PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Tran just completed a crown for me and everything went smoothly, painlessly and no adjustments were needed for the crown fitting. I have been seeing Dr. Tran for my dental services since early 2018 - from cleaning, filling … to the crown, I have no complaints. She seems to make her work easy. Dr. Tran and her staffs are professional and efficient, friendly, and easy to talk to. Unlike other dental offices, always prompt with appointments - I never have to wait for more than a few minutes after arrived. I am happy that I chose Dr. Tran as my dentist when I first moved here and needed one.

I have gone to Dr. Tran for a few years now and I only have great things to say! She and her staff are very friendly, Dr Tran is easy to talk to and I dont feel shamed or guilted into extra procedures compared to a few other dentists I've seen. Routine cleaning appointments are quick and I've never had to wait more than 5 minutes after my arrival to be seen. Definitely recommend!

If you want a delightful experience at the dentist (really?) from a very competent dentist, go here. I cannot say enough to describe how efficiently and with sincere concern for your comfort Dr. Tran works. Her outcome is the best I have ever had: a crown where the temporary fit well with no weird edges, then the permanent that was perfect without needing any modifications. Not my usual experiences with other dentists! Oh yeah, her charges are very reasonable to the point of forgiving the portion my insurance would not cover.

When my son broke his front teeth while cycling, Dr. Tran did an amazing job giving him two beautiful porcelain replacements. I did not hesitate when it was my turn who needed care. As a senior, I'm pretty sensitive to pain. Dr. Tran is both skillful and gentle my two sessions with her went by fast with NO pain. I was pretty happy! I have now two well fitted new crowns that feel like my original teeth! For someone who paid out of pocket, I can say that her fees are very fair and reasonable. Dr. Tran of New Leaf Dentistry is a caring, experienced professional who is always there for her patients. I highly recommend her! Angela T.

Dr. Tran has been my dentist for years and I love her. She is gentle and caring and I have never waited more than 5 minutes to see her. She gives you honest answers and is very accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about her. My husband and daughter see her too and they love her like I do. If you are afraid of going to the dentist go see Dr. Tran. She is amazing!!!!!
