I got my wisdom teeth taken out here and braces done by Dr. Nguyen. I started my process at 18, the whole purpose was to align my teeth although they were already straight. At 21 I got my braces removed and received the smile and teeth I always wanted! The doctor and staff were always so friendly throughout the 4 years! 1 year later with my retainers and everything is still going great 😊 Definitely come here you won’t be disappointed!
After years of treatment, my braces are off and my teeth look absolutely wonderful. I must say Dr. Nguyen and his staff are always friendly and knowlegeable, and they're not greedy for business like the big mainstream orthodontics. The reason for my long treatment was an impacted canine that grew far deep in my gums, and if I had any other orthodontist, I'm sure I would've lost that tooth. I have had stubborn teeth and problems all my life, but Dr. Nguyen is the most honest and caring orthodontist you'll find. He and his staff worked to ensure I felt comfortable, taken care of, and most importantly treated me as a person instead of a way to make money. If you or anyone you know needs to get braces, this is the place to go.
I've been taking my daughter here for around a year, and they are ALWAYS so helpful and accomdating! (as well as doing great work on her mouth). And talk about going above and beyond! My daughter's wire shifted and become quite uncomfortable last night: when I called today, they were closed BUT the dental assistant called me back, and came in on her day off to fix my daughter's wire. THANK YOU! The customer experience is fantastic!
Awesome place to get dental work done. The staff are caring and the Dr. was understanding. My major concerns were addressed because I didn't think I would ever be able to have straight teeth. They are also fast which I love because of my busy schedule. There's a very cute girl in the reception area as well. I hope once I get these teeth straightened out I get the confidence to at least ask her out.
1st off a like to say that it is very important how people treat my children and make them feel especially when they are working on their teeth And this place is amazing! I was there for 2 1/2 years with one of my sons that got his braces off before December 2019 and now I am here again 2nd time with doctor Dr Nguyen and his staff, My daughter is needing braces and the care and detail and compassion and friendship that we have built with this office is amazing not only is he helping my daughter have nice straight teeth😁 but he also wants to make sure that her straight teeth don't look funny on her 😳(yes that can happen) and really just explained all of the things that would make it as successful Process. my daughter and I are super comfortable there during the pandemic, And I suggest anyone looking for a friendly comfortable setting for their children to get braces to come to this office.
