Jade River Dental

Overjoyed to have been able to find such a gem of a dentist in Dr. Curtis Le and his staff! Melody the dental assistant was extremely sweet, gentle, and courteous. The front desk personnel was also very kind and went out of her way to print information for me. Will recommend friends and family to him. Dr. Le is kind, approachable, down to earth and shares dental knowledge and care without gaslighting his patients as some others do. A pleased patient!

I had not seen a dentist for more than a year because my experience with my previous dentist was so unpleasant that I avoided dental visits altogether. I worried that I might meet another dentist who would over diagnose and make me fear conditions that did not actually require concern. I spent a great deal of time researching before choosing a new dentist, much more than I did in the past. After today’s visit, I felt reassured that my efforts were worthwhile because Dr. Le met every expectation I had. I had a morning appointment, and Dr. Le greeted me and my wife at the front counter. This small gesture set a very positive tone for the visit. When it was time to review my X rays, I felt anxious about what he might find. Dr. Le explained that my crown was fine, my fillings were large but stable, and I had no cavities. I felt an immediate sense of relief because his assessment was clear, calm, and free of the alarming tone I experienced with a dentist I saw last year. It is possible that I was hoping to hear good news, but I appreciate a dentist who encourages and educates rather than one who over diagnoses and frightens patients. Dental care is ongoing, so it matters to have someone supportive who will guide my oral health for years to come. One thing that surprised me was that the office does not appear to have hygienists. Dr. Le personally performed the cleaning for both me and my wife. I do not have a strong preference, but for those who like being cleaned directly by the dentist, this is a benefit. He was gentle, calm, and very thorough. It may be early to claim that he is the best dentist in town, but I can confidently say that he was flawless and exceptional throughout the entire visit. I was able to get an appointment fairly easily, which makes me think the office may not be as busy as some others in Elk Grove. Based on my experience, I believe this will change soon because once more people discover Dr. Le, appointments will likely become harder to secure. I truly feel that I have finally found my new dentist since the retirement of Dr. Rabadam. Edit: My wife and I both have Korean names that can be difficult to pronounce, yet Dr. Le said them perfectly. His background as an Asian provider and his time in school in Los Angeles, where there are many Korean students, may have contributed, but it does reflect the level of respect he shows. I truly appreciated that. He did not even pause to check if he was pronouncing them correctly, which made me feel that he knew that he was saying them correctly.
