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.

The staff was very understanding and still accommodated me when I was late to my first visit!…read moreEveryone from Dr. Mazi, the front desk receptionist Andrea, to Lori the dental hygienist was super nice to me. I had an annual checkup and cleaning done and I ended up being the last patient in the office to leave but still never felt like my service was rushed! Lori was very thorough with my cleaning and she talked me through each step to make me feel as comfortable as possible, and she gave professional advice for my hygienic care moving forward. Dr. Mazi was very knowledgeable and gave good advice about a potential issue with my tooth. Sometimes dentists can try to do extra things you don't need/upsell you things, but this wasn't the case here-his advice was for preventive care. There was also a bathroom in the waiting room area which was clean and convenient. The waiting room chairs are also very comfortable. As an HB local, I seriously cannot believe I somehow missed this gem of a dental place all this time!

As a fun bonus, after each appointment, you get to choose from an assortment of goodies like mini toys, stickers, floss, cups, and playing cards. The only minor downside is the parking, but that is not really their fault. There is heavy construction going on in the area, so parking can be limited depending on your appointment time. Just make sure to give yourself a few extra minutes to park!

For years I felt unheard or dismissed when sharing concerns about my dental health, with my worries minimized and the advice always reduced to "just brush and floss more." Dr. Ta completely changed that experience for me. She genuinely listens, prioritizes my comfort, and has an incredible gentle touch -- I never feel a thing, even through a root canal and wisdom tooth extraction! I also love the whole Ta family team. Christine at the front desk is warm, welcoming, and always makes sure I fully understand my payment options. Tracy Ta I believe also does my cleanings and creates such a judgment-free environment -- she never makes me feel bad about my flossing habits and does a fantastic job every time. Every single staff member has been kind and attentive across all my visits. I recommend Serena Smiles to everyone I know and can't imagine going anywhere else!

All three previous experiences left me with a lingering fear regarding dental care. However, this time was completely different.

Today was completely different . Dr. Steven J Nguyen treated me; he is a truly caring, gentle, and patient professional. He took time to explain for me ANYTHING that I worried about and I felt completely at ease with his work.

As a front desk receptionist at another medical office myself, I have higher standards for how we should treat patients. She's not a good choice for the first person people make contact with. The dentists I will say are very friendly and kind. They take their time and are reassuring. I'm giving this office this review because they told me that multiple root canals and crowns needed to be done on my teeth. I waited weeks for my insurance to get back with an approval and they ended up denying it. When I called the front office, they told me that I could call my insurance and appeal the denial. This was interesting to me because most medical and dental offices handle appeals themselves, especially when they submitted the request for it in the first place. They told me that if I don't or can't get it appealed, there was nothing else they can do to help me fix a broken tooth. While I know that insurance definitely denies necessary treatment at times, I feel that this case was a ploy to get more money from insurance. Multiple teeth my insurance said no treatment was necessary at the time and others could be fixed with a filling. Also, most notably, my partner needed a root canal under the same insurance I have, and his was approved because it was deemed necessary. I also sent my sister here before this all went down because of how kind the dentists were. She needed a second opinion on her wisdom teeth. This office told her she had 2-3 cavities when the initial office said she had none. Feels disingenuous and money grabby. None of us will be back unfortunately.
