Based on my experience with a hand full of dentists in the past, I can confidently say that Tony Nguyen, DDS, and his staff are at the top of the list when it comes to patient care. His chair side manners are impeccable. I have never had an experience where the dentist has been so professional. It was clearly apparent that his utmost priority was customer satisfaction and a positive experience. Whether it comes to patience, listening, caring, communication skills, or quality of work, Dr. Nguyen and his staff have earned my confidence and trust as a grateful patient. Thank you Bluewater Dental! -Marlon

I have to start with Stephanie, my dental hygienist, who is truly one of a kind. I came in today not quite myself -- I was in my feelings about something -- and without me even having to say a word, she immediately picked up on it, validated my concerns, and put me completely at ease the moment I sat down in the chair. That kind of emotional attunement is rare. On top of that, she is so gentle, so thorough, and so genuinely invested in her patients. She took the time to educate me throughout my entire cleaning -- giving me helpful tips on the best toothbrushes to use and explaining everything as she went. She never rushes. She truly cares, and it shows in every single thing she does. Dr. Gray is nothing short of amazing. His compassion radiates -- you can feel how much he loves his patients the moment he walks in the room. It's not something he has to say; it's written all over him. I am so grateful to be under his care. Yolande at the front desk is a gem. She is consistently warm, welcoming, and friendly every single visit without fail. That kind of reliability matters more than people realize -- knowing you'll always be greeted with a smile sets the tone for the whole experience. And then there's Harley, who I met for the first time today. I have to say -- she sealed the deal. I came in having a rough day, and her compassion, her warmth, and her beautiful spirit completely turned things around for me. I left that office smiling and ready to show off my pearly whites, and that is entirely thanks to her. This entire team is special. They don't just clean your teeth -- they take care of your whole self. I am so grateful for every single one of them. Thank you, again, IMAGE DENTAL!! Stephen Nozaki, Megan, You are all appreciated!!

I was extremely disappointed to hear from Image Dental again after years of intentionally avoiding…read morethis office. Yesterday, I received both a text message and an email stating that I supposedly owe $89.60. I called the office the following day to dispute the charge because neither I nor my family has been seen there in years. When I asked why I was only being notified now instead of at the time of the visit, I was told that they had recently completed an audit and that this balance had come up. This experience reminded me exactly why my family stopped going to this practice. During the time we were patients, we lost confidence in their recommendations because we felt pressured into dental work that we later questioned and believed was unnecessary. The overall experience left us feeling that treatment recommendations were driven more by profit than by patient care. Receiving a bill years later with the explanation that it resulted from an internal audit only reinforces my concerns about the office's billing and record-keeping practices. Patients should not have to worry about unexpected charges surfacing years after they have left a practice. I encourage anyone considering this office to ask detailed questions about recommended procedures, request copies of treatment plans, and closely review all billing statements before agreeing to treatment or making payments.

I have been a patient at Dr. Rosenbaum and Associates for roughly 20 years, which makes it…read moredisappointing to write this review, but the practice has changed dramatically and not for the better. Over two decades, I have seen more than 10 different dentists come and go. That level of turnover alone suggests there are internal culture issues. About 10 years ago, one dentist told me I had decay visible on an X-ray and recommended a crown. I agreed. After grinding my tooth down to a nub, he said to the assistant, "Huh, there is no decay." That procedure still cost me around $600 out of pocket even with insurance. I filed a formal complaint with the office manager at the time. That manager is no longer there either. In the past couple of years, the entire staff has been replaced. My longtime hygienist left, and I was assigned a new one. She was very young but polite and did a decent job. I would rate her about a 7.5 out of 10. The issue is not the individual staff members. It is the overall experience and direction of the practice. This office used to feel welcoming. Everyone knew my name, and I knew theirs. It felt personal. Now it feels like a corporate assembly line. Even the patient volume seems to reflect this change. Years ago, parking was difficult to find and the waiting room was full. Now there are plenty of open parking spaces and far fewer patients waiting. At every visit, they now require you to complete a full medical history on an iPad, even if you have been a patient for decades and nothing has changed. I found this intrusive and asked if I could opt out and simply notify them of any changes, especially since I was only there for X-rays and a routine cleaning. The staff member handing me the iPad rolled her eyes and walked away. Another staff member later told me they would not see me unless I completed it and claimed this was required by federal HIPAA law. After researching this myself, I learned this is their internal policy, not a legal requirement. In other words, I was misinformed. I would have absolutely disclosed any relevant health changes, particularly anything that could affect anesthesia, even though no anesthesia was being used that day. The interaction felt unnecessary, cold, and dismissive. After that visit, I canceled my next appointment and booked with a new dentist closer to my home. I am genuinely looking forward to a fresh start. It is unfortunate to walk away after 20 years, but this practice no longer feels like the place it once was.

I was charged $285.00 up front for my son's cleaning/check up and you assured my husband over the phone that you guys would bill our insurance and we would get the reimbursement for the cleaning/check up sent directly to our house from Delta. You did in fact do all of this, however, we were only reimbursed $147.00, due to your out of network status with Delta. Cleanings and check ups should be fully covered under my insurance, so paying $138 out of pocket for that is absolutely crazy. For people not familiar with dental prices, a cleaning and check-up at most dental offices for a patient with absolutely NO insurance typically runs $75-$200. Don't be us and learn the hard way, choose an in-network provider! I understand they're not trying to lose all of their clientele due to cutting off all the dental contracts, but I think you need to be more honest with people not familiar with dental billing and let people know much they will be reimbursed back. My husband was under the impression that we would get the full amount back that we paid up front based on your conversation with him. If you truly care about your patients/clientele, I highly suggest you start being more honest about the up front cost and how much will be reimbursed back by the insurance before seeing the patient. We would never have agreed for our son to be seen, if we knew the full details.
