I had two wisdom teeth removed by Dr. Nguyen back in March of this year. I recall the discomfort for me was minimal, especially compared with friends, family, and colleagues, as best I could gauge. And importantly, months down the road now, I have no issues, post removal. The doctor was great and his staff very professional & courteous.

I had a wisdom tooth extraction here last fall with Dr. Murthy. I came in first for a consultation, the doctor was very friendly and informative. I scheduled the procedure for the following week. They removed two teeth using numbing medication, the process was quick and painless, over in about 30 minutes. I felt quite a bit of pain after the numbing wore off, but the medication I was prescribed helped a lot.

I would give this place zero stars if I could. My experience at this office was deeply disappointing. I went in for a consultation to determine whether a biopsy was necessary, but the dentist seemed to have already decided I needed one before even examining the area in question. This was alarming, especially since my general dentist was fairly confident the spot didn't need to be biopsied --I was simply seeking a second opinion for peace of mind. From the moment the oral surgeon entered the room, the experience went downhill. He didn't introduce himself or even say hello--just walked in and asked why I was there, despite having received a referral. It quickly became clear he hadn't reviewed the referral or even the intake paperwork I had filled out. I even asked him if he had a chance to review the referral, and he said, "I have it here." I highly doubt he reviewed the referral. He began asking me questions I had already answered on the forms, which made it apparent that he hadn't reviewed the forms I completed. Throughout the brief appointment, he repeatedly cut me off when I tried to speak and came across as extremely rude, cold, and dismissive. I felt uncomfortable and unwelcome--definitely not how a prospective patient should be treated. What shocked me the most was that during the exam, he never put on gloves. This raised serious concerns about the sanitary practices of the office. After the exam, he left the room abruptly without saying whether the consultation was over or if I had any questions, or even saying thank you for coming in. A staff member came in a few minutes later--clearly confused--first saying she was there to schedule wisdom teeth removal (which had nothing to do with my visit). I had to correct her and inform her that I was NOT there for wisdom teeth removal. I also told her I wasn't given a chance to ask the Oral Surgeon questions and that I had a few questions. She told me she would be able to answer my questions. When I asked what the biopsy would entail, she initially described a completely unrelated procedure and later admitted she was mixing up information. While she was polite, her confusion only added to my concerns about the office's professionalism. At that point, I decided not to schedule anything and left immediately. I was a bit upset that I felt like I wasted money paying for a useless consultation, because there was no way I would be giving this office my business. I would also never refer anyone to this office--unless it was my worst enemy. I understand that dentistry is also a business, but it felt as though this office prioritized profit over patient care. It gave me the impression that procedures are recommended regardless of necessity. Thankfully, I later got a second opinion from another oral surgeon who was confident that a biopsy wasn't necessary and provided a calm, informative, and professional consultation. If you're looking for quality care in a welcoming, respectful environment, do yourself a favor and avoid this place and the grumpy, cold oral surgeon entirely.

Dr. Nguyen is fantastic! I got 4 wisdom teeth removed—2 last year 2 this year. Both times Dr. Nguyen was fast and efficient. I felt little to no pain. As someone who was very nervous about getting wisdom teeth removed (especially because I stayed awake throughout the removal) Dr. Nguyen and his team made me feel at ease. Would recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

Doctor Nguyen was amazing! I was super scared about getting my wisdom teeth out, but my friend recommended this place, and I'm so glad they did. It's definitely the best place for wisdom teeth removal. The doctor had them out in less than two minutes! The nurses were also fantastic. I highly recommend this place.
