I have been a patient of Dr. Tao for longer than I care to admit, and I never want another dentist. Everything she has ever done for me has been stellar, and almost completely painless (she is awesome at injections). In addition, she is warm, kind and funny. If we could clone her, the world could have excellent teeth. Her staff are thorough, kind and caring as well- I would highly recommend her and her team- except so many other people already like them that it can be hard to get an appointment.

Been going for 5 years to Michelle's clinic and my gums and teeth have never felt better after upkeep and cleaning by them. She is knowledgeable and upfront about everything that needs to be fixed with your teeth. Even though I keep moving further and further from their office I know I'll never find a dentist office that makes me feel at ease like hers.

I am so pleased to have finally found a dentist that I like and trust as much as my childhood dentist. Dr. Tao and her team are amazing. They communicate everything they are doing very well. They are quite good at making one feel safe, and accommodating anxious patients. They are also very upfront about costs and options available. After years of being afraid of painful dentists and/or very pricey ones, I am relieved to have found a dentist office office I am actually happy to visit.
Thanks 💚

Dr Michelle is amazing. She has changed my entire perspective of dentists from fear to trust. Dr Michelle has helped me through many difficult situations from a chipped front tooth to the discovery of many fillings. She is friendly, reassuring and genuine! Absolutely the best dentist around.
Her team is also wonderful!

Dr. Michelle Tao is very professional and caring. I was very grateful and pleased that she never shamed me, or gave and judging, considering the conditions of my teeth at the time. She made me trust her after the first visit, which helped me overcome my initial anxiety and fear. My subsequent visits for fillings and extraction went very well, with absolutely no pain or setbacks. Finally I found a great dentist, whom I keep recommending to my friends!

Aside from Dr. Penny Thompson from whom she took over the practice, Dr.Tao is one of the two dentists who has not made me feel ashamed or upset about my teeth. Her staff are all professional and kind. Her work has stood the test of time and she is very sensitive to the fact that I do not freeze properly, always checking in to make sure I am comfortable with what is happening.

Dr Tao is professional, knowledgeable, and very skilled. I trust her with my and my family's needs. Her staff are competent, friendly, and patient. The only things that I would change: it is sometimes very challenging to schedule an appointment; the radio station in the waiting room is a bit annoying (to me - others may like it). Overall, we have been very happy with the service we get there!

Dr. Tao continues Dr. Penny Thompson's tradition of cheerful, professional service -- and something I enjoy, being told exactly what they are doing to me as they go, and why. She and her colleagues have suggestions for care but do not push, and are willing to work within your budget (unlike my previous dentist who wanted to regularly X-ray my jaw in case of tumors. No, I don't smoke, and there is no other reason to think I would have one.) One small thing: please don't ask questions that require more than a "yes" or "no" of people with hardware in their mouths!

Dr. Michelle Tao is a dentist that I would recommend to anyone that's afraid or embarrassed to go to the dentist. I hadn't been to the dentist in years, and was really afraid to go. I made an appointment with Dr. Michelle Tao after she was recommended to me by a friend, and WOW - I can't even believe how comfortable I felt. Dr. Tao was professional, kind, funny, and made me feel at home. Within a minute of meeting her, my fears went away. The entire staff and experience was amazing, and I'm no longer afraid to go to the dentist! If you are scared, embarrassed, shy - make an
