The way that she works, the delicate sort of approach and attentiveness that goes with it, it really
makes a huge difference .
Mary is an incredibly bright and creative dentist. She doesn’t just stay with her dentistry. And she
always is curious about finding technology that make it better and easier. I’ve had many dentists
before and also during this period of 10 years, I’ve tried other dentists that is covered by my
insurance. Obviously, I don’t want to pay extra if I don’t have to. And I kept coming back here even
though, you know, I’m not covered by my insurance. So I know it’s out of pocket for me, but it’s
genuinely because of that, the way that she works, the delicate sort of approach and attentiveness
that goes with it, it really makes a huge difference

I always feel like I’m very welcome here. Very happy!
I asked a colleague and she recommended this place. I came, and I met Dr. Qian. She’s very honest.
When I walk in the door, the first thing I hear is, “Hi, Aaron, how are you? I know the staff, Pegah
is always at the front desk and she’s awesome. I always feel like I’m very welcome here. Very happy!”

Dr Mary Qian did a great job cleaning my teeth and bonding one of my teeth that was missing a small part. Her assistant Pegah was very kind and flexible scheduling for me promptly. Her assistant Hilda also did a great job taking my X rays and working alongside Dr Mary Qian. I recommend new patients to Dr Mary Qian’s office.

Dr. Mary Qian is friendly, smart, and gentle. Her small office and family-like atmosphere are a breath of fresh air. I have seen her for years. She does not intervene with active procedures unless absolutely necessary -- my dentists in the past have always "found" cavities and other things, and it seemed like they were constantly doing unnecessary work. Dr. Qian also has cool in-house technology for fitting and making custom nightguards (upper or bottom teeth)!

Mary and her team helped me with a radicular cyst that required coordinating care of multiple specialists. I could not be happier with the outcome.
