Herman Hu, DDS

Never again. Bad looks, appearance. Receptionist is unpleasant too, thought it might be his wife or something. It’s not just the dental service/​profession, what that man/​woman looks like is just as important. Creepy should not be the operative word coming into your mind once you open your mouth for works or examination. After patients are done with, he has this habit of going to the back somewhere and begin practicing on dummy teeth. If I was a dummy I wouldn’t mind lying down on the retractable couch. Like any business, how a professional looks like, talks, generally behave, all factors are taken into consideration.

Dr. Herman Hu is great. He told me my current situation and what needs to be done, which is like any other doctor, BUT, to me, he goes the extra step. After your procedure, he’ll have 3 to 4 extra check ups. Normally, the doctors tell us to come back for a follow up once, but since this is a painful procedure.
During the procedure, Dr. Hu knows what he’s doing, he works the most quick and efficient way. He sure is one of a kind. I would definitely recommend him for gum surgery.

My dentist sent me to Dr. Hu, and I am
very pleased with the surgery and
his follow up. After reading other
reviews not sure why the bad comments.

I don’t get the bad reviews???
Dr. Hu speaks a bit like Mr. Mackey from South Park. … OK? That doesn’t mean that he’s being rude or condesending. It’s just the way he talks,… got it?
I hesitated to go to him after I read the Unilocal reviews, but since my dentist recomended him for this procedure, I took the plunge. Good thing too.
Thanks for the great work Doc.

If you have been dreading gum surgery, Dr. Hu is your guy. I put this off for 2 years! When I met Dr. Hu for the consultation, I felt like this could be be just fine and it was. He is kind, careful to explain and answer all questions. During the actual surgery, all was done efficiently, with frequent explanations and check-​ins as to my comfort level. Dr. Hu and his assistant clearly have worked together for a long time, no movement wasted. Pain control post operation could not have been better. Dr. Hu answers your call himself, immediately… no going through an answering service. Post-​procedure visits are thorough. 5 stars for Dr. Hu and his team!

If I could give a –5 stars, I would. A few months ago, I went to Dr. Hu for a gum grafting surgery. My general dentist recommended him to me. I did a search for his reviews on Unilocal.I wish I have listened to the negative reviews, but instead, I chose to trust my dentist whom I had been seeing for years. Big mistake!
Dr. Hu didn’t bother to take pre-​op and post-​op pictures for record-​keeping. He was very condescending during the pre-​op consultation. I let him operated on me anyway.
The result was horrific to say the less. He operated on me for the second time a few weeks later, which he called it «touch-​up», intending to fix the problem. Both surgeries left visible excessive, scaring tissues. He blamed the result on my insisting to have dressing to cover the wound. I since asked three different dentists (one periodontist, two generals) for their professional opinions, all agreed that putting dressing did not create the problem.
When I contested to my dental insurance company, Dr. Hu responded by saying that he had informed me during the consultation that his surgery «may or may not» fixed the gum receding problem. Seriously, if I was as «well-​informed» as he stated, would I have put myself through the trauma?
Now I am spending 3x amount of money out of my own pocket that the insurance initially paid Dr. Hu to try to get the problem fixed, which may be difficult because I lost even more gum tissue from Dr. Hu’s operations.

I had a gum graft from Dr. Hu three weeks ago. He was very professional in explaining exactly what was entailed, gave me written instructions on pre– and post procedures and assured me he was available ²⁴⁄₇ post op. The graft was accomplished, and then (as happens) a week later it split when I ate something that apparently aggravated it. I called the office and was taken in immediately (even though he had a full patient load). Dr. Hu re-​numbed me and re-​stitched the graft, and I was out the door an hour later. Dr. Hu calls the evening the surgery is performed to check all is well and I feel confident that he is available for follow-​up.

Had a very bad experience as he attempted to «save» a tooth. Turns out it was broken from the start, and the six weeks of misery– procedures, pain, infections– were completely unnecessary. Avoid.
