The dentist was nice. The staff was nice. All the equipment was very new and modern. The office played good music. BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My experience was not so great. I had to wait 2 hours from 12pm until finally seen by the dentist at 2pm. Granted there was a dental emergency in the room adjacent to mine, I am not rating based on the long wait for a medical emergency. I bought a LivingSocial deal for an xray,exam and cleaning. I am the kind of person who wants a teeth cleaning every six months in order to maintain good oral health. However, after 2 hours, when the dentist finally sees me, he cleans my teeth for a literal 10 minutes, IF EVEN, and then he's done. No sound of manual scraping of any sort and he only used his other cleaning tool on me for just the very edges near my gum and not between my teeth.. Once he said I was done,I asked for a mirror and showed him where the plaque was still visible and he finally went at it with manual dental tools in order to give me a proper cleaning in the area that I pointed out. However, I can't see the backside of my teeth with their mirror so I couldn't verify if he cleaned well enough behind... When I came home, my teeth didn't feel as clean as they usually did after a proper cleaning and the backside of my teeth still has plaque. This is the WORST cleaning service I have ever had. Not thorough at all. I will know better than to come back to the office and stray away from my regular dentist even though she charges twice as much as the LivingSocial deal I had (around 60). read more

I would like to thank the team here for Dr. Henry Tran and also front desk Derek. They have been an amazing since I have been coming here since last year and they have accommodated all of my dental needs. The doctor is very straightforward and knowledgeable in his field and I absolutely trust him. Thank you read more

As a child, I had an extremely traumatic first experience at the dentist. I had a molar ripped out by a newly graduated dentist, without being numbed. Therefore and rightly so, I am terrified to have anyone go anywhere near my mouth. However, I will let you know that I will entrust Dr. Nguyen with my dental care any day. He is knowledgeable and reassuring. And he teaches me all the necessary advice I need to best maintain proper dental hygiene. I have been seeing him for my dental work for a few years now, and I have found myself to actually voluntarily want to go in and get a cleaning. And that is a big deal for me. His work is great. And his staff are great as well. I highly recommend this office. read more

The dentist practices conservative dentistry and is gentle, respectful and thorough. Staff and dental assistant were very professional. Super clean and caring environment. read more

Before I begin, to those of you looking at reviews to potentially do business here -- the poor reviews for this place look like they may be about the Oral surgeon across the street. So read carefully! I had never been to this dentist before this morning, but I can say without a doubt it is one of the best dental offices I have ever been to. The clerks were friendly, the hygienist was extremely thorough and Dr. Nguyen was more than willing to work with my budget. I had a cleaning, X-rays, two fillings, and Dr. Nguyen made a custom ceramic cover for my front tooth. I was paying cash and I only paid $835 for almost 3 hours of the Dentist's time. Dr. Nguyen even waved the cleaning/X-ray fees so that I could get all of that work done today. Definitely will be back. Definitely recommend this Dentist and his team. My teeth look beautiful - thank you so much, Park Blvd. Dental! read more

I've visited about 4 different dentists in San Diego via Groupon-type deals, and so far Park Blvd Dental is the best. The office is small but immaculately clean and everything looks nice and new. The front desk receptionist was very friendly. The hygienists and the dentist were nice but not overly talkative which is fine with me - I'd rather not chat while I'm getting my teeth worked on. This is the first dental office that did not try to upsell me on expensive and unnecessary procedures, which was much appreciated and is probably the main factor bumping them up to #1 in my book. I just can't trust a medical professional if their advice is based on profits. I deducted one star for the fact that the dentist wore his mask over his mouth only, and I could feel & smell his breath coming out of his nostrils. Please, wear your mask over both mouth and nose! read more

Dr. Tran is a awesome dentist! He is cool, and funny and talks to you a lot and makes jokes. Very gentle and very good.

Dr. Nguyen (who is at the Park Blvd. office) is the best dentist I have ever had. He is patient, meticulous and does fantastic (pain free) work. The office staff is pleasant, friendly and professional. I have gone for routine work and for emergencies - and Dr. Nguyen and the staff have been considerate, responsive and kind. For the first time in my life, I actually look forward to going to the dentist! (And after the amount of dental work I have had, that is saying a lot.) Highest recommendation! read more

I purchased a living social deal after reading the good reviews on this office. I'm new to the area and have no dental insurance. I have to say, while the office was a little hard to get a hold of (I used the number on living social versus calling the number listed here), I had a great experience. Office was clean, nice location, friendly and I'd go back when I need work done I did however wait almost 30 minutes to be seen once I was in the office. Hygienist was good however she only did a polishing and took x-rays. She said that the doctor would be in with his assistant for the cleaning. He used a vibrating pick to clean my two front bottom teeth due to a stain from coffee he mentioned. However I never actually got a plaque cleaning on all my teeth or a flossing. Seemed a bit different compared to my old dentist. So really, for the price I paid, it wasn't bad since $39 got me a polishing, small plaque cleaning on two teeth and x-rays. Dr. Menna was definitely a nice old grampa and the receptionist was great. No one tried to upsell and they did let me know costs to do a little bit of minor work for the future. read more

I bought the GroupOn for teeth cleaning and x-rays. It was a great deal but I already went into the appointment knowing that if I needed any real work to have done I'd go back to my normal dentist (just looking to save a few $$ since I don't have dental insurance). Dr. Menna said I should have all four of my wisdom teeth pulled (which I was expecting to hear and not surprised about) but what did surprise me was that he wanted to pull them right there in his office. I said I didn't have the money and needed to come back. I went to my regular dentist and he was floored that Dr. Menna would have suggested this. He said "it would be hard for me to do which means it would be torture for you." Glad I went with my gut - I was refereed to an oral surgeon for the removal by my other dentist. two stars for the following reasons: - They really are impossible to get in touch with - odd office hours. - Once I did get in touch with them it took my other dentist and I at least a dozen tries to get my xrays sent. When they did get my other dentist's office they were blurry. - Advising for a major procedure in their office with just Novocaine rather then giving me options and telling me what would be best for me and my comfort. - Dr. Menna announced his retirement a week after going there. Had I let him pull my teeth this would have made follow up appointments a really pain. - Clean office and nice staff. This added a star! read more

I love this office and the environment. It's very quiet and the two times I have gone I was the only patient there. The receptionist is very friendly and the Dr is very calm and easygoing. The whole experience is peaceful. I even had to bring my three-year-old son and the staff tolerant of having him and even gave him a little prize. The price is reasonable too. If you want a peaceful experience this is a great dentist office. read more

Dr. Menna is definitely the BEST dentist I've ever met. I first bumped into his office because I found this coupon for teeth cleaning on living social and the service was great. The staff were caring and he took good care of me. Not like some other doctors just want you to spend money and leave. He truely cares about his patients with his heart. Today, I called him because my wisdom tooth has been killing me. I was in pain for the past 2 days and the gum was swollen. He was off today but he was willing to go to the office and see me 2 hours later. He also gave me great discount because I dont have insurance at the moment. Just a very nice, genuine grandpa kind of guy. Would recommend Dr. Menna! read more

I've been to many, many dentists in my life and have had uber extensive work done. Dr. Tran and his staff were incredibly kind, thorough, talked me through all the options and even offer payment plans! That's not typical (and I should know). And I wish I would've gotten the dental hygienist's name - she's quite the multitasker and very efficient!! I went in for a routine dental exam and xrays and knew there was other work to be done. They didn't try to up-sell, weren't pushy, and they let me in the office before they opened (thank you for being early - I love that!). I would recommend having the new patient paperwork emailed when the appointment is made just to make it easier on the staff. I don't mind filling it all out when I get to your office, but it's nice to have it ready (and have my own record when I log into your website). I highly recommend this office!!! Plenty of parking too!!! You won't be disappointed! Thank you Dr. Tran!!! read more

The staff and physician were kind, efficient and fast tracked my insurance to get me the help I needed. I am NEVER comfortable in a dental office, but.... this group was the least painful EVER. I highly recommend them. read more

I've only been here for one visit (a general check-up), but will definitely be coming back. The front desk staff was helpful every time I called and I finally went in for my appointment. Office was clean and organized and machines were all up to date.. Dr. Menna is a sweetheart and made me feel completely comfortable. Only complaint is that I am having a hard time getting a hold of the office staff right now to confirm an appointment. A little frustrating. read more

Dr Tao Nguyen is without a doubt the BEST DENTIST I have ever had! He's extremely knowledgeable and you can tell that he genuinely cares about his patients. I needed a lot of dental work done recently and Dr Nguyen was able to take care of all of it and it was PAINLESS!! 10/10 would highly recommend!! Very grateful for him and his wonderful staff! read more

Has anyone actually been able to make an appointment with this place? We've called about 20 times this week (not exaggerating) - the people taking the calls kept saying "they are on lunch", "they are closed wednesday & thursday", "no one is available to take your call, do you want to leave a message?". TERRIBLE read more

I have been a previous patient of Dr. Menna before Dr. Tran took over the practice. So far so good. The front desk team are amazing and friendly. Dr. Tran is helpful and gives good advice. Dina the hygenist is my go-to for all my cleanings. She does a great job, is patient, knows what she is doing, and has a good touch when it comes to those deep cleanings. Thanks for keeping my teeth healthy. read more

I will definitely be back! Everyone in the office was friendly and thorough. What really impressed me was the bedside manor that I received not only by the dentist but his assistant Raquel. I had gone in for a cleaning and exam but walked out feeling like a million bucks! The dentist went the extra mile by filing four of my front teeth. I had fallen as a child and hit my teeth on a shopping cart. It took as little as 5 mins. To repair something that had bothered me for years! read more

Had a great experience with this dental office, Henry Tran. The wait time in the waiting room was non-existent. The staff was friendly and courteous. The service was as expected and knowledgeable. They were very considerate with follow up appointments and payment options as I have no dental insurance. Highly recommend. Easy, breezy. read more

Dr. Tran is the best! He gives you his honest opinion and tries to save you money. The staff are super nice and will get you emergency appointments promptly. So if you looking for a great dentist and won't break your bank, this is the place! read more

Had a killer cleaning here- with their ultrasound tool- my teeth haven't been this clean in ages! The doctor is a super soft spoken gentleman. Quick, efficient and affordable..Highly recommended! read more

I came for a cleaning through a Groupon offer and I loved it! The staff was friendly, the area was pretty, the dentist was timely and knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Definitely recommend and will surely be back :) read more

I've never left a Yelp review, especially a 1 star. I always think of that South Park episode. It feels like such a DB thing to do. Usually I would just quietly take my business elsewhere, but I really don't like how this guy rolls. My experience echoes Sara A's almost exactly, and even though Dr. Tran claims Sara reviewed the wrong business, I don't believe she did. But if she did, the other dentist's M.O. bears a striking resemblance to how Dr. Tran operates. My dental health history is well documented. I have always taken care of my teeth with regularly scheduled cleanings, x-rays, and exams. I went to my previous dentist for nearly 10 years, the one before that for 4 years, and I've visited several other dentists as needed over the years. None of them diagnosed any serious problems with my teeth. I moved to San Diego in 2016 and needed a new dentist. I found Dr. Henry Tran on my insurance's website. His office was close to home and in-network. Even the reviews were good. The only warning sign? Sara A. "Meh," I thought at the time. "One of those 1 star reviewers from South Park." Then I made an appointment. Dr. Tran conducted a brief exam and proceeded to tell me that my teeth were in terrible condition and needed immediate treatment. A lot of treatment. Expensive treatment. Ongoing treatment. He claimed I was suffering from periodontitis disease with severe bone loss, gingivitis, and cavities. He continued on in this dramatic fashion with an expressionless gaze as he described the bleak future that inevitably awaited my teeth. Naturally, I asked him why my trusted dentist of 10 years failed to notice any of this. Dr. Tran said he couldn't vouch for the expertise of a dentist he didn't know (Yeah, OK. Fair enough, bro). The fact remains that Dr. Tran claimed, in effect, that my dentist is incompetent. He'd have to be to miss all the problems Dr. Tran claimed I had. For 10 years he didn't see what took Dr. Tran 30 seconds to diagnose? I didn't buy it. I went to another dentist in San Diego for a second opinion. That dentist did not agree with Dr. Tran's diagnosis. I was assured my teeth were in good shape and that I was taking the proper measures to ensure their continued heath. For my next dental appointment, I went back to see my regular dentist. He too confirmed my teeth were healthy. Fast forward to November 2017 and I was back in San Diego needing another cleaning. I obviously had reservations about visiting Dr. Tran's office again, but I appreciated how helpful Jenna was during my first visit, and I also really liked the tool they used to clean my teeth. The office being right next to my apartment sealed the deal. I called and scheduled a simple cleaning and nothing more, hoping to avoid Dr. Tran and his spiel. I wasn't so lucky. Dr. Tran once again told me how terrible my teeth were and how the cleaning they were about to do would have "absolutely no effect" on their condition. He said this without even looking at my teeth! He at no point asked me what had transpired in the 16 months since I saw him last. He had no interest if I had followed up on any of his previous recommendations. He didn't ask me one question. He just tried to scare me one last time. I acknowledged his exaggerated warnings so the cleaning could finally begin. This time, however, it was not the nice experience I remembered. The tool they used was different and the hygienist rushed through the entire thing like she had somewhere more important to be. She didn't even floss my teeth when she was done. I can't recall a cleaning where the hygienist didn't floss my teeth at the end. But I digress. If you decide to go with Dr. Tran, I urge you to view his claims with a healthy dose of skepticism. read more

Dr. Menna and his staff are so funny and personable, they can make a root canal seem like a distant bad memory. I first discovered this little gem of an office when I went there for a routine cleaning, x-ray and exam, and ended up having to have some endodonic treatments done. Dr. Menna worked quickly and efficiently to restore me to perfect health. I was up and about the very next day with little to no pain, so I would say it was a great success. read more

Dr Tran is a nice and gentle doctor. Ive been a patent for about a year and have no problems what so ever with his services.

10 out of 10! I don't have dental insurance so I was excited to find a "living social" deal for a dental cleaning and exam! The staff, hygienist and Dr. Menna were all wonderful! I would recommend them to anyone! They even have affordable pricing for additional services for those of us without dental insurance. On top of that, they sent a letter thanking me for coming in and welcoming me as a member of their practice....of course it was a letter I'm sure is sent to all new clients, but who sends letters anymore? Love it! Go see them! read more

Referred to this dental office through a friend. My first visit here was very pleasant. I was met with a very friendly Jenna, the receptionist. She smoothly processed my insurance prior to my visit and I had no problems afterward. I needed to do some fillings and some other things but that's besides the point. My overall experience here was great. The dental assistant, Sarah, was very sweet and Dr. Nguyen is a down to earth and professional kind of guy. That's what I like. Great job guys! Keep doing what you're doing! read more

Dr. Nguyen was great. He was nice and saw me as soon as I sat down and had my x-Rays done. The appointment was for x-rays, exam, and a cleaning. It was quick and painless. Everyone was super friendly and nice. I was in and out of there within an hour. I was nervous because I hadn't gone to the dentist in a little while, but Dr. Nguyen made me feel very comfortable. It was also very affordable! read more

They're awesome here! I love Jenna the receptionist and Dr. Nguyen is great! Very helpful:)

I love this dentist office. The girls are friendly and the dentist if honest, which is huge for me. I usually get anxious when I go to the dentist, but I felt right at home . I highly recommend coming here! read more

I had a great first experience here. The whole staff was so friendly and efficient. I bought a cleaning/exam/xray deal on Living Social and wasn't sure what to expect - I feel that I got an excellent cleaning and personal attention. I will definitely make this my regular dentist! read more

First I want to say I love this place the staff is very great, made me feel comfortable my first time I haven't been to the dentist in years so gone in there was very scary but the positive vibe that had talking to me put me at ease for those who are looking for a great dentist and a comfortable feeling environment I would just go there and see for yourself read more

Dr. Nguyen was great. I came here for a teeth cleaning (I was way overdue) and he was gentle and thorough. My teeth feel great. It was a quick visit. My appointment was at 9:30, I arrived at 9:15 and was in my car ready to go home by 10:10. read more

I have a great experience with DR Nguyen. He didn't try to overbill like some dentist are known for. Him and his STAFF are excellent. quick and fast. read more

I've been coming here for about a year and every time I do, it's always the same outstanding customer service when you arrive, efficient and top notch service provide by Dr. Nguyen and his staff. I like getting my teeth clean and come about every 2.5 months. If I could afford it I'd probably go every month. That being said, Jenna is amazing and super friendly and does her job with pride. The office is super clean and parking is never hard to find. Overall I enjoy coming here because they're just super cool and always nice. read more

I am happy to find a dentist that is competent and trustworthy. Dr. Tran is both. I have been to other places, but often they are more concerned about recommending work that may not be essential for you. Dr. Tran told me his recommendations, but did not force them on me. We have insurance, so the prices are reasonable. Because it is just a 3 person operation, it seems like a great place to go if you are a cash-paying patient because he can be more flexible with your payment and prices. This is my inference anyway. read more

I have had a wonderful experience with Dr. Tao Nguyen. I had a dental emergency that required immediate attention . I was able to be seen right away. The procedure was explained to me in detail and pictures were taken of my teeth, that I could view on the screen. It was very cool! Sara, the dental assistant made sure I was comfortable and cared for during my procedure. Jenna, the front office person was very sweet and answered all my questions. I was also able to use my care credit card. I would recommend this dentist to all my family and friends. read more

BEST Dentist in the world! He's very gentle and truly cares about your feelings. He'll tell you like it is and not try to nickle & dime you. I am completely horrified about going to the dentist. Just the thought of going to the dentist makes me sweat & nervous. He's pretty cheap too. $60 for cleaning. I got my wisdom teeth pulled out for $125. I don't have dental insurance so I pay cash. read more

I was referred to Park Blvd Dental by my aunt and I will say Dr Nguyen was very thorough with my teeth cleaning and was very concerned about why and how I should care for my teeth to prevent future problems. My teeth feel great and I will definitely be returning! Thank you Dr Nguyen! read more
