Palm View Dental: Karen Ho, DDS

Hands down the best dental office that I’ve ever been to. Dr. Karen Ho is very professional and passionate about her work. I appreciate the staff especially Beryl for making me feel comfortable and at ease. Overall it was truly above and beyond my expectations. Thank you Palm view Dental.

I get so nervous when I go to the dentist especially since I have a bad time with x rays but when Nayelly attended me she was so friendly and helped me feel more comfortable. There’s not a lot of people that can be gentle when it comes to x rays but she definitely was. And I thanked her for her patience. Also I loved how thorough Dr. Oh was w my exam and cleaning. She left my mouth feeling much better and clean. Would definitely keep coming here!

This place is amazing. I had real bad pain on one of my tooth had to take care of a emergency root canal and they took me in on last minute request. Also they are open some Sunday’s of the month, that its self saved me from having to feel pain for a whole day. I’m back tomorrow to finish the process but the pain is now gone. Awesome team here at this place really satisfied.

All in all, the clinic’s hospitality was warmer than in other clinics I have been to. I had two of my wisdom teeth taken out and was operated on by a Dr. Oh and Dental Assistant Nayelly (might have spelled the name wrong). The operation was surprisingly efficient and the workers’ ability to quell any and all negative preconceptions of mine about the procedure was reassuring. I definitely recommend this clinic to anyone who wants an efficient, effective, and friendly procedure on their teeth.

Dr Jin is knowledgeable and so detail on my teeth clean experience.
Special thanks for Kitty for her patient.
I like them all.

I recently got dental insurance again after a year or so of not having been to the dentist and I wanted to find a dentist closer to home. After reading reviews, I decided to visit Dr. Karen Ho on a limb and I’m so glad I did. I’ve had two appointments so far and I’ve had positive experiences with Dr. Ho and her staff both times. During my first appointment, the dental hygienist cleaned my teeth thoroughly and provided helpful advice on how to maintain it. Additionally during my examination, Dr. Ho offered suggestions on procedures to consider but did not push them on me and instead gave me the information I needed to make a decision on my own time. I recently went for a filling and like other reviewers have mentioned, Dr. Ho is extremely gentle and I did not feel any pain. I appreciated the fact that she identified a potential cavity but because it was so small, she informed me that she would monitor it before suggesting that I pay for another filling. I will definitely be returning for future appointments.

Dr Karen Ho was really nice and caring. She explained all the details and worked overtime for me. The staff are really friendly as well and the place is new and clean. Most importantly, the pricing is very reasonable if you don’t have an insurance! Highly recommended!

I must say, they are so nice and patient with me. Dr Jin is very professional and nice, and the assistant Beryl
is super nice, I was super nervous and she hold my hands for the whole time during the cleaning. After that the receptionist Cathy was also very nice to explain me everything. I seldom put any review on Unilocal,but I want to give them a five star. For my first visit, they do general teeth cleaning and x ray for $ 75.

Excellent dentists.
After experiencing some sensitivity in a tooth, I knew I had to see a dentist and booked an appointment with Palm View due to the excellent reviews here. My initial exam was with Dr. Karen Ho and my follow up was with Dr. Oh. Both are soft spoken and have good teeth (yes, that’s important to me when I see a dentist). The office is modern and clean and the staff overall was very polite and professional. Dr. Oh is excellent at what she does and is very efficient. I will definitely come back here for future appointments. Highly recommend.
For other reviewers here, please do not use the word «gentle» to describe any dentist. There’s nothing gentle about needles going into your gum and the smell of something burning while your teeth is getting drilled.

I’ve been with Dr. Karen for over ten years, and although her practice has gotten bigger and better, she’s still the same person… sweet, kind and gentle. Although I have moved further away from her practice, my family and I still go back to her practice for dental care, that’s because I trust her, I know she has our best interest at heart. Her staff is super nice, professional and accommodating.
Only gripe, more of an annoyance is their reminder system which is computerized and sends multiple reminder for our appointments (text, email, text, call… in that order) don’t worry la… I will definitely be there Dr. Karen, you’re my favorite dentist!

Dr. Karen Ho is one of the best dentists that I have ever seen! She is very good at her work, very professional. She always maintains a very high standard for her work.
Besides, she really cares about her patients! For example, a few years ago, my tooth needed a crown. The crown manufactured by the factory was very slightly larger. Without any hesitations, she sent the crown back to the factory and got a new one for me.
I have been seen Dr. Ho for many years. I completely trust her, and am very confident to get the best dental work from Dr. Karen Ho.
All the other staff at Palm View Dental are very friendly and helpful! I always have great experience whenever I visit there! I highly recommend Palm View Dental!

I want to update my review now that I have visited Palm View Dental for a dental procedure besides an exam and cleaning.
I had a filling done and it cost me $ 130.00 (I don’t have dental insurance). My dentist was Min Hee Oh and just like the first time she was gentle, kind, and professional. Dr. Oh’s dental assistant placed a q-​tip with numbing gel on my gum for about three (3) minutes and then Dr. Oh numbed the gum with anesthesia. The injection did not hurt and I barely felt it. The procedure took about ten (10) minutes post-​anesthesia. Super quick! I felt taken care of the entire time.
I got the name of the wonderful woman who assisted me last time during my mini-​meeting for coverage and plan of care — Jane. I met with her again to pay and answer any questions I had. She is sweet and you won’t feel rushed.
Thank you again, ladies of Palm View Dental! I had another great experience and will be coming back.

Dr. Ho and her staff are very professional, knowledgeable, and nice. Both the front and back offices are super clean; in fact, they are the cleanest I have seen of any office.
I wish I live closer so Dr. Ho can be my regular family dentist. She is super nice and caring. Thanks Dr Ho for taking care of my son!

Excellent price and service. Finding a good dentist is like finding a good mechanic. You will never leave their office with the feeling that they tried to up sell you. Trustworthy with a clean and calm autmosphere .They do not rush the process and she listens to your concerns also.

I drive from San Diego to see Dr. Ho. Their waiting room is comfortable and when they say your appointment is at 3:20pm, they call your name promptly at 3:20pm which I appreciate. They will also email you a week or two prior to your appointment to remind you.
My dental hygienist, Joy, was great. She gave me sunglasses so the light wasn’t blinding me. My teeth felt thoroughly cleaned. Dr. Ho is super nice.
I’ve never had any insurance issues.
I sometimes think about getting a dentist in SD so it would be more convenient, but I like Dr. Ho and her team too much.

I’ve been with Palm View dental for several years now (three or four?), when Dr. Ho still had her office in Monterey Park. It’s very nice to see her practice grow since the office does great work as a dental practice. I’ve relocated to the Bay Area for grad school, but I still make my semi-​annual dentist appointments at Palm View dental whenever I visit my parents in MPK since I don’t want to go anywhere else.
The office is clean, welcoming, and everyone is very friendly. I have no preference for either Dr. Oh or Dr. Ho since I think they’re both knowledgeable and very nice and friendly. They always answer my questions patiently whenever I need to ask something. I take pretty good care of my teeth, so the actual time I interact with them is usually less than 5 minutes. Most of my visit time is spent with the hygienist, who is gentle and tries to make my visit as comfortable as possible. Since all I need during my visits are cleanings, I usually spent 30 minutes in the office if I arrive in for my appointment. Quick and stress-​free.
I love that the office sends out reminders through phone calls/​voicemails as well as through email, and the email makes it easy to sync with Google/​Apple calendars too! Super convenient. There’s plenty of parking in the back and on the street. You get a goodie bag with a toothbrush and small floss after your visit.

Very nice and clean atmosphere.
I got a routine cleaning I was over due for and Dr. Karen was amazing! Gentle hands and left my semi yellowish smile perfectly white! Amazing you must try– remember you only get one set of chompers! She’s very thorough and will explain exactly what she’s doing at every step of the way, until today I actually look forward to my next appointment with her. She deserves 10 stars!

I’ve been coming here since 2011 and the level of professionalism and consistency that Dr. Karen Ho and her staff provides is amazing. I usually communicate with June (front-​desk admin person) before all my appointments and she makes sure everything goes smoothly with routine calendar and text reminders. I’ve also had a few issues regarding my insurance in the past and June has gone above and beyond to rectify all issues to ensure that I have a positive experience.
As for Dr. Ho herself, she is a true professional that will explain everything thoroughly so you know exactly what is going on with your teeth. She will give you every option available so you can make an informed decision without being too pushy about it. I had a crown procedure recently and her work was tremendous as well. It was a near 90 minute procedure and I did not feel any discomfort at all throughout the entirety. I’ve been to many dentists and can say that her work is near flawless.
The only negative I can think of is how busy this office gets. Attempting to see Dr. Ho on a Saturday without an appointment becomes extremely difficult. So if you have urgent dental work that needs to be done and can only make it during the weekend, you may have a tough time. Anything with an appointment in advanced is usually smooth without issue though. Overall, I highly recommend her and will probably stick with her as my primary dentist for the foreseeable future.

Dr ho is great! I’ve been through lots of dentists and she is the best! She is patient, fast, and her office tells you the price and insurance coverage before the dental treatment is executed! The office is clean and staff is friendly. The staff update patients if the dentists are late, love this place! I’ve been referring to friends and they love it too!

Dr. Ho and Dr. Oh are the most patient, kind, and caring dentists I’ve ever encountered in my life.
After having an awful experience at my previous dentist back in San Francisco, I moved down to Los Angeles and found Dr. Ho through Unilocal.I scheduled my first cleaning, which went smoothly, was done professionally with new equipment, and quickly (but not «quick» where they were cutting corners or making me feel uncomfortable.) I was hooked, and enthusiastically scheduled in my next cleaning.
Every time I come, there is always consistency with their work. Palm View’s hygienists always make me feel comfortable, even when I have to take x-​rays (which is the most uncomfortable part for me!)
After Dr. Oh joined the Palm View Dental workforce, I have always scheduled my dental appointments with her – not that it matters, because I would see Dr. Oh OR Dr. Ho without any hesitations whatsoever. I recently had a filling in one of my front teeth (because there was this itty bitty gap in the front, and I was terrified of getting a cavity), and they made the experience so comfortable (including the part where they stick a needle in your gum to numb the crap out of it.)
I highly, highly recommend Dr. Oh and Dr. Ho – and all of the friendly, helpful staff at Palm View! Plus, they send you birthday text messages wishing you a happy birthday. what kind of office does that?! SCORE!
