Derek Kolander, DDS

Experiencia fantástica: I had my first visit with Dr. Chaw recently. His front office and hygienist was very friendly, easy to talk to, and made me feel welcomed. It has been a while since my last cleaning and both Dr. Chaw and the hygienist were very gentle yet thorough in my exam and cleaning. I had a few fillings that needed to be done and Dr Chaw made it painless, I didn't even feel the needle! I will be a lifelong patient, and continue to visit Dr. Chaw for all my dental work.

Experiencia fantástica: I was referred to this dental office because I was looking for a new Dentist. Amazing experience! Staff was very knowledgeable and Dr. Chaw is superb.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Chaw and staff are miracle workers. I went in for an orthodontics consultation because my teeth looked like they didn’t like each other! I had an extreme overjet, over bite, and misalignment. Another specialist recommended I had teeth removed in order to get ortho treatment, and Dr. Chaw was able to get my teeth’s act together without removing any. He was very diligent on follow up’s and made sure I was happy with my results. Barbara is an amazing person and also extremely experienced. Special shoutout to Jasmine because she brought me to tears one day. I swear I almost died lol! So much more I could say but I’ll let the results speak for themselves. See pics for details!

From routine cleanings to more complex dental work, the level of care and attention to detail has been consistently top-notch. ​ ​The entire staff is welcoming, professional, and thorough. Appointments always run on schedule, and the hygienists are gentle yet meticulous.

Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr. Kyle Chaw the other day for a cleaning and exam. I can honestly say he is the best dentist I've ever had! During the exam, he was able to explain everything about my teeth and really provide clarity that my previous dentist did not. He’s super easy going, friendly, and personable. He actually tries to get to know you, rather than treat you as just another patient!

Experiencia fantástica: I don’t usually leave reviews for dentists, but Dr. Kyle Chaw and the team at Fair Oaks Village Dental Group definitely earned it. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome (and not like I was about to get scolded for skipping flossing a few times). Dr. Chaw was professional, thorough, and somehow managed to make the whole experience stress-free—even with dental work that I’d been putting off for way too long. He explains everything clearly, has a steady hand, and actually makes you feel like you’re in good hands. Bonus points: he has a great sense of humor, which definitely helps when you’re stuck in the chair with your mouth wide open. The service here is stellar—efficient, friendly, and they genuinely care about their patients. It’s rare to leave a dental office actually smiling (and not just because they cleaned your teeth), but that’s exactly how I felt walking out.
