My 6 year old had an adult molar drilling/ filling done this morning. Dr Nhu and her assistand were amazing with my daughter. She explained what she was going to do in terms that didn't scare or worry my daughter at all which helped her be able to stay calm through the entire thing. Dr. Nhu is so sweet and amazing. Also very informative and preventative.

We have been seeing Dr. Tran and the team for over 10 years. They are true professionals, great with kids, thorough and knowledgeable. My youngest has some initial fear and it was immediately put to rest and they made her comfortable and happy. Highly recommend Dr Tran for all pediatric dentistry needs.

Me and my family are long time patients of Dr Tran. Her and her team have the upmost patience and kindness out of any other dentist we've ever been to. They make patients and their families feel relaxed and extremely well taken care of.

Dr. Tran and her team are incredible! Couldn't dream up a better dental experience for my kids. Compassionate, reassuring, gentle, thoughtful and thorough. My daughter loves going in to get her cleanings and check for "sugar bugs". When she ended up needing a couple of fillings she was made comfortable with laughing gas and a movie on the ceiling. I would not only recommend but would encourage you to send your kids to see Dr. Tran.

Dr. Tran is so gentle, understanding, and kind while getting the (sometimes not-so-fun) job done. I like a dentist who explains everything, provides advice and options, recommends treatments but isn't too pushy -- Dr. Tran does all that and more! Not only is Dr. Tran great, but her office staff is super friendly and the hygienists all do a great job, too.

My daughter was VERY nervous to get her first filling this morning. Dr. Tran showed incredible empathy, slowly explaining each step, and she did her absolute best to make my daughter comfortable. What could have been a traumatic experience was actually quite pleasant and I know my daughter will be less stressed the next time around. Thank you Dr. Tran!

We love Dr. Tran and her entire staff. They are all positive, professional, and constantly make each of our children at ease and welcome in the office. I also think it's important for parents to know, Dr. Tran is very conservative in her treatment. I appreciate her making us are of areas to watch, but not jumping to do unnecessary work.

I'd give more stars if I could! Dr. Tran and team have some magical talent! - Dream team. I've never seen my 3 yr old cooperate with any medical professional like how she did with this team! They adapted to the situation seamlessly and executed everything efficiently. Highly recommended - Knowledgeable, practical and efficient - excellent patient AND parent experience!

Dr. Tran is a phenomenal pediatric dentist. She is kind, caring and meticulous in her work. She puts the children and parents at ease with her compassionate manner. I am a dental professional myself and am so thankful for the care my son has received at Dr. Tran's office. The entire staff is wonderful. Highly recommended!

Dr Tran is truly amazing! My 6-year old son had several cavities that needed fillings. Dr Tran and her team were so friendly, attentive, and accommodated my son's every need. They set him up with his favorite movie and put a special pillow underneath him to make him comfortable. Dr Tran explained what she was doing every step of the way to my son in language he could understand.

She asked if he had any questions. During the procedure, she removed his headphones (to the movie) multiple times to make sure he was doing alright. She spoke in such a calm way and her demeanor was pleasant and encouraging. Following the procedure, my son got to pick several prizes for being so good. I also just received a call from their office asking how he is doing since his treatment was about 5 hours ago. Dr Tran and her team are top notch! This mama is beyond impressed and I highly recommend Dr Tran to anyone in search of an extraordinary pediatric dentist.

We had another wonderful experience with Dr Tran today with my 4 year old twins this time. My twins were very apprehensive and uncertain to get their teeth cleaned and both were crying in the room. Dr. Tran advised us to step out and take it from there The entire team as well as the amazing hygienist are amazing. Thank you Dr. Tran and the entire staff for your outstanding work, care and patience to our kids.

Dr. Tran is a one of a kind pediatric dentist. We are beyond grateful to have found her! She took extra special care of my son this morning. She showed such kindness & compassion, I knew we were in safe hands. I was almost brought to tears because of her gentle manner & loving way with my 8 year old. The staff is just as amazing. I couldn't recommend this office any more highly. If I could give them 10 stars I would!

Dr Tran and everyone in the office are amazing with my daughters. They are 5 and 9 and have been coming to Dr Tran for about 4 years. Unfortunately both my girls have had to have quite a bit of work on their teeth but they still love coming in to the dentist. They always make them feel comfortable.

Dr. Tran is an incredible pediatric dentist! She has been my kid's dentist for over 15 years and even though we moved over 30 miles away.we still see her. My daughters have special needs and she is wonderful with them. I couldn't ask for a better dentist!

Was nervous to bring my 16 month old in because I knew there would be some crying involved but the staff as well as Dr. Tran were beyond amazing and exceeded my expectations beginning with the very first phone call I made to the office. Everyone was so friendly to my daughter and really helped to ease her worries during our visit. She was smiling and even enjoying her time in there by the time we left! We had a great first trip to the dentist and look forward to our next one! Thank you to the staff and Dr. Tran!

This was our first time into this office and both of my kids first time into the dentist. We were warmly greeted by Donna at the front desk, then greeted by the dental assistant Cinthia who brought us back and did the cleaning and X-rays. She was SO good with my boys. Her calm demeanor and sweet presence made this first experience one to remember. Dr. Tran came in and was just as sweet and accommodating. The process was quick, yet thorough. We were all happy when we left and would recommend this place to anyone with kids. See you in 6 months!

I would like to follow up that they just now processed my reimbursement. It took many months, dozens of calls to both the insurance and dentist, but it has finally been resolved. As frustrating as it all was, and time consuming, I am very pleased that they followed through.

Dr. Tran and her caring and attentive staff are awesome! Dr. Nhu Tran is a wonderful pediatric dentist. I took my daughter here for a routine cleaning and to set-up a filling that was obvious to me on her molar. I was so impressed by the calming nature of her back office staff. My daughter made herself right at home watching Frozen and relaxing in the comfy dental chair while Cynthia cleaned her teeth. Dr. Tran then diagnosed that indeed she would need a large filling. Dr. Tran took the time to explain to me in detail what would be involved and answered all of my questions. Donna in the front office worked with my schedule to get me a great appointment time.

She then called me several weeks before the appointment to see if I would like to bring her in early. On the day of the filling everyone in the office put my husband and I at ease with their care. On every level Dr. Tran and her staff went above and beyond. I would highly recommend Dr. Tran and her wonderful office staff, so much so I will be scheduling my youngest daughter here for a cleaning.

I have been taking my daughter (11 years old) to Dr. Tran for quite a few years. My daughter used to be so paranoid about going to the dentist but now she actually looks forward to her visits. Her cleanings are always fun and believe it or not her appointments to have fillings taken care of are always just as good. The staff is ALWAYS friendly and Dr. Tran will just tell you exactly what needs to be done.nothing more/nothing less.

When my daughter fell off of her bike and chipped a chunk off of her front tooth, Dr. Tran matched the color and shape perfectly! Considering that those types of fillings seem to not last as long as fillings on molars, she has done pretty well with this repair. YEY! Thanks to all of you.

We recently moved to the area and had to find new dentist for my kids. I researched online and found Dr. Tran conveniently close and was in-network for our insurance. When I made the appointment, they took all the information and directed me to where I could fill out forms ahead of time. This saved SO MUCH TIME instead of doing it in the waiting area while trying to manage little ones! Donna who works in the office was so pleasant.

I did not have to wait at any of the 5 appointments I've made over the past 2 months. My kids loved Dr. Tran! They have movies to watch during their visit and a video game station to keep the little ones busy while Dr. Tran reviews any suggested treatments. Truly, the best part of their office was the follow-up. I received a call after the treatment visit asking how my child was feeling. Very caring place - I highly recommend them!

WORST DENTIST EVER! If I could give zero stars, I would. Took my son to see Dr. Tran some years ago because we lived in the area. He was left completely traumatized by the experience. For years we struggled with him to get comfortable and trust a dentist because of it. Finally! He now has a fantastic dentist who he is at ease with, and who was able to fix the work Dr. Tran was responsible for. She could be a good dentist, but in my opinion, shouldn't be working with young children. Go elsewhere!
