Dr. Derrick Chua, DMD

Dr. Chua has done an excellent job with me formulating a plan and communicating the strategy and costs to me. He has done extensive amount of work on me and has never done anything but excellent work. On top of all that, he is also a very nice gentleman. Thank you very much Dr Chua!

Over the course of three weeks Susan Chua and her assistant Lottie cleaned my teeth (free with dental insurance) and gave me three fillings (80% off with insurance). Here are my thoughts on the service…
* friendly
* attention to detail
* high-​quality
* convenient
* quick
* caring
* professional
I will be recommending them to others!

Had wonderful experiences with Dr. Derrick Chua and his mother Dr. Susanna Chua. Both impressed me with their strong knowledge of dentistry and tried to be flexible based on my needs!

Dr Chua is quite the best dentist I ever had, he is very polite and describes everything in great detail. Dr Chua makes you feel very comfortable while being in his office, from listening to music or watching a movie your visit will go by before you know it. My family has been going to Dr Chua for about 4 years now and I will soon make my 1 year old son his first appointment with dr Chua. I plan on staying with dr Chua for many years to come!

I picked Dr. Chua since a friend recommended him to me & he’s close to where I live as well as the practice being there for many, many years. I got on Unilocal to write a review right after my visit and to my SURPRISE saw the 2 negative reviews. I’m glad that I didn’t see their reviews before going to see Dr. Chua since they are completely unfounded and untrue. Also, they are old posts. Or it might be one of those ‘write a review only when you are unhappy’ while thousands of satisfied patients don’t write anything (same reason as those 1800 numbers on the back of commercial vehicles asking ‘how am I driving?’ — people usually don’t call unless there is a problem.)
Anyways, MY EXPERIENCE WAS AMAZING. Aside from the cute waiting area (with a TV which I was watching the Price is Right… LOL), very nice receptionist, and TV on the patient chair; Dr. Chua’s work was PAIN-​FREE, and very WELL DONE (not only were my cavities taken care of, my teeth’s surface stains were mostly removed while I didn’t get that from my previous dentists.)
Dr. Chua constantly asked me how I was doing, and was EXTREMELY COURTEOUS throughout the procedure. He is VERY FRIENDLY too!!! At the end, he consulted with me and drew up a plan for me. He went on to recommend some more work to be done in future visits (replacing old mercury fillings and possibly getting ortho) but those were all recommendations; not at any time did I feel pressured to get anything done. The receptionist at the end of the visit CLEARLY explained to me what future work Dr. Chua recommended to get done and how much it would cost me and I agreed to get them done.
It was a VERY PLEASANT experience and I’m definitely going to return and continue to visit Dr. Chua. Dr. Chua, just in case you are reading this, please get Reputation Defender services since the last 2 posts which are over 4 years old are very inaccurate.

Dr. Derrick is great! You feel welcome and relaxed when you enter the office greeted by Maralyn. Once in the chair, Derrick is very knowledgeable and pays attention to detail. I never once had any doubts when visiting his office and I always know that when I leave my teeth feel and look great. I would recommend Dr. Derrick to anyone who is looking for a new dentist or an improvement from the one they are currently using.

Excellent dentist! Very courteous & efficient office. Insurance referred me but I would return & definitely refer people there. Dr. Dua even followed up & called me personally to see if I had any questions. I was very impressed with their high tech equipment as well! On the downside, I was told I had cavities but instead they replaced my metal fillings with White. Really not necessary because I was there to see about a root canal so this added expense was not needed and the bill was more out of pocket than I was told.

I have been going to this office since I was young. Now my son is going to this office and he loves his Dentist –Derrick…Derrick is really good with kids and knows how to bond with them. He is very caring also and the staff also. My son likes going to the Dentist and hope he continues seeing his dentist-​Derrick.
I am also still going there and I like them. They treat you like their your family and its a warmth and comfortable atmosphere. I am now going there every month for my Braces and Yvette is so nice and takes care of me. I will see her again in a week for my braces…
My regular dentist is Susanna Chua and she is very nice, Lotti is very nice also. They are both caring and great at what they do.
The MA, Marylene… sorry if i spelled ur name wrong. =)…she is very nice also and always greets you with a smile =)…
That’s all I need to say about this great office and staff… everybody should go here especially if you have children. they really take care of you! =)

I have been going to Dr. Chua for the past two years and my contrary to previous reviews on here, my experiences have been great.
His knowledge of dentistry superb. He’s given me several helpful tips I use on a daily basis on keeping my teeth healthy and clean.
I have no doubt that Dr. Chua has his patients best interest in mind and would only give recommendations for any procedures he thought was essential.

I concur with Adrienne. His sister also told me I had multiple cavities. I freaked out but thought that I should get it done because I got insurance from my new job.
Well, Yvette supposedly suddenly had maternity problems ON my appointment without a phone call to me about that and Derrick Chua filled in for her. I was caught off guard and was worried that I needed my teeth done and will not have time to do it later so I agreed for him to do it. He filled my cavities (4 total) without anesthesia (because he said since he’s not going deep, it’s better to go without), RUSHED through the job (30 mins total) and I’m still feeling uncomfortable after two months.

I picked Dr. Chua due the proximity of his office to my house. He told me I had 8 cavities I needed filled ASAP and recommended 10 porcelain veneers for my smile. I’ve only had one cavity so far (in my baby teeth) and mainly compliments on my smile.
Then his office sent me the quote… but only for the veneers! They seemed intent on selling me a 15K smile while my teeth rotted away. (BTW the cavities weren’t the normal kind you see on the X-​ray, but still needed to be filled.)
I freaked out and decided to get a second opinion.
I have one cavity you CAN see on the X-​ray and nothing else wrong a good cleaning couldn’t have taken care of.
