I have been coming to this office for my dental work for about 15 years. Recently, I had my crown replaced (Front tooth). I had a temporary crown while waiting for my permanent crown to be made. The temporary crown came loose (which is normal for me because of my bite) the night before a holiday (4th of July) which I had big dinner plans for. Dr. Don came in to the office the morning of the 4th of July to re-cement my temporary crown so that I could still attend my event. Would your dentist come in on a holiday for you? Seriously, this is the BEST dentist’s office!! When I got my permanent crown a few days later I was so happy with it! Dr. Don matched the color and shape to my other front tooth perfectly. It looks so natural now. You can’t even tell I have a crown anymore.  The entire staff are friendly and personable. They get to know you on a personal level and take an interest in getting to know you. They feel like family to me!
I highly recommend this office.

Great Office, the dentist and staff are personable and very accommodating. Relaxed atmosphere in a comfortable surrounding. Would recommend to anyone looking for quality work and a family dentist.

Wow, what a pleasant dental experience. I am extremely happy with the staff, my dentist, and my hygienist. Everyone was knowledgeable and made me feel in good hands. I love to smile and need my teeth to look their best. I am very selective with who works on my teeth and I found them, Laguna Hills Modern Dentistry. This is a great practice and highly recommended.

I had a root canal with Dr.Don and out of the 3 I’ve had this was by far the best experience I’ve had with any dentist. Staff is so accommodating and so friendly. And Dr. Don was always checking to make sure I was comfortable and ok. He always told me what he was doing and how it was going. This was great because the fear of the unknown like most dentist can eat at you. Amazing experience and would recommend to anyone.

I was looking for a new dentist in the area and was referred to Dr. Don and I couldn’t be happier! Everyone is so kind and friendly and very professional. They did such an amazing job as well, my teeth were glowing afterwards! They also have a great special for new patients. I would definitely recommend this dental practice to anyone and will be back for my next 6 month visit!

(…)Dr Don removed decay on three of my teeth today and did a great job. He took the time to show me the location of the decay and explained to me what he was doing. He was able to remove the decay with no tooth pain. Dr Don personally called me after office hours to see how my teeth were feeling.

If you’re looking for a professional dentistry with knowledgeable hygienists and dentists then this is your place. I highly recommend this dental practice to anyone and I’ll continue to be a patient here for many years to come.

This is the first time I’ve been here.   Great location!  
My hygienist was amazing!  I would request for Melissa.  She was gentle and very friendly.   Dr. Don did a thorough exam on me, and I felt that he was very personable and professional.   The X-rays were easy, and I had a couple of white fillings to do.  He did them the same day!  So awesome.

Cassidy T. from Long Beach, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Always a pleasure coming here. I love all of the amazing staff that makes me feel welcome and comfortable. I never used to like going to the dentist growing up but I actually look forward to my cleanings now. They are efficient while still being very personable. Zahra is a great hygienist! I am never in any pain and I leave with my teeth feeling fresh. The front desk staff is always kind and makes scheduling appointments really easy.

I just met Dr. Don Nguyen on this last visit and it was awesome to hear his story and learn that he has wanted to be a dentist since he was a kid. You can tell he loves what he does and that is really important to me as a patient.

I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a new dentist.

★★★★★

The Hills Modern Dentistry does an excellent job from start to finish. I’ve never been a big fan or even the thought of getting dental work in general. But they do an excellent job of taking all the anxiety out of the process. They always accommodate my busy schedule, are friendly, polite and respectful. From booking my appointments to billing and insurance claims with Julie, to the gentle touch and detail orientated, work Alicia does with my cleanings and X rays. I always leave with a good feeling and a fresh mouth! I’ve been a patient for over 15 years now! and I’m looking forward to many more along with my entire family!

First timer here! The staff was so welcoming and helpful. They put me at ease and answered my endless questions! Nice office too, I guess they just remodeled, whatever has changed it was really pleasant to be in. Dr. Don was great! (who likes to go to the dentist??) He had all these different suggestions and ways of addressing my dental issues, things I hadn’t been told before at other dentists. All and all from the people to the place to the treatment I had done, really recommend checking them out.

(…)What really made a huge impact on my experience that is different from what I’ve ever experienced in the past with prior offices was that (partner doctor) and Dr. Nguyen came in to introduce themselves and greet me. They told me that they want to value and always treat their patients how they would want to be treated – excellent care and complete honesty. The consultation everyone gets there is personal, informative and you don’t feel rushed. There are no pushy sales-type here, seriously.

I’ve been to quite a few dental offices in the past and this is the 1st time I have ever walked out of a dental office feeling like what took place there was exactly what I needed and chose for myself. I have already referred many of family, friends, & colleagues to switch to The Hills Modern Dentistry!

First visit was awesome. Everybody’s so welcoming and so nice. Dr. Don gave me a little introduction about their dentistry and he’s so friendly. Not only they did a great job with my cleaning, they also thought me how to prevent cavities. I will definitely go back.

★★★★★

Dr. Don is absolutely wonderful!! As is his entire staff! I have been going to him for about 4 years and the experience is always great. They are caring and gentle yet very thorough with their cleanings and treatments.  The office staff is always to friendly and I highly recommend them!

Olivia M. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I get my teeth cleaned here, and received my first filling as well.

Very nice people, knowledgeable staff, friendly atmosphere, and helpful information! I love the fact that they let customers know what’s going on with your teeth, as well as try to create relationships with their customers. They are businesslike, yet they do not let that hinder how they relate to their clientele.  Most importantly, they know what they’re doing, and they want you to feel secure and well-cared-for!

This is the best dentist office I have ever been to!. Dr Don and (partner dentist) are friendly, knowledgeable and extremely skilled. I have had two implants done in this office and Dr Don did a great job. I’m so happy with the results. The office staff is wonderful. Julie is so helpful and excellent at her job. I highly recommend the dentist office!

Melissa R. from Palm Springs, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I had my first appointment at The Hills Modern Dentistry last week and really enjoyed it! The waiting room was clean with plenty of seating, the staff was very personable and inviting and Dr. Don was friendly and thorough. I felt my appointment very impressed with Dr. Don’s practice and very excited to visit again.

(…) Highly recommend this office and its staff!!  I get cleanings 3x a year and just signed up for Invisalign after Dr. Don explained how easy and inexpensive it was, so excited to FINALLY have straight teeth!! 🙂

Kimberly A. from Aliso Viejo, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

I had been a patient of (the previous owner) for years and when he retired, he passed along his business to “Dr. Don,” whom I just saw yesterday for the first time. If you are considering going to Dr. Don, let me assure you it will be just as fabulous as (the previous owner). He is gentle, patient and LOVES what he does as much as I do (I’m a Permanent Makeup artist specializing in corrections). But I was most impressed when Dr. Don called me personally to follow-up on my visit: who does that anymore (besides my office)?!?

Alison B. from New York, NY (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

BEST DENTAL OFFICE! I used to dread going to the dentist and now I look forward to my visits. I love catching up with everyone in the office and only wish my mouth was not getting worked on so I could talk to the staff more! Very professional and friendly office and thanks to their care I am now flossing more and feeling happier, healthier, and having a lighter wallet!

Pravin S. from Irvine, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

Dr. Don is my favorite dentist .. they have some very good hygienists as well and I come here regularly for my cleanings.  Appointments are easy to make and staff is always friendly.  I highly recommend this place to anyone.

Abhisek J. from San Diego, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)The location is located in the front of the building and offers a nice sunny experience while getting the pearly whites cleaned. My hygienist was amazing, she was very gentle and very friendly.  Dr. Don did a thorough exam on me, and checked out some fillings he had done a few years back. No complaints there. Just the usual you need to floss more…

Steve T. from Laguna Hills, CA (Source: Yelp)

★★★★★

(…)as a former dentist, and now Dr. Don’s patient, I find him to be a very honest, caring dentist. Not an overseller, like so many dentists have become today. When I was a dentist I was very honest and conservative with my patients. I find Dr. Don to be the same way. Very conservative, honest, and skilled. All of my former patients who I have talked to and who now go to Dr. Don are very happy with him. Not a single complaint from any of them. Julie at the front desk is also a sweety. I am very proud to say Dr. Don is an excellent dentist who I can highly recommend.
