She is very friendly and remembers you each time you come in for a cleaning or procedure. This office makes you feel like family in the sense that they care for you and your well-being. I could not recommend Crystal Dental enough!

He's very friendly, professional, and provides a great personal touch to each appointment. I feel like I get to see more of him than I did the dentists in other practices I've been to over the years. He keeps up with the latest in dental technology and also tries to keep in tune with what his customers are looking for and incorporating that feedback into his practice. I have no complaints, only nice things to say, after seeing him every six months for the time I've lived in Renton.

Please DO NOT give this office your business. I went into Dr. Nguyen's office looking for a new…read morelocal dentist. Her staff was personable enough, but the work she did was so terrible I had to get it RE-DONE just weeks later. My new dentist was appalled that she would have allowed me to leave her office and arranged to have x-rays sent to my insurance company to explain why I had to have re-work done so quickly. The insurance company and my new dentist asked that she PAY ME BACK for the work she did. I went in for regular dental work and needed two fillings. I warned her up front that since I was a pre-teen, I have had a very abnormal reaction to numbing agents. It takes A LOT to get my numb. This is because I have a central nerve that runs VERY close to the surface. I have had multiple doctors confirm this. She said okay, no problem. When the work started she gave me one round of numbing and tried to start work. I told her, "I'm sorry this is very painful. I told you I am a little different." She said, "Oh you just need some more time for it to work." OK. She tried again 15 mins later. Again, INTENSE pain. I said, "Please, I am telling you, this is still painful." She reluctantly gave me another round and waited another 20 mins. (Mind you I am now 45 mins in the chair and nothing has been done). She tried again and I said it was better, but still could feel things. She said, "You shouldn't be able to feel this." And I reminded her for a THIRD time that I have a different physiology than many. She then leaned into me and asked, "Well I know you may not want to say this, but are you on drugs?" EXCUSE ME?!! "Well this would happen if you were a heavy recreational drug user. You should just tell me if you're an addict. That would make this easier." I was STUNNED. I had warned her prior to doing ANY of this that I have had trouble with numbness and THIS was her reaction?! It sadly bears stating, that I am a black woman... I hope that is not why she made this ridiculous and offensive assumption, but ..... "NO." I told her. "I am NOT an addict or drug user. This is exactly what I told you about before we started nearly an hour ago." "OK if you insist... but it really would make things easier." I wanted to get up and walk out, but I am now mid-drilling (she did SOME before I couldn't take the pain anymore) and I didn't know how to leave with my mouth LITERALLY mid-procedure. When she finally gave a final round of numbing agent and I could take it. But since we were so far behind she kept stopping the work and going to work on OTHER PATIENTS in the middle of my procedure. Finally 2 hours in on 2 fillings, she barely buffed my fillings and said...OK you'll have to come back another time for me to finish. The feeling in my mouth was UNBELEIVABLE. The filling was so rough I could feel my tongue was going to be rubbed raw. My jaw was ACHING (I have TMJ) from holding it open for 2 hours. And what I didn't know is that her work was so harsh that my gums would recede. They are STILL (a year later) not normal and I have to have my new dentist put a protective sheath around them every 6 months or so to prevent pain because my gums have never been normal again around those teeth. My new dentist is lovely. She Immediately LISTENED when I told her about my issue with numbing and I have NEVER had a problem again. When she saw the work Dr. Nguyen had done, she was so disturbed she said she wanted to make sure she documented the HORRENDOUS work she did so that it could be corrected without me having to pay out of pocket. (Insurance companies will not pay for duplicative work in the same 6 month period without documentation.) The insurance company agreed to pay -- process that. I asked my new dentist what I should do about this. I was traumatized, discriminated against and my teeth were REALLY messed up. She said the only thing I could do would be to ask for the portion of the work I paid for to be returned. When I called Dr. Nguyen's office to explain. Her staff was again, kind but all I received from her was a folded blank piece of paper in the mail from Advanced Dentistry, with a check for $248. PLEASE DO NOT GIVE Dr. NGUYEN YOUR BUSINESS. DO NOT TRUST HER WITH YOUR DENTAL HEALTH. PLEASE don't be me.

Dr. Nguyen is the worst dentist I have ever seen in my life. She told me I had four cavities that…read moreneeded drilling and that I also needed to either have four teeth pulled or have the gums around them lasered back. She wasn't able to show me any of the issues on the X-rays, she just told me they were there and got hostile and defensive when I tried to question further. My mom is a retired dentist so I was raised to have EXTREMELY good oral hygiene, and I know my mouth is in very good shape. So I asked around and found a different dentist with a reputation for honesty to get a second opinion. Zero cavities. No teeth need pulling. My gums are in great shape. I needed two sealants on my molars redone and one tooth had a slight weak spot we put a preventative sealant on, but other than that my mouth is in great condition. They showed me everything on the X-rays and told me to keep up the good work. Dr. Nguyen lied about everything wrong with my mouth and got angry when I tried to ask questions.

Why one star? In December Dr. Le worked on a crown and during that session he drilled into my…read moretongue and cheek. It took weeks to heal and I still have some scar tissue that I had another dentist examine. The whole ordeal was very painful for my tongue. Later, when the Novocain wore off on my cheek, there was a lot of pain there too from the drill damage. At the time it happened my mouth would fill up with blood, and I had to keep swallowing it because everyone left the room. (he sees multiple patients at one time - chaos). I told him at the time there was a lot of damage to my tongue and he waved that off saying: "little cut". Well, it was a LOT more damage than a little cut both on the tongue and where he drilled into the cheek. When he works on you his hands shake and as another reviewer said it appears he has some kind of problem. When I got to my car I called my wife and told her the situation. By the time I got home she had looked up other reviews and found numerous references to the hands shaking. I quote them below: "Also, the dentist shakes like he has parkinsons. I am sorry if he does have a disease that causes him to tremmor, but maybe not the best profession." Frank M. one star review Yelp "Run away from this psycho dentist from Hell! He's freaking crazy and his hands shake up when he's doing your teeth.." Meme I. Yelp "Yes, his hands shake .." Nicole C. Yelp I've had several doctors tell me I have a high tolerance for pain)" L.P. Yelp "DO NOT GO HERE. It seems that the dentist has some kind of neurological disorder that effects his motor skills and he cannot control his hands very well. This causes him to be really rough and clumsy when he is drilling etc. He even dropped the drill inside my mouth while it was still engaged, causing a hole to be drilled through the underside of my tongue - I was bleeding everywhere. He did not apologize or anything but acted like it was totally normal." Ed Tinker Google Maps review
