William Chan, DDS

My husband and I love Dr. Chan. He is very professional, competent and caring doctor. Its a pleasure to be his patient.

I knew I needed a tooth pulled, and other work done, and after I was disappointed by other dentists, I visited Dr. Chan for a consultation for various problems and another for a cleaning. Both appointments were excellent. Dr. Chan made a great effort to make sure I understood what was wrong and how to fix it. The office is beautiful and the staff is the nicest! Very little waiting. He also recommended an excellent specialist with who I couldn’t be happier. I’m very relieved after years of doubt. Thank you, Dr. Chan.

Both my 7 year old and I love Dr. Chan! He is thoughtful, gentle and communicative! I can’t speak highly enough!

best dentist ever… a nyc dentist want to charge me $ 3000 to drill my teeth away… chan said… not to… hes honest and helpful. i have recommended him to many people and they love him … hes not into drilling hes into saving every tooth… i wish i ment him sooner…

Very good experience. Dr Chan is very friendly and seems knowledgeable and competent.
The office seems a little low budget, but I liked the way the rooms open up to a little patio-​garden area.

Dr. Chan and his staff are stellar. Efficient and kind. What more can you ask for? He gave me information for the options I had for my tooth that needed to be extracted and made a temporary in less than minutes. His assistant was right there alongside him — this was definitely not their first rodeo :-) A grea team all around. For as long as I live here in Santa Monica and Los Angeles, Dr. Chan is my dentist of choice.

I had a terrible experience with Dr. Chan. I used to be with Dr. Figoten and somehow my business was sold to Chan. When I asked about this I was never given a clear answer. I was treated terribly by Chan and when I decided to leave, he would not give me my dental records. I had to fight for them. What had once been a good experience with the former owner of the business, Dr. Figoten, turned into a bad one. I would avoid this dentist.

ACTUALLY MAKES YOU ENJOY GOING TO THE DENTIST!
I had a horrible experience elsewhere and a good friend of mine recommended Dr Chan. All of the 5 star reviews below are correct. He is great, his staff is great, nothing hurt and he did a thorough job. I have never liked going to the dentist, but at least now I won’t dread it. He cares about you, not just your teeth and the money he might make from extra services.

Oh Dr. William Chan, where have you been my entire life! I hate going to dentists, however, after getting my teeth cleaned here a few days ago, my thoughts may have changed.
I hate getting my teeth cleaned and I thought it was because of the pain that was involved each time I got it done. I realized that it had to do with the person and not the process itself. He made it so pleasant that I experience 0 pain and 0 discomfort, was a piece of cake. Obviously his skills are A+++.
Most importantly, he looks honest, is honest and was honest. I can appreciate that and def earns my respect. My bf went in the afternoon immediately after I told him Dr. Chan was bomb.
And, I just got my friend to go as well who was looking for a dentist FOREVER!
Thanks for the pleasant experience, now I can get my teeth cleaned more often as I don’t dread the experience.

Dr Chan (see his other great reviews under Figoten) is an extraordinary dentist. He is very carefully during his examination; takes his time to explain everything. He does his own cleanings which are very thorough, and he really cleans up your problem areas. The cleanings never feel rushed and he lets you watch a movie on a headset! He, with the help of his great assistants, ALWAYS see you on time! Such a rarity for a dentist or medical doctor. And a big plus… he’s just a a really nice guy all around. I could not recommend him more highly.

Dr Chan DOES deserve his own page. He is such a nice person, calm and unhurried. he has a good sense of humor, too and will answer all your questions about dental issues. My past dentist retired a couple of years ago, and it took me this long to find a great, great dentist as Dr, Chan. one problem, even tho I have PPO insurance I guess my insurance sucks because I got a bill for close to 1,000 dollars that I was not expecting. if you can afford it, go here. I just got back from my insurance «preferred provider» and the teeth cleaning was brutal :(. I am so sad that I cant see Dr Chan as I approach 55 years old and need proper teeth maintenance :(

Dr. Chan has gotten great reviews under the name of his colleague, Dr. Shelton Figoten, but deserves his own page. He is as kind and gentle as my long-​ago pediatric dentist, whose work another dentist has yet to emulate. Until Dr. Chan. His front office (Josie and Mary) are personable, helpful, and supportive. I’ve never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen. There is a hygienist in the office, but Dr. Chan also cleans teeth and is gentle and thorough. With my sensitive gums and aging teeth, that matters greatly to me.
Give him a try. You won’t regret it!
