Alan Chui, DDS

Dr. Chui and his staff do an excellent job. The office is conveniently located with plenty of parking in front. The staff is friendly and helpful.

I’ve been going to see Dr. Chui for years… ever since early teens. I like that I can get an early 7am appointment before work starts. Everyone at the office is very nice and friendly. They are thorough and work done is generally painless as far as dental procedures go. They have great memories, as they remember things told to them 6 months ago. The office is nice and clean, with all new equipment. I like that they send emails and text messages to remind you of your appointments. Definitely recommend Dr. Chui and his staff.

Alan Chui is the most adorable dentist I have ever met. His sheer enthusiasm and passion for what he does comes through at each and every visit. The staff is super friendly and everyone makes the patients feel comfortable and at ease. This is a wonderful dental office and I would highly recommend Dr. Chui to anyone seeking a new dentist.

This is the place to go for all of your dental needs. My hygenist Kelly is great. Dr Chui is a fantastic dentist. He is quick and the procedures are almost pain free. Even my family members that are reluctant to visit a dentist have had good experiences. I had a crown that came to his office on a Friday and I couldn’t make it down there. He met me on Sunday so I could have my new tooth. Real service. Anyway give the office a try for any dental needs.

Everyone in Dr Chui’s office is always professional and friendly. I’ve been going there for years and feel like we have a friendship as well as a business relationship. The office handles everything promptly and efficiently.

Alan Chui, DDS is the best dentist. Dr. Chui totally exceeded my expectations. His attitude and professionalism is outstanding.

As much as I hate going to the dentist, I’ve been going to Dr. Chui faithfully for years. Today’s extraction was handled promptly and professionally and, shall I add, painlessly. Dr. Chui gets two thumbs up in my book. I won’t be looking for a new dentist anytime soon

I have been going to Dr. Chui for many years. He has taken immaculate care of my teeth, as well as my daughter’s teeth. He answers all my questions thoroughly, and promptly addresses any problems. He has even come in on the weekend for me when I had a problem. His staff is wonderful and warm. The office is gorgeous with lots of natural light and huge windows. I highly recommend Dr. Chui as a dentist!

I am very impressed with Dr. Chui and his staff. They are very professional and gladly answer all my questions. The hygienists have never hurt me (unlike at my previous dentist, where my gums would get stabbed), they are always pleasant, and will suggest ideas on how to improve my home dental care. The front office is accurate (unlike previous where they would over charge me, screw up my appointments, wake me with early phone calls, etc.) Dr. Chui is very kind, calm, and gentle. I believe him to be very honest. He doesn’t push unnecessary work. My previous dentist kept pushing tooth whitening and also tried to scare me into getting an old filling replaced by saying the tooth was decaying. Not so, the filling had darkened but was still intact, and Dr. Chui said it wasn’t necessary to replace the filling unless I wanted to, for cosmetic reasons. Dr. Chui is a GREAT dentist!

I’ve been a patient of Dr Chui for over a decade and his staff have always been professional, friendly and informative. The office is quite new and décor very calming. They want you to have a good experience in what is frankly a stressful time for most people and it shows. My husband and son also go there. There’s no forced upsell of services either. They tell you what you need and give you options and advice but leave it you to decide. I highly recommend them as your dental provider of choice.

We moved here in 2004 and I found a local dentist but really didn’t like him so I started looking around. When I found an excellent orthodontist for my daughter I asked his staff for a referral to a regular dentist. No surprise they said most of them see Dr. Chui. I figured teeth were there business so set up an appointment for myself at Dr. Chui for a cleaning. I was impressed. My experience is the same as other reviewers. I inherited bad teeth and an allergy to Novocaine so i am familiar with painful dental work. even without Novocaine, Dr Chui minimizes the pain of drilling. In spite of my painful experiences, I am not afraid of dentists but my kids were. Now they are not. My family members have used every hygienist there and have found they all do excellent work. I like his conservative approach. He is always very good at explaining the problem and correcting it. When he refers me to a specialist, I know that the doctor he is referring is a quality doctor. I recommend him to everyone I meet.

I have been a patient for a number of years. The entire practice is a pleasure (well, not always) to be with. They are always on time, professional, have a sense of humor and listen. Jennifer is a great hygienist. Dr. Chui is very thorough and explains your options. For those of us who are retired and may not have insurance Dr. Chui’s rates are reasonable.

Dr. Chui is GREAT. He came in on his day off after I broke a tooth. He is an THE example of what it is to be a good person. Very polite and willing to take the time to explain any and all question I had.

Simply Aces. Went to Dr Chui for a second opinion and found Dr Chui and his staff professional, personable and reasonably priced so I signed up on the spot-​despite being fearful of dentists due to past painful experiences. Returned 2 weeks later (he’s busy. no surprise) for a crown and cavity. First off, he numbs the area and actually waits until it takes effect so novacane shot, and rest of work, is pain free! Next, in doing crown work, he decides he does not need to build-​up tooth first and tells me – thus saving money. So, I would add integrity to his attributes. Lastly, he checks gums and puts the «damage» in perspective not trying to fear me into regular teeth cleaning sessions-​still, I sign up for a session. Bottom line, for the first time in years, I’m looking forward to taking excellent care of my teeth. Thanks Dr. Chui… and to your assistant, April, too!

LOVE LOVE LOVE, well as much as you can love your dentist, Dr. Chui and his staff. They are very professional, knowledgable, and caring. The offices are great– very clean and relaxing. Dr. Chui is very mindful of any discomfort and takes great care to make sure you have no discomfort.

My 10 year old son and I have been going to Dr. Chui for years (routine cleaning and a couple of fillings). The office is always friendly, professional and impeccably clean. All the equipment is state of the art technology. I’ve never written a Unilocal review before but was motivated to now by Dr. Chui’s exceptional care. When we were up in the mountains my son took a spill and chipped off a pretty big chunk of one of his 2 front teeth. We were 5 hours away and didn’t want to go to an unknown dentist. I called Dr. Chui’s office who told me exactly what to look for (exposed nerve) so I’d know if we needed to deal with it right away. Luckily there was no nerve showing. But knowing I was a nervous mom, Dr. Chui said he’d stay late that night if I wanted to drive back right then (it was already 3pm and we were 5 hours away). Because there was no imminent threat, we decided to stay in the mountains and come home over the weekend as we had planned. BUT we had to leave on the following Monday for another trip so Dr. Chui came in on the weekend to fix my son’s teeth. He was calm and friendly and did an AMAZING job rebuilding the missing tooth! He took his time, carved all the little grooves to match the tooth next to it and made it so no one can tell the kid ever looked like a professional hockey player! I cannot more highly recommend Dr. Chui for both adults and children!

I would give Dr Chui more then five stars!
When I began my venture with Dr. Chui I was in quite a bad place with my teeth. Long story, my old dentist pulled my second tooth from the front because I had a root canal. Then I had to wait five years to get an implant because I was too young. Then right when I was going to have my implant done he had a stroke :(he brought a different dentist in to do the implant. The new dentist then put the implant in incorrectly. I waited 6 months for it to heal and in that time, that dentist moved back to Seattle and my dentist had another stroke. My aunt referred me to Dr Chui. I went in and he was so kind. He completely understood my situation. He told me a had a few options. I could remove the implant and replace it. I could leave it and live with a flipper. Or I could have gum surgery and keep what I had. I decided to have the surgery. He referred my to a top surgeon in SF. I had the surgery, it healed, and I went to meet a dentist that I was referred to by the surgeon. I met with that dentist and he told me there was nothing he could do to help me and that I was going to have to get the implant removed. With that said I went back to Dr Chui. He them came up with a solution for a permanent tooth. He took lots of impressions and pictures and sent them to the lab. We received the tiny tooth and tried it on. Dr Chui did not like how it looked and sent it back. What an efficient Dr. We got it back two weeks later. He still didn’t think it was perfect so he sent it back. Just recently, I went back in and it fit like a glove!
I cannot begin to tell you have wonderful of an experience I had with Dr chui. He took care of me as if I were his family. He was so detail oriented and wanted to make sure that everything was up to his standards, which were very high. He has wonderful bed-​side manner and was 100% present when I was in his chair. I really cannot thank him enough for making this horrible ordeal of almost 8 years come to an end for me. I was nervous to smile for such a long time but now, thanks to Dr Chui I have my smile back and it’s better than ever!

I love my dentist!
I have been a patient of Dr. Chui’s since he started his practice in Novato. He is a wonderful dentist as well as a nice person.
The staff in his office are the best! Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel at home. A1 Service! Dr. Chui even called me at home to make sure I was feeling okay after my crown appointment.
I highly recommend Dr. Alan Chui!

Dr Chui is an excellent dentist. He explains each procedure in layman’s terms which every patient can understand. He is so efficient and accurate that any procedure seems effortless. April, his assistant, is proficient and knowledgeable. Dr Chui and April work well together. Suping, his dental hygienist, is thorough with the cleaning process. Robin, who is his office manager, is knowledgeable with dental benefits. Claire, his office assistant, is efficient with managing appointments and telephone. Most important, I feel safe, secure and comfortable at Dr. Chui’s office that I can fall asleep in the chair!

LOVE-​HATE RELATIONSHIP
Would love to run into Dr Chui at Peet’s and shoot the breeze. Just don’t love having to see him with a paper napkin chained around my neck. You know how it is. Dental work. Yuk.
But, as far as dentists go, Dr. Chui is a cool guy. He’s more on the conservative side, so won’t jam a bunch of dental work on you unless you need it. He’s more likely to put a «watch» on it to see if you really need the work done.
I recently had 2 cavities filled. (I am one of those poor souls that just has genetically crummy teeth). Dr. Chui works quickly and efficiently. The novocaine injection barely hurt, more of a pinchy feeling, and he got each tooth done, from start to finish, in about 45 minutes. That includes waiting around time to get numbed up.
He has a gentle touch and smallish hands. Doesn’t over power you when he’s in your mouth. He has a lovely chair side manner. Works quietly, nothing worse than a chatty dentist, and is perceptive about if you’re feeling pain.
Overall, I’m a happy paitent.
