I've learned with dental care you usually get to pick 2 out of these 3 options: 1) Quality Care 2) Good Price 3) Low Wait Times / Customer Service I'm glad to say with Dr. Pham, you get to have all 3 options. My mom was referred here from our general dentist for a complicated root canal. Mom does not have dental insurance and Dr. Pham's pricing was very reasonable for our case. My mom was very happy during and after her consult. Here are some standout categories: Covid-19 Sterilization process: -Dr. Pham's office takes CVD-19 sterilization and precautions very seriously here. There are never too many patients in the office and surfaces are constantly being sterilized. I observed the Dr. washing her hands after touching any surface during her consultation with my mom. She is not taking any risks of exposure for the patients. -The office is kept very clean and spotless. Customer Service -Dr. Pham will listen to all of your questions and problems and give you her honest opinion on the best course of action for the patient. The Dr. is not trying to rush you in and out so that she can see the next patient. Every patient is given quality time and care during the consultation and during the treatment. My mom's case ended up being very complicated and took more of her time than anticipated and at the end, the only attitude I saw from the Dr. Pham was one of happiness that she was able to successful complete my mom's root canal. -My mom also raved that in her 40 years in the US, Dr. Pham was only the 2nd dentist to give her glare reduction glasses and provided a very comfortable experience for her. -Dr. Pham also followed up with us to make sure my mom was not having complications/pain from her procedure. I cannot emphasize how amazing our experience was at this office. In a city with so many dentists, Dr. Pham is truly a standout. I want to always make sure my mom receives the best service and our expectations were far exceeded here. read more

I had a disappointing experience during a root canal visit. The dentist came across as cold and not very personable, and I didn't feel there was much communication, compassion or reassurance during the procedure. At a couple of points, I was left waiting with instruments in my mouth for an extended periods while the provider stepped out of the room to speak with others at the front desk. The overall visit felt disjointed and took longer than expected. With what I was told would be as shorter procedure, extending to ar ound 2 hours due to interruptions between patients. I now understand what the staff meant by working between patients. I understand dental offices manage multiple patients, but I did not feel the experience of prioritizing patient comfort at all. Never ever come back or recommend to anyone! read more

I had a disappointing experience during a recent root canal visit referred by my family dentist. The dentist came across as cold and not very personable, and I did not feel there was much communication or reassurance during the procedure. At a couple of points, I was left waiting with instruments in my mouth so uncomfortable for extended periods while the provider stepped out of the room to speak with others at the front desk. The overall visit felt disjointed and took longer than expected, with what I was told would be a shorter procedure extending to around two hours due to interruptions between patients. I now understand what the staff meant by working between patients. I understand dental offices manage multiple patients, but I did not feel the experience prioritized patient comfort or communication. read more

I just have the root canal treatment today. Dr Vanthi Pham and her assistant are very professional and friendly. I would recommend anyone to Dr Vanthi. read more

Dr. Pham is awesome! I went to her to get a second opinion. I had a root canal three months ago on the East Coast and was having issues with it. I went to an endodontist in Koreatown and he told me I would need to have the tooth extracted. This was awful news and so I did a Google search for a USC-trained endodontist and saw that Dr. Pham had actually done some teaching at USC - my alma-mater! I scheduled with Dr. Pham and two days later drove 35 miles to see her. Unfortunately, Dr. Pham agreed that chances are, I would need to have the tooth extracted. But what I appreciate is she explained why she believed this was the best course to follow and what else could be done and the odds of its success (based on the x-ray she said there was an 80% chance my tooth had a fracture but she would need to perform another root canal on the tooth to see if that was the case or not and if she did it could cause other issues). Basically, if there was a fracture the tooth would need to be removed (I believe the root was somehow fractured - goodness knows how). Well, I'm down one tooth (extraction was Wednesday) and I did ask the periodontist if he could check and see if the tooth was fractured. He claimed it was and so I feel better about the decision of having the tooth extracted, though it does suck. I really appreciate Dr. Pham taking the time to meet with me and to answer all my questions. She's very nice. Now I'm looking forward to healing up so I can get a tooth implant! read more

Vanthi Pham - The Front Desk Area - Endodontists Near Me - Westminster, California

I was referred to Dr. Pham for a complicated root canal from my general dentist. I was extremely nervous because I had an unpleasant experience with my previous root canal. Dr Pham was extremely gentle and made sure I was comfortable during the procedure. Dr. Pham and her assistant Lucy were amazing! I was beyond impressed after the procedure because she was able to complete my complex root canal. My experience was super comfortable with no discomfort. She is very professional and very caring. Her office is very clean and updated. I highly recommend Dr. Pham for any root canal as she is a wonderful, caring, and professional doctor. She is the best dentist. Thank you, Dr Pham!! read more

I was referred to Dr. Vanthi by my general dentist for a consultation, and then root canal treatment. I was able to schedule a last minute appointment for an endodontist consultation, as I was experiencing sudden and excruciating pain. Lucy the assistant helped me with the paperwork, and Dr. Vanthi gave my consultation, and then scheduled my root canal treatment within 24 hours of the consultation without any difficulties! Dr. Vanthi is incredibly passionate about her practice, and it definitely shows. As a first-timer for a root canal, she talked me through the process in a patient-friendly summary prior to starting the procedure. Root canals have a stigma about crazy pain, but it wasn't any more or less comfortable than a regular filling. Dr. Vanthi made sure that I was comfortable, while explaining what had happened (cause and effect), what is happening (procedure), and what will happen next (next step, and proper care instructions post-treatment). She was delicate and diligent throughout the entire procedure. I am scheduled to see her for a follow-up and couldn't be more delighted with how great I feel after the treatment. I would highly recommend Dr. Vanthi! read more

Dr Vanthi and her assistant Lucy did a great job on my root canals I highly recommend her great job!!!! Very gentle!!!

Dr Vanthi worked with me to figure out my options when difficult issues confronted me regarding my root canal. For her it wasn't about the money but about what's best for me and doing the right thing, so I appreciate that very much. Her courtesy and professionalism was great too so I recommend her. Thank you! read more

After experiencing severe tooth pain, I was told at a checkup that I needed a root canal. Dr. Pham scheduled me in within the week. She was understanding, honest, and professional throughout. The root canal went very smoothly, and I did not feel any pain during the operation (I almost fell asleep at one point). I do not usually write reviews on Yelp, but I feel that this is a great way to thank Dr. Pham for accommodating me and finally ending my tooth pain. Keep up the great work! read more

Dr. Vanthi Pham was awesome. I had an appointment at 10:30, I arrived a little early and they were very accommodating. I didn't even have to wait just fill out some paperwork. Her assistant was wonderful too! I had a root canal treatment. Naturally, I thought it was going to be painful and was pretty nervous about it but turns out procedure went great! Not painful at all, pretty numb up. They also gave me a huge discount too! 10/10 would recommend! read more

I had a recent gum infection due to a missed root during a root canal performed by my primary HMO dentist....booo! After a few referrals and some bad advice I was thankfully referred to Dr. Pham from Dr. Mimi who I reviewed in another review. Dr. Pham was very pleasant and informative during my initial consultation. She did charge me a a hundy for this consultation but I was told it could be credited towards future treatment if I decided to go with her. She thoroughly explained the procedure and even warned me that on very rare occurrences, she may not be able to save the tooth and would charge me a much lower fee to cover costs of the exploratory work. BTW, the $100 consultation fee is also applicable in this case too. Well fortunately my procedure was a success and she did a great job, fully saving my tooth, cleaning up the infection and all in just about an hour. She even worked out a cash discount since my lame HMO plan wasn't accepted there. Honestly, not even sure if I went to an HMO entodontist that I would have gotten away much cheaper. I would highly recommend Dr. Pham. She's very nice and easy to talk to. Her office is not brand spanking new but it is clean. Thank you Dr. Pham! read more

I was referred to Dr. Pham from my regular dentist Dr. Nguyen due to my unique situation. I recently had an anxiety/panic attack and vertigo while in the process of a root canal procedure. So I needed a specialist like Dr. Pham who during my consultation along with her assistant Lucy explained what they needed to do to prepare me for the root canal procedure. They were both very calming and professional and explained exactly what they were going to do! On the day of the procedure my son drove me to the appm't so I could be relaxed and with their high tech equipment kept my mouth propped open so I Could relax during the procedure. I felt absolutely no pain and in fact was so relaxed I almost fell asleep which made the time fly by even faster as Dr. Pham and her Awesome assistant Lucy flawlessly completed a very difficult root canal that would of resulted in an abstraction instead if not successful! So I am so grateful and thankful for a job well done and with empathy for my anxiety which quickly dispersed since the procedure went so smoothly! Thanks again and I will recommend all my friends who need a root canal in the future! Tim S. read more

Great staff, amazing dentist, very attentive and truly cares for their patients. I came in for a root canal retreat. Everything went smooth and she has good bedside manners. Her staff is great and I walked out of there happy. read more

My dentist referred me to Dr. Vanthi Pham for a root canal job because it was a difficult case. My dentist normally can do it but she had to refer me. At my visit with Dr. Pham, she explained the procedure clearly to me before it was done, and also went over what she found and did afterwards. She proved that she is not only very capable, but she communicated well, and her manner toward me as a patient was excellent. She is a top-notch orthodontist. read more

Big disappointment for unable to clear with clients about the fee the the office will charge. The whole time i am in the office she never mention the total fee was over $1200. She whisper to me the feee was $335 and $648 if my insurance does not cover. And she clearly tell me to bring in the statement saying that the insurance pay her the amount that she told me. N now she said no, that is not the amount she talk about. Dr Pham, You NEVER told me the whole amount of $1298. I am not appreciative this at all. Be clear n loud. read more

I am the worse when it comes to anything dental. The sounds of the tools, the dental chair, everything and anything about the dentist scares me. Dr. Mimi referred me to Dr. Pham and both have definitely changed the way I feel about the dental office. I came in for a root canal and was very scared and definitely not looking forward to the procedure. Dr. Pham was informative, kind and very gentle. The ONLY pain I felt were from the numbing shots. If I had known she would've been so amazing, I wouldn't have waited so long to get it taken care of. Dr. Pham and Lucy (assistant), you are a God send. THANK YOU. read more

I was preferred here by my dentist, Dr. Thuy-Doung Tran who's also a good friend of Dr. Pham and gave me a great discount since I had Medical and they would not cover a root canal. Dr. Pham personally gave me a call and said she would try her best to help me with the payment. The staff were really friendly and caring. They took my x-rays and made sure I was comfortable every step of the procedure. Dr. Pham was really informative about how the procedure would be done and made sure I didn't feel any pain. After the consultation, you can either go through with the procedure or hold off. If you don't, it's $100 but if you do go through with it, the $100 will go towards the procedure. The root canal took about an hour. And they offered me Advil for the pain. And I would need to go back to Dr. Tran for a crown. She explained the aftercare and a follow through that will happen in 6 months. read more

My experience with Dr. Pham is wholly positive. She was professional and highly skilled. She explained the procedure to me fully (re-treatment of a root canal) beforehand and then told me everything she found afterwards. She was very patient even though the procedure was more difficult than previously planned, and fit me in urgently because I was having pain. Please go see her if you need an endodontic procedure! Hopefully I never have another root canal, but if I do I would definitely go back. read more

Dr. Pham is an ultimate dentist. She puts her patient first. She is ethical and honest. We are lucky to have her as our dentist.

Dr. Pham is smart, ethical, and always treat patient with utmost care. She has integrity and not money oriented as are with many other medical professional. We highly recommend her without reservation. read more

The best root canal treatment I've had! Unlike other offices Dr. Pham and her staff were professional, informative, and friendly. When I had the consultation Dr. Pham explained to me why I would need a root canal and gave me choices of what I can do. I was also presented with a treat plan of how much it would cost so there is no hidden fees or charges. Everything is made very clear which helps so much when you're in a state of panic. I had the root canal done the same day and it was just so relaxing! They made sure I was comfortable before starting and offered me a pillow and blanket, when I had the shots I surprisingly did not feel anything which is a miracle! After that I did not remember anything I was too relaxed I blacked out haha, just kidding!, anyway to sum it up it gets an A+++ in my book for an endodontic office, friendly staff, most welcoming and friendly Dentist I will defiantly come back and will be referring anyone I know that needs a root canal here! read more
