We moved to Scottsdale about six or seven years ago. My wife did a ton of research before picking a…read moredentist and she chose S&L with Dr. David Ngo. I went with a different place at first because it was closer to where we were living. Well, that turned out to be a mistake. I ended up having a bad experience there and finally switched to S&L. Dr. Ngo and his team fixed everything the other dentist had messed up. Right away I knew my wife had been right all along. I've been going to S&L for four years now and they really are the best dental office I've ever been to. Dr. Ngo has removed all my old metal fillings and replaced them with modern ones, plus he's done a couple of crowns for me. Everything looks and feels great. My wife has also been extremely happy with all the work he's done for her too. I'm almost 55 and I've seen a bunch of top-rated, highly recommended dentists over the years, both here in the US and a couple in Mexico. Nothing else comes close. One thing I have to mention is how good Dr. Ngo is with people who hate dental visits or get nervous about pain. His work is excellent, but it's the way he takes care of you that makes the biggest difference. For example, the way he does Novocaine shots is unbelievable. You barely feel it at all. Every dentist out there should learn his technique. With all that said, I do think the front office experience could be better. If the customer service up front matched Dr. David's clearly caring vibe, it would be 100% perfect. If you're looking for a truly professional dentist who gives five-star care and service, this is the place. Dr. David Ngo at S&L is the only one I would recommend without any hesitation.

I've been seeing Dr. Ngo since 2018. On my first visit he spent extensive time examining my teeth…read moreand mouth and explaining everything thoroughly. He is knowledgeable and professional and always takes time to check in, even during routine cleanings. I usually don't wait more than 5 minutes for my appointments. There have been times where I needed immediate dental care and they are able to work with you to fit you in as quickly as possible. I have recommended him to many people throughout the last 8 years! At a previous dental office in Miami I had a terrible experience that started with a routine cleaning that turned into a root canal 6 hours later and left me with significant anxiety with all things dental related. I found out a few years later after moving to Arizona that the root canal was not performed correctly and I had to get it re-done. Dr. Ngo is incredible at calming nerves and making you feel safe when in uncomfortable situations, especially with anxiety. He talks through every step in advance and during the procedures, so that there are no surprises. He takes extra time when numbing the mouth so that the pain is tolerable and at times barely noticeable. I really appreciate this and feel like it's rare to find. I highly recommend Dr. Ngo and S&L Dental for all your dental needs.

As you can see from my previous review, I used to LOVE this place, and had been a patient of Dr…read more Tran's for almost 15 years, but now I am just disappointed and left feeling like the relationship I thought I had established with them doesn't matter. My husband and I both were patients here, I referred every person possible to come and see them, and I trusted them to the fullest with my oral care, but I cannot allow my 5 Star Review to shine any longer. During some of this history my husband and I would come out to Arizona and I made sure to book our appointments to continue care with this office and refused to see anyone else...they were the best! I respected Dr. Tran for her expertise and passion behind her beautiful office and I appreciated Alyssa for her commitment to making sure I had the cleanest smile in the world...and best convos. This all changed last year. Dr. Tran has been through more front/back office staff than I've ever seen, a couple great, most not good, but I stuck around. I had my last cleaning in Oct 2023, and was scheduled 6 months later with Alyssa. Unfortunately the day before my appointment, we had to lay our beloved 15 year old dog to rest, and the next morning my stomach was a total mess. Considering that the office is 45 minutes away from me, I was worried I might have trouble along the way, and I texted Alyssa that I was sorry there was no way I could make it...first time ever! Mind you, there was no confirmation call the day before (and I booked 6 months ahead), and zero mention of a cancellation fee. My husband had his teeth cleaned and Dr. Tran told him that he had to have all 4 of his wisdom teeth pulled, one that was absolutely necessary as she said she couldn't fill a cavity between the teeth, and referred him out. He went to the specialist, they recommended only the one, and that was done. He had a appointment for the filling already scheduled and also couldn't make the appointment as he got sick, but also didn't have a confirmation call. I called a couple days later and apologized for the mistake. Also, no mention of a cancellation fee. Fast forward, I call them and tell them that being 45 min away, and having a toddler without anyone to watch him makes for scheduling difficult (also Alyssa wasn't there anymore), and that I should probably find someone closer. The girl tells me that I need to pay a balance on the account...for cancellation fees. I told her that was ridiculous, explained the situations, and asked for that to be waived. After some time, they're waived. I go to another office, get a cleaning, and a filling and six numbing shots in, I have a filling that couldn't be replaced as I wasn't numb, and at that point, my BP was elevated quite a bit, and my HR was high. I got scared and left. I texted Alyssa, explained what happened, and called Dr. Tran's office to go back to them. The receptionist books me, and says that Dr. Tran may be able to prescribe something to calm me before. THE DAY BEFORE MY APPT, I get a text (not even a call), after I had been calling for a few days for the script to fill, saying that Dr. Tran doesn't feel comfortable with the appointment, and that I should go back to the office that did it! She doesn't even call me. And this is after I made arrangements for my husband to drive, and stay there for an hour with my toddler. Real nice. I can see that my loyalty really meant something to her. This was after I waited for her to get back from vacation, and I had a temp filling in my mouth for weeks. But she'll pick up the phone for a bachelor that chips his tooth because he was drunk. I called this week to see if my husband could finally come in for his filling, as again, we're loyal, and Kathryn, the intern, tells me that she can't schedule him and needs to talk to Dr. Tran...I ask, "why?" and she tells me it's because he didn't show up for his last appt. But that Dr. Tran would reach out on Thursday. It's Saturday, and I haven't heard from anyone at that office. I share my story with a heavy heart in hopes that someone reads it and decides that they want to be with an office that actually cares about their patients. Dentistry can be expensive, and I would rather put my money somewhere else.

The staff is friendly, the atmosphere is soothing, and the doctor seemed to be very experienced and was kind. What is prompting me to write this review is the flat-out scam this place is. I was told on two separate occasions by the front staff that they take my insurance (also Delta Dental) no problem and they would reimburse my money after I paid. So naturally, I paid the amounts after my routine teeth cleaning and a supposed cavity fill ($300 each session) and waited for the reimbursement like they told me. A week or two goes by, no reimbursement. I call again, and the front desk confirms they take my insurance and that the money would come. Another two weeks go by and of course, nothing but a twenty dollar reimbursement. I took matters into my own hands, saw a previous Yelp review saying they experienced the same thing, called my insurance, and they told me that no, Dr. Nelson's office does not take my insurance. I advise if you have Delta Dental DO NOT GO HERE! They will lie and tell you you are fully covered but you aren't!!

Never in our life have we had to pay so much money out of pocket *after* Delta Dental (we have their Enhanced Insurance plan) paid their portion. Our insurance clearly states yearly cleanings are covered (as are x rays) and we have never paid for them as long as we had this insurance. After Dr Nelson's office submitted our cleanings, we were still obligated to pay roughly ~$224 EACH for cleanings. The worst part is the ladies at the front desk assure us cleanings should be covered since "we do work with Delta Dental." After being fooled twice and overpaying for simple cleanings, we will not be coming back here. They are clearly overcharging their services to insurance and stick the customer with the result.

I was referred here by my general dentist as I've always played with the idea of Invisalign even…read morethough my teeth weren't that crooked. It was during Covid--the era of wearing a mask and working from home so I was like why not try it? People can't see them if i am wearing a mask and it's easier to brush and floss my teeth when I'm at home. I have teeth grinding issues and won't wear a night guard--even ones custom made cuz it just makes me slobber everywhere and so thick. So I figured I'd give Invisalign a try and I didn't mind these in my mouth! Plus, when I first initially wore them, it actually curbed my appetite cuz I'd be like, uh, do I really want to brush and floss my teeth? Thats a lot of work so I stopped snacking as much. Can you tell how lazy I am? Lol So my initial consultation, they took photos and had a plan/time outline and provided the cost estimate. I signed up right away and I think they were surprised by that. If I recall, it was initially supposed to take a year max? I was really good about following procedures, but my teeth are hard to move. It didn't want to move and if I skipped it for even one day, it would revert back. Super annoying. After I finished the packs, Dr. Wachtel was like, we can finish if you want, but I'm not totally satisfied these are straight and recommend you do this longer. I was a bit annoyed, but decided to plug along and get more Invisalign packs. One thing I liked was that the cost was inclusive of everything. So if I needed more Invisalign's, that would be provided at no extra cost. Also if I wanted a permanent retainer, which I was iffy about and he was like you can decide when we finish up, that was also included. Plus, after I paid, they ended up giving me a check cuz they found out my insurance covered more than they though. You don't know how surprised i was by that and that further earned my trust. Fast forward to this month, and I am DONE. He took off my attachments and that was painless. He gave me my final Invisalign retainers--just a tad more durable than the regular trays and I love it cuz it keeps my teeth straight and helps with my grinding. I have one more three month follow-up and then I think I'm done? Nancy, the receptionist is soooooo nice and sweet. I always had to change my appointments, but she always found a time for me. Super accommodating and she actually remembers who you are. Dr. Wachtel is very personable and easy to chat with. We always talked about food and traveling so it was always an enjoyable experience. Go, but know it may take longer than originally estimated. As long as you follow the procedure, you will get straight teeth:)
