Dr. Szeto's Philosophy

There are many great dentists out there but like everything great in life, people have to find what is best for themselves. Allowing a stranger to work inside your mouth can be quite scary, let alone a person hiding behind a white coat with sharp objects in one hand. It is very common for people to become apprehensive when it comes to receiving dental treatment for this reason, so choosing a dentist is not an easy task.

My philosophy in treating patients is to treat each patient as one would treat his own family. I live by the motto, “don’t fix what isn't broken” and “do it right the first time”. When you come to see me, do not expect the office to push unnecessary work or treatment beyond what you are wanting. However, expect honesty and treatment that is above and beyond the rest. I value the time I spend with my patients and always try to spend time listening to what the patient truly desires. In dentistry, there must be an accord between what the patient wants and what the patient needs. I have the honor of serving the patients in a manner that is truly unique, as a health care provider who is seeking the best interest of the patient, all while the patient not wanting to be there. It is no secret that patients do not want to be in a dental chair, but it is no less important than an oil change for your car. It is not easy to be a dentist who takes his time and does what he must. However, when you come to see me that is exactly what you will receive, work that is a combination of artistry and engineering, along with patient care in its deepest sense. A care that one would provide as if they were family.
