How important is competence to you? Dr. Nguyen is highly competent. 10 stars! I had seen 3 dentists within several days before I had an emergency appointment with Dr. Nguyen. I felt MOST SAFE under his care, Dr Nguyen's care. What a difference in skill and experience! Dr. Nguyen explained what was happening in my mouth. I had tooth pain that was increasing every few hours. Within 30 seconds, he saw 4 cavities and believed that was the source of pain, not a root canal as said by Dr. X and Y. My cavities-- deep holes were filling up with food and liquid, so that is likely why I had the lingering pain. He was able to quickly explain what is going on and also, what the next steps will be. I first went to my clinic and saw Dr X at my clinic didn't even see the 1.2.3.4 cavities. She tapped on the teeth and put the air on the tooth and said "Well, I don't know, you likely need a root canal." She just passed me off to an endodontist with no mention of any cavities. The 2nd dentist at the clinic said my teeth looked fine. I would show you a picture, but it is so gross. A lay person could tell you there were problems with the teeth. There is a difference in the quality of care. My vote is with Dr. Nguyen. Go with a dentist who knows their field. The dental hygienist was knowledgeable too.

The whole dental experience was amazing at Dr. Nguyen's office! Everyone was very pleasant and calming which is great for someone who had been putting off a trip to the dentist for several years.
