excellent, I drive over an hour for Dr Nguyen because finding a good dentist is hard. The girls at the front have always been very helpful. Not sure what was going on in 2016 but they aren't cold and rude now, and the other cosmetic patient who was unhappy - well people do get snotty when they don't hear what they want to hear (even if it is true, which with Dr Nyugen it was probably true)

I was referred here by a friend that loved her experience, but, I was disappointed. The doctor didn't listen to my husband who was trying to ask if he was eligible for cleercorrect. Dr said, no what you WANT is veneers (no he doesn't) and the receptionist is about the coldest rudest person I've come across in that position. I think he would do a good job but the office atmosphere and a doctor who doesn't listen, absolutely no thank you. The dental techs are sweet though!

Peter is a fantastic dentist who is incredible at pain management. My wife said she didn't even feel the novacain shot, while my daughter came home after a filling excited having been at the dentist's office.
That doesn't happen at just any office.
