I am a new patient of Dr. Liu's. Went there with because it's near my apartment and they take my insurance. I don't think I'm going to be going back. He's a nice man, and was fine on the day I had my basic check-up, cleaning, etc. But yesterday I went back to have some cracked/missing fillings replaced and some minor bonding re-done and it was probably the worse dentist experience I've ever had. He didn't numb my gums adequately before injecting the novacaine, so that really hurt (have had novacaine several times before, it never felt like this). He didn't file down the new fillings enough, so I now have rough spots on teeth, a sharp edge and my bite feels funny. He re-did bonding on two of my front teeth and while one looks good, the other (now that I've looked at it more closely) is not acceptable at all. hey are also rough and feel like he didn't smooth them at all. And last, without telling me what he was doing, he either sanded down or shaved off the enamel on one of my canine teeth to improve the appearance (I assume). There was nothing wrong with the tooth and I did not ask him to do it. I don't know if it was an accident or what but I'm really upset about it. The tooth now has a wierd edge going across it horizontally and is extremely sensitive to heat/cold. I thought it might feel better today and it's just as bad as yesterday. I am going to have to go to another dentist just to have all of this work corrected. Dr. Liu seemed obviously rushed and now I'm realizing I made a huge mistake going to him.
