Does anyone have any experience, positive or otherwise, with Dr.
Guemei Chiang, pediatric dentist? She works with Dr. Vivian
Lopez at 2821 Telegraph near Ashby. I called Dr. Lopez based on
the recommendations on the website for a first dentist
appointment for my almost 3-yr old son. Dr. Lopez is not taking
new patients but her colleague Dr. Chiang is.
My son, now 6, has been going to Dr. Chiang for three years.
She has a very nice manner and is very consientious. All the
hygienists in the office are great with kids.

I can highly recommend Dr. Chiang. I took my son there when he
was five -- he had 10 cavities and his prior pediatric dentist
couldn't work with him and recommended total anasthesia. Dr.
Chiang's office was great. They came through for us -- as I
didn't want my son totally unconscious. They administered
something to make him relax and took good care of him. He's now
eight and goes there without any complaints. He has much fewer
cavities now, too.
The waiting room is a bit neglected, but there is lots of
attention to detail inside -- where it counts. Kids borrow
sunglasses for the bright lights. Dr. Cheng and all the staff
there are really professional and kind. We've been quite happy
there.

We've used Dr. Chiang and have been very happy with her. We had to
do a couple of extractions and other not-quite-major but still pretty
significant work on my 6/7-year old. She's really sweet and seems to do
a perfectly good job. The office staff are very capable. The only
drawback is the limited time she's available -- only Wednesdays, I think.

My kids just saw Dr. Chang for the first time recently and we
liked her a lot. The office is wonderful (we've been going to Dr.
Lopez for years). Hygienists and receptionist are
friendly and sensitive to kids. Appointments are usually on time.
