Six months later Dr tran send the insurance a 300 bill for teeth cleaning after I paid over 200 out of pocket. I WILL NEVER go inside this business again. Second time this has happened. read more

This is my second time here and proud to call this Dental office my home. The Doctors are so kind and also knowledgeable. They always treat my kids with care and give the best opinions for dental care. Continue the great work and customer service Indio Modern Dentistry. read more

Has our semi annual dental visit to day. Dr. Tran and his staff are great. Very friendly and competent in their work.

This dental office exceeds expectations. Dr. DeWenter is an excellent dentist. Not only is she good at her craft, she is a very empathetic listener and seeks to get to the root of dental issues. Outstanding! I hope this kind of treatment continues as I would like to have found my permanent dentist rather than just the next one in line. read more

Staff are very friendly. I like how the doctors explain things to me. I was able to go in for an emergency root canal. Only thing is that I needed to complete several appts to complete the process from start to finish. Guess I was spoiled from past dentist who did it all. I think I will be going to the Palm Desert office as I've heard that they have the better technological equipment than the Indio office. read more

What a great office! Dr Alex is so nice and gentle. He was able to explain to me each step of my treatment and make sure I was comfortable the whole time. The whole staff is friendly and professional. I will definitely come back and tell my friends and family to come here read more

I don't recommend this practice for a number of reasons. I missed my last appointment because I got sick with COVID and when I called to rescheduled they informed me I had to pay a $50 deposit because over the span of several years I had to rescheduled three times. Every time I rescheduled it was with previous notice and only once did I miss an appointment, because I got sick with COVID. I've never felt so insulted. It is quite ironic that they take such stance, specially when I've never been seen on time for my appointments. They are always running late, at least 15 minutes. On one occasion I was seen almost an hour after my appointment time. I understand the doctor's time is valuable. And so is mine. I'm sure I can find another dentist who doesn't treat the patients with such apathy. read more

Be really careful who you see here. After Dr. DeWenter left I was handed off to a few newer dentists, one who tried high pressure sales tactics then stomped off when I wasn't interested, and another who's technique was so heavy-handed on a crown repair that I'm still in agony 4 months later. Having lost a crown, she assured me the tooth was still fine and began to replace it, but repeatedly dug into my gum line, complaining about her tool being too dull and then the core build up material not working as it should. My teeth, gums, and jaw have been in hell over 4 months now. They handed me a pretty heavy script for Norco then ignored all requests for help via phone and email. Luckily, another area dentist who was very caring and perceptive helped to shape the crown with an artist's eye, which initially provided some relief. However, my entire gum line is still highly sensitive from the rearmost tooth where the issue was, to the front of my jaw, and has never been the same since her many digs and repeated attempts to place the new crown. I like to give new people a chance but this person was not only lacking in skill but a sense of concern to match. Be very careful whom you trust to work on your teeth, the pain can be forever. read more

Put simply and succinctly: an an amazing(and stress free)dental experience. And yes, it begs the question: is this really a dental office? The vibe and alacrity and effervescence of the staff is truly edifying--and they truly make you feel important. And they listen to your concerns. So yes: it truly belies any other dental office I have been in. It all starts with Jennifer at reception. This gal knows her stuff--and makes you feel WELCOME the minute you come into the office. It is truly refreshing to get this sort of greeting. I then got a meeting with Dr. Tran to access any concerns or questions I had--and this is before any exam. Just a meet and greet! Have never seen this done before--and I absolutely LOVE IT! What a terrific way to greet a new patient. Within 5 minutes of our meeting--heck, maybe even two minutes--I knew I had found my new dentist. His ethos of caring and professionalism came off in spades--and he made me feel special as a patient. And then I got the requisite X Rays and got seen by Dr. Tran within 10 minutes! My experience here: revelatory! Professional and full of acumen--and explained my current dental needs in salient detail. And again: Dr. Tran took the TIME to listen to my concerns on some of my dental options. Bottom line: the whole dental experience was a salubrious one. And has me feeling very, very good about moving from old Dentist to Dr. Tran and Indio Modern Dentistry. I will update this review afterI have a crown put on my tooth in a few weeks. But I will be shocked if that doesn't go well. It really does seem like a dichotomy: a dentist who cares and takes the time to inform and enlighten you on your dental needs. And does it with an unabated sense of compassion and empathy. Go figure. read more

The friendliest staff I've ever encountered at a dentist! They even try to squeeze you in when it's a pressing matter. Pay as you go is a nice feature when paying cash. 5/5 stars :) read more

Went in a little nervous about getting my first crown. The front desk (jennifer and silvia)are sweet and helpful. After talking with Heather (the hygienist) and Dr. Tran I realized how smooth the process of getting a crown and a deep cleaning the same day was going to be. I got to watch the Dr design my crown and get made in the machine on the same day. That's what you call MODERN TECHNOLOGY. Yeah it costed a little more, but it saved me the second visit and getting a plastic temporary put it. It's nice to have found an office where everyone is so knowledgeable and friendly. I recommend this office. read more

I got a crown at Indio Modern Dentistry. I was treated like I was a widget on an assembly line. The doctor cut into my gums during the procedure. (13 crowns, and no dentist had ever done that ON PURPOSE.). He didn't once ask how I was doing during the procedure; he just chatted with the other doctor and dental assistants about his upcoming weekend at the Coachella Festival. The doctor didn't bother to match the color of my tooth. He made a guess on color and popped in a gray, dead-looking crown. I'm going to have it redone by another dentist. And the icing on the cake was when the office manager yelled at me in front of the entire packed waiting room about canceling 2 dental appointments. Which, I then informed her, the dental office had actually cancelled themselves. Probably the doctor decided to go to the Coachella Festival that day. read more

Paty, the cheerful dental hygienist did my cleaning. She was gentle, caring and really did an excellent job. All the personnel were awesome. They take time to explain stuffs to their clients. Dr. Tran and Dr. Kim are both highly recommendable. read more

I will never go here again. I do not recommend anyone to go here. I was charged for services I was not given an option for. I was over charged. I disputed. I sent the EOB. The only response I recieved was that they were right. No further explanation to my disputes. read more

You need to do one thing today. Call Indio Modern Dentistry and make an appointment with Dr. Tran. Trust me he funny! After a thorough exam he will recommend treatment. From there you choose what you want to do. If you are anything like me Dr. Tran will recommend Kelly Wagner to take care of you. I needed DEEP scraping and excavating. Kelly was the woman for the job. She knows her way around tools. Kelly worked in my mouth and I did not feel a thing. Albeit I was numb like a...(you know what I mean). Kelly did a great job. BTW-they are really close to Sun City. Now pick up the phone and call. Your teeth stink. read more

I believe Doctor Tran is wonderful. He listened to my concerns and explained to me exactly what was needed and completed everything in one visit. I highly recommend you to see him for all your dental needs. read more

This review is my opinion and my opinion only, and based upon my own experiences. I've tried so hard to like this practice, but this is now the second time I've decided to not use them any further. Based upon the "demands" of the dentist, Dr. DeWenter, I am required to have two dental checkups per year or they will not allow me to have my teeth cleaned. I spoke at length with Dr DeWenter several months ago about my anxiety with dental visits. I like Dr. DeWenter, but my concerns have been ignored. When I spoke with the office manager, whose name I will not use, I told her I was fine with one checkup with x-rays per year and two cleanings but she told me that wasn't allowed. After 69 years, I think I know a good routine for me in regards to my dental care. The office manager was unbending and no compromise or accommodations were offered. When I told her there are a lot of dentists that do not require two checkups per year and that I could go to one of those, she replied with an uncaring, "yes you can." It is my opinion that this seems to be a typical practice of many dentists...... they want to get the patient in a chair as often as possible to bill the insurance companies as often as possible. The office manager seemingly did not care that I was leaving their practice and that was truly disappointing. My concerns didn't seem to matter and losing a patient was more important than trying to accommodate the patient. I've tried to like them, I really have, but I am not going to have unnecessary dental care forced upon me and be forced to pay extra co-pays when I don't believe it's necessary. Again.....This is my opinion based solely upon my own experiences. read more

While I was walking into this clinic, I was skeptical, but as soon as I was approached by Dr. Tran, I felt relieved and immediately knew that I was in good hands. I was referred to Dr. Tran by a patient who had previously come for a cleaning and I will be forever thankful for this referral. Doctor Tran meticulously and carefully examined every tooth to ensure that they would be in immaculate condition. After my visit at Indio Modern Dentistry, I have concluded that I will be coming back due to the amazing customer service and professionalism of the staff. read more

This clinic is amazing. If you're looking for a dental office in the area, Dr. Tran and his team will take great care of you. Everyone at this clinic was friendly and professional. A friend of mine recommended this office, I called to make an appointment and they were able to accommodate me and get me in that week, since I was visiting from out of town for about a month. I was able to get my xrays, check, a cleaning and a couple of fillings done all in one visit. Everything was smooth and all steps were explained to me. Could not be happier with my experience. Thanks to Dr. Tran and his team for a wonderful visit. read more

INCREDIBLE. The best dental office I've ever been to,and I've been to many. Dr. Tran personally comes out to greet you, and is so thorough and clear in his explanation and diagnosis. Jennifer and Sylvia at the front desk are welcoming and friendly. You won't go wrong in choosing this very new office. read more

Dr Tran was awesome! This was the most legit Dentist office I have ever been to in my life! Unfortunately my actual tooth was a difficult one, however, Dr Tran handled his business like a Champ! I would recommend anyone to go to this office. It was a well oiled machine! All the people were extremely professing and nice. From Lilly, to Jen, Irma, Aricelli and another Jennifer!! I can't believe that I'm actually excited to go to the Dentist! This is an EDIT! I had just written the review, and one minute later Dr. Tran called me to check how I was doing! Not because he saw the review, but because he calls his patients himself during his lunch time! I'm from LA, and have to say, most medical offices could care less about their patients. Still dumbfounded at how amazing my experience was! Once again, I had a cracked tooth, no other office would take me in so quickly, and now I am on the mend. With one tooth less, but at least IMD made it as painless as possible! Dr Tran is my Hero! read more

This office helped so much with my wife who had a bad root canal and needed it to be extracted. Dr. Toan Nguyen was so caring and gentle with her especially knowing she has had poor dental experiences before. I would strongly recommend this office for anyone who doesn't like the dentist. read more

I recently relocated to the area and selected IMD for my dental work and annual needs. I have been very pleased with the office, the staff and their complete positive energy. They are caring, fun and attentive to patient needs. Though I am just getting started with them, I would most definitely recommend them as most all respondents here on Yelp would agree. Nice job Dr. Tran and the staff at IMD! read more

I had a excruciating bad pain with one of my wisdom teeth and with all the COVID-19 stuff happening there was not very many options on where to go to I googled Indio Modern Dentistry and they had great reviews all around, I called receptionist who answered was extremely polite and happy to help. I made an appointment for later that day, I arrived on time again the front desk lady was extremely nice, welcoming, and wanting to help me. Dr. Tran was a wonderful doctor to go to! He didn't make me feel awkward or uncomfortable it was a very good environment to be in he wanted to help me with my problem and listened to me. I have already recommended him to all of my friends and I will continue to be going to the same dentist! Extremely happy, and satisfied with the service. read more

I highly recommend Indio Modern Dentistry! The staff is very friendly, helpful, and efficient. I've had various dental work done and all my procedures have been painless, no discomfort, and no anxiety. Dr.Kim and Dr.Tran always took the time to explain step-by-step what was to be expected before moving on. I was very impressed and grateful that I found the dentistry in the valley! read more

After many years (literally) of not taking care of my oral health, i decided to put my big girl panties on and take care of business. Being new to the area i had no idea where to go. I used Indio Modern Dentistry on a recommendation from my insurance company. I knew I needed extensive work and I was terrified.After meeting and consulting with Dr DeWinter, discussing procedures, costs etc I felt in very good hands. Dr DeWinter was VERY patient with me, allowing me to relate my fears, holding my hand between tears and reassure me that we would take this at my pace. I am thrilled to say that after 7 months of appointments I am all good to go. Office staff have always been kind and respectful, the office is very clean and neat as a pin (very important to me) and flexible on my appointments. I can't believe I'm saying this but I actually have a regular dentist now that I am not afraid to visit. These folks rock!! read more

Started going to Indio Modern Dentistry to try Dental Insurance. My first appointment I went in for a cleaning and they tried to up sell me but I told them I only wanted a cleaning and so that is all I got. Have always gone to the dentist every 4 months for cleanings. The hygienist was busy and so the dentist did my cleaning which was excellent. The second cleaning appointment the hygienist kept me waiting in the chair for 45 minutes and never apologized and did a terrible job! I asked if I could have another hygienist for my next appointment and they were having a shortage for hygienists ??? Then my husband went in for a cleaning and he had just one 4 months before at our regular dentist (before we got dental insurance) and the dentist told him he needed extensive cleaning over $600 (over& above the insurance cost!) but it was up to him and made an appointment for that. When my husband came home we called Indio Modern Dentistry and told them he just wanted the regular cleaning and cancel the extensive cleaning. The gal on the phone was extremely rude and told him that was not possible and by law they could now not do a regular cleaning and he had to have the extensive cleaning ! She kept arguing with my husband and so he cancelled his appointment. We will never go back to Indio Modern Dentistry! I hardly ever write bad reviews but please beware of this place. read more

I reluctantly made an appointment with Dr Tran because I had several teeth that needed attention. I say this reluctantly because I am terribly afraid to have dental work done, it scares me so much. However, when I walked into Dr. Trans office the lady at the front desk was very very friendly and made feel at ease somewhat, then I was called to go in to see Dr. Tran! One of the girls came in and did all of the x'rays and the prep work for the dentist. I sat in his chair waiting for Dr. Tran to come in to give me all the bad news as to what had to be done. A young man came in and there stood this nice looking young man introducing himself to me as Dr. Tran. I got excited inside thinking, wow he's young and new to dentistry making me feel good because he must be up-to-date on all the new things. He very calmly checked out my teeth and asked me what was most important to me, the cost, the appearance, and etc. Of course I said, all the above, he just laughed and said okay! In short, I was given a print out of the total cost of the procedure and he explained everything in full detail. He was straightforward with me which I appreciated and now I'm comfortable and ready to have the work that is needed to make my gums healthy and my teeth look good. So far I'm ready to put my teeth into his hands and trusting of Dr. Tran to do this! GREAT DENTIST!!! read more

For someone who doesn't like going to the dentist, this office, on every visit, makes sure I am comfortable, at ease, and always takes care of me.

The staff at Modern Dentistry have provided me peace of mind in knowing that I am receiving the best quality care. After my first visit I am very impressed with the way I was treated and I look forward to coming back. Dr.Kim went above and beyond to make sure I was all taken care of. He was quick yet very meticulous. He explained everything very well, showed me images and models, and made sure I understood what was going on at all times. The best part was that my procedures were painless! The staff is welcoming and supportive. I couldn't have had a smoother appointment thanks to Jennifer, Nancy, and Dr.Kim. Thank you! read more

Finally a nice experience at the dentist. I'm new to the area and I needed a root canal so I decided to go to Indio Modern Dentistry based on their reviews. I am so glad I did! Their staff is friendly and put my nerves at ease. I loved how they talked me through the process and they numbed me up real good! Phew! Painless root canal! read more

After waiting to receive both Covid 19 vaccinations, I made an appointment with my dentist at Indio Modern Dentistry in Indio, California. We were very happy when we came to the desert and found this dentist. It had been over a year and I was excited to get checked. I arrived for my appointment and was greeted by a woman at the front counter. We were wearing masks as requited. She had me fill out some medical history on a tablet and return it to her. I had entered the data, but it did not keep it and she helped me to enter it again. When we completed the history, I asked why there were no Covid questions. She then started the Covid protocols at the office, first taking my temperature and then asking some questions. I had already been in the office for 15 minutes! I then asked if the persons seeing me were vaccinated. She laughed and indicated not necessarily. That seemed dangerous, to allow someone to put their hands into your mouth that may be infected, asymptomatic and no testing. I expressed my desire to have only vaccinated persons come into the room to see me and put their hands in my mouth. This included the cleaning and x-ray staff as well as the doctor and assistant. She laughed some more and spoke to another woman staff member who also laughed! I do not want the possibility of spreading this to my 84 year old mother or others that have not been vaccinated. At that point she suggested that I leave the office, I told her that when they changed their protocols for Covid, to contact me, then I left. It was apparent to me that this woman thought Covid 19 is a joke, although more than 500,000 dead Americans would suggest otherwise, not to mention the rest of the world! If persons who want more than the MINIMUM required are laughed at, then it's time to look for another dentist provider. I realize that not all people will want this type of care, however, when it is asked for, it should be exercised as there is no associated costs. I wonder if the dentist knows they are losing customers due to office staff behavior? read more

Update to my first review. Please note that this review comes from someone completely afraid of the dentist. The deep cleaning was done with care. My hygienist talked me through the whole procedure and was very kind about my nervousness. She did a spectacular job There was very little pain at all and I am excited to have a fresh start from years of neglect that I caused. I also had one of my wisdom teeth extracted and this brought me the most fear of the experience since I had teeth pulled before and it has given me nightmares. My dentist provided me exceptional care and made sure I wouldn't feel a thing. I truly couldn't believe how fast it was over with. I feel like this whole experience has allowed breathe a sigh of relief and will allow me to make sure that I no longer neglect my teeth since this team is so easy to work with I have nothing to fear in keeping things maintained. After all is said and done I would definitely recommend this place and I am happy I have people I can trust. read more

They arbitrarily take the dental codes and provide expensive upgrades without patient discussion, approval or consent. Once confronted, they indicate there is no longer a Patient-Dentist fit while the staff stickers through the discussion. Not recommended. read more
