Jack Chen, DDS

Staff was very helpful, since I had to be in and out they let me fill out the paper work before hand. For the cleaning it was $ 50, they take credit card. To top it off they gave floss and a piece of my favorite candy, roca chocolate ! Coming back again.

A friend of mine was looking for a dentist/​orthodontist in MPK and that made me think of Dr.Chen. You see, Dr. C and I go waaaaayyy back. Circa 1998 to be exact! When I was ready to get braces, my parents took me to several clinics to get quotes. My teeth were really really bad. To give you a better idea, I used to have an underbite… Anyhow, we chose this office because he could fix me up without having to pull any of my teeth. Woo hoo!
When I moved to San Diego, I still made a point of visiting Dr. Chen for teeth cleanings and wisdom teeth surgeries. He made me feel uncomfortable even when I’m scared out of my mind. I think that’s important when dealing with someone who has control over your pearly whites.
I leave you with a few words of advice
–Make appointments! He gets very busy especially over the weekends. They’ll try to sneak you in if it is an emergency
–Dr. Chen doesn’t measure your gums like most other places during a teeth cleaning. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, it’s when a dentist uses a somewhat sharp tool to prick along the pockets of gums. While he/​she does this, they call out numbers 4, 3, 2 or 1. I think this type of service can be done upon request.

Been going to Dr. Chen for more than 5 years. He is honest and have great hands!
He is so good that you wont feel much when he gives you the anesthetic shot!
I highly recommend him!

awww! i’ve been coming to this dentist since ’06? now and i absolutely adore him!
Parking: shared parking lot within a plaza. Can get packed on a busy day but I’ve never had to circle around the lot or anything. just keep in mind that you ARE in mpk. hah.
décor: your usual dental office, nothing fancy. they’ve remodeled the place a couple years ago so there’s more than four patient seats inside now and the waiting room is also bigger.
The receptionist isn’t really the friendliest. but then again it might have to do with the fact that she didn’t remind me one year of my appointment and my mom kind of got mad /​: shrugg.
that reminds me… she didnt call me again for my last appointment –_​– (you see, appointments are set 6 months in advance and they usually call. idks. w/​e) they’re usually pretty good with rescheduling and squeezing u in but be prepared to wait!!!
Dr. Chen is a very professional and good dentist, he’s not the type that needs you to go through all the procedures and get things you don’t need. I told him I had a toothache and instead of immediately recommending a root canal he told me to wait it out to see if it’ll get better and it did :)
Give him a try! i doubt you’d regret it! :D

I visited many orthodontist, and all of them said I need to have 4 of my tooths pulled to generate spaces until I found Dr. Chen. He’s been so patience with me and hear me out on my concerns and walks me out of confusions and best of all… I didn’t need any of my tooths pulled and he used a different technique to straighten all my teeth, now that I have a good smile I deserved. I highly recommend this doctor over other doctors that just trying to run you over, and misleading you. Thanks Doc. Chen!

Dr. Chen has been a family friend for many years. I started getting my works done by him when I had my braces done in elementary school. 12+ years later he is still the dentist of choice, but unfortunately too far a drive with the recent gas prices. Price-​wise I’m not sure if the rates are high or not because I don’t really have other dentists’ rates to compare to, but for sure I have him to thank for my beautiful smile!
