Dr. Duong is wonderful. Between himself and his care team, they do a wonderful job from check in to the actual work. The establishment is impeccably clean and quaint. I've had Dr. Duong as my go to dentist for over a decade. His work is very thorough, gentle and he has a wealth of knowledge and experience under his belt. No one likes going to the dentist but I love seeing Dr. Duong. I am also very glad to see his business thriving through the years in a very private small practice, as compared to larger corporations and other places with poor accommodations. Dr. Duong's office is special. I highly recommend him to everyone!! read more

Dr. Duong has been my dentist for over 10 years now. He is honest about your dental needs, does not oversell your care for a profit and is extremely friendly and personable. I started taking my daughter to Dr. Duong when she was 6 months old and that was almost 5 years ago. He is incredible with my lil one, is able to navigate her dental health at level that provides her comfort and with a desire to look forward to her next visit. My husband is now a patient of Dr. Duong's, I refer anyone looking for a dentist or not. The office - Dr. Duong and staff are incredibly professional, friendly, knowledgeable and attempt to ensure you maintain a routine dental schedule which is amazing for me as a busy mom. Melissa is a constant fixture in Dr. Duong's office. She is extremely friendly, helpful with scheduling, will follow up with cancellations and rebooking, provides accurate information on payments and insurance types. Melissa is the assistant to Dr. Duong for all of my daughter's appointments - when she can. The level of service, the quality of care and the human experience is what wills me to return.

Melissa ensures we have upcoming appointments to stay on track and helps ensure my daughter's experience is welcoming and comfortable each visit with Dr. Duong.

You have found the dentist for you. read more

I am writing to formally express my concerns regarding the dental services provided by Dr. Duong during my visit as a first-time patient. I scheduled an appointment for a standard new patient package that was to include a full cleaning, X-rays, and a comprehensive exam. I paid $400 upfront for these services. My primary reason for booking the appointment was due to discomfort in one of my back molars. While X-rays were taken and an exam began, Dr. Duong spent approximately an hour and a half discussing unrelated matters specifically issues with my breathing, which I never raised as a concern. Because of this extended and irrelevant conversation, there was no time left for the cleaning, and I was told it would be performed at a follow-up visit for an additional charge. At no point was my painful tooth properly examined, and I left the office without receiving the core treatments I paid for. My husband, who had an appointment directly after mine, experienced a nearly identical interaction his teeth were only partially cleaned, and he too was subjected to a lengthy, unrelated discussion. Together, we paid $800 for visits that failed to deliver the advertised or expected dental care. I believe this pattern indicates a concerning practice that appears designed to prolong appointments with non-treatment discussions, delay services, and generate further charges for incomplete work. This experience was both frustrating and disappointing. While I was able to recognize the issue and move on, I am genuinely concerned for other patients in the community especially elderly individuals on limited incomes who may not realize they are being taken advantage of. Following our visit, I consulted with another dental office, where I was informed that what occurred at Dr. Duong's office was not in line with normal or ethical dental procedures. I strongly urge others to be cautious and I respectfully request a review of these practices. read more

This is the best dental office! Everything he uses is quality, the staff and Dr. D are very friendly, knowledgeable, and very efficient. So thankful, to have this dental office...I trust them fully and believe in the quality of Dr. D Dentistry. Highly recommended!! He isn't pushy. His staff respects him & the way he treats his team & demeanor shows he truly cares for his team. (I've heard stories about other DDS & even heard things myself) and he does have a lot of passion for Dentistry. read more

I wanted to return to update my review regarding my issue with insurance. I later learned that my employer had never submitted my documents for insurance causing it to not be active. It was activated and charges submitted were paid retroactively. It was nothing the dental office did and I'd like to apologize. I do feel they should inform patients they are out of network. But I guess that's up to the patient. read more

Andy Duong is very good at what he does! He does an amazing job!!! Price is very fair! Office is always clean and very welcoming to children!! Him and his staff are very sweet and knowledgeable.. my kids love coming to the dentist with me. Dr.Duong was able to help me close my gap which was very affordable compared to getting braces. I am very happy with my final results!! I totally recommend going to him for any dentist work that you need. He is very knowledgeable and he takes his time explaining to you what kind of work he will be doing etc. I referred my mother to him and she absolutely loves coming to him because he is very gentle and he knows what he's doing. You won't regret it. read more

Andy P Duong, DDS - Before photos of my gap - General Dentistry Near Me - El Sobrante, California

See all

Scheduled a new client appt for my mother. They waited till an hour before we arrived to verify her insurance. Turned out it was one they didn't take, so they took it upon themselves to cancel her appt. When we arrived they told us they had canceled her. I said we would just pay out of pocket. They said they had booked someone else in her spot so we would have to reschedule. New appt was for Dec 23rd. Called them on Dec 14th because I had to reschedule (nine days notice). Rebooked for Dec 30th. Called them today, Dec 28th (full 48 hours notice) because we had decided to get her different dental insurance but it wouldn't be effective till Jan 1st so I wanted to reschedule again. I was put on hold for a while. Then someone, I assume the office manager, got on and told me that all this rescheduling was unacceptable and that they would reschedule her one more time but if I reschedule again I would be banned. She was condescending and rude and I didn't deserve that. I am always extremely polite and respectful to others and I expect the same in return. Now, I have been a client based industry for 27 years. I can tell you from experience that clients reschedule, sometimes multiple times. Never in all my years have I spoken to a client like that for needing to reschedule. We are all doing our best to juggle a million things and rescheduling an appointment is a perfectly understandable thing to do, especially with over 48 hours notice. In addition, If I double booked a new client, and had to turn them away when they walked in, their next appointment would be free. At the very least, they would leave with an armful of free product. That's how I do business. But I guess at Dr. Duong's office, it's acceptable to turn an elderly, disabled woman away at the door because you didn't feel like waiting to see if she would still want to be seen sans insurance, then threaten to ban her when her daughter needs to reschedule the appointment that wouldn't have needed to be rescheduled in the first place if they hadn't turned her away at her first one. read more

Great office took care of my dental needs quickly and thoroughly. Now my wife, son, and I are regular patients here. read more

Andy P Duong, DDS - Clean teeth - General Dentistry Near Me - El Sobrante, California

Awesome Dentist! Dr. Duong is very professional and gentle with his patients. I am a very picky patient when it comes to going to a dentist. I admit that I am a procrastinator and haven't been to the dentist for years and Duong definitely did an awesome job on my teeth. He even cleans my teeth for me and even had a deep cleaning which I always hated because it hurt so bad every time. When Dr. Duong did the procedure, it was by far way better than my other dentists I had in the past. The environment and equipment that he uses is top notch CLEAN and professional grade stuff. The great thing I love is that he is even avilable on weekends which is great for me since I'm a workaholic during the weekdays. I parked my car on the street, and they even went out to feed my meter for me during my procedure for free. That's customer service right there! Here's my final rating: Quality = 10 Cleanliness = 10 Convenience = 10 Care = 10 Recommend to friends? = YES read more

Great care all around. Dr. Duong is very thorough and the staff are always on top of their game

Dr. Duong is a wonderful dentist! I've had trust issues with dentists over the years from bad experiences as a child and young adult. I have none of those issues with Dr. Duong and highly recommend him. His facility is spotless, the staff is wonderful, and I really can't say enough good things about him. He is patient, kind, and explains everything he will do very clearly. When someone who has been traumatized by dentists can laugh during a deep cleaning, I think that deserves TEN stars. Plus, he did a great job. Thank you Dr. Duong! read more

Unlike my previous dentist, Dr. Doung takes the time to explain in detail any procedure that he's considering and he's happy to answer any questions. He also emphasizes making the dental visit as painless as possible. My whole family is seeing him now and we're so happy to have found him! read more

He has helped 2 of my kids get passed being traumatized from a pediatric dentist. My 8 year old would scream and cry now she ask to go since her teeth dont fall out on thier own she has to get them pulled and she doesnt even flinch. My 4 year old had an infected tooth and slept through geting it pulled and a filling done. I 100% recommend dr. Duong for kids big and small. read more

Dr. Duong has been my dentist for years now. Smooth and relaxing demeanor, you'll feel at ease. Also great at explaining dentistry details, highly recommend. read more

Prior to visiting Dr. Duong's office I had a great fear of dental procedures. At reception, I voiced my concerns to staff and Dr. Duong assured me he would treat my dental needs accordingly. Dr. Duong went above and beyond to listen to my concerns, and his professionalism helped me overcome my phobia of dental procedures. I'm grateful for the help in overcoming the fear of dental work and now I can regularly maintain healthy dental hygiene which is very important to me and my families overall health. read more

Dr. Duong had been my dentist for several years before I moved away from the bay. He was always professional, but he was very personable. I always felt comfortable with asking him questions about my health, the work being done, the pricing and my range of opetio s before any proceedure. He is extremely knowledgeable and encourages questions. I suggest taking advantage of that fact when visiting him because it always made me feel happy about the decisions I made with him. I highly recommend him. read more

He has always filled my cavities painlessly and shows care when doing my dental work. He is also very accomodating to a busy schedule (he works on Saturdays!). Dr. Duong also provides very knowledgeable advice on how to take better care of my teeth. read more

This is the perfect start of a new beginning. Thank you fellow reviewers! Based on the ratings, I decided the reviews were convincing enough to book an appointment. Be advised this is a same day review and FYI same day reviews means all that and more because it also means that the experience was that good that it couldn't wait. I am so blown away at what an excellent dentist Dr. Duong is. He deserves more than five stars and I feel awful that I can't give him anymore than that. Dr. Duong is definitely careful, informative, gentle, knowledgeable and very very detailed, he over exceeded my expectations. I'm so relieved to have found a dentist I can call my own. Ironic how I can't wait for my follow up appointment. Usually dental visits are a nightmare, long, boring and dreadful. During Dr. Duong's preliminary examination for ortho work, Dr. Duong took a look at my facial/bone structure, x-rays, my teeth - the whole nine yards, it seemed as though he had envisioned what the end results would be, he seemed very excited and just watching that made me ecstatic. I can't wait to see what happens next week. I was skeptical about posting a review, I almost wanted to keep him all to myself. If you ever have a chance to read this doctor Duong, I just want to let you know how extremely thankful I am to have found you - thank you so much! Other things you may find helpful, the facility is located in the residential area of El Sobrante so you may miss it while driving down the road - try to avoid that. Dr. Duong is very patient, no rush to anything, absolutely no question goes unanswered, and procedures have literally no pain at all. Dr. Duong knows good quality service and that my friend is a plus! Yelpers - this is the ideal dentist, after just one visit I am very satisfied, it makes the visit to your dentist something to look forward to. read more

Dr.Duong and his assistant Melisa was fantastic! They are extremely professional, skillful and friendly. I visit for the first time for my teeth cleaning and I had never learned so much about dental hygiene and how to take good care of my teeth in particular. Facility is super clean and nice. I'm so glad I found them!! read more

My first visit to Dr. Duong was a couple of years ago for a cleaning. I was not aware of his office till I saw the positive reviews on Yelp. His offices is a few blocks away from where I live which is a plus. I have a slight phobia with dentists and needles and I saw someone had reviewed that they felt no pain when given novocaine from Dr. Duong. Dr. Duong is now my go to dentist. Friendly staff, clean office, pain free and Dr Duong is very helpful and informative. read more

Was the best experience if had. Very friendly staff and Dr Duong tells you everything he is doing before he does it. It was my first root canal and there was zero pain. I'd recommend him to everyone. He is the best! read more

Dr Duong has been my primary family dentist for the past 10 years. Best dentist I know and he works with you on a personal level, never just to push you through in and out like some other busier dental offices. He is very patient with you and your needs and your sensitivity level to pain. Never forces you to do unnecessary dental work and will give you advice on best practices. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. See for yourself! read more

Very good people in the office never made me feel uncomfortable. Dr Duong was the same way explained everything very well to me never made me feel like there was no hope for me gave me lots of options. Thank you for that. read more

I would be remiss if I didn't write a review for Dr. Duong. I found him when we moved to Richmond from Alameda. I've had a lot of dental work over my lifetime and lots of rough and not great dentists. I am pretty traumatized by dentists, even though in recent years I've had a couple of good dentists on the East Coast and here. But, Andy is a great dentist--the best I've had in my life. First he has all the latest gadgets and is up to date on latest techniques. He is gentle and very very careful and thorough. He is insistent on getting everything right no matter what the procedure. He gives good advice. Over this time of COVID, he has made it safe to see him when needed and has also made some adjustments to dental problems that let me delay procedures until times are better. He is nice, pleasant and the people who work for him are highly professional. You will be very happy if you choose this dentist! read more

Great service. I been coming here for years and was meaning to write a review and I finally got to it! Andy is great, very patient and attentive. Mel is great too, Nancy just hopped aboard and has great customer skills. I actually moved to Daly City but still make my trek across the bay bridge to continue my dental needs with Andy and the crew because of the amazing service! The price is affordable and service is great. When you find something you trust, stick with it. Jonathan read more

Dr. Duong is the most gentle, non-intimidating, compassionate, yet confident dentist who has ever worked on my teeth. I came in to see him for a root canal, and he did amazingly well with hardly any discomfort. For anyone who fears seeing the dentist, Dr. Duong will make you feel safe and well taken care of. Melissa and Lyn, his assistants, are also incredible. read more

Dr. Duong is an excellent dentist. He is very understanding and welcoming. He knows his stuff and even calls you after to make sure you're alright. Dr. Duong is passionate about his field and it's rare to see someone like him nowadays. I highly recommend him! read more

I went because it was convenient to where I live, and I will go back because of the experience. This was one of the easiest first patient appointments I have ever had. I didn't even have to wait after I filled out my forms - they took me right on. Dr. Duong is calming and gentle, takes time to explain anything I asked about, from costs to x-rays, etc. He showed me my xrays and explained everything for me. Lynn (Lin?) the technician was very patient with my inability to bite down correctly for the xrays, and she gave me the gentlest flossing and cleaning I've ever had. I highly recommend this dentist and his staff. read more

I come from a long line of intense dental history. I still have baby teeth, I have veneers and dental implants. Dr. Duong has always been thorough, kind and patient. I love his bedside manner and his attentiveness. I have never in my experiences as a dental patient (which have been since I was 2 years old) have had a better dentist. read more

The hardest thing about finding a good dentist is not just about getting someone good at their job but also finding one that cares and takes the time to explains things to you. I received a teeth cleaning and had a cavity taken care by him. He took his time with everything and let me know step by step what he was doing. He's very easy to talk to and I was not rushed or brushed off if I had questions. I highly recommend Dr Duong to anyone. Thanks for the great experience and your professionalism! For those of you scared of the dentist: What I found amazing was there was no pain/pinch when he gave me novocaine. I found out later this was one of his specialties for those scared of seeing a dentist. He asked on a scale of 1-10 how much pain I felt and it was a 1. He also has another method for you as well which I forgot what it was so ask him about it! read more

Dr. A. Duong. Is a great dentist. The shot he gives you before he starts working on your teeth does not hurt. No pinch. He is very easy on you. Dr. Duong is very gentle and caring. Sometimes he will even call that night to make sure your OK. Everyone that works there is very friendly. You need to try Dr. Duong read more

Dr. Duong took over an hour for my consultation visit to help me better understand my jaw clenching problem. He even referred me to two of his dentist colleagues for their opinions too. Dr. Duong went above and beyond for me when he could instead multitask multiple patients. After a few weeks of constant monitoring of my condition and customizing a hard mouthguard for me, I am able to cope with my teeth clenching. Thank you Dr. Duong! read more

I don't know how I haven't written a review yet. I would recommend Dr Duong to anyone!! I am so grateful he is my dentist, I've been to many other dentists and by far he is the best. He is very knowledgable about what he does and is very friendly! He also listens to you and cares about your teeth (: Also, they are called gentle dentistry for a reason, I always used to feel nervous going to the dentist but he makes you feel comfortable and is gentle with your teeth. read more

My friend referred me to Dr. Duong for dental needs a few years ago and I've been going to him ever since. I wish I have known him way sooner. He would clean my teeth so well and so gentle.

So happy to have found you guys. read more
