PATIENT REVIEWS

If I could give them 10 stars I would! A really great bunch of people and Dr Luu is very kind, patient and gentle when it comes to her patients. I recently moved into the area and needed a new dentist so, I did a search for the best reviews and I am happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. Every procedure is explained to you prior to your treatment by her knowledgeable staff and Dr Luu takes her time to answer your questions. Everyone there treats you with kindness and respect, a very casual professional environment you will definitely feel comfortable in. If you are looking for a new dentist or would like to get a second opinion about a procedure I would suggest you give Dr Luu a try. God Bless !

I was really glad I caved in and finally got my impacted/infected wisdom teeth extracted. I had been putting it off for years but this past week it just became too much to bear. So I called in an emergency extraction at several places but none would take me that same day (6/16/20), then I came across this one and was immediately taken in for X-rays. Got prescribed antibiotics and pain killers along with an appointment for surgery on (6/19/20). I’m really happy with the work done, it was more nerve wracking than anything, but once I was getting worked on… It went off with a cinch. Quick and painless procedure. Two wisdom teeth and a molar taken out. I highly recommend coming here, I never thought it’d be this fast and easy. Will be going back to get more work done later this month. Thanks a lot!

I must start by saying that I am deathly afraid of dentists….and after neglecting my teeth for too long, one started giving me problems. After it came loose and in fear of actually loosing it I contacted Dr. Brianne Luu’s office at 6:30 p.m. on a Tuesday night. To my delight they were open AND willing to see me for my “emergency” (in my mind it was lol) that very night! YAY… Of course I needed a root canal on a front tooth! My fault..Two days later my appointment came up and I was very anxious. She made sure I was comfortable and relaxed, next thing I knew I was dosing off as she was doing what she does best! I have had 3 root canals in my life and I HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS THE BEST EXPERIENCE at a dentists office EVER!! I am so glad I found my new permanent dentist. Thank you Dr. Brianne Luu for being so good at what you do!

Dr. Luu and her staff are the most professional and friendly staff I’ve ever dealt with in my 44 years of going to the dentist. I’ve been with her for six years now and haven’t had one bad experience. Dr. Luu is a caring person besides being a professional. I’ve never had one problem with pain and she has been more than generous in working with me on the financial part of it but her pricing is very reasonable. My wife and all my kids are equally as happy. I highly recommend this Dentist practice and Dr. Luu!

Dr. Luu and Gentle Care Dentistry. My wife and I was looking for a local dentist and found Gentle Care Dentistry though our insurance listing. She read reviews about this dentist and told me that this is the one. After meeting Dr. Luu and her staff she decided to have her work on her teeth. She told me how nice Dr. Luu was to her as well as the rest of the staff and was very satisfied with the results. About a month ago I was experiencing sharp pains with a tooth in my mouth. I’m not really comfortable about going to the dentist because of a really bad experience I had quite a few years ago. My wife convinced me to go to get checked out by Gentle Care Dentistry about 2 weeks ago. Dr. Luu examined me and told me that rather than pulling my tooth that she can save it. She reassured me that everything is going to be alright. I was happy to hear that so the following week I came back and was a little nervous. I don’t like painful work in my mouth. After applying the anaesthetics, she went to work. Oh did I mention that you can watch your choice of cable tv while they work on you. Usually the moment the drill hits the tooth, I feel some pain or the movements of the drill to a point that I’m gripping the chair arms really tight. Tight enough to tear the foam out of it. But this time, for the first time I felt absolutely nothing, really! I was not gripping the arms tight at all. My tooth has been saved thanks to Dr. Luu and I walk out with my smile.  She did a fantastic job on my tooth and look forward to having it completed this week. My wife (thank you) and I are very satisfied with the work we have received. We highly recommended Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone. Dr. Luu and her staff are great! Thank you Gentle Care Dentistry.

Dr. Luu is the best. I went to another dentist in Azusa. They had to remove some of the mercury amalgam fillings in my teeth. I didn’t know it at the time but there are specific procedures to be followed. With Dr. Lu they took all the latest precautions while removing the ones that had not been removed. It made me feel more confident that someone cared enough to follow the highest and safest standards. Now my whole family is going to Dr. Luu.

I have never been to a dentist office were they make you feel so welcomed and comfortable. Dr Luu goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and make sure you are well taken care of. She has an awesome staff that always have a smile on their face. Strongly recommend her to anyone in search of a dentist.

Gentle Care Dentistry is the best dental experience you could ever hope for!  I had braces when I was a teen (not gentle care) and became completely turned off at ever wanting see a dentist ever again. I started coming to Gentle Care a few years ago and was quickly impressed by their attentiveness (your appointment time is really your appointment time). Dr. Luu is not only a sweetheart but also an amazing dentist with great attention to every detail. All of the staff is very friendly and professional, and Dr. Luu always seems to have the latest technology which makes you feel like you’re getting the best of care. I couldn’t imagine going anywhere else and would highly recommend Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dentist.

As the name of the place call “Gentle care dentistry”, Dr Luu is indeed very gentle. She was meticulous and always did a great job. I went there mainly to removed many of my amalgam fillings and replace with composite. Because a lot of the dentists don’t have the devices it requires for safely amalgams removal, I had found her place on the internet randomly. And I’m very glad I found her. In addition, I was originally plan to extract my Wisdom tooth when I go back to my country since is cheaper, but since her skill is good and very gentle, I finally decide to let her do it too because she is the dentist I can trust. I really appreciate of what she have done for me.

I’ll start off by saying that I used to be terrified of the dentist. I hadnt been in years, but a cracked tooth acouple months back gave me little choice but to go looking for one. So I began looking through the lists of dentists my insurance would cover me to see and I came across Dr Brianne Luu and something inside me said to call. The woman that answered the phone had a kind voice and I could hear general concern in her voice when I told her my situation, and told me I could come in at my earliest convenience. They were able to fit me in for later that day and when I showed up I met Ruth. She was the one who took my call and she was just as nice in person. I then met Jeannette and Dr Luu and they all passed my expectations. I started to cry as I was told I needed a route canal and Jeannette took my hand gave me a tissue and told me she had seen people so comfortable during Dr Luu’s procedures they had fallen asleep, and she wasnt lying. My route canal literally felt like a tooth massage. The next time I came in was to fill some cavities that I had accumulated through the years of no dental work and they were the same as my route canal, very relaxing. This time when I came in the girls asked me how my work was going, how my friend was that had accompanied me in my original visit, it amazed me how much attention they had paid to everything that I had told them during my last visit. And what was even more amazing was that they werent just asking to make conversation, or even just to make me feel comfortable, it was because they actually care.
Yesterday I had the worst toothache of my life, I was at work literally crying in front of clients when I knew I had to call, luckily they are open every other Saturday. Dr Luu answered the phone and told me she could fit me in at 11, words cannot describe how thankful I was. When I came in they couldn’t see anything physically wrong with the tooth I was complaining about, but seeing my tears they did everything they could fix the problem. It was decided that my wisdom tooth was the cause of my pain and right then and there they took it out for me. This was all in between assiting other guests who im sure they attend with the same caring attitude they do for me. In closing, Dr Luu is hands down the most amazing dentist I have ever seen, and as a child I had seen a lot. Not only is she an amazing dentist, but an amazing human being. And I cannot of course forget about Ruth and Jeannette, who always make me feel like I am literally apart of their family. I can honestly say that because of them not only am I no longer afraid to go to the dentist, but I look forward to it.

Gentle care dentistry goes far beyond the name, it also represents the lovely and devoted staff I have encountered. Making an appointment for the dentist has never been more exciting! Being a full time student also working part time it was nearly impossible for me to have any down time to make my yearly visit but with the help of Dr. Luu and staff I was able to get my teeth the care they needed. This business offers an affordable PLUS reasonable price, which can fit anyone’s pocket size. Recently, I’ve had a tooth removed. Let me say, first of all, ZERO pain! The doctor makes sure the patient is comfortable and relaxed, secondly the tooth was taken out within five minutes. I would highly recommend Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone in search of a clean, child friendly, and job well done environment.

Let me start off by saying they have the nicest staff and customer service of any dentistry I’ve come across. I chipped my tooth around 10pm and so I called them wanting to set up an appointment. Even thought they were closed at the time by almost 4 hours they still managed to pick up the phone. Because it was an urgent repair they managed to fit me in after hours the NEXT DAY. When I went into the office they were just as nice in person as they were on the phone. They took my X-rays and fixed my tooth all in the same day for a reasonably inexpensive price. Making sure my tooth was as perfect as I wanted it to be the whole process was quick and painless. Thank you Gentle Care for making me feel comfortable.

Dr. Luu is amazing. I found her through Yelp last year and she helped me with an emergency tooth extraction. I had initially gone to Bright Now Dental for them to pull out a tooth that had an infection. Long story short, they made it so complicated and actually insisted I come back on another day because their tooth extractor wasn’t in…..ok you are a dental office full of dentists but no one could pull a tooth that day for me?? By the time I found Dr. Luu a couple of days later, I was in so much pain due to swelling that had occurred around the tooth. She saw me the same day I had called and was even able to pull that dang tooth out. Wow. relief from all that pain!!! She was so sweet and gave me a sense of ease while she helped me. Fast forward a year and here I am again at her office for some fillings and a standard cleaning and everything has been going great. My mouth honestly feels cleaner and I’m so please to have found such a reliable place go to for my dental needs. Her office is clean and spacious with AC  There is plenty of parking.  On top of that, her assistant Ruth is the best. She brings you cold bottled water as you’re waiting in the dental chair in case you have dry mouth Overall, definitely a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a new dentist.

Dr. Luu was highly recommend by my extended family who have been seeing her for years. I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Luu and her staff (Jocelyn, Ruth, and Joanna).  I have totally avoided seeing any dentist for years due to terrible experiences (all I can remember was pain and misery).  Now I can honestly say that all my previous perception and anxieties of  seeing a Dentist’s have been throw out the window. From the moment you walk in to the minute you leave, you are treated like family.  Dr. Luu and her staff take the extra time and care to listen to all the worries and make you feel as comfortable as possible. I had extensive dental work done and the pain was minimal to none.  Dr. Luu and Staff have created such a warm and caring environment  that I actually look forward to my appointments. The late office hours are fantastic and work well with my busy schedule. Thank you Dr. Luu for fixing my smile 🙂 **P.S. You can watch Netflix while they work- Big Plus!!**

(…) I’m posting this on behalf of my sister who, along with kids, recently visited Dr. Luu for dental checkups and cleanings. Dr. Luu is a great dentist for adults and kids.  She is very gentle. She makes you feel at ease.  You don’t have to wait long as she will usually take her patients in right away.  She will explain to you what your problems are and give you recommendations.  It’s a very pleasant and low pressure. Dr. Luu is very patient with the little ones. She knows how to make kids feel comfortable. She has a toy chest for the little ones.   Dr. Luu’s assistant Ruth is also extremely helpful and friendly. Dr. Luu speaks English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. It’s easy to find her office and there are plenty of parking space outside. She takes most insurance and is very accommodating. If you are looking for a dentist for yourself or your family, please consider Dr. Luu.  I can’t recommend her enough.

#My dentist for life  Dr Luu is the best dentist I have ever had. The Dr is so informative, educated  and welcoming from the second you walk in you feel like your home .. every time I go for a check up or service I am always walking away with a smile. Super clean and all new equipment and great staff.  This is the only dentist I will ever need. Thank you Dr Luu your truly the best. # love my dentist.

I’m very thankful for Dr. Luu. She demonstrates patience and professionalism as a dentist. Not only is she attentive to detail but she’s compassionate as a professional as well; and that’s difficult to find, especially in a dentist. There’s genuine care and concern for a patient’s oral health. Most of the time, medical professionals tend to filter patients out without putting in much time or effort, but Dr. Luu takes the time to complete the work thoroughly. You can really see she holds high standards and strong work ethic for herself as a professional. I continue to seek out her services because I know she’s willing to go above and beyond when it comes to attending to my oral health.

First, I have to say that I was extremely nervous to see a dentist due to bad experiences in the past. I was embarrassed and ashamed because my teeth were in very bad shape. What led me to Gentle Care Dentistry were the positive reviews I have read. I have to say that Dr. Brianne Luu and her team earned every one of those reviews. Her kindness and compassion reassured me that I made the right choice. She makes sure to explain every procedure and takes the time to answer any questions. She speaks with you about a dental plan with no judgment. (I have had this issue in the past with other dentists). With each visit I became more confident and its all due to Dr. Luu’s gentleness and professionalism. Dr. Luu and her dental hygienist, Vanessa, make sure that you are comfortable throughout each procedure. I am greatly appreciative of this team and highly recommend Gentle Care Dentistry.

Ditto! Honey Bunny – Hubby & Wife finally agreeing on so. Dr. Luu and Gentle Care Dentistry. My wife and I  was looking for a local dentist and found Gentle Care Dentistry though our insurance listing. She read reviews about this dentist and told me that this is the one. After meeting Dr. Luu and her staff she decided to have her work on her teeth. She told me how nice Dr. Luu was to her as well as the rest of the staff and was very satisfied with the results.

My wife (thank you) and I are very satisfied with the work we have received. We highly recommended Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone. Dr. Luu and her staff are great! Thank you Gentle Care Dentistry.

Dr. Luu is so knowledgeable, super with children, loving and caring. I have recommended her to ALL my friends and family. She has treated my children, granddaughter as well as me. My 8 year-old granddaughter, Audrey, had a HORRIBLE experience with the previous dentist. They tied her down on a board when they were working on her teeth. She was crying and screaming, but they just worked on her anyways. Being strapped down physically and emotionally traumatized my granddaughter. She has been terrified about going to the dentist ever since. Audrey started crying when Dr. Luu’s assistant took her X-rays, and she couldn’t stop crying throughout the exam. She had 4 big cavities and needed treatment! We were nervous whether Dr. Luu can do the treatment at all. WOW, were we surprised! Dr. Luu was so patient and just sat there and talked and talked to Audrey, showed and told Audrey step by step what she was going to do. Eventually, Audrey was able to calm down and stopped crying. When she stopped crying, the staff had her breathe into a mask which has laughing gas. After that, Audrey was calm and very relaxed so the doctor can do the treatment. Thank you so much Dr. Luu and Jeanette and Ruth for helping my granddaughter. Audrey was so happy she didn’t have to be tied down again, not to mention the toys she got!! She’s also using the floss and princess toothbrush she got before she left the office.

I was thoroughly impressed with the care I received at Gentle Care Dentistry.  The shot was practically painless.  Dr. Luu was really gentle and caring.  She initially placed some vaseline on my lips to prevent any lip cracking during the ordeal of having one’s mouth opened during the long dental treatment.   I knew I found a great dentist after the vaseline on the lips cause this showed me that she really care about her patients.  I’ve never had any dentist that has shown that kind of consideration for their patients before. Really happy with the result of my filing.  Will recom to all my friends.

I have been in CA for 15 years and I have had the worst luck trying to find a dentist. I would have settled for a good dentist, but even that has been a challenge. However, Dr.Brianne Luu is a diamond in the ruff. She is not just a good dentist, she is exceptional. She takes pride in her work and has a kind and patient approach to those like myself that do not handle dental visits well. She offers stress balls, sunglasses, lip balm, and Netflix to make your visit more comfortable. She is attentive to your needs, as well as meets you on a personal level and shows she really cares about you as a person and not just another client. No, I did not know her before my visit and have never met her before. I found her through a google search and I saw she had a 5 star rating. I was skeptical at first thinking there has to be a mistake, but no, she earned every star. Her office is very clean and modern, the staff are very knowledgeable and friendly, and you leave feeling pleased and more confident in knowing you received quality work. They provide a breakdown of what the services will cost before they start the work, so it is clear without any surprises. My husband is also now a client of hers and is very pleased with her work. Worth every penny.

I cannot explain how truly Grateful I am! I had a bad experience that kept me from the dentist for over 20 years forcing me to LIVE in pain! I finally had enough and prayed that God would send me to the RIGHT dentist…I believe he did! This Dr. Was SO GENTLE and she REALLY listened and UNDERSTOOD my fears and she totally put me at ease! I am so happy to say I no longer FEAR the dentist because of her!…and I feel like a whole new person I am so grateful to the Dr. & her staff could not be more sweet they all made me feel very welcome & TAKEN CARE OF! I would recommend this Dentistry to anyone that ask and especially to those who have had bad experiences I will never go to another Dentistry! Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the Dr. & her staff!.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Luu for years now. I travel about 45 minutes from the South Bay Area. I keep coming back because of the time and patience Dr. Luu takes with each and every patient. She makes the procedures simple, easy and painless. You don’t feel like you’re in the traditional dentist setting, which can make the younger ones feel intimated. It’s a very warm and welcoming office with friendly staff. I would recommend Gentle Care Dentistry to anyone and everyone!!

After weeks of wisdom teeth pain and a bad dentist experience I was hesitant to go even though my mouth felt like death. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Lu and her staff. Personable, courteous, and genuine. Both Dr.  and her staff are thorough and make sure your comfortable physically and mentally (for wimps like me). They even have Netflix while you wait! Had my wisdom tooth pulled the same day. Didn’t feel a thing. Thank you, Dr! I finally found a good dentist. 5 stars is simply not enough.

I’ve been coming to Dr. Luu for the past 5 months and the care she and her staff has provided me has always been top service! They’re extremely flexible with my schedule since I work business hours. I normally come in right after work and they graciously stay a little after hours to accommodate me. She does such great work and I recently had a root canal done and I can’t even feel it or tell! I’ve told Dr. Luu multiple times how much I appreciate her and her staff and their attentiveness. Thank you Dr. Luu and all the girls for taking care of me!

My family and I just had an appointment with Dr. Luu a few days ago and our visit was excellent. My family and I enjoy going to Dr. Luu because her and her staff make us feel warm and welcome. We enjoy the way she takes her time with each of us and explains what she is doing and what we might expect to feel. When it comes to our young sons she is extra gentle. She makes them feel comfortable and fearless. Before she does anything to them she talks to my wife and me. She makes sure that we understand and answer all of our questions. We would highly recommend Dr. Luu and her staff to anyone and their family that is looking for a great dentist that care about her patients.

I have been a patient for Dr.Luu for about 3-4yrs now. My experience has been great! she’s friendly along with the rest of her staff. Their office offers Flexible hours and they open on some Saturdays which is very convenient. Today I went in for a broken tooth and she fixed it quickly with no pain at all. She always asks me if I’m okay every step of the way while performing procedures. I feel confident that she will address my every needs every time anything comes up. Thank you!

For a long time I have avoided the dentist because of some of my past experiences have been very painful. I was a little worried and scared that it would be the same this time around. However, Dr. Luu and her staff have been making every visit more comfortable. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Luu’s for 2yrs now and I am happy to say that I’ve been coming back for routine clean ups, had wisdom teeth removed, and just had my teeth imprints for Invisiline braces. Another great thing is Dr. Luu continues to be informed and improves her practice. I still don’t like going to the dentist, but she makes the process and overall experience much more pleasant. This for me is huge plus and I am thankful to her and her staff for an awesome experience that my wife and I have had.

We were visiting family in Glendora when my youngest kid ate some hard candy and broke a tooth. My sister in law called her dentist. Dr. Luu, right away and despite the fact we are not patients of her, she was able to see my daughter and help her and got her out of pain. Dr. Luu and her staff are incredible nice and  so professional. Our dentist at home was able to pick  up her work right and finish of my daughter’s broken tooth. Wish we could have stayed long enough for Dr. Luu to finish her great job. My daughter hates going to the dentist but she connected with Dr. Luu right away and felt home the minute we walked through the door. Thank you again for treating us like family even though we were just travelers, Dr. Luu!.

Dr. Brianne Luu and her team are awesome! They are extremely skilled professionals with a passion for people. My son enjoys his general cleanups, my wife loves her new smile, due to Dr. Luu’s awesome orthodontics program, and I finally got my mercury fillings out through her gentle and safe protocol! Thank you Dr. Luu and team!.

I’ve been going to this place since I was a young teenager. I absolutely love Dr. Luu and her staff. They are really great! Super friendly and amazing! I actually have phobia of dentist in general since I was a young child due to bad experiences. Dr. Luu and her staff understood my fear and were very patience! They always let me know what will happen and were completely honest with me about everything. I couldn’t thank them enough after all these years! I also recently had finished my 6 Months Smile braces from this place! It may be hard to believe that braces would only last about 6 months but it works!! After they took off my braces on Tuesday, they made sure that I’m completely satisfied. I couldn’t thank them enough for their warmth and service!

I have been going to this Dentistry for years now; as I grew older and begun to make my own appointments, I began to appreciate the extra mile this place goes for me. They are very accommodating to my schedule. They call me in advance to remind me of my appointments and should the need come are willing to change that appointment last minute. Dr. Luu is one of a kind and has always been very kind towards me. She also is very personal and empathetic in a good way. She doesn’t just see you as a patient to be dealt with and on to the next; she takes time to genuinely learn about you and build a relationship with you. It’s not just her, but her staff as well treat me the same way. It makes the whole experience very comforting rather than a dreadful visit to the dentist. The work is always done quickly and efficiently as well without any fuss. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this Dentistry to anyone looking for quality care.

Dr. Luu and Gentle Care Dentistry was referred to me by a few people that I work with. The moment I walked in her staff knew that I was very nervous. So many years have gone by that I have not gone to the dentist due to so many bad experiences. There is a lot of work yet to be done and she and her team and their “nurse” are always looking for my best interest because they care. I have had dentists who just don’t communicate with me, who have run out of materials for a root canal which led to an infection, to being disrespected by other dentists with an obvious over-inflated ego. Gentle Care Dentistry has done a super job at making me feel as comfortable as possible. In my case, they have a patient forever!!.

Like a lot of young children I had a bad experience at the dentist so I was very reluctant to go to one as I got older. I was referred to Dr. Luu by my sister because I was having a very painful toothache. I ended up having to get a root canal and a few weeks after that an extraction and both were virtually painless. She and her staff are very kind, welcoming and accommodating to all of their patients. They are happy to answer any questions and concerns that you have. Dr, Luu and her staff are passionate about their profession and take the time to be gentle and thorough with every procedure they perform on their patients. I would definitely recommend Dr. Luu to anyone that is looking for a new dentist, she is awesome. Thank you Dr. Luu and your awesome staff….keep up the great work.
