Cynthia Yee, D.D.S., M.S.

We love Dr. Cindy and Ms. Natasha! They are amazing with kids.
Both my kids have had traumatic experience with two other dentists in the past and now that we found Dr. Cindy, we plan to stay put! She is thorough, kind and gentle; put my 13 yr old boy and 11 yr old girl right at ease. I just wish I had found her sooner. And I wish that she treated adults so that I could get treated by her too!

Dr. Yee is absolutely fantastic! My three children all love going to the dentist to see her and I am always so impressed with how smooth the visits are. The entire practice is delightful. When you walk in the door you are greeted with smiles and warmth from the staff and hygienists. It is clear that everyone there loves working with kids and the practice is built around that philosophy. The children enjoy watching movies during their cleanings, and of course the prize box at the end! «Dr. Cindy» is always very patient and knowledgeable with any questions we have. We have needed to have a few fillings for our daughter and those went so smoothly that my daughter wanted to go back for more! :) I could not recommend this practice more highly!

Dr Cynthia Yee is a kind and compassionate person who has provided excellent dental care to my three children. She will go the extra mile to answer your questions and make your child’s dental experience positive. She is a true professional. Children can watch movies from the dental chair and pick treats when they’re finished. I highly recommend «Dr Cindy».

I’ve been taking my kids here for about 6 years now. We see Dr. Yee and she has been great. All of the hygienists were so sweet with my nervous daughter and now after many years she is comfortable sitting in the chair and getting everything done. She got a chipped tooth over the weekend and they got her fixed up in no time. The tooth looks great and my daughter was so relaxed she even turned down the «happy gas.» I’m always pleased by how attentive, sweet, and considerate everyone is here.

My kids love going to the dentist when they are visiting Dr. Yee. She and her dental assistants couldn’t be nicer. The office is organized and always runs on time. They are very responsive to billing questions. A first class operation.

By far, this is the most caring and professional dental office that I’ve seen yet. The staff and Dr. Cindy are fantastic with both making children AND parents feel extremely comfortable. My kids have come here for their cleanings, check-​ups, and fillings. All of the aforementioned procedures have proceeded smoothly, without ever a hitch. My kids have told me that they «didn’t feel a thing» during their fillings, and that goes to show how gentle and skillful Dr. Cindy is. Her staff are also very expert in soothing kids, showing them the steps so that there are no surprises, and encouraging them throughout the process. Dr. Cindy definitely does not rush through her work, but I appreciate the quality time that she spends in making sure that everything is done properly. It’s nice how Dr. Cindy uses very kid-​friendly terms to describe what is going on, so there’s nothing «scary» sounding to our kids. She has this very soft and soothing voice when she’s doing the fillings, and the calmest demeanor, which in turn, puts kids at ease. No matter what goes on in the office and how busy it can get, I’ve never seen our dentist get «rattled.»
Being a very observant parent myself, I also like to look around to see what’s going on in the office. I’ve noticed that the staff and Dr. Cindy have amazing respect for each other. It’s one thing for a doctor to be nice to their patients, but I like to observe what goes on «behind the scenes,» when the doctor interacts with the staff. Hands down, Dr. Cindy is a gem to everyone around her. She’s incredibly sweet to her staff, even when the front office folks come over to politely interrupt what she’s doing. She always has a smile on her face when she talks to her employees, and I can tell that her staff genuinely enjoy working with her. Every single time, the energetic and enthusiastic staff are all smiles, because clearly, they truly like where they work. This just gives me extra peace of mind that we have found a doctor who is simply and honestly kind and caring to everyone, rather than putting up a façade in front of patients, which is what I notice in far too many other dental offices thus far. It’s also very comforting to always see the same, friendly, familiar staff members greet and take care of us. Happy staff who stay at the same practice equates to happy and stable office environment. Everyone takes the time to get to know us, rather than rushing us in and out.
My kids always perk up when I tell them that they have a dental visit. (I never used to be this enthusiastic when I had a dental appointment, growing up.)This makes me feel so secure in trusting my kids’ dental care to Dr. Cindy, and her phenomenal staff!

My 6 and 9 year old have been coming to Dr. Yee since she established her practice in Los Altos. There is always a smile on their face before and after each visit. Who won’t? With a caring doctor, happy staffs, individual TV and toys/​goodies after the visit, even I want to be a kid again! Dr. Yee noticed one of my 6 year old’s new teeth couldn’t come out due to lack of space and suggested getting the baby teeth out. The whole process was painless. My 6 year old was so happy to see her two teeth stored in a little container afterward, ready for tooth fairy to visit! Thanks, Dr. Yee for your patient and suggestions!

Can a child actually WANT to go to the dentist? YES! If they get to go to «Dr. Cindy!» Dr. Yee is cheerful and personable, always finding something good to say about your child and making them feel valued and known. She remembers her patients and attends to them as individuals who are «special.» This is not your typical dental experience! Oh, yeah, and she is a great dentist surrounded by competent and friendly staff!

My toddler had had three traumatic experiences with three different dentists prior to my resorting to Unilocal to look for a kind, compassionate pediatric dentist for her thanks to the honest reviews of parents on here, I was able to find Dr. Cynthia Yee and her beyond fabulous assistant, Miss Natalie. They have been nothing short of a godsend for us. Scarred by her previous experiences and being a highly sensitive child my daughter was wary (rightly so) of Miss Natalie during our initial visit but after some initial hesitation, she warmed up to Miss Natalie’s genuine kindness. We had three acclimatization visits prior to the actual visit. My daughter is so besotted with Miss Natalie now that she even mutters her name in her sleep! Dr. Yee hasn’t had a chance to look at my daughter’s teeth yet since she isn’t on the «approved list» but she has been tremendously patient and extremely thorough in her guidance. I feel confident that my daughter will have a good relationship with dentists for life now that she is in Dr. Yee and Miss Natalie’s able hands.

Both of my girls absolutely love going to Dr. Yee! Which, if you know kids and dentist the word «love» is hardly every used. Dr. Yee is so friendly and approachable that my children are comfortable doing their check up without needing me to be in the same room. We have been going to Dr. Yee for over 4 years. We originally lived in the Bay Area and the visits were a hop, skip and a jump away. We now live 2 hrs away and have made the trek many times since our move because she is just that good! I highly recommend her services to all my friends!

My little brother loves it here!
He’s 10 now and has never complained about going to see Dr.Cindy. Even when it involved getting work done (poor guy, warned him about his brushing). He loves Dr. Cindy and his favorite assistants are Natalie and Jae, «They’re the best!».
Great office!

⁵⁄₁₅: Dr. Cynthia Yee recently took over this pediatric dentistry practice and we are so happy to have her! She and her talented staff have worked miracles with my more than difficult children.
My 13 year old was in recently to get a small filling and sealers. Dr. Cindy had pulled two of the «longest teeth ever» a couple of months earlier and figured out how to calm my daughter’s anxiety. She prescribes a sedative, greats her outside to walk in with her, and offers a scented laughing gas. I have had to physically restrain my daughter before and was amazed that she happily got all the work done without any Novocain!
My 9 year old got a small filling at the same time. She was very anxious, refused the sedative and would not even walk into the dental office. Dr. Cindy’s amazing staff took a toy outside to her, helped her calm down and eased her into the and finally the chair, one baby step at a time. They found a way to gain her trust and work with her on the level and amount of information she needed to feel safe. The filling was done quickly and she left feeling great about Dr. Yee, the wonderful assistants and herself. Now, she loves talking about how great her dentist is!

Taking over for Dr. Kelly was never going to be an easy task, but Dr. Yee has been outstanding. Both my kids (9 and 5) really enjoy going to the dentist office. My daughter has had 2 crowns along with other fillings, and the work they’ve done has been outstanding. She looks forward to going to the dentist despite the work she’s had done to her teeth. You can’t ask for more. The assistants are top notch as well. Even though we are 30 min away, we will continue to return due to the people that work there. Thanks so much for the shiny teeth!

I had a regular check up, and they told me I needed a filling. Scheduling the filling was no problem and I had it done the week after my checkup. Dr. Yee is friendly yet professional at the same time, making the procedure much easier to feel relaxed in. The staff/​technicians have a good dynamic with each other and get you in and out of the appointment as fast as possible, without rushing or skimping on the job.

We have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Cindy. Our son has never had reservations about going to the dentist and looks forward to watching videos during his cleanings and getting goodies after the appointment is done. She and her staff are great and the office has a welcoming feel to it that is comforting for both kids and parents. Dr Cindy is very thorough in her explanations of any dental health issues or things to watch for. We are big fans and are happy to recommend her to any of our friends looking for a pediatric dentist.

Attention all moms who are deeply concerns about their children’s heath care, I have fantastic news to share with you! My children’s pediatric dentist, Cindy Yee, is the most quality and caring dentist you could ever be so blessed to find.
My personal childhood memories of my dental experience had been horrific — the kind you need a good shrink to get over it. Which is why for my children I needed to find someone gentle, understanding, caring, and fun for them.
Dr. Cindy Yee is all that I needed and more. Her staff are friendly and fun. My kids actually looks forward to their 6 months check ups! They give out the most awesome toys, says my son. We love it there so much that I have been traveling from San Ramon to Los Altos since we moved in 2008.
Even when there’s drilling involved for cavities there’s been no tears nor complaints, ever! With Dr. Cindy, (or should I say, aunt Cindy because she will care for you children like family) there’s no pain and best of all not shots! My children get to watch an awesome animated movie while work is being done on their teeth. Always smiles when I come in to check on them.
Dr. Cindy Yee is the best dentist for you children! If you’re able to get an appointment with her then count your blessings mom!

Dr. Cindy is wonderful. My daughter had an issue that another dentist caused and did not take care of. Dr. Cindy fixed the problem in 1 visit. She worked her magic. Her quality of care is too notch. My 3 kids all love her and don’t moan and groan when informed of dental appts. What more can a mom ask for. And I also can’t say enough about her staff and the front desk staff. Kind, courteous, fun, and they make the appt making process for three kids a snap.
My older two are also under the care of the ortho practice in the same office and Dr. Cindy’s staff works seamlessly with them, fixing my scheduling snafus.

Dr Yee and her assistants are amazing! My daughter looks forward to her visits at her dental office. She says all of Dr Yee’s assistants are her favorite. They leave her teeth looking so nice and white every time she goes. She loves Dr. Yee and her helpers. They have some of the coolest prizes that I’ve ever seen at a kids’ dental office. This place goes all out to make the experience positive for kids, every single time they go in.
Even when my daughter needed a filling, the experience was really smooth. The staff showed her all the tools first. Dr. Yee uses the most gentle touch when she carefully numbs the tooth. My daughter didn’t even feel it. It’s cool how Dr. Yee uses all kid friendly words to describe to my daughter what she’s doing, so my daughter wasn’t scared at all. The filling turned out to be so pretty. My daughter keeps telling me that she’s happy that her tooth isn’t «brown» anymore. It’s shiny and white. Should have taken a before and after photo. It’s like night and day.
I would highly recommend Dr. Yee to anyone looking for a super, energetic, and fun dentist for their children!

My son had a bad fall, and as a result lost his primary front tooth. He was bleeding excessively. I showed up without making any appointment during their lunch hour, (the office is technically closed for lunch and their staff was resting).
Sensing the urgency, Dr. Yee and her staff went out of their way to admit my son. Within 5-​mins we did X-​Rays, and another 5-​mins performed the dental exam. A lady dentist, who was doing the exam was very cordial, thorough and patiently answered all of my questions.
Later, I checked with the American Dental Association’s Dental Trauma guide, and her treatment as well as the prognosis was 100% correct.
They also didn’t charge me for the exam, which clearly showed that Dr. Yee was more concerned with my son’s health and connected with my pain as a parent than cared just about money.
I’d strongly recommend Dr. Yee and her office to all of my friends.

Dr. Yee and her staff assistants are top of the line. My two young children unfortunately have teeth made of sawdust, and so we visit the dentist a lot. Dr. Yee is unfailingly professional, and both she and her assistants have a tremendous ability to engage with kids when they are most tense, and calm them down.
As a parent, I always felt that Dr. Yee listened to my concerns and anxieties, and walked us calmly through next steps and all options available to us.
Best of all, the place has a warm atmosphere. Dr. Yee works in flawless teamwork with her assistants, and the kids are so well taken care of that they actually LIKE going to the dentist.
To boot — for the adults reading this posting — there is free coffee in the waiting room.
