PATIENT REVIEWS

Dr. Nguyen(or Dr. J as I like to call him) is single handily the very best dentist I have ever been to! Lets face it we’ve all been to a dentists office before at one point in our lives and had a bad experience…whether it was just being uncomfortable walking into the door seeing a filled waiting room with gloomy lights and old furnishings, or sitting down in the chair and practically squeezing the handles of the chair so hard as too try to numb the pain you feel, let me not go one any further as i’m sure you get my point. Dr. J has reversed the stereotype most people have with the dentist, He’s set up the coziest up to date modern/contempory office I have ever been to, on top of that his staff are amazing! Macy is absolutely wonderful, if you have any questions she has the answers. As well as being extremely helpful she helped set me up with scheduling a series of appointments to get a full deep cleaning all with in a very reasonable time frame & around my schedule(I don’t know if this is a huge plus for other people but for me it’s excellent and goes above & beyond). Back to Dr. J, talk about a real person not one of those robot doctors who follow procedure and get you in almost as quick as they are getting you out. Dr. J really takes his time to explain everything from the x-rays(you’ll take these on your first visit to help plan out the course of action your mouth needs) but he goes above & beyond by explaining exactly what needs to be done to get your mouth back in tip top shape. as for me, it was a couple of cavities and a deep cleaning for my gums. Now let me tell you something I’m over 6′ tall but when it comes to pain even the smallest amount you wouldnt think I was so big haha…… anyways I did let Dr. J know about this and he offered an injection of anesthesia, you may not believe what i tell you next but I kid you not I did not feel anything!!! He really takes his time, I swear before you even know it your mouth in numb!!! 🙂 He is extremely through in cleaning, I wish i had taken before and after pictures even on my first cleaning my gums went from red and puffy to a lighter pink and healthy, he really gets the plaque out!…Did I mention there are huge t.v.’s in everyroom, theyve got to be 42″ at least and he even has netflix!!!!! He let me choose what i wanted to watch while he was working(i looked at the recently watched list all avengers & iron man haha..cant go wrong with the avengers!) All in all this really is a great dentist, he really stands out for me

After a bad experience at another dentist, I asked a friend for some recommendations which led me here! Very accommodating considering they were going off of the x-rays taken at another office. Dr. Nguyen is very nice. So is Macy and the Dental Hygenist (did not get her name). As a first timer, I was in and out in less than an hour. I’m grateful I found these guys and will continue to see them so long as I work in the area

Well, it’s 7 years later!  Yes, I’ve been going to The.Best.Dentist.In.Pasadena. for 7 years now. (see my 2013 review) and I just got back from seeing Dr. Nguyen, Macy, Rossy (Rosie) and Christie (?) after having my appointment delayed for 2 months due to the L.A. lockdown! I felt extremely safe since the office is following all recommended safety guidelines. Teeth still cleaned by Dr. Nguyen, so happy, thank you! From cleanings, to a crown, to a root canal (outsourced to an amazing Endodontist – Dr. Safa in Pasadena) as you can see, I still would not go anywhere else. Excellent as ever since my first visit, there is a reason this office gets 5 star reviews. Thanks everyone, great to see you!

My family & I have been patients of Dr Nguyen for several years. Dr Nguyen is amazing and very professional. He takes the time to explain the procedure and dental care thoroughly. He has a very gentle touch and he is also very patient. His office is pristine and very modern. Whenever I am asked about a dentist referral, Dr Nguyen is always my answer. I feel extremely comfortable and welcomed. The entire staff is wonderful and sweet. I truly love coming here for all my dental needs

He is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. First of all he’s super gentle, I basically felt nothing. Each room has a flat screen so I’m totally entertained. The Dr is sweet and kind and I’ve referred all of my employees and anyone who lives in Pasadena to come to him. His 5 stars aren’t by mistake each star he has earned

10/16/12 was my 2nd visit to Comfort Dental.  i was there last week for exam, x-ray, cleaning. yesterday I had one metal filling removed and replaced with resin-composite, and several other teeth that had chipped and with smaller cavities filled with the resin-composite.  i never felt the injection at all.  he didn’t pinch and jiggle my cheek prior to the injection.  just placed a q-tip with numbing agent on the gum. i did not even realize he injected at all.  i loved that he did not give me a play by play of what he was doing.  i did not sense the drilling at all.  there are really no words that i know to describe how gentle this experience was.  the hygienist and he work effortlessly.  it was relaxing and lots of laughter from the minute i walked into the office, which is great

I literally just walked out of the door and couldn’t wait to review this office. I had to have a little bit of an emergency extraction and this office took such good care of me. I didn’t have an appointment I just walked in with a super swollen face and they didn’t hesitate to help! I don’t hate dentists but I could definitely live without needles, but Dr. Nguyen worked his magic and I barely felt anything, the needles or taking the tooth out. This is definitely the dentist you should go to. Great doctor, great staff.

I never thought I would say “I Love Going to the Dentist” but Comfort Dental is amazing. Everyone, from the receptionist, to the assistant to the dentist has a terrific bedside manner. I felt comfortable and safe the whole time as they kept asking me if I was okay. Now to the dental work, I had a composite done on a front tooth because the previous one chipped off, and there was a stain from a cavity. No pain, no pressure, no discomfort! My tooth is perfect. The dentist, her name is Nancy, was a true pro. I’ll be back for all my other dental work

Let me start by saying I do not normally write yelp reviews, but this place definitely warrants a great review.  My husband and I have been going here for 4 years.  The facilities are clean, the staff super friendly, and it is as comfortable as a dental cleaning can really be.  When we go there, we are instantly recognized and greeted by Macy, whom I love, and Dr. Nguyen who is friendly and casual, but extremely competent.  Our last visit, the staff was so sweet to our 5 month old daughter, and made our first trip to the dentist as parents towing along a baby, extremely easy.  Highly recommend

I would vote this Best Dental Practice in Pasadena!!  The office itself is beautifully modern, immaculate, and very spacious. Macy is awesome, she is super nice and welcoming on the phone and in person. Rossy was nice and friendly too. Dr. Nguyen was so kind, gentle, and comforting. I haven’t been to a dentist in a few years and was extremely nervous of how bad my teeth had become, but he put me at ease right away. He showed me my x-rays on the big screen tv (which was really nice that you could see everything so clearly) and thoroughly explained what he was showing me. I have been to quite a few dentists in Pasadena and have never felt this good about one before.  I’m so glad I found him so close to home (thanks to yelp and all the positive reviews)!

I’ve been searching for a great dental office for years and I’ve finally found one! Comfort Dental office staff is super friendly and professional. The facility is super clean. And the best part is the excellent dental service. Getting quality service from an honest and professional team. There was absolutely no up-sell in mapping out my dental plan for the work that I will need to get done like most other dental offices that I’ve encountered. It was a great feeling to know that I’ve found a team who truly care for my dental health

I am 59 years old…..just had a cavity filled with Dr. Nguyen.   Once again I had absolutely no anxiety about my dentist appt.   In fact…now I even look forward to my visits.   I am fairly new to CA and have been going to Dr.Nguyen for several years now……and his personality, care and professionalism are simply off the charts. His calm demeanor puts me immediately at ease……and his technical skills are unparalleled. Dr. Nguyens’ staff are as awesome as Dr. Nguyen….The women he employees always make me feel comfortable and relaxed. If you need a dentist….I would STRONGLY recommend Dr. Nguyen and his incredible staff….it will be one of the best decisions that you EVER make in your lifetime!

Today was my second visit with Dr. Nguyen and I just had to come here and write a review. I am supremely phobic when it comes to dentists, thanks to several horrible experiences. My dislike of dentist offices is so severe that I was actually looking for a sleep dentistry place because I didn’t think I’d be able to sit still to let anyone work on my teeth. I tried Comfort Dental after seeing the reviews on Yelp. For my first visit I needed to be seen urgently because I thought I cracked a tooth. The receptionist Macy was very good about finding me an immediate appointment. They ended up having a cancellation while I was there and asked if I’d like to do my cleaning and full exam at that point. I found out I have a cavity and also needed a deep cleaning since it had been something like 7 years since my last visit. No one pressured me into extra visits or extra services. Once Dr. Nguyen came up with a treatment plan Macy made sure to find out exactly what my insurance would pay for and how best to schedule everything to fit into my busy life. I just visited the office again today for my filling. It was done in less than an hour and nearly painless. I have trouble getting numb but Dr. Nguyen zeroed right in on the nerve in my jaw in only two shots. As someone who HATES needles I appreciate his skill and light touch. Both Dr. Nguyen and his assistant are very friendly, gentle, and soothing. I usually go through a procedure with my hands white knuckle grasped to the arm rests trying to remember to breathe. Today I actually was relaxed enough after the initial shots to sit and watch the tv they have in the exam room. I cannot recommend this office and this dentist enough

Dr. J is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He was able to work on my teeth in such a gentle way that I actually forgot I was being worked on. The tv with choice of anything to watch is a nice perk too. The staff at the front desk are very charismatic and create a welcoming environment. I felt very comfortable while in the waiting area. Macy is absolutely charming. I would recommend this office to anyone. If you’re looking for a great local dentist Dr. J is the way to go! Take my word for it

I now have dental insurance, so I decided to get some much needed dental work done.  With so many dental offices to choose from in Pasadena, I made my choice to go to Comfort Dental based on the name and its relative distance from my house. Dr. Nguyen spent a great deal of time with me during my cleaning/xray appointment–explaining everything and taking great care to make sure I know propper flossing, etc. During my follow up appointment, I spent 1.5 hours having my teeth worked on, and I honestly didn’t feel a thing.  I plugged in my Ipod and zoned out.  This was my best dental experience to date.  The post-dental recovery was just as pleasant…I don’t really have any pain. I have another appointment for a little more work and I am happy to say that I’m not at all worried about it. I HIGHLY recommend this place. P.S. his office secretary and dental assistant are very friendly and super cool

I want to run to the top of a mountain and scream: “Finally!” I finally found a dental office that I like.  It’s new, clean, and of course comfortable.  The name “Comfort Dental” is definitely appropriate.  Parking is convenient and this is going to sound weird but I even like the sink area where you rinse your mouth.  Basically, it’s perfect for a picky person like me.  Dr. Nguyen and his staff are the nicest people.  He’s an honest dentist and won’t try to sell you more than what you need.  Dr. Nguyen is very thorough when he explains things so it’s reassuring.  I definitely feel like I can trust him to do a good job on my teeth which he did.  I was pleased with my cleaning and I didn’t experience any discomfort at all from start to finish when he did my fillings.  They’re conveniently located in the same plaza as Ralph’s and Chase off of Colorado and San Gabriel

Dr. Nguyen has great bed-side manners and makes my check-ups pleasant.  Very nice staff too with a modern looking facility to boot. Its hard to tell from the outside but this little corner dentist office is really modern and quite spacious. Most importantly you have the option to watch Netflix during the procedures ;).  Considering how dentists can be so hit and miss I can’t recommend this one enough for cleanings and check ups

All my life I was afraid to go to the dentist (as a lot of people are). I don’t have to worry about it anymore as I found Dr. Julian. Dr. Julian is the best dentist I’ve had in my life. He is truly a NO PAIN Doctor! He is very professional, friendly, honest and gentle. All his staff are very professional and very helpful too.  They all care about their patients! His office is super clean, beautiful and modern with state-of-the-art equipment and lots of parking.  All my friends and family go to him now and everyone is so happy. I really recommend Dr. Julian! If I could put 10 stars, I would!

This review was written by my wife, Christina (she doesn’t have a Google account) I don’t know where to begin…Dr. Nguyen was my dentist years ago in SCV. When he decided to relocate to Pasadena, I thought the drive may be too difficult to make so I tried another dentist in the SCV area. As an RDA myself (in orthodontics) I knew this other office and Doctor well, so I thought I’d give them a try; he even complimented Dr. Nguyen’s work!! The work the other Doctor had done was not up to my standards; I had to go back to have 2 of the restorations redone. Just recently, one of the restorations the other Doctor had done came out. I decided to look up Dr. Nguyen. Though I now live in Newport Beach, I decided to make the drive to see him and I’m so glad I did (I wanted it done RIGHT!). The restorations the other Doctor did were poorly done with unsealed margins and overhang causing me to need a root canal done. Dr. Nguyen thoroughly explained what was needed and educated me on what was going to be the BEST option to preserve my tooth. His honesty is comforting. The procedure was done painlessly. I TRUST HIM TO THE FULLEST and will continue to drive an hour for him to treat myself and my family!! Thank you Dr. Nguyen!

Best experience ever!!  I have been going to see Dr. Nguyen since 2014.  He now sees my husband and two kids (4 & 5), as well. We all love going in! My girls have had a great experience and love seeing Macy, Rosie and Dr. Nguyen.  It’s a family affair every six months! The office is VERY CLEAN!!! Very organized, on time appointments and never any billing issues! Everyone is no nice and our dental health is great! Thank you

My old dentist was annoying, rushed you while you were in the office and bugged you for follow up appointment, so I had stayed away from a dentist office for a long time. I was referred to Dr. Julian by a co worker and gave them a call.  Macy was great on the phone booked my appointment and even called me back to confirm.  I showed up and office was clean, everyone was friendly and they didn’t keep me waiting around all day wasting my time. Rosie was super cool, took my xrays and was even sort of funny and very personable.  Dr. Julian was awesome, great communication, fast, professional, made me understand everything that was going on and when I left the office I felt like a million bucks and couldn’t wait to review his staff and his office. I hate the dentist but this experience made me comfortable enought to where I’m going back and recommending all of my friends and family too.  I guess you have to try this office to belive it.  What do yo have to lose?  If you are unhappy with your current place, give this one a shot

I’m glad I found Comfort Dental and their great staff.  Dr. Nguyen’s calm, professional demeanor make visits pleasant and fast.  He definitely fulfills my expectations when it comes to honesty and professionalism – never trying to upsell me on extra treatments that aren’t needed like many dentists out there.  He simply gives you the facts and what the options are.  I recently asked him what exactly was involved in a root canal and he took the time to explain it in detail which I appreciated.  The staff is super friendly as well and always seem to be in a good mood, which is a good sign.  I never have a problem making appointments, and getting estimates is easy at the front desk or over the phone.  Highly recommended!

I love this dentist office. Like for real. Dr. Nguyen and the ladies in his office are the best. Dr. Nguyen is nice and honest too. I’ve never felt like he was trying to milk me of money. If I ask him about a product or service he’ll honestly tell me it’s a waste of money. I usually come in and watch some Netflix while reclining in the dentist chair. It’s so hard to get my work done because they keep me laughing! Very happy I found this place

This the best possible dentist you could ever go to.  He is up on everything, is fast, communicates well, and his office staff are friendly and fabulous. He is a higher notch than most dentists because he has an extremely high level understanding of all the parts – teeth, gums, mouth bones, etc. and how the structure and hygiene of all these matters relate together. He will do exactly what you need and tell you the truth. I have not had one single problem here whatsoever, and don’t go here only because I moved away.  In fact I have tried to think of a way to get there because after going to this dentist, it is hard to move to someone else!

Best dental place I’ve been to- ever. Gorgeous office setting and from thr front desk to the dentist everything was organized, on time and professional. I’m the biggest weinie when it comes to dental work but with dr Julian’s perfectionist skills I felt safe and not as afraid. Great place for dental work!

I went here today for my first dental visit in about a decade… Embarrassing, I know. But everyone in this office was amazing. Macy, the receptionist, spent 45 minutes on the phone trying to track down my insurance company to figure out what type of coverage I had… It turned out to be full coverage fortunately. And it was something she offered to do without hesitating. Rosie, who took my X-rays, was also very nice and pleasant. Then I met Dr. Nguyen and he was not only a nice person, but was extremely gentle with my teeth and answered all of my many many questions. Everyone in this office treated me like I was their only patient that day… Even though I know I wasn’t… And spent a lot of time with me. I would highly recommend this place! I’ve had three visits here now and here is the recap: 1st visit – fearful and did not want to go 2nd visit – much calmer once I realized it didn’t hurt and I could listen to my iPod 3rd visit – excited to go and sad that I wasn’t going back for six months Dr. Nguyen took care of three cavities that had apparently developed over the last ten years while I was avoiding the dentist. I barely felt his novocaine injections and have yet to feel any pain at all during any of the procedures. He took out my old silver fillings and replaced them with much prettier, teeth-colored ones. I am so pleased with the results

Let me tell you! I have been in the military these last few years and those dentist were not the best! So I have always been afraid of the dentist, because everyone is so rough, well at least that is what I thought until I met Dr. Nguyen and his group of professionals! Everyone in that office maintain professionalism and attend to your needs 100%! Dr.Nguyen is very gentle YES there is a gentle dentist he also explains everything thoroughly to you so that you understand what he is doing. He is always trying to give you the best deal and not trying to get over you like other dentist! I am really thankful and glad that I found this dentist ITS THE BEST 🙂 !!!! All in all GO HERE!!!! Its very upscale on the inside also and very clean if you are a neat freak like me its very very clean and comfy so they live up to their name thats for sure. Have a good day 🙂

Wow. So many bad reviews for local dentists.. But this one is not one of those! I’ve not been to the dentist in many years and finally had to go and I found these guys through positive yelp reviews.  Had my appointment yesterday and I was so pleased to see those reviews had merit.  Paperwork was quick. The appointment was on-time.  I was surprised as the efficiency of the staff and how quickly my x-rays were done and the dentist was seeing me. He quickly determined a treatment plan and cleaned ALL my teeth (none of that 4 visits 4 quadrants nonsense).  Set up my next appointment to get some cavities fixed.  I was surprised to find that they didn’t try to milk my insurance and that my co-pays are very reasonable. This is definitely a different experience than I’ve had before with dentists.  Also, the place is aesthetically gorgeous in terms of design and cleanliness. I’ve your local to Pasadena, try this place!

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are awesome.  My husband and I have been very pleased.  Worked out for my husband’s schedule that they are open Saturday mornings.  I had an urgent problem that I wanted Dr. Nguyen to check out a few weeks, and he was able to see me that same day.  Dr. Nguyen is extremely friendly and explains things well!  Macy is always so kind when talking on the phone, too

I went in to see Dr. Nguyen after not visiting the dentist for several years. I had knocked out a filling a couple years ago and ignored it until i started having severe pain in that tooth. i thought i would have to extract the tooth and replace it with a dental implant. luckily he was able to save my tooth by doing a root canal and place a crown instead, which saved me a lot of money in the long run. the crown fit perfectly and i have zero pain now. the staff is very friendly and Dr Nguyen himself is very non judgmental, unlike most dentists I’ve seen before. he is also very good at giving shots to numb the area he’s working on, i hardly felt a thing. i look forward to my next appointment and would recommend him to everyone i know

In the words of Kramer, I’m an anti-dentite, I absolutely hate the dentist.  With that said, I don’t hate Comfort Dental, so they must be doing something right! I’ve been going to Comfort Dental for a little over two years for run of the mill stuff: cleanings, fillings, etc.  It is an absolutely wonderful practice. From the receptionist, to the techs, to Dr. Nguyen’s extremely delicate touch, everyone is professional, polite, and a pleasure to work with.  On top of all of that, the facilities are very modern and clean. Comfort Dental is as good as it gets, so if you have to go to the dentist, you might as well see them!  Good luck, I hate the dentist

So I’m a huge Yelp fan, more of a reader than a writer,but this time I must write. I went through several dentist on yelp and read plenty of reviews plus I called most of them and compared prices. In all honestly, nothing beats this place. When I called to ask how much the consultation was, the lady who answered was very professional and polite. I then decided to book an appointment, the only downside I would say is that the doctor gets booked pretty fast, I got mine two weeks after from the day called. Other than that, the day of my appointment I was suppose to get my X-rays and teeth cleaning done. Everyone in the office was very polite and I was seen by Doctor Nguyen on time. When he finally proceeded to do start my cleaning he was the BEST OF BESTS LOL! OMGGG, the last time I had a cleaning at a dental office in Monrovia, my experience was horrible and painful!!! On the other hand, Dr. Nguyen’s work was very careful, caring and painless. I had a bit of sensitivity, but that’s just me! Finally when it comes to their prices they are very  affordable and you will never feel like you are pressured to getting their treatments done, plus this doctor will only advice you to pay for what you really need. As a matter of fact, I really wanted to do teeth whitening, but he said I already had pretty white teeth, so he suggested I try baking soda at home to even them out, I felt he was very honest and NOT JUST AFTER YOUR MONEY! Give this place a try , you won’t regret!!!

I don’t know where to begin…Dr. Nguyen was my dentist years ago in SCV. When he decided to relocate to Pasadena, I thought the drive may be too difficult to make so I tried another dentist in the SCV area. As an RDA myself (in orthodontics) I knew this other office and Doctor well, so I thought I’d give them a try; he even complimented Dr. Nguyen’s work!!

I TRUST HIM TO THE FULLEST and will continue to drive an hour for him to treat myself and my family!! Thank you Dr. Nguyen!

I’m pretty young, in my early 30’s, and my teeth are pretty healthy.  But a couple years ago I wanted to switch my silver amalgam metallic alloy fillings to something more natural. I had a silver filling in my back right part of my mouth that was replaced with a composite resin, the white kind of filling that looks more like a real tooth. The previous dentist did it too thin and every time I bit down on something crunchy it sent a sharp pain down my spine. I told my old dentist after a few months and he just told me that the pain would go away, that it was probably just sensitivity.  But it never went away. Julian fixed this in just one session. I couldn’t believe it. I thought it might’ve taken a week or two to feel the difference but, pretty much, my first meal after the appointment I was back to normal again. The pain’s gone

AMAZING.. is all i can say about this dental office. As soon as i walked in the receptionist Macy was pleasant , friendly and professional. She’s awesome! I went to two prior dentist before coming here and to put it lightly i had a horrible experience. They both told me i needed a procedure that was going to cost me a lot of money. Dr Nguyen was able to save my original tooth and saved me sooo much money, instead of just selling me something that i didn’t need. I waited about a week before writing a review to see if there would be any pain or if my procedure was unsuccessful, but NOPE. I have no pain and no complications. In this office your not just a number your are a priority. Dr. Nguyen was kind. informative and most important honest. After my consult i was told i couldn’t make an appointment until a month later. i was bummed because i was looking for an apt asap but i was willing to wait because of the great first impression i had from the DR. I told the receptionist this and she informed me that if she had any cancelations she would let me know right away so that i could get in quicker. True to her word Macy called me within 20 mins and offered me a cancelation spot for that very same day.  HOW AWSOME IS THAT! This time when i went in, I meet Rosy the tech and she was so nice and helpful. Macy put on Netflix for me while i waited which made the time fly by. Dr Nguyen is not just about the profit , he’s about the quality of service. This Dr is awesome people!! I never write reviews but i made an exception for this. Best Dentist in Pasadena!

A WORD FROM YOUR DOCTOR
