The doctors and staff were great... just the wait time is entirely too long.


Mar 19, 2025

Definite lack of communication and follow through. Staff, residents and doctors are way too rushed and uninformed. Everything done on the run more or less.


Feb 26, 2025

We are very very please with the care of Dr Shum


Feb 19, 2025

Dr Shum and his team are excellent - I am glad I am his patient.


Feb 17, 2025

Booking an appointment was extremely difficult, and I received some bad info initially.


Feb 12, 2025

My experience was okay, I just wish I knew more about my diagnosis all I know is that I have mild displasia I don't know how I got it or if it goes away or anything else except it is precancerous cells.


Feb 12, 2025

I appreciate being able to be seen as a new patient since I was told he was not able to take any new patients


Jan 31, 2025

Dr. Shum provided us with a plethora of information & explained everything in terms we could easily understand.


Jan 29, 2025

It was a very bad experience. I will not like to go back there.


Jan 29, 2025

My experience with Dr Shum and his staff is always a positive experience. I am grateful for the care I receive. He always takes his time with my examination and sits and answers all questions. I alway leave feeling satisfied with my visit.

I think Dr Shum was a little over booked. He still spent time and listened to me and I didn't feel rushed. He is a great doctor, I trusted him with my life and I am still here!!!


Oct 14, 2024

Excellent,


Sep 30, 2024

Very friendly and caring


Sep 30, 2024

My issues were thoroughly discussed. Dr. Shum called my referring dentist, which was very helpful


Sep 11, 2024

Physicians and staff are quite professional, skilled and attentive. The care I receive is excellent.


Sep 4, 2024

I understand long wait time is sometimes not avoidable or difficult to predict, but waiting room chairs are very uncomfortable.


Aug 19, 2024

I scheduled an appointment to see Dr Shum and have a biopsy. Neither of those things happened. I saw a resident who arrived 30 min late and said he would request to have a biopsy scheduled. This could have been done without me coming in at all.


Aug 19, 2024

I have anxiety as it relates to visiting dentist because of my trauma experience. Provider ask me to explain my knowledge about my visit and I did. The only thing I learned from this visit is bone structure for the reconstruction of my condition. He told me it could take up to 2yrs to the process.. Very disappointed and heartbreaking. I'm very sensitive to this situation and no empathy was displayed.


Aug 7, 2024

Dr. Shum and his staff are very professional and caring.
