I recently visited Kindred Dentistry and had an exceptional experience with Dr. Chen and the entire team. From the moment I walked in, they prioritized my comfort and went above and beyond to make me feel at ease. Dr. Chen was incredibly patient and attentive, taking the time to thoroughly explain everything and answer all of my questions. The entire staff was friendly, and the environment was calm and welcoming, which made a huge difference for someone like me who usually feels anxious about dental visits. Dr. Chen’s gentle approach and genuine care made the appointment surprisingly enjoyable. I highly recommend Kindred Dentistry and Dr. Chen for anyone looking for a compassionate and professional dental experience!

I rarely write reviews, but my experience with Dr. Chen at Kindred Dentistry kind of warrants one. Dr. Chen is hands down the best dentist I've had. Clearly very skilled— she’s also genuine, honest, and compassionate. What stood out most to me, especially after having less-than-great experiences elsewhere, was her integrity. Unlike other practices that seemed often focused on upselling unnecessary treatments, Dr. Chen was refreshingly honest about what was actually needed. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I felt comfortable and informed at every step.

Best dentist I have ever been to. Everyone who works here is compassionate, knowledgeable and communicative. I feel heard and cared for every time I come in the office. I needed extensive work done and was absolutely terrified after many years of bad dental work, but Dr Chen and her staff made the experience as comfortable as it could have been. So appreciative of this office!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Chen for about two years now and I can’t say enough good things about her and her team! The patient care is always attentive - they really go out of their way to make sure you’re comfortable and fully understand any treatment you’re receiving. What I really appreciate is Dr. Chen’s thoughtful approach. I’ve come across some dentists in the past who can be overly aggressive with treatment plans but she takes the time to monitor any issues and only recommends procedures when truly necessary. It doesn’t feel like treatments are recommended to make money but rather assessed as genuine care for your dental health.

Finding a dentist who is not only extremely skilled and excellent at their job but who is also focused on your goals and doing the right thing for you is really hard to find. Look no further. It took me 5 years to find a dentist in Los Angeles that I love and trust and I am beyond grateful to have found Kindred Dentistry. Dr. Chen’s attention to detail, compassion and care is very impressive. Dr. Chen and her staff are friendly, kind and professional which is so helpful if you have any nerves about dental work. They really care about what they are doing and creating a calm and caring environment for their patients. I went in for an annual cleaning and two different appointments to fix issues and every single appointment I was thrilled with the care, work and result. I can’t say enough good things which I believe is rare in the dental industry! Go see Dr. Chen and her staff if you have the chance.

Hands down the best dentist I've ever had. Never going anywhere else. Dr. Chen is so patient and friendly and not just trying to rush through the appointment. The office also is so pretty and fancy too! I've been searching for a good dentist in the area for the past couple years and now I've found her!!

Robin Z.

I’m always apprehensive going to a new dentist. And having been to many dentists over my 70 years, I’ve seen the full range from excellent to beyond incompetence. Dr Chen at Kindred ranks up with the best in my experience. She is gentle but goes right to work with exceptionally dedicated skill. She explains everything carefully and answers questions to ease your concerns. It’s clear she not only does precision dentistry, but takes pride in her work and truly cares about her patients. I highly recommend her. And as I pleasantly discovered, you will have your expectations exceeded by this remarkable professional.
