Very satisfied after a long scheduled treatment plan with Dr. Thien Bui. My daughter has a naturally beautiful set of teeth!
If you’re a working parent with kids in school, look elsewhere for a dentist. We’ve been seeing Dr. Bui for my son’s braces treatment since 2018, and the lack of flexibility has been incredibly frustrating. Recently, I was told the doctor’s last appointment is at 2:30 p.m. So instead of accommodating families, we’re expected to rearrange our lives around their limited schedule. In contrast, my daughter had her braces done with another dentist in the area and the entire process was smooth and stress-free. I regret not choosing the same dentist for my son from the start.
My son had Orthodontic service with Dr. Bui. We like his services and friendly and helpful staff. My son is happy with his teeth after he patiently went through many doctor appointments in several years. Hard work finally paid off. Thank you doctor Bui and staff.
Dr. Thien Bui and his doctors team did a beautiful job to fix my son’s teeth from having 6 mm overbite with only 3 front teeth to perfect alignment. Over 41 months treatment, we consistently received professional, kind and care from the doctors and the staff. Cost and treatment strategy were reviewed up front; unlike some other offices that I experienced in the bay area. Love the my son's teeth look. Strongly recommend this offfice to you all ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had a great experience with Dr Bui and his staff for the past ~3 years. They are very knowledgeable and good at what they do. The whole process was clearly explained from the beginning, and it went perfectly. Love my “new” teeth, thanks! P.S. I grew up with a dentist mom, so I must know what I’m talking about, right? 🤣
