On April 9th, Georgette performed my cleaning; she was incredibly knowledgeable, courteous, and ensured the entire process was completely pain-free. I returned on April 15th to have a few cavities filled by Dr. Rachel. I was very nervous about the drilling--especially since one required removing an old filling--but Dr. Rachel and her assistant were fantastic. They took the time to ease my nerves and made sure I was thoroughly numbed. I didn't feel a thing! Going to the dentist is usually stressful for me, but this team made it a breeze. I'll definitely be back!

We have had…read morea couple of cleanings and treatments performed and Dr. Baker and his staff are very knowlegable and skilled. We received exceptional service and the quality of the office staff is very good. A couple of things to note is that Dr. Baker and Dr. Mortensen are under different tiers of Delta Dental PPO. Be careful when choosing so you don't pay more out of pocket depending which doctor is treating you. Also, the communication could be improved. Many times we have called during office hours and left messages, but they never get returned unless we try calling back again. Had one of our family members also reach out online as a new patient over a couple of weeks ago, and no one has responded. Also was told someone from billing would call back regarding a claim and they never did until we reached out. This worries me since we are new patients.

Before my appointment was over, she had Dr. Khan examine me to see whether braces or Invisalign would be a better option for me.

Finally after 4 years of thinking about it I finally consulted at a few spots. Serene Smiles Dental was my last stop to get another opinion on it and make sure the quotes I was getting elsewhere was within the same price range. What made me ultimately decided on this spot to go through with my treatment was how knowledgeable and kind everyone at the office was. Dr. Phu was the one that did my consult, Christine was the one that that helped me with the price break down and helps with my scans and the a kind gentlemen did all of my other scans. They weren't pushy, they told me that I could take the price breakdown home and think about what was going to be best for me either paying in full, payment plans and/or insurance. Glad I decided to do one last consult here. Love the space and loved the team. Would recommend to all of my friends or family. Also wanted to note, I decided to do the suresmile aligners!

I called the day before and they were able to squeeze me in the next day at 12pm. I arrived early to fill in my forms and they were able to bring me back right away. Very straightforward and clean office. My hygienist was Lynn (spelling?) and she was FANTASTIC. So incredibly thorough and my mouth hasn't been this clean in months. She really took her time and went back to some areas multiple times to make sure she got everything. Highly appreciated and highly recommend her. She even took the time to teach me about proper brushing techniques with an electronic toothbrush. She did show me their recommended whitening trays but there was never any pressure to buy anything. I felt like I was the office's only concern the entire time I was there. After the cleaning, Dr. Chris Nguyen came in for an exam and to address any concerns I had. He was happy to answer any questions and very honest. I'm so glad I found this office and can't wait for my next cleaning in 6 months!

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.
