This office is wonderful. I have been seeing Dr. Tran for two years now and i have no complaints. Her treatment recommendations have been honest and her work is thorough. She replaced an old filling and I never had any sensitivity during or after the procedure. Everyone in the office is friendly and professional.

I was on the hunt to find a new dentist closer to where I live and stumbled upon Dr. Tran's office. My first appointment with Dr. Tran and her colleagues was a very pleasant experience. I was warmly welcomed in and seated in the waiting room for a short time. They called me back right away and Sharon, the dental hygienist, began with a few x-rays and then cleaning my teeth. Sharon had a light touch and was gentle enough not to cause any discomfort, yet extremely thorough. Once she was finished, Dr. Tran came in to look to see how everything was looking. She was very kind and guided me in my on-going journey of dental health. I also received a cool goodies bag afterwards and set up my next appointment! Overall, my experience with Dr. Tran and her staff was wonderful and I would definitely recommend seeing her if you're looking for a new dentist!

Dr. Tran and her colleagues are wonderful! I had a very comprehensive, gentle cleaning & inspection. The office is well organized and staffers helped me with all of my insurance needs. Dr. Tran is a wonderful addition to Alameda.

I came here for my usual six month cleaning appointment and met Dr. Tran. She was very gentle and spent the time getting to know me. The entire staff is friendly and it is fitting that they make you feel at home since the office is situated in a charming house. I also like that there is parking in the back.

Awful. She inherited clients from Dr. Brohard, and told me I had shadows everywhere in my teeth in the xrays. She told me I'd need thousands of dollars of work done, and had me pretty scared. She also told me my inspection visit was not being charged, then I got several bills in the mail. Then the office secretary (a really nice woman), had to call me to get the payment! So I paid, for fear of collection agencies. I've seen 2 new dentists and they told me I have no problem with my teeth. I believe this new dentist is trying to drum up business by scaring patients into believing false diagnosis.

I have been coming to this office fore some time. When I met Dr. Tran, I thought she was very thorough and honest. She didn't find any new cavities but showed me areas that could be potential cavities in the future. She even showed me how to floss properly. I am happy Dr. Brohard found such a great dentist for me. See you in six months!
