Douglas Nguyen Orthodontics
Douglas Nguyen, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I’ve had the greatest opportunity and pleasure to have worked with Dr. Douglas Nguyen and his staff in goals of having the perfect smile! Before braces, I had a pretty bad underbite and crooked teeth. 5 years later, I now have the straightest, brightest set of teeth and I’m completely in love with the results! I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Douglas Nguyen to have him go over the in-depth process to obtain that perfect smile. Not to mention, his staff and personnel are highly professional and they are happy to answer any questions or concerns during your visits. Their office is always spotless and the environment is super friendly! Although other appointment times might overlap with one another which then results in a later office visit or more waiting time, please keep in mind that the staff is doing their very best with trying to uphold and maintain their policy of professionalism. They are very thorough with their work and want to make sure that every patient that goes through their doors comes out satisfied and happy with their treatment. Going through the process of having braces was definitely worth the time and money because having a perfect smile for the rest of your life is truly something else! I cannot thank Dr. Douglas and his friendly staff enough for my own perfect smile.

This place is a very friendly and professional orthodontist. The workers here are extremely nice and you get to feel connected personally. I’ve been here for about 2 years for braces and throughout the whole time I’ve loved it. If anywhere throughout the process you feel uncomfortable whether it’s for tightening or impression, just give them a shoutout and they adjust accordingly. I strongly recommend anyone considering to get braces to come here as I’ve personally loved my stay at this orthodontist. Dr. Douglas Nguyen is a wonderful doctor as he inspects your teeth for how long it takes until it’s perfect straight without any problems. Steve is a super friendly and caring guy who helped me tremendously throughout my stay here; he’s very professional at the same time while connecting to his patients at a super friendly level. Everyone here is especially nice from receptionist to doctor and I’m just super glad I came here to get a nice, perfect smile.

The environment here is clean and friendly compared to other places I’ve been to originally. The staff is friendly and will always treat you like their number one priority making sure you leave the office with a bright smile. When it comes to the front office staff, A B B Y has been the most helpful. She greets everyone with a smile when you first enter the orthodontist. In the back, Josue is gentle and is able to get the job done quickly. He’ll take the time to make sure that what he’s done is perfect. Overall, I feel that this is the best place to go if you’re looking for a healthy and clean environment with welcoming staff.

i recently got my braces off like three days ago and the staff were being so cool and nice about it, especially sarah and abby. sarah always is on it with my appointments and abby makes me feel welcomed there. at first when my mom told me she was gonna take me there, at first i was skeptical because it looked like such a small space and i was having doubts but when i walked in it was so pretty, they decorate very well and it’s nice to look at while you’re waiting for your turn. not gonna lie they’re bathroom looks really good too props to them. the tv room is vibin too, the movies are interesting to watch. i love how it just fits with the chairs and it’s not just awkwardly there. they respect requests too, the appointment before i got my braces taken off, i asked dr. if he could get me takis and he actually got them for me! i’m gonna wait for you to name better orthodontist that make teeth look fresh and buys you chips, he’s a real one. all in all for the past three years i’ve been going i enjoyed all my appointments and i’m kinda gonna miss going there every other month.

Dr. Douglas is simply the best. He’s kind, professional, and very gentle with my teeth. I felt very comfortable every time he worked on my teeth. I’m very sensitive but was never in pain. His staff is also very nice. Steve is my favorite, he’s great at what he does and is very gentle with me. Almost all of the staff has worked on my teeth and Steve is by far the best. The office is very modern, new, and clean; even the bathroom is always clean. Appointments are always scheduled a month in advance. I’m very pleased with the result from my braces. I had braces on for 2.5 years and had the ceramic braces. In my opinion it looks better than traditional braces but a little bit more maintenance, there are some foods you need to avoid so it doesn’t stain the rubber bands. My face is not symmetrical and jaw surgery was recommended to correct my jaws. Dr. Douglas worked his magic and I didn’t have to get jaw surgery. I got my braces off early for a wedding but my teeth still came out great. I wear the clear retainers, only at night. For the longest time, I didn’t feel comfortable smiling or laughing, now I’m not afraid to show my teeth and I love to smile. The struggle of having braces is totally worth it. I live in Riverside but I’m still very glad I decided to go with Dr. Douglas.

This review is long overdue but I just had to say I would not wholeheartedly recommend anyone else in SoCal but Dr. Douglas for orthodontics. He is meticulous, precise, caring and really prioritizes quality and comfort in every interaction. I had a relatively complicated case with a tight timeline and Dr. Douglas went above and beyond in maximizing every session we had together to make sure that I was able to finish treatment before I moved out of state. He has a very gentle, kind and calming demeanor that makes you feel instantly reassured and each and every one of my concerns were always fully heard and addressed. He is hands down the best orthodontist in OC, which is clearly reflected by how far booked out he always is. Nonetheless, his office was also extremely accommodating in scheduling my appointments around his totally packed schedule, working around both my narrow time frame for treatment and limited availability due to attending school in LA by pre-booking most of my appointments and squeezing me in on weekends. Unlike many of the medical offices in the Westminster area, his office is clean, modern, comfortable and well-stocked with an extensive variety of magazines and movies to keep you entertained while you wait. I always love the seasonal decorations that he puts up to make your visits feel festive around the holidays! The front desk staff and assistants (Amy, Sarah, Tramy, Steve, Josue are the ones I remember off hand) are all friendly and great at what they do. As an aspiring health care professional, I would definitely say Dr. Douglas embodies the way I hope to practice one day and you absolutely can’t go wrong with choosing him for your treatment. I have multiple family members and acquaintances who we’ve recommended him to and they are all beyond satisfied with their care. Nobody likes having braces, but it was honestly a pleasure to have mine done by his office. Thank you, Dr. Douglas!!

Dr. Douglas is the absolute best of the best! He knows what he’s doing and he does not rush the process. I love how family oriented his staff are and how Dr. Douglas treats everyone that steps into his office. Sara, Michelle, Abby, Paul, and a tall guy with nice eyebrows are my favorite! Sara, Michelle, and Abby are usually at the front desk and they really try to accommodate your every need. Paul and the tall guy with nice eyebrows always make sure you know what’s going on while they’re working on your teeth– they tell you what is happening and why it’s important, which is super important to me during the braces processes because I’m one of those people that feel like if my teeth don’t hurt then they’re not working lol. I love this staff and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!!

This place is Stupendous, the staff workers are friendly and helpful. A big thanks to Dr. Douglas he’s very sweet and kind. Shoutout to Sarah, Michelle, and Abby in the front office, they are the cutest and fun to talk too. The place looks very lovely, clean, neat, and comfy. I love ya’ll, Thank You for all the help.

As a second timer getting braces at the same place, I couldn’t be any more happier to jump right back into the hands of Dr. Douglas Nguyen and his wonderful staff. Originally, I lost my retainers after having a perfect smile from this place which I foolishly waited weeks to come and pick up another set of. This short time span drastically shifted my teeth, but thankfully, the receptionist to the line of doctors and just everyone there exudes vibes of professionalism and are great to be around so I got my second experience of having braces/retainers to be a breeze. I normally don’t find myself as an extroverted talker, but the comfortability these guys provide is unparalleled compared to other orthodontic offices. I truly felt connected in a personal level and was very pleased with the care this place provides and they make sure you leave happy alongside packing you home in due time with a perfect, straight and clean smile. P.S. For anyone considering braces, don’t hesitate to come to this office as it even has a TV lounging area located on the inside for patients with newly relevant movies they stream so as not to bore the waiting time, if rarely any, they possess. Once again, thank you to all the people in this office for a 5/5 star experience from a lifelong customer who will probably be back for my third time seeing as how my clumsiness gets the better of me always misplacing my retainers and what not. 🙂

I began my braces process in 2007 and got my braces off in 2010. I’m writing this review today because 1. I just went back to get another pair of retainers and 2. I am still in love with my teeth/ smile! 🙂 I noticed that a lot of these less than 5 star reviews pertain his staff and availability, I’m sorry, but these reviews negate the purpose of coming to an orthodontist, and that’s to get the smile you want. Honestly, I love Dr. Douglas because I still remember how wonderful my experience was at this office- the cleanliness, the staff, the waiting rooms were always stocked with things to keep you busy, he even had a game cube back then (Not sure if it’s still there)! The timeliness and flexibility of this office is amazing, and Dr. Douglas’ standard of perfection can be seen with every smile which goes through his process. I still get a ton of compliments on my smile and this man is the one to thank. As a UCLA alum, I also respect that he did his residency at my school because it is competitive as hell, and that proves he damn well knows what he’s doing! At the end of it all, through the head gear, poor rubber band color choices, and an overdue retainer replacement, I’m just really really happy he had a way to give me this smile without pulling out any of my teeth! I wish I had before pics to show you the amount of work that took me to where I am today. Go here, you will not regret it, it took me an hour to commute to this office and another hour back for every visit, and my parents felt that it was and still is worthwhile. I am so very appreciative that he was the ortho that they chose for me!
