Dr. Liao is by far the best dentist I have ever been to. He is exceedingly knowledgeable and takes a whole health approach. He takes a great amount of care to ensure comfort and explains everything to his patients in great detail. He and his assistant work together flawlessly and go the extra mile and then some to make sure the patient is truly comfortable-step by step.I truly trust Dr. Liao -his integrity and real desire to help the patient cannot be overstated. I have never felt more cared for at a dentist office in my life and I hope he never leaves the area. I highly recommend Dr. Liao to everyone-from every age group. Simply put-he is exceptional and his staff - especially his assistant are amazing.

We came to Dr. Liao seeking a 2nd opinion for our 22 month old daughter, Mia. She had some plaque like discoloration that was only affecting her 4 upper, front teeth. She also has an upper lip tie that we wanted checked out. The dentist we visited before was a pediatric practice in Fredricksburg. It was a nightmare and left me feeling pretty defeated and walked on. Fast forward to our 2nd opinion visit with Dr. Liao and it was a complete 360. The waiting room was nice and the front desk lady was very friendly and seemed genuinely happy to be there. When the dental assistant opened the door to call Mia back she didn't just stand there like we've experienced with other assistants. She actually came out, got down to Mia's level and talked to her! It really made a difference that right off the bat the staff here were welcoming Mia with kindness and trying to earn her trust. We went to the back room. They allowed me to sit in the chair and hold her in my lap. Dr. Liao came in and was just wonderful from beginning to end. He did not force his way into my child's mouth via a metal clamp like the first dentist did. Instead he respectfully sat and talked with us and interacted with Mia so she was more comfortable in his presence. I held her upper lip while he examined her front teeth and lip tie. He said the tie was no issue now and could be fixed around 5 or 6 years of age. He also said her teeth were not of concern. I told him the previous dentist stated her teeth were in an active state of decay and needed immediate drilling and capping. Dr. Liao took the metal hook they use to examine your teeth. Mia began to cry once she saw the hook. Dr. Liao gently showed her on my thumb nail first, and then her thumb nail what he was going to do and then I held her lip while he examined her teeth with the metal hook. He once again told us her teeth were of no concern. He said if cavities were on a letter scale with A being no cavities and Z being an abcess, that Mia's teeth were an A- or B at the most. He asked questions about her diet, and my pregnancy and delivery with her. He was so polite and answered all of my questions and never once made me feel ignorant. I asked him if your diet during pregnancy can affect your child's baby teeth since those develop during the 4th month of pregnancy. He said that was true and I embarrassingly admitted to my poor diet during pregnancy and how her teeth had always seemed to have that strip of discoloration. I told him about how we now for almost a year have been following a paleo/primal approach to eating (shares similarities with the Weston A. Price diet that he recommends). Dr. Liao said we are doing great with our nutrition now and to keep going. I brush Mia's teeth in the morning and before bed and he recommended to also use small gauze wipes soaked in an equal parts mixture of peroxide and water to wipe her teeth and lip tie area down if she ate something sticky since her lip tie could cause food/plaque to become trapped. He also recommended for me to read "baby led weaning" and "cure tooth decay". He also recommended for myself or another family member to make an appointment so Mia could watch and then she could come back in about 6 months for another exam. What I also loved about him was that I told him Mia was still nursing on demand. He didn't bat an eye at that and was more focused on keeping her mouth clean of other foods and following a good diet. I was so relieved because the previous dentist had attacked me for this. Leaving the office the staff was just as friendly and one of the desk receptionists gave Mia a couple of little rubber bracelets for being a good patient. I am so thankful that I found Dr. Liao and his staff. It was out of network so we did have to pay up front but we have out of network coverage with our insurance and will be reimbursed for some of it but it was worth every bit. Finding a provider and staff that was respectful of myself and my small daughter is priceless. I would highly recommend Dr. Liao to anyone, especially someone with small children who may have had a bad experience with another dentist. We will definitely be visiting Dr. Liao and his staff in the future.
