Melissa Yu's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Welcome is “THE BEST DENTIST “ Ive ever had!!!! Ive been seeing him for 25 years+. His is practical, thorough and extremely up-to-date on new technology and treatments. He’s extremely professional. The best thing is his shots don’t hurt . I can’t tell you how many times he’s fixed OTHER dentist mistakes on friends and family.If you are not a fan of dentist then you will be of Dr. Welcome. I also wanted to say that the staff at (smile Central dental ) are amazing super easy to talk with and very accommodating. If you need a good dentist then go!

Dr. Daniel Pedersen has over 30 years experience; graduating from USC School of Dentistry. He has made people smile ever since opening up his first dental practice straight out of college. He now continues to do impeccable dental work with more confidence and experience than ever before.

They provide a very comfortable experience with a friendly staff, office is clean & chic. You can trust Dr. Pedersen will give you great care every time.

Excellent dental experience. Friendly, knowledgeable, and personable staff. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a dentist in the area.

If I could I would give Melissa 100 stars.  She is not only brilliant in her work but she goes the extra mile for all her clients.  She cares so deeply about healing your issues and keeping you healthy.  She takes great pride in her work.  I went to her when I sustained a concussion.  Her healing needles were a game changer and she helped me heal quickly, relieving me of the awful head pressure, headaches and foggy brain.  Matter of fact, I sent a friend of mine who got a concussion and she said the same thing about Melissa helping her heal.  I have also sent my husband to see her for a sports injury on his calves (She has a background in Physical therapy for sports).  He was skeptical but left Melissa feeling so great and becoming a huge believer in her work.  Melissa cared so deeply about my healing and really listened to my complaints and symptoms.  She was the best listener and cared so deeply in helping me heal from my awful symptoms.  She didn't rush me and truly listened.  She even called colleagues to make sure she was doing the latest for concussions.  She would read about concussion on her own time and shared information that she discovered with me.  She is smart, compassionate, cares so deeply in helping you heal and takes pride in her work.  She is the best!!!!

Melissa is absolutely wonderful and a miracle worker!  She creates a peaceful environment and is incredibly thoughtful.  She helped me recover from a major knee surgery, boost my immune system, reduce insomnia, and anxiety.  I highly recommend Melissa for acupuncture for mental health issues, recovery from surgery, and overall well being.

Yes, Mellisa is as good as it gets! She is a great acupuncturist. She has a vast knowledge of acupuncture, herbal treatments and body mechanics. And she works on Saturdays.

Melissa Yu is a true healer! I had a very serious nerve/muscle issue and through accupuncture and cupping with Melissa, I am a healed client. I'll still go see her when necessary but I am so thrilled with her knowledge, kindness and expertise. I cannot recommend her enough. She listens and knows exactly what to do.

I have been to a few acupuncturists over the last 10 years, but I never really stuck with them. I'd have good results but none that were consistent, until now!! If you're reading this go to Melissa Yu! She is so great at what she does, kind, offers a huge variety of services and most of she is affordable. She really cares about her patients and takes the time to treat them.  Words cannot describe how much she has helped me over the years. I hope that you see her soon and love her as much as I do!

Fast forward 2 years and 2 months and a crown placed by Dr. Pederson literally explodes into several pieces in my mouth. An emergency temporary is needed. Not withstanding the pain and inconvenience caused by this unfortunate incident, my current dentist testifies that the crown should never have broken the way it did. It was completely unsalvageable. No bonding, nothing. The issue with the crown was the placement, not manufacture. I of course contact Dr. Pederson's office and was promptly told "that these is nothing they can do." They only warranty the crown for 1 year and after that I am on my own. It is really unfortunate that who I thought to be an outstanding dentist is really hack who refuses to stand by his work. I am now left to purchase a new crown for the second time in 2 years.If all you need is a simple cleaning, then by all means go to Smile Central Dental. Should you require more expertise and a warranty then I suggest you go elsewhere.

Wonderful experience here. The office is very clean and well kept. The staff was incredibly friendly, very informative and sensitive to my needs as a patient. I have already recommended them to friends!
