Neal J Chu, DDS

I hadn’t liked my previous dentist in Carlsbad and when I heard from my friend about Dr. Chu I made the switch for a better plan to be able to go to him. Best decision I could have made! They are the most warm, welcoming and talented staff! It’s like seeing close family! They are great! Highly recommend! My husband and kids love it too!

Very great place dr chue is awesome and auroa is the best bobby works the front desk this place is awesome you won’t be ripped off

Best dentist I have had in ten years being in Southern CA. The entire staff is great. Highly recommend them.

UPDATE:
Aug 2015 — I had an old filling just start breaking off piece by piece — along with a gaping hole with very sharp edges. I walked into the office (since I was going to the store nearby) to see if I could make an appt soon. Well, I hadn’t realized I walked in a minute before closing on a Friday! (So sorry!!) They took me right in for an X-​ray and actually drilled & filled my tooth right then & there! I think it took an hour or so too. I was SUPER relieved and appreciative for he and his staff staying for me. On a Friday too! Thank you to everyone in the office! You go above & beyond!

A couple years ago I was needing to find a new dentist closer to me. I happened to see Dr. Chu’s office and walked in. I am so grateful I found him. Besides being close to home, he’s personable and makes himself available to his patients. His dental hygienists have the newest technology to make your smile as healthy and beautiful as it can be. They are always super excited to see me and treat me as a friend instead of just another number. THANK YOU!
I appreciate the Dr. being very gentle with numbing my gums before my procedure — it’s the best job I’ve experienced here in north county. If that’s the worst part of going to the dentist, how easy! He also doesn’t talk you into anything and will work with you on scheduling your dentistry needs. He had told me I needed a crown a year and a half ago, but never made me feel guilty when I didn’t decide to do it right away. He just suggests. I never felt pressured. I finally had it done and am super happy with how the whole thing turned out.
I love Carolina (Dr’s assistant) to death too! Thank you Carolina, for treating me like a human being — I always look forward to our conversations! :)
Oh, and did I mention Dr. Chu has massaging chairs? LOVE THAT!

From the moment I walked into the office, I could tell that Dr. Chu and his staff love their jobs… and that translates into an awesome patient experience!
Everyone I dealt with was friendly and knowledgeable. The office was neat, clean, and gorgeously decorated with hygienist Wendy’s beautiful floral arrangements. Dr. Chu uses the most up-​to-​date dental equipment, like a brand-​new x-​ray machine that is much more patient-​friendly than the old bitewing ones. Dr. Chu and his office staff have amazing people skills, and they treat everyone not just as a patient but as a whole person.
I would recommend Dr. Chu to anyone around Carlsbad looking for a great dentist!

I would like to say that Dr. Chu really helped me in a bind… He let me do payments and he made sure my teeth look perfect! his whole staff is wonderful! They listen to my questions and don’t put me on a time limit. I no longer have a fear of the dentist office.

Dr. Chu and Aurora are the best. Bobbie works the front office and the three make an awesome team. If you are looking for a quality, experienced, and knowledgeable dental team, you need look no further. These three are unmatched in the top notch service they provide. I see Aurora every three months and she is by far, the BEST hygienist I have ever had. I live close by, but if I ever move, I will make a point to come back here. This dental office is like no other.

C C’s review below is on point. Dr Chu is not a businessman, he is a dentist. He cares about your health, out of all the dentist I’ve seen in San Diego County, Dr Chu is the best. There’s no up sell, no pressure, no unnecessary procedures, his staff is professional & courteous.

Love Dr Chu, he is a very caring and compassionate dentist. He back office staff is also very kind and considerate. The only negative thing I would have to say is that the front office staff who I thought very highly of, my kids babysat the office mgrs grandchild and were never paid for the last 2 week of care. Also I found that although my insurance covers only 2 cleanings a yr. She booked me and my children every 3 months. Assuming as since she is the office mgr she knew an auth would be required and obtained. I found she didn’t even try for an auth until I received a $ 600.00+ bill. As a medical collector I called my insurance and that is how I found no attempt was made for auth. I have made several attempts to call and speak to Dr Chu regarding this issue and I don’t think he get the msgs. The bill will be pd and we now have a new dentist. Word of advice. Always as for a copy of the auth. If none is given question it. Again Dr Chu is fantastic and really helped me with a very painful issue. 5 star for Dr Chu. 1 for the front office.

Yes, I agree with the person above! Aurora is a great hygenist! Dr. Chu is great also. And does not do procedures that are not necessary! The office staff is very friendly and works with you also! This is a great dentist!!! Try him out! You will not be dissapointed! The best I have ever been to.

If you want to go to the best dental hygenist in the county, go see Aurora. You will not be disappointed. Dr. Chu is one of the kindest dentists I have ever met. He is not a businessman, he is a dentist, unlike so many other dentists I have met recently who are constantly trying to sell you something and suggesting unnecessary procedures.
