentist in the area and enjoy an oral spa treatment! There is a big parking lot behind the office building so parking is never a problem. Pssss… Dr. Lau is also quite a handsome guy…

I started coming to Dr. Lau in 2011 when I started a new job in Foster City. He was recommended by my orthodontist. I now live and work in San Francisco but I still make the trek down here twice a year to see Dr. Lau because I can’t imagine going to anyone else. He is very thorough in his examinations, takes interest not only in your oral health but also in your life and family. He always takes time to explain all my questions and doesn’t push to do any procedures that are not absolutely necessary, often suggesting that we monitor and assess as time goes on. It’s hard to find a dentist you trust and like, and I’m happy I’ve found Dr. Lau. And special shout out to Tracy at the front desk. She’s the best!

My whole family has been seeing Dr. Lau for many years. Dr. Lau is gentle when performing procedures that you won’t even feel any pain. Thank you Dr. Lau for giving us great smiles.

My friend recommended Dr. Lau to me, he was experienced and professional. The office looked very clean and make me felt comfortable when I visited every time. The staffs were friendly; always accommodated to what I needed. I had a wonderful teeth cleaning experience with him. He also offered advice when I asked him questions. He can be the beat dentists in town, I definitely will recommend my friends to him.

Dr. Lau deserves a ⁵⁄₅ star rating. He is one of the most caring dentists I have ever been to. I needed an emergency appointment for this morning and Dr. Lau was able to make an accommodation to see me.
Every time I come in for an appointment I always receive a warm greeting from the front desk and professionalism at it’s finest. I am very appreciative of all the hard work Dr. Kau has done for my family and will continue to come here as long as I have teeth.

I usually have my dental appointment with Dr. Lau at 9am in the morning during weekdays. I live in Fremont and need to beat all the traffic and drive all the way to Foster City. I think this says it all, if his service were not a true 5-​star, I wouldn’t be doing this for 10+ years.
People usually are afraid of seeing a dentist, because more often than not, it is a painful experience (ironically you go see a dentist because you want to avoid the pain). But that’s not the case with Dr. Lau. For example, when he needs to give you a shot locally to numb the gums for a procedure, he will gently shake your cheek to minimize the pain and during the procedure, he keeps asking whether the chair position is comfortable or if you are doing OK. It’s small things like this that makes him a great dentist.
There are times when either me or any of my family members that need urgent dental care, Dr. Lau tries his best to accommodate, even if it’s past office hours.
Also, making appointment with him is easy, his staff will send you a reminder 1 month ahead of time and will get in touch with you when that day is near, for a busy (and forgetful) person like me, this make sure that I didn’t miss any appointment.

Our family had been seeing Dr. Lau for a decade already and we are very happy that we still receive the same excellent service from the entire staff as we had since day 1.

My husband recommended dr kwok. He seems nice, the office is nice and clean, his front desk person is nice. The issue I had is with his hygienist… at several visits she kept cramming that suction thing in the back of my mouth and it was making me gag. I politely nudged her arm away, mumbled to her to please stop, tried turning my head away… nothing worked. It felt like she was not paying any attention. I have since switched dentist and have not had that problem. My husband loves him so it may just be me!

I am so glad I was referred to Dr Lau. They make the whole experience – from receiving in the waiting area, to the treatment time – a pleasant experience. The office staff are so considerate and accommodating. They went above and beyond, in getting me to another facility (for a root canal), so I could be relieved of significant discomfort as quickly as possible, I am confident in Dr Lau’s professional care and am impressed with the effort they all give for a relaxed and friendly environment.

I was referred to Dr. Kanson by one of my Bay Area friends when I first moved here and I am grateful! Dr. Kanson is extremely detail oriented, and his work is top notch.
Detail orientation: Dr. Kanson is so considerate, that when you are having work done, he has sunglasses ready to shield you from the bright lights. In addition, he always puts vaseline on your lips so they don’t get chapped. These may not seem like a big deal, but having visited a lot of dentists, there are quite a few that don’t get that the little things matter. Dr. K explains everything clearly so you know exactly what is going to happen and when. From a detail orientation perspective, his staff also reflects his commitment o quality and attention to detail. Tracy, the receptionist, literally takes all the thinking out of the process. She is one of those people that «makes things work» so you don’t have to worry about it; from the scheduling, to the insurance forms, to what you need to bring and when, Tracy is on top of all the details and makes seeing Dr. K a breeze.
Top Notch Work: I’ve had everything done from basic fillings, to teeth whitening, to repairing a tooth that I chipped when I bit down on a fork like an idiot. Dr. Kanson uses all state-​of-​the-​art equipment to do his work (e.g., low exposure x-​ray machines), and I have yet to have a procedure done that didn’t come out perfectly.
I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Kanson. He is a professional and I am grateful that he is my dentist. I’m sure you will be pleased if you choose him as well.

Dr. Lau has truly exceptional skills. After a couple of visits, I’ve built trust with him. I’m very satisfied with all my visits. Besides, he will schedule plans carefully according to your insurance budget. The lab environment is clean and peaceful. I’ve never enjoyed visiting dentist so much. I feel so fortunate to meet Dr.Lau.

I’ve been searching for a new dentist for a while + was about to be ripped off by another spot in SF [All Smiles Dental — thieves] until I discovered Dr. Lau.
He + his staff are so professional and nice that it makes going to the dentist a breeze. He’s great to chat w/​and makes things as painless as possible. I recently recommended a friend here + he said the same.
Not going anywhere else for teeth work again — EVER!
