Update.......11-3-24
I was seen by this Dentist, (Dr.Khai Nguyen D.D.S) because of a severe root canal procedure That was needed, diagnosed by my regular Dentist. I was diagnosed by my Dentist that I had a bad infection in the very back of my mouth, tooth #18, that was infected. The tooth also had a huge pocket, that was surrounded by a large main nerve that ran right in the middle of the infection, which complicated this needed procedure. The procedure/ surgery could not be done by a regular Dentist, so I was referred to a "Specialist". After researching with my insurance agent on the phone, we finally found someone that would take on the job. In Hayward California, Dr. Khai Nguyen, DDS & Endodontist specialist. My wife and I were so happy.
There were only 2 Endodontists in the Entire San Francisco Bay Area that was willing to accept my Medi-Cal Insurance, due to the fact that Its basically Pro-Bono work by a Endodontist. I learned that an Endodontist is a specialist in Dentistry, that requires extensive Schooling after receiving the 8 YR. Doctorate degree, its an additional 2-3 years of residency. Its extremely expensive work due to the nature of the individual being state licensed to perform oral surgery.
As I sat in the dental chair, Dr. Nguyen was extremely thoughtful of my comfort. He said, it was a lengthy process.... Around 2 hrs. to complete.
Everything went absolutely perfect. Dr. Nguyen had a very gentle feel and sort of laxed way about his hands and hand movement. Very gentle. I left his office feeling very good. The next few days I was slightly sore, but the pain was gone, and I felt great after about 1 day.
Dr. Kai Nguyen's follow up care was excellent. I was so happy that he thought about my pain that were to follow after a procedure like this. He does not hesitate to prescribe necessary medications you may need, and that really put my mind at ease.
When I returned to my regular Dentist for a check up and cleaning, he did some X-rays of the root canal recently performed. I watched (as we both were looking at the Xrays together) his facial expressions. His face had a look of amazement.
He told me, "This is some of the best work I've ever seen. This root canal job is absolutely incredible" The smile on my face ear to ear could not be more prevalent. Dr. Kai Nguyen's work was absolutely perfect! He did an incredible job.
The best thing about this entire experience, was that Dr. Nguyen was the only Endodontist that would except my type of insurance. This procedure would have costed us out of pocket, at a minimum of a $1,000 dollars. Medi-cal doesn't cover this kind of procedure. Knowing what he did for us, giving of himself, his time, and his craft, We want Dr. Khai Nguyen to know that we will be FOREVER GRATEFUL in our hearts for what you did for us!
So THANK YOU DR. NGUYEN!!! For your professional, and compassionate work ethics that , well.......lets face it, most professionals in the medical field are not going to do Pro-Bono work....its more rare these days.
I dont understand why 1 star , bad reviews on some of these I read. I think its silly to give a bad review, for silly things like the ways magazines looked in a rack, or how clean walls are, and so on. There were a few just plain unessessary bad reviews that I would not pay attention to people! I highly recommend Dr. Khai Nguyen!!!! read more
