I went to this Dentist, Dr. Tran Charles, for re-cement of a crown as a first time patient. He cemented the crown and charged me for the service plus a PA, nothing extra so that was really good. I'm glad. The dentist was very friendly and did the job very well and through. I was impressed. The reason I took 1 star of and gave him only 4 stars because of the cost of the PA. For a single periaprical xray, the office charged me $50. That was a bit too high imo, in comparison, the recementing charge was $114. Overall, the visit was quite pleasant and the staff was treating me quite well. Thank you for your services and the experience. read more

I understand this place has bad reviews and maybe because it's not in the nicest area and the office isn't pretty as others, but things can be done here. Maybe not the quickest, but I had serious tooth pain from a partially impacted wisdom and was able to walk in and get it taken out the day of last Thursday. The front desk ladies + dentists are informative. read more

The worst customer service ever! I do not recommend anyone selecting them for dental work. I've seen plenty of dentist in my life to know these people lack kindness (especially the front admin manager) she is very unprofessional!!! I scheduled an appointment for cleaning and a cavity to be filled they told me you haven't seen us in two years...yes so shouldn't they have selected a slot for consultation to clean and do some actual work and vetted time for such an appointment? Nope, the front manager the day of the appointment tells me they can only do cleaning and no cavities. So now I have to schedule another appointment! They only did one x-ray and are telling me I have to come back for full x-rays, because it has been 2 years. They are in stone age in regard to top service and patient care!!! I'm stuck with them till I change my dentist for the next year I believe but will be checking to see if I can change dentist before that!!! The front manager kept arguing with me to the point I felt harassed!!! Rude and disrespectful service!!! Avoid at all cost and take ur business elsewhere! I will not be bringing my kids or husband here and will pay out of pocket for their dental work! read more

Tran Charles C, DDS - They also have policies that no other dentist office has! - General Dentistry Near Me - Sacramento, California

Avoid this dental office. Office staff is extremely rude. Take your business elsewhere.

This is the worst office. Pick another place! Every time they ask to reschedule me AFTER I wait over an hour because of "emergencies". Seriously, EVERY TIME there are emergencies that push clients back and the snide receptionist has the gall to say "as you can see" with her pathetic vanna white impression WAVING HER HAND around their ill kept wait area. Oh and get this: after one of their employees uses the restroom they lock it and put an "OUT OF ORDER" sign on the door...like I JUST SAW YOU USE IT. After telling them if they accept emergencies they need to call people that have appointments and let them know AHEAD of time and she says "yes. That's what I'm telling you now" ARE YOU FREAKIN SERIOUS LADY YOURE MISSING THE MARK SO HARD I know they accept mediCal and all but I bet they force people to reschedule so they can get another medical office visit fee out of people. read more

Horrible dental office, unorganized, rude and too much stress on their patients! I would give 0 stars if I could !

I ended up having to go to this dentist for the second time... This was due to an error on my own part because I was too lazy to change my dentists in advance. By the time I remembered to do so, I was already due for my 6 month cleaning, so I figured I would just stick with them one more time before I switched. I dreaded going because I figured it was going to be a terrible experience, but it was surprisingly not awful. I had my x-rays done rather quickly and was seen by the same lady dentist as before. She was much nicer than before. She also asked about my retainer... I guess they had noted that in my file. I still have the broken one with the cracked wire that I shove back in place to use once in a while... Yes, it's super ghetto, but apparently I can't get a dentist to get me a new one even when I'm begging to give them money. Anyway, since I was annoyed with their treatment of me last time regarding my retainer request, I politely told her yes, I have one. I wasn't lying, I still have the broken one that their office declined to replaced. Where is the namesake of this place? I hadn't seen one man working there at all. Anyway, this place speaks Chinese and Vietnamese for those who may need a dental office that can accommodate that. They are okay if you just need your teeth cleaned... I probably wouldn't go to them for any major work though. read more

This dentist office It's ridiculous. Although the reception staff are nice and try hard the doctor really tries to gouge you and puts you through the ringer. I went for 3 superficial filings that where on 3 different teeth. After much runaround and 2 reschedules from the office I finally had my appointment at 9am. Got into the office chair by 3pm. She did the 3 filings but I have to go back because now I have to go back because she did one of the 3 filings wrong causing me pain in that tooth if I try to chew on it. Do not go here if you can help it. And if you have a superficial cavity don't go for a cap over a filing. It's unnecessary, expensive and can cause more problems than the original cavity. The dentist does make a nice profit though. read more

I have been coming here for years and the doctor is absolutely amazing the dentist assistant are absolutely caring and passionate about their work. First and foremost Dr. Tran, does amazing work and is very thorough. Man this dude does magic with teeth, I come back here just because of this guy. A few things I need to emphasize is the lack of customer service this place has, it's a shame when amazing service is matched with a horrible desk attendant. Amina is what I think her English name is. Every time I see her, man is this woman rude. Pushing services, cutting people off mid sentence, and picking up phones without excusing herself. I understand that it may be the cultural background but this woman is fluent in English and I speak her native language so I think I may have some perspective on whether or not she is going through her own mid life crisis. My experience after working with Dr. tran on 1/23/15 was amazing and the small talk through the whole procedure just made it less demoralizing, provided I'm drooling and my mouth is wide open. But afterward the attendant, was forcing me to sign a waiver, I always read what I sign and it was a consent form about coming in to get my wisdom teeth out. Which I have not expressed something I needed. I mean if it's going to be out of my pocket cost, it should be up to my discretion right!? Anyways this was not an isolated experience, if it were up to me, this is enough for me to change where I go when I get my check ups for my teeth. Dr tran and his assistants again are amazing but man the attendant in front is something else. Hopefully this review helps improve their service for other customers. read more

I have gone to this dental place for the longest time and I would say this dental place is okay. It's not the greatest, but not too bad either. I appreciate the dentists that are there. The assistants there could be better trained, but they're not horrible. The front office lady can come off as rude to some people, but I think that is just her personality. Of course, she could work on her customer service skills, but she's not bad. She is very talkative and she could probably easily either come off as way too friendly or rude. Overall, this place is good, but just not great in my opinion. read more

THE WORST. The dentist who works here are just fine, but the lady they work for is just a very rude stuck up woman. She is also one of the receptionists. I've been to this dentist a couple of times already, and after many rude comments and arguments, I've finally decided to change dentists and rid of this receptionist. I had a really bad tooth once, and the dentist gave me a choice of having to pay 800$ for a fill since my insurance didn't cover it, or just getting rid of the tooth. I decided to pull the tooth out, I made an appt. with the receptionist, and she tried to persuade me to pay the 800$ to fill in the tooth, and after I said no, she literally spent the next 15 minutes tsk'ing at me for having such a bad tooth, and imputing in very rude comments. When I came back the next time, I had the tooth removed, and it went by pretty quickly because my tooth was already loose so if I did pay for the fill, the tooth would have came out in two years or so because of how loose it already was. I've gotten into a couple of arguments with this lady on the phone and in person and I've also witnesses a couple of other arguments with other customers too. She's a very arrogant lady who only cares about money, instead of actually helping others. read more

PLEASE BE CAREFUL. DO NOT COME HERE. This place is unsanitary and unprofessional. I have never had such a terrible experience like this before. I am concerned about their dental tools. It also made me suspicious as I saw the "no phones and pictures" sign. They also took pictures of my teeth with a personal iPhone without my consent. I feel terrible for the employees who work under Dr. Tran and the manager. Honestly, they are being influenced and they should quit. It is evident that they want to maximize their profit and scam you. They do not care about your teeth but they care about the money they can gain. The dentistry here lacks integrity and I feel terrible for the families and children who are unaware. I also cried in there because I was so frustrated. I have medical insurance and as a college student, I am financially constrained. So when the manager was telling me ridiculous things to make me pay, I knew what she was trying to do. I may have trusted this place and it was my fault for not checking these yelp reviews first but I am educated and confident enough to say that this place wants your money. Go to another dentist and please save yourself the trouble. Why enter a health profession with greedy intentions? I do not even want to give this place one star. It honestly deserves zero stars. read more

Stay far away from here, I am a oral surgical assistant, my kids father took them here, my 4 year old needs a filling on the front side of his tooth up by his gums also known as a facial class 5 filling. When I called the assistant or front dest proceeds to inform me that they will be doing an amalgam filling on this tooth, with no use of nitrous. A few things wrong with this whole situation one you ask and pediatric dentist or a dentist who cares about their patients will for one not use amalgam filling on a primary tooth it's structures are to small and will end up falling out and need to be redone, Second adults still say dental numbing shots hurts especially in the front of the mouth. Now imagine doing this same on a 4 year old and expected them to stay still and continue with the rest of the appointment. It's a child so one you give them a shot they will move cry and not want you to touch them pretty much traumatizing the child bad move. Finally I asked the lady I speaking to will they us nitrous she laughs and says we don't have any of that in this office!! So if he moves l refer him out!!!! After I tell her that they will not do an amalgam fill on his tooth she goes to the doctor and comes back and yes we will be using composite filling because it's the facial side of the tooth. Please be careful and aware of this place obviously they do not care about their pt all they want is money and to do the worst thing possible to patients. I was lucky enough to know what is best and is it best for patients as I went to college for this!! Ask around get second opinions, avoid this place like the plague. I'm currently out of town for work so believe me if I get home and my child has an amalgam filling there will be problems especially since I told them to use composite and I do not authorize the use of amalgam. read more

I was really disappointed because they engaged in high pressure sales tactics. The facility is dirty and the receptionists in front are rude. When they cleaned my teeth, the equipment stopped working halfway through. It was terrifying. I would recommend choosing another dentist. read more

The receptionist are so bad and rule to the patients. they never smile at you. This dental office is very unprofessional, they always behind schedule and never on time, they will let you wait at least 1 hour waiting for your turn even you are arrive on time. The receptionist there are very rule and unprofessional, they will ask you to change your Dr. And don't come here again if you are concerning about their time delay. They don't care about your time. I would give them 0 rating if I could. They will make your kids miss school and wait for couple hours in their office to get the turn to see the Dr. Horrible experience!!!! Never recommend anyone comes here for dental work. read more

Went here with a family member with a appointment to get basic and minor work done. First off the location is in the ghetto, inside is not much better off, dirty old flooring and chairs. But that's all superficial, the front staff are very rude(especially if you disagree with something they say) even though their English is limited they act like they know better than you. (I've seen the older lady hangup on people) Even with a appointment expect to wait, and wait awhile 30+ minutes at least(and that's assuming they are not busy). The front staff act very busy even if they are in fact not, (reading a magazine while people are waiting to be seen.) between the rudeness and the long waiting times I'd say go just about anywhere else and that's not even considering the bad location. One star is more than this place deserves. (As I typed this review there was a seemingly drug user individual walking around right outside digging through the trash yelling) read more

Great general dentists here!!!! There are two lady dentist that are very good here..at Charles Tran and associates...the dentist here are very nice...one of the office older gals is a bit stern...but everyone else is nice....may take awhile to get a appointment but they do quality work...great with kids and take medi ~Cal also.....I believe they refer you out for root canals though.....but offer general dentistry well done....the prices for filings are great there also....the office is owned by charles Tran but the dentists are two very sharp women. read more

Horrible customer service. I had an emergency appointment arrived earlier than the appt time and was told only one dentist is working I can reschedule ( it's an emergency) so I stayed . Stayed over 3 hrs for just to be seen less than 8min and then told I have to wait on a referral. Several days went by without any update on referral after calling my insurance I was told my referral haven't been received ( Charles Trans Dental office sent it to the wrong Referral email ) which is another 48 hrs wait now . Now my insurance received the referral but once again ( Charles Trans Dental Office ) forgot the license number on the referral now I still have to wait another 24-48hrs to receive the complete referral. it's now a Friday morning they number I was giving for EMERGENCY REFERRAL APPOINTMENTS is unavailable all calls to this number is " call failed " . Now Monday and I still can't reach a representative to make my appointment. I'm going through unbearable pain due to my tooth need to be removed . My original appointment was 10/01/2020 and as of 10/26/2020 I still haven't been helped even after this beginning an EMERGENCY! read more

This place deserves -5 stars. Like all the other reviews its true the women are rude. I've been hung up on more than once. They dont greet you or anyone for that matter and long story short they just want $$$$$$$ . I walked out and I will never return!! read more

While waiting in office I observed very poor customer service skills both personal and phone. Should maybe think about hiring a english front office reception and bilingual backup. I waited close to 5 hrs for simple gluing procedure. 2 star maybe to high of rating. Must be family working in office togeather read more

My family has been going to this office for two years. There were two lady dentists working there. My two sons and myself were patients of Dr. Zee. She was great as a dentist. She always made us feel comfortable in the patient chair. My two sons love her because she gave painless anesthesia and dental treatments. Recently Dr. Zee needed to fill my two front teeth with white fillings and the result looked beautiful and natural. We are glad we have found a great dental office. read more

It was my first time going there. After reading reviews I was quite worried but I thought I should give it chance before changing my dentist. My appointment was at 1:30 and they called me exactly at time. From receptionist to Dentist everyone was really nice. read more

Disgusting. The ladies at the front desk are so unprofessional, barely knows any english, and talks in such a rude manner. Especially the older looking lady. read more

If I could give this place any lesser star I would. My sister had an appointment scheduled for 0900. They didn't call her back in until 1030. Not to mention that there were only 3 people ahead of us. We wasted a whole hour and a half waiting on them. If they wanted to see her at 1030, then schedule us for 1030, and not 0900. Plus the receptionist was rude and unprofessional. Taking our business elsewhere. read more

Ouch, went to this Office... The assistant calls me back to take a set of x-rays. Before I sat down, I realized whoa film??? No digital x-rays? I walked out! I need a office thats high tech and or atleast has digital x-rays, geesh!!! The front office staff are not friendly and they didn't greet me or anyone that came after me. read more

I can only equate my visit with a trip to the DMV. It took too long to be seen. The only person that was nice in the whole office was the X-ray tech and that's the only reason they even get one star. Office was dirty. At least at the DMV I walk out accomplishing something, this office didnt even have the "tool" to place my crown that had popped off! I absolutely will never be going back. read more

DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTAL OFFICE EVER!!! If i could i will not give even a star. I only been there one time and i will never come back. I and my mom went there and have appointment time together AT THE SAME TIME. And they get me in first like 20min waiting,so was not bad for me. But they make my mom wait like 2 hours , then the receptionist call my mom and tell her to come back in for anthor day after waiting for 2 hours . And the receptionist so rude dont even say sorry. She just told us the doctor have to do other clients from another office And the doctor have too many clients already, and she want us to come back OMG. I did make appointment !! Dont ever come back here read more

This place is awful! My husband and I went first thing in the morning on a Monday because he broke a tooth over the weekend. The receptionist was extremely rude. She basically told my husband that because there was no infection (she's just the receptionist mind you and no xrays were even taken) they couldn't do anything about his tooth for 3 weeks (that was the earliest appointment). The tooth is practically gone, it's a front tooth and he is feeling some pain. He had also called a few months before this to make an appointment for a check up and they never called him back. That's part of why we just showed up this time. Also, I had "helped" my husband answer a couple questions (because that's how we are, been together 10 years and always interject with info when needed), by the second or third time she had been giving me dirty looks and proceeded to tell me (very condecendingly) not to talk for him and that he could answer for himself. I just stared at her in disbelief at how she was talking to me. My husband said he could tell she had it out for me as soon as we got there. I don't know why, it was our first time ever being there. However, I did tell her in my sweetest voice as we left to "have a shitty day". He called and changed his dentist as soon as we got home. read more

After waiting for an hour and being told I was 15 minutes late so my appointment, which I wasn't, I got the heck out of there. I was so thankful I hadn't been called in. It doesn't set your mind at ease when you see multiple people coming out with teeth pulled. Obviously, this is conveyor belt dentistry at it's worst. Lost my $5 copay but kept my teeth. read more

AWFUL experience. They told me the wrong time for my appointment so I ended up being early, on top of the fact that they were an hour behind. I ended up having to leave to go back to work, so I rescheduled the appointment. This time it was for 9 AM, right when they opened. The receptionist didn't show up and unlock the office until 9:20, and I cant even imagine when the dentists were actually going to get there. I have never been to such an unprofessional medical office. They obviously don't respect people's time. DO NOT go here if you have a choice of another dentist. read more

Avoid this place at ALL COST. These are money greedy bastards, and I am SERIOUS. If I could, I'd give them ZERO STARS. First off, the receptionists are rude as hell. The only nice ones that I prefer to talk to are the Hmong and Mexican receptionists. I try my hardest to avoid the two Chinese ladies. I remember trying to make an earlier appointment, because, homie, I cannot wait three damn months to get something fixed. The Chinese lady with the freckles looked at the calendar, flipped some pages and said, "I'll give you this day, ok?" "Well, I have school, so no. I need a different time, preferably earlier, please." The woman kept looking at me like I'm a little child without even checking if there were earlier openings, blinked a couple times and said, "No. We cannot do that." Wtf? She didn't even flip through the pages. This happened to me twice at different times. I ended up taking the day and called the next day to reschedule. I've done this before, so I knew when to call to avoid this lady. I called and one of the other nice receptionists checked the dates and switched the appointment. At other times, when they saw my credit card, they became nicer. In one instance, I asked my dentist to explain an imperfection on my tooth. She said I would need a filling because it will turn into a cavity. I asked her how I could prevent it from turning to a cavity. She told me what to do--mouthwash. She ended up leaving the room for a bit. When she came back and while she was drilling my teeth, the other receptionist with medium length puffy hair came and asked me for money. "You want to do a filling for your teeth right? It's 90 dollars." HOW RIDICULOUS. She stood there for a moment, noticed that I couldn't talk clearly and left. I was afraid that she would charge me for it so I had to say, "No. Let me think about it" in mumble jumble language. What's even worst, the dentist didn't even help me tell them to step out. Oh my lord, DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY CUSS WORDS I WOULD SAY RIGHT NOW TO CURSE AT THEM?! There are other stories too. One being a procedure that ended up with an extra sensitive tooth because a nerve is exposed. The dentist thought she would put some cement like material in my mouth to keep it from exposure. It was temporary. That shit fell out. Are they trying to poison me? Probably. Are they trying their best to get bacteria exposed into my internals? Most likely. Are they drilling just for the MONEY? MOST DEFINITELY.I SWEAR, if I knew what I know now, I would've said no. The tooth wasn't even hurting before they drilled into it. They CLAIMED there was a large cavity. I believed them. I should've followed my instincts. I have more to complain about them, but I've said enough. I finally moved out of the city, got a different medical insurance and now receiving FAR better care from a different dentist. Do you know how surprised and skeptic I was when I met friendly dentists that really cared about my teeth and wallet?? I was damn surprised. They exist??! Thank god I left this place. And the filling that they wanted me to have because they said my tooth will get a cavity? Well I asked my new dentist, and he said it wouldn't be necessary. A year later, and there's still no cavity. I'm warning you. STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM THIS PLACE. read more

If I could give this place a negative , I would. The dentist alone, I have nothing to complain about. But the receptionist has no respect or any type of decent customer service. The wait is terrible and they will tell that they'll have to reschedule to be seen another time. Don't go here. Choose another place. read more

man oh man...if i could give this place a negative 100 i totally would! this place is completely unprofessional. i called them because i had an issue i was trying to solve with them. i was speaking on the phone with one of the lady (i know which lady it is also, it's the old lady that i always see whenever i go there). old lady had the nerve to say "do you understand english??" umm hello lady?! am i not speaking to you in english right now?! she also said "come here and talk to me face to face!" oh man did that lady had the nerve to speak to me like that. everyone please stay away from this place! its legit dirty and a scam! and you have wait hours just to be seen. to the old lady... come see me bro! read more

I was so happy to have my two ugly old caps replaced at this office. The dentist did a wonderful work on the front teeth. The two new caps now looked amazingly natural, and I didn't have to pay too much for them either. I would recommend this place to all my friends. The experience I have had over there is excellent. No complaints! read more

first,i usually don't write bad review but this doctor staff pissed me off. i called in June 2015 and talk to his staff and asked if they are taking new patients. they said only kids. which was fine i have 3 kids and i wanted same doctor. they told me call my insurance so they can list him as provider which i did that. they said call back in July and we will make appointment . i called today since i got their new insurance card to setup appointment. the lady who picked up phone was so rude. she won't even let me finish sentence i am trying to tell her i am calling for my kids and she keep saying we are not taking new patients. now they can't find their record anywhere. she was so rude and won't listen at all. i end up hanging up . fix your damn staff read more

Unfortunately we find ourselves in a position where we have no alternative but to write a complaint letter my mom had a hard time in this dental clinic back to May. My mom is almost 80. The problem came from her denture which was not matching the gum and causing infection and pain. Her first mistake was that she couldn't be able to hear the receptionist clearly. When the receptionist asked her med-Card, my mom passed the denture instead which made the receptionist mad. Her second mistake was attempting to ask one more time when she knew her misunderstanding caused the problem which made the receptionist totally loss the patience. Her third mistake was attempting to ask the receptionist be patient due to her ears' problem which made the receptionist angry, then the receptionist ended their conversation by "we don't have time we are too busy", turned her face round, and ignored my mom. It's hard to believe how uneducated they treated an old woman in such a rude way, but they really did. Probably the worst receptionist my mom had ever encountered. read more
