Lin Lin Chen, DDS

All my life, I’ve wondered why people hate going to the dentist. Now, I learned why. OMG, this was the worst dental experience I’ve ever had. I don’t have any cavities and never have had one, but I left the office with bleeding gums that didn’t stop bleeding for days. No, I don’t have gum disease, either: The hygienist was a hack! I was in tears, and she didn’t stop. The dentist herself didn’t seem to care that her hygienist had just ripped my mouth open unnecessarily. The only nice person was the receptionist who seemed to take pity on me. Thanks for that! Will never go here again for a standard check-​up, etc., and I hope no one else suffers the way I did this year. Worst dentist office ever!

If you live in the Tri Valley and your dentist is not Dr. Chen, you not only need your teeth checked; but your head checked too! She is the best!
I was a patient of Dr. Chen’s when I lived in the Bay and she was by far the BEST dentist I have ever had. I was so sad to no longer be her patient when I moved to LA, but she referred me to a wonderful dentist in LA that is equally as awesome as she.
This Thanksgiving break I had a dental emergency and who did I call after not being a patient for almost 5 years? Of course Dr. Chen. She met me at her office at 5 pm the night before Thanksgiving and opened her office to help me out. On top of that, I was planning to pay a pretty penny due to the timing. Guess what? She didn’t charge me anything. I was floored!!! Not only is she a wonderful Dr, but a wonderful person too! I can’t recommend Dr. Chen high enough! If you want the best, then you go to Dr. Chen!!!

My family has been seeing Dr Chen for over 15 years. Each of my children began seeing her when they were 2 years old. She is great with children. She is very patient and gentle with them. She is great with adults too. She is very personable and has a terrific staff. I highly recommend her services.

Dr Chen is an excellent dentist. I’ve seen her for about 8 yrs. She makes you feel comfortable and always takes the time to inquire about your family. She is great with children too. My daughter and 3 grandchildren started seeing her and they feel very comfortable with her.

I have been to Dr. Chen for several years now. Since I do not have any teeth problem, I cannot comment on her skills. I went there because of its location and hygienist. She was never in our dental insurance network but I only need to pay a little or none at all. This year I moved my kids to her care too. Before I made the appointments for three of us, I called the office and got the treatment codes and quotes. I used the codes to call my insurance and their fees were all within the coverage. To my surprise, I got a big bill from her office afterwards. After calling and talking to her front desk three times demanding an explanation, I did not receive any call from Dr. Chen after being promised three times. This is definitely not the way to treat customers and it is not acceptable. We are leaving this office for sure.

Absolutely LOVE Dr. Chen. Extremely knowledgeable, good patient care, always feel like my family and I are receiving quality care. Office is modern, and comfortable — leather chairs, DVD players — top notch!
