Meet Dr. Liu
Dr. Cathleen Liu, DDS
Dr. Cathleen Liu grew up in the Bay Area and attended the University of California, San Diego where she received her B.S. in Biochemistry. She went on to earn her Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS) from the University of Pacific, Arthur A Dugoni School of Dentistry in 2011 and has been practicing ever since. As a child with a sweet tooth, Dr. Liu had her own fair share of dental work and realized early on the impact of dental health. As a result, she is passionate about patient education on preventative care, and ready to relate with any nervous patients fearful of the dental drill. It is her priority to help patients understand their treatment options and deliver quality dental care through a gentle touch. Outside of work, Dr. Liu can be found wrangling her two kids, on the quest to find the best playgrounds or traveling and trying new cuisines.
Dr. Li and his staff are wonderful. Even when I moved to Chicago for 3 years, my husband and I kept Dr. Li as our dentist and would see him whenever we were back in town. Dr. Li is very gentle and patient, which is important to me after a very painful experience with another dentist.

I am so happy I was referred to Dr. Li by a coworker. I went to him in extreme pain after student dentists botched a root canal, and he restored my mouth to health and eased my pain in just one visit. Dr. Li takes the time to explain procedures to me before he begins working. And as he works, he gives me updates on his progress and the time left until we're finished. He is always checking in with me to make sure I'm feeling alright, and that I am comfortable. Not only am I pain-free when I am visiting his dental office, but I am in and out of the office quickly. He works fast! His rates are great, and his support staff is friendly and helpful. I travel all the way from San Francisco to get dental care at his offices, and it is worth the journey!

I work in a dental field so I know hundreds of dentists but I keep going to the same dentist, Dr. Li! I'm always nervous of getting shot but Dr. Li does it with minimal pain (I won't lie...it still hurts to me as my pain tolerance level is extremely low) but very gentle! and he explains everything before hand so I know what I'm getting....He won't do any unnecessary treatment like how other dentist will try to maximize their profit by recommending thousands of different treatments. And of course, staffs are super nice ;)

I have been to several dentists and by far my visit to Dr. Li's office is the best experience. I had all of my wisdom teeth (all 4) pulled out in one day. Dr Li did it in less than 1 hour and there was no swelling afterwards and I was able to munch on food at dinner time. I was fully recovered in less than 2 days. Dr. Li also did a filling for me and I had no problem with it since the cavaity filling (it has been about 1 year). Unlike my previous filling which had fallen out after 6 months. Dr. Li is gentle, caring and extremely thoughtful: his dental office has a LCD screen TV and even a mini frigerator that offers free drinks and bottled water. I definitely highly recommend Dr. Li to anyone looking for dental treatment and braces services.

I have been there for 3 years. Dr. Li is very freindly to the patients and besides he is professional so I can trust him very much. He is especially good at implant and crown,,,I think..A few months ago he did implant surgery to my mom and dad. They are satisfied with his treatment and care until now. As you know there are many dentists around this area but I highly recommend Dr. Li. I bet there is no regret to go to this dental office!! I like him and his staff a lot!! They are treating patients as a family....Whenever I go there I feel comfortable and peaceful..Can you imagine that you can feel peaceful when you go to see a dentist?? hehehe but it's true, Trust me!!
