    Dr Wu is the best Orthodontist here in Elk Grove…read more I have had 3 kids get braces here. And they do not dread going there. As an adult Dr Wu has helped me as well. Coordinating with my oral surgeon and helping me with a favorable outcome.

    I was referred to Dr. Wu by my son's pediatric dentist. After reading all the positive reviews, I…read moredecided to bring my son here. We've been patients for a little over a year now, and unfortunately we've had to come in multiple times for "emergency" visits because bracket fell off, wires came loose, or wires were poking my son. Most recently, my son's wire came off on a Friday night. Since we already had an appointment scheduled for Tuesday, I just had him use wax until then. At that Tuesday appointment, the dental assistance informed us that the wires were cut too short, which is why the wire came off the bracket. However, later that SAME day, my son told me the wire came off again. I called the next morning and thankfully they were able to get us in right away. As the assistant explained the situation to Dr. Wu, his immediate reaction was to blame my 9-year-old. He asked if my son had been pulling on the wire or ate something hard because, according to him, "there's no way" the wire would come off on its own without excessive force. I was honestly shocked and upset that his first instinct was to blame a child instead of considering that maybe the work done the day before was not done properly. Not to mention the day before his dental assistant said that the wire came out due to it being cut too short. So which is it?? The wire can come off when it's cut too short or it requires excessive force for the wire to come off?? I reminded Dr. Wu that we had just been there the day before for the exact same issue. I asked why his first reaction was to blame my son instead of questioning whether his staff may have made a mistake. He immediately became defensive and said his office sees "many, many patients" and they never have issues. I explained that this was not the first time we've had problems with my son's braces and that we've already had to come back several times due to brackets or wires coming loose. What bothered me most was that even after I questioned him, he still blamed my son again and confidently said yes when I asked, "So you're blaming my son for this?" It wasn't until I continued questioning him and pointing out the repeated issues that he gave what felt like a very half-hearted apology. He said he would "look into his protocols" and that he's not "above admitting" when his staff makes mistakes. Dr. Wu ended up fixing my son's braces himself that day, and I immediately noticed he spent much more time and care working on them than the assistant did the previous day. At the end of the visit, I asked if moving forward Dr. Wu could personally work on my son instead of the assistants. His response was simply, "It doesn't work that way." No explanation, no reassurance, nothing. Overall, I found Dr. Wu to be rude, dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional in the way he handled this situation. As a parent, it was upsetting to see a grown professional immediately blame a child instead of taking accountability or at least approaching the situation with more care and professionalism. My son may need braces again in high school once all his adult teeth come in, but we will not be returning here.

    My daughter has been a patient for well over 2 years, it was estimated that she wear braces for up…read moreto 2 years. No explanation was really given as to why it's taking longer, they just keep scheduling follow-ups. Makes me wonder if it's cause they want to just bill our insurance. If that really is the case I will be furious, don't make my poor daughter keep her braces on longer for more $. What I am most upset about is their appointment reminder system admittedly had a glitch and a reminder text which I am use to getting was not given for her appt. that was scheduled 2 months ago! If it is their system that failed then we should not be billed, period. I tried to fight it because it really isn't right but the office manager demands I pay because a fee was already waved for a previous missed appt. which might I add was due to an emergency. She was also trying to tell me what she does to remind herself of appts. which is ridiculous, telling me that's it's my responsibility to remember and they give reminder slips which should suffice but from 2 months ago, really?!!! I am getting greedy vibes for sure and can't wait until my daughter gets her braces off, I would never go back here for my other daughter or refer anyone to go here.

    Dr. Lauritzen and staff go above and beyond to make my child's experience and smile the best!read more

Going through my before and afters was a very proud moment for me! Dr. Chad was extremely patient with me throughout this whole experience. In the middle of treatment I moved to San Diego and then San Francisco and he was able to see me on random weekends/Saturdays when I was in town. He also went above and beyond to personally send me my new trays, keep in contact with me so I could show him my progress, and send me home with a generous amount of chewies and other necessities during Invisalign treatment. Thank you Dr. Chad for sticking with me and being patient throughout my journey! It's been a fun ride and so well worth it.

I have good insurance and I got the ceramic braces elsewhere and never paid anything extra out of pocket. My son got the metal ones and it didn't cover? How could they miss calculate that amount of difference. Just a warning for anyone to double check before they put braces here and not end up with this surprise.

Based on my experience with a hand full of dentists in the past, I can confidently say that Tony Nguyen, DDS, and his staff are at the top of the list when it comes to patient care. His chair side manners are impeccable. I have never had an experience where the dentist has been so professional. It was clearly apparent that his utmost priority was customer satisfaction and a positive experience. Whether it comes to patience, listening, caring, communication skills, or quality of work, Dr. Nguyen and his staff have earned my confidence and trust as a grateful patient.
