Amazing dentist. Skilled, professional, personable. So happy I found him. This is from an 84 yr old client who had an improper bite from a previous dentists night guard. Dr Nguyen corrected my awful bit with his magic retainer!!!! This is after I saw dentists who wanted to extract teeth, redo multiple crowns, even wire my jaw shut. He is my mouth hero! read more

There is no one better than Dr. Bill Nguyen. He is a perfectionist in the art of orthodontia and is an equally wonderful human being. He gets to know each one of his patients of all ages and connects with them as individuals. Not only did I get a perfect smile I got new lifelong friends with all his staff! Here's to the man! Dr Nguyen .... read more

William D Nguyen, DDS MSD - Orthodontists Near Me - Monarch Beach, California

I am copying Wm K's review as he says it all perfectly. Dr. William Nguyen is a serious artist. He takes every case to perfection. His team is knowledgeable, hospitable, great chair-side manners, gentle, easy appointment scheduling, understanding when you have to cancel, easy financing and a just an all around painless experience. There are so many orthodontia choices in South Orange County but I know I made the right one with this office. Without hesitation, I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen and his team! I would like to add, Dr. Nguyen is an expert in his field and a master of moving teeth in their proper spots. My daughter had three impacted teeth (not her wisdom teeth) in both upper and lower. They were in a lateral position and backward position when we began the orthodontia work. It is a genetic condition that runs in my family. Both of my brothers had the same condition 30+ years ago and I witnessed first hand the difficulty and complexity of the masterwork involved as they both were patients of the orthodontist I worked for while I was in college. I do not work in the dental field, nor am I personal friend. I am sharing this only because I realize the challenge involved. Some orthodontists would not even take on such cases due to the uncertainty of the outcome and would opt for surgical extractions and implants. Dr. Nguyen took on the challenge and succeeded beautifully. I have included before and after x-rays to give you an idea of the transformation. Please keep in mind, this is a lengthy process and the patient needs to understand that, but well worth it in the long run. Highest recommendation! This link is simply a share for a coupon for free consultation: http://bestlocalreviews.com/review-complete/893804/a810e2d0e4 Again, I do not work for Dr. Nguyen, nor am I getting paid for this review. I simply would like to share my experience and save you the headaches, time and money of trying to find the right orthodontist. He is your guy. read more

William D Nguyen, DDS MSD - Thank you for this beautiful smile you give me doctor Nugget . - Orthodontists Near Me - Monarch Beach, California

Dr. Nguyen severally over promised and under delivered. I was told that a year of invisalign would accomplish what I was going for. I even offered to put on braces and he convinced me otherwise. He continued to tell me for 2 years that I could get my results when he very well knew it could only be accomplished with braces. I even offered 3 times throughout the process and he convinced me to stay in invisalign. Now that I'm "done" because I said I'm not wasting any more time, he said I should put on braces. I'm furious for the time and money spent. Why would I spend more time and money on someone I don't trust? The staff is incredible, Dr. Nguyen is horrible at bed side manner and does NOT listen. read more

Dr. Nguyen and the entire team were amazing from start to finish! He gave my daughter an estimate of length of her treatment and she got her braces off exactly when expected even during a pandemic! Her teeth look amazing and her face completely changed due to the wonderful work of Dr. Nguyen. Whenever things came up during treatment they were quick to accommodate her. The back office staff are TOTAL angels, treat every patient special, and have you in and out as quick as possible. Scheduling is always a breeze with the front office, they are always kind and never had a single scheduling mishap in the years we worked with them. read more

Dr. Nguyen isn't even our orthodontist! We live in Mission Viejo and during all of the closures due to Coronavirus were unable to get in touch with our own doctor and were in need of more rubber bands. Dr. Nguyen went above and beyond, saw us on an emergency basis, checked my daughter's bite, took photos, gave us instructions, sent us away with what we needed and communicated all with our own ortho. Above and beyond to help someone in the community. So appreciated and grateful for your help today! read more

Dr. Nguyen took a holistic approach toward determining the best course of treatment for our daughter. She had two rounds of braces with about a year break in-between. This not only prevented having to pull any teeth, she also has a wider jaw that looks profile perfect as a young teen. Her teeth look beautiful, she had minimal pain or fuss, and she's good about wearing retainers at night to keep everything in place. Thank you, Dr. Nguyen, for taking such good care of daughter's smile. You're the best friend a child's smile could ever have! read more

Dr. Nyguen has been an amazing partner during my son's orthodontic journey. Never did I expect that my kiddo would need braces! His teeth are perfectly straight!! But our dentist discovered in a routine cleaning/x-ray visit that there were some issues going on under the gum line. During our first visit with Dr. Nyguen, I knew right away that he would be the perfect person to treat my son. He is great with my son, but also takes the time to make sure that I know what is going on. Every visit is a great experience, and I have come to really enjoy him and his staff!!!!! I felt like the cost was reasonable too. If you need a good orthodontist, don't hesitate...go see Dr. Nyguen!!!! read more

We went to Dr.Nguyen for both my daughter Riley and my son Cooper and you should see their bright and beautiful smiles! They are both in high school now and we couldn't be happier with the results we got from getting braces for both kids at Dr.Nguyen's practice. Not only did he do a great job, he also took the time to explain what he was doing every step of the way. We especially liked the monitor where we could see the kids progress with the photos he took. He was also very careful not to take their braced off too early which us as parents appreciated.. (our kids were eager to get those things off!). And I would be remiss if I didn't mention his wonderful team. I love them!! Every time I called..and I called a lot, they were cheerful, patient, and helpful. In addition, they run that office so well that we never had to wait when we got there.. ( once in 2 years, I think when they had an emergency ) and that is so refreshing!! Thank you to everyone for making our experience the best! read more

William D Nguyen, DDS MSD - Cooper and Riley after seeing Dr. Nguyen - Orthodontists Near Me - Monarch Beach, California

Dr. Nguyen and his amazing staff have taken wonderful care of my daughters for years. Dr. Nguyen spent the better part of two years carefully observing my oldest daughter and only recommended orthodontia when the time was perfectly right. She had a fantastic two years of braces and had them recently removed - with beautiful results! Again, Dr. Nguyen was so thorough and thoughtful in his analysis and in articulating the entire process. His staff is friendly, professional and are the consummate multitaskers. They were always able to work within the confines of our schedule all while juggling several patients at a time. I wish all businesses were as competent, friendly and professional and Nguyen Orthodontics! read more

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are wonderful! This was my son's first time back to see Dr. Nguyen since the pandemic had started. His staff and office were very organized and took every precaution necessary to put everyone's health first. Debbie was her awesome self and walked my son to the car where I waited. Thank you for always going the extra step! read more

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are fantastic! We are long time patients of Dr. Nguyen. All 3 of my kids have been treated by Dr. Nguyen, starting at an early age. They each had cross bite issues which needed 1st phase correction. He has gone on to treat them cosmetically as they have grown into teenagers. We have never considered switching Drs. or finding a coupon/groupon because Dr. Nguyen and his staff have continued to earn our business over the last 12 years. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen. Trust him...he is a wonderful Dr! read more

Wonderful staff. As soon as I walked in here they were prompt to greet me. I only waited a few minutes prior to seeing Dr. Nguyen. I went in to get my retainer fixed. This was my first time here because I had a different orthodontist originally. My sister had her braces done here and she had a great experience with the staff. Anyways, they remembered my sister very well despite the staff not having seen her in four years. Even though I used a different orthodontist, they were incredibly welcome to me being there. They fixed/cleaned my retainer free of charge. I thought this was incredibly professional and nice. If you are looking to have braces, or even need something as simple as a custom mouth guard, visit Dr. Nguyen. read more

Excellent orthodontist and staff! Always prompt and courteous. My daughters teeth look great.

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are amazing!!! I came in as a special case and where other orthodontists have turned me away, he took me in and paid extra attention to my teeth. He is very informative and will answer any questions you may have. His staff is great as they make each visit enjoyable. Me and my two oldest daughters go here and it feels like they are family as they have cared for each one of us. read more

My daughter has been treated by Dr. Nguyen for her phase 1 & 2 for a number of years now. We were referred by our dentist and at which time we did not know much about his work reputation. However we trusted our dentist to always make good referrals for her patients so we went with her recommendation. Once we started to experience Dr. Nguyen's work and also learned about his educational background, we knew we were in good hands. Doctor Nguyen himself and his entire supporting staff are very friendly, caring and attentive of their patients. They treat everyone like their own family and they take pride in their work. We are very happy with Dr. Nguyen's work ethics and would not hesitate to refer our friends and family to his office. As a matter of fact, my older son had orthodontic treatment with another doctor a while back but now he needs some work done again; therefore, I plan to bring him to Dr. Nguyen for treatment this time around. read more

Thank you Dr. Nguyen and all of the staff for taking excellent care of our girls!!! read more

If you're looking for an orthodontist that genuinely cares for your smile and overall health you MUST choose Dr. Nguyen and his staff. Since your child will be "growing up" with their orthodontist go to an office where everyone is highly skilled not only in the dental field but in the art of humanity. My daughter was never apprehensive about going to her appointments. She looked forward to seeing Dr. Nguyen and her special friend Debbie.(Dr Nguyen's assistant). What more could you ask. I now have a happy child with a beautiful smile. Thank you Dr Nguyen and your entire staff. God bless you for he blessed us when we found you. read more

Dr. Nguyen provides excellent service. After 2 years of braces, straighter teeth is now a reality. 9 years later, some relapse occured, and Dr. Nguyen is helping me fix my teeth with corrective retainers. With helpful staff and great work, Dr. Nguyen is the place to go. read more

Absolutely love Dr Nguyen & his amazing staff. He is technical and very particular about his work while also kindhearted and humble. The entire office is timely, always calls to confirm appointments and never gives me a hard time when life happens and I need to move my appointment. Above all my teeth look incredible...and they fit ME. Dr Nguyen doesn't have a one size fits all approach. He worked with my bite, facial features and natural look to design the best look for me. Highly recommended! read more

Dr Nguyen and staff are professional, on target, and like family. You'll get honesty with regards to treatment options, (Invisalign or not) and fair pricing. My predicted 18 months of treatment was completed right on time, and beautifully, and I enjoyed being in the company of people who love their work and their patients! read more

My husband and I were very dismayed from a previous orthodontist on phase 1 of our son's treatment, so it took us time to move forward even though we knew our son needed a second phase. Dr. Nguyen is​ a recommendation from our son's dentist. We had lots of questions before, during, and after. In the end, our son's teeth look great! Dr. Nguyen is skilled, precise, and honest in his work. I don't think you could put yourself or a loved one in more capable hands. read more

Two members of our family were Dr. Nguyen's patients for 2 years and then two were with Dr. Enoch Kim in Laguna Hills for 2 years. Measuring from every aspect, Dr. Kim is a far superior doctor and deserves a 5. In comparison, Dr Nguyen gets at most 2. We wanted to be fair and so we waited 4 years and compared various doctors before writing this review. Dr. Nguyen is one of the most expensive orthodontists in the area, while the quality is just average. We interviewed 5 orthodontists in the area for my treatment. 4 doctors quoted around mid $3000, and Dr. Nguyen quoted $5000 with the kind of take it or leave it attitude. We went for him hoping that a higher price tag means better service. We couldn't be more wrong. It turned out that he inflated the treatment time. He said that my treatment would take 2 years, no more no less. Later, I noticed that his internal system set my treatment plan at 18 months. Sure enough in month 18, he stopped treatment. In comparison, other doctors I interviewed all estimated my treatment time to be 18 months. When I brought this to his attention, his staff stated that those doctors were trying to trick me. At the end of 18 months, they would ask me to extend and pay more. Well, now I realize that the other doctors were honest, and he was the one who tricked me. Dr. Nguyen has too many patients that he can't give each one proper attention. Yet his priority remains at expanding to multiple offices, reaching out to many social groups, and bringing in even more new patients. Toward the end of my treatment, I began to develop a jaw click. When I asked Dr. Nguyen, he said that I had this problem before my treatment, and it was "my problem". Yes that's the exact word - it was "my problem" not "his problem". I know my jaw. I never had a click problem until the later part of the treatment. After knowing my jaw click, Dr. Nguyen had no intention to correct it, and even asked me what I wanted to do, which I think was quite shameless. He kept dragging the situation, until I gave up. Later, I asked Dr. Kim about my jaw click. Even though I was not his patient, he explained it to me so I was able to understand, and he provided a couple of simple suggestions, which helped. I now am considering to pay Dr. Kim and go through the pain again to correct the jaw click that Dr. Nguyen created. My son had a bad experience, too. Once he kept complaining about pain in the gum. One night right after an office check up he started to spit blood. It turned out that food was stuck between the gums which caused infection, and Dr. Nguyen had to perform a urgent mini surgery and stop the ortho treatment for a while. When we asked why the obvious infection was not found during the check up, he did not give us a real answer. Dr. Nguyen has selective memory. In the initial consultation, he said that a complementary tooth whitening and kit would be provided at the end of the treatment. When I asked him and his staff about it at the end of my treatment, they said I was mistaken. They wanted me to read my contract. At that time, I already had my tooth whitening done by my dentist and all I asked for was an extra kit. I remember that Dr. Nguyen made a scene in the office and got emotional. Then he said he would give me the kit if my other child became his patient. At this point, it was clear that Dr. Nguyen's practice was all about money, rather than taking care of patients. The wait at Dr. Nguyen's office is very long. You spend a lot of time in the receptionist area. After you are called in, you again wait a long time on the dental chair. Then the assistant will come to work on you. Then you wait again for Dr. Nguyen to come take a look. A very simple routine visit can easily take much more than an hour. In comparison, many times there was no wait at all at Dr. Kim's office, who has many patients too but kept the flow going so smoothly. Even if you live in Dana Point and it takes longer to drive to Dr. Kim, your entire office visit trip may not take more time because of the short wait. Dr. Nguyen is inaccessible. He is always very busy doing something and has no time to talk to you. He and his staff makes you feel that you are not supposed to ask questions, and many times they don't give you straight answers and do it in a way that you won't bother them with more questions. If you are his patient, make sure you remember all your situations and remind him. Never assume he will remember your problems, and what he has said. In contrast, Dr. Kim always takes the initiates to give you updates, often providing answers to your questions before you ask. He welcomes your questions and is always patient with you until you have all the answers. My sons like Dr. Enoch Kim. They call him the smiley doctor who is always energetic, warm and pleasant. He seems like someone who has a big heart. Dr. Nguyen is the opposite. Thank you and I hope this helps. read more

We have had a wonderful experience so far with Dr. Nguyen. It is a kid focused office with a friendly staff! I have 4 kids and have to always bring them all with me to my daughters doctor visits and they are understanding and actually have a room for them to play. Before starting any procedure they go over it step by step with my daughter to make sure she feels comfortable about what is going to happen next. I have and would recommend Dr. Nguyen to anyone looking for a great orthodontics!!! read more

Dr. Nguyen and his office personnel are professional and friendly. I have a difficult case and he took the time to study it and find the best solution. Helene is wonderful and the same goes for the entire office staff. I would highly recommend this office. We will be back when my kids are ready for their own braces. read more

Dr. William Nguyen is a top-notch orthodontist. He is wonderful with children, but also excellent with adults. Our very beloved dentist referred him and said that he is the only orthodontist in the area that is also an artist. Well I can certainly attest to that. Two of my children have now been treated by Dr. Nguyen. My oldest son just was seen today for his six month check up and Dr. Nguyen announced that he does not even need a phase 2. The amount of work and artistry that went into phase 1 on this boy is unbelievable. And that he was able to do it all in the first phase, well that just saved me thousands of dollars! Many orthodontists would have just said that a phase 2 is necessary to perfect it or finish the job, just to squeeze another $3000 or $4000 out of their patients. But Dr. Nguyen does not act or behave that way. His office staff is lovely and treat you like family. He gives you one price, upfront, that includes the entire phase, with no hidden surprises. He is also very good with terms, and emergency visits. His office hours are convenient and he has two locations to choose from- 1 in Laguna Niguel & 1 in Dana Point. The office is loaded with video games, magazines, coffee, water, and snacks, too. Just perfect for those after school visits. Dare I say I might actually even miss these trimonthly visits one day? At least I will be able to say that I look back fondly on our orthodontic experience. read more

Dr Nguyen is sensational orthodontist and an excellent caregiver. I went to his office on an emergency basis in Dana Point when one of my braces came loose and the wire stuck into my cheek. His entire staff was cordial an extremely friendly and very professional. I was extremely pleased to find someone who is caring and professional as Dr. Nguyen. I was treated without a wait and in a very expeditious manner. I'm extremely grateful for that care. read more
