    Was looking for a local dentist for my needs (cleaning, fillings, a tooth extraction) and found Dr…read moreChris. He is very personable and does his best to ensure the patient's comfort, and is also willing to share knowledge and take his time to explain the procedures when asked. There is also no wait time -- your appointment time is when they are ready for you. I had a tooth extracted, one of my bottom incisors, and he confirmed wit me multiple times to make sure I was aware of the results (having only three incisors would remove my bottom midline entirely); not because he doubted me, but because he wanted to make sure I would remain satisfied with my smile in the future after the extraction, and so I could make the most informed decision. I appreciate his proactive approach.

    I came in as a new patient to establish a new dentist after having moved and last saw a dentist a…read moreyear ago. I was glad to have been able to make an appointment within the week and didn't have to wait in the waiting room long. The dental hygienist got to taking x-rays right away and did a good job about not pinching my gums or cheeks too much during the process, which I know sometimes is a struggle. When Dr. Chris came in, there wasn't any niceties exchanged, barely an introduction. It felt very short, abrupt, straight to the point, and not conversational. I've always liked going to the dentist and felt comfortable at the dentist, but I can imagine for someone who doesn't like the dentist that this interaction would not have put them at ease or made to feel welcomed. I was told I had cavities and they were able to take care of them right away. Convenient for me not to have to come back another time, so that was great! What really threw me off was that during the process, Dr. Chris just announced out loud, "Time for a break!" And dropped everything and left the room with the hygienist. I was so confused and baffled. How could they take a break in the middle of filling my cavity?? I was stressing because I wasn't sure if he hurt himself and needed to go take care of it, if he went on a lunch break, or if something else was going on. I was left in the dark, figuratively. It felt like awhile before another hygienist came in looking for supplies when she asked if I was doing okay. I said I was fine and asked if everyone else was okay. She said that Dr. Chris needed to tend to an emergency with another patient momentarily. I felt a little better after knowing that. When he came back, I thought he would at least address his absence with something like, "I'm sorry for the interruption. I had to attend to an emergency." Or a, "Thank you for waiting." But instead, I got, "Okay let's keep going." As a healthcare professional myself, I understand the importance of transparency and helping manage expectation to help put patients at ease. A simple, "I will be back in a few minutes. I need to go help another patient" wouldn't have left me stressed out about what was happening and when/if he was coming back. We ended up getting interrupted again but this time I heard the other hygienist say, "I'm so sorry but I need you again." Dr. Chris said, "I'll be right there." And he left the dental saliva ejector mouthpiece in my mouth when he stepped out. I think he thought he'd be back right away so he didn't take it out but it ended up staying in my mouth so long I was so dried out and uncomfortable. I was tempted to remove it myself and honestly probably should have, but I kept thinking he'd be back any moment. Finally, he came back, again with no apology for stepping out. He finished up quickly and I was out. My mouth and tongue were still numb so it wasn't until the next day where I felt the grooves of the filling and I wanted it smoothed out. I called the office and they were able to get me in that same day. I was taken care of by hygienist Lynne and she was fabulous!! She was approachable, conversational, answered my questions, and checked up on how I was doing often. She helped me smooth out the rough edges of the filling so that it felt more seamless. She thanked me for coming in and told me to request her the next time I was in. I'm giving this dental office a 4/5 because of the timeliness of the appointments, the attentive hygienists, the cleanliness, and the good final product of my fillings. My major critique is just the bedside manner from Dr. Chris and the process of getting my filling. I'm hopeful and willing to give it the benefit of the doubt that it was just one bad fluke of a day. It wasn't bad enough for me to be turned away. I guess I'll see again at my 6 month appointment.

Lastly, Dr Tran seems very genuine, personable and down to earth. On a professional level, she seems knowledgeable and has gentle hands . When she numbed me for my filling, I barely felt a pinch.

I found dentist Tammy Tran in Foutain Valley dental care. from the positive reviews on Google, I was hoping I could finally find a dentist who would be able to help with my tooth. unfortunately, this will be my first and last time visiting this place. I spoke on the phone with them to explain my situation and they told me that the doctor can fix my crown at the price of $150. I decided to make an appointment to see the doctor. When I came to the office, I had already spoken with doctor Tammy on the phone. After they looked at my tooth without taking any pictures or X-rays, the doctor told me my tooth was broken. I told her I didn't feel pain nor was it bleeding. I believe my front tooth chipped off because of the tooth glue. She told me she will apply the tooth glue for awhile, and told me my crown was too thick which was why my tooth broke when I chewed on the seed. I told her my tooth was shaking and loose because I ate watermelon seeds. The doctor wanted to grind my porcelain tooth because there was apparently no problem with my tooth, just chipped glue. i didn't agree with her because the main reason i came to her office was for her to glue my tooth and make it stronger if she can. After spending less than 15 minutes with me to charge me, i was charged $150, yet my crown still the same and nothing was fixed. The only thing I received from doctor Tammy was making my tooth feel more hurt. As a doctor, she should explain the procedures clearly to the patient before doing it. otherwise if the doctor cannot do anything to help with the issue, the patient shouldn't be charged. the dentist told me my teeth was broken but still attempted to fix it without actually helping me. Why just "fix" my teeth a little bit and then charging $150 in cash only to leave my tooth to hurt even more and still shaky as before? i looked at the receipt they charged me and I didn't know about evacuation, Pat paid, Adj, and Pat port. the only thing I know that I agree to paid $150 for was to fix my crown but the doctor didn't finish or fix it. I hope my review can be read by the dentist and other patients will be treated better in the future

One of my healthy and complete teeth was ruined by this doctor and his team! They only care about how to make money from the insurance company! I had two teeth that needed crowns, but he reported 7 when filing the insurance application. No matter which one passed, it would be a profit for them! So my healthy teeth were approved by the insurance company, but the medical and nursing level was dismal, and there were countless adjurations! My teeth were swollen and bleeding, and I couldn't chew for half a year. After seeing the doctor for half a year, they told me that there was a problem with my teeth, so I recommended this another dentist to see you... Of course, the consultation at the agent he designated cost $250, which was not covered by insurance, and root canal insurance was not covered.

However, I found the pricing for ceramic crowns to be significantly higher than expected.

In my experience, comparable treatment can be found at a lower cost in nearby Newport Beach. Additionally, the office is on the smaller side, and parking is limited, which can make visits a bit less convenient. Sorry, Dr. Khan--your expertise is priceless... unfortunately, my wallet strongly disagrees. LOL
