PATIENT REVIEWS

I’ve been doing to see Doctor Trieu for the better part of 15 years. I feel she really cares about her work and makes to make sure I get the best care possible. She has a quirky, funny personality that makes visiting her feel like seeing an old friend. I’ve gotten a lot of work done with her and always felt like she puts her patients health first. Highly recommend. Will repeat (again and again).

If you are looking for the best and most detailed oriented and super extra thorough then Dr Trieu is the one. She explains to you every single details and she does everything by her hand and she only takes one patient at a time that means no other patients will be there during your appointment which mean you get full attention. I highly recommend Dr Trieu for any friends or family and for anyone who really cares about their tooth and you only take care of what you want to keep right?!

My husband and I have been with Dr Trieu for many years! She is the best dentist I have ever had. Very meticulous and detail oriented, super friendly. Highly recommend!

Dr Trieu is the best dentist I’ve ever had. I’ve had other dentists before but never felt as satisfied or cared-for so as to actually recommend them to others. Now, I tell everyone I know to go to her! She is so thorough and professional that it makes a trip to the dentist something to look forward. Short of moving away from SoCal or dying in a bus accident, I’ll never have another dentist except her.

Dr Trieu is an artist with composite resin, she is very thorough and invests a lot of time on her patients, she really cares about your well-being and comfort, she also has a very nice sense of humor and I enjoy every visit ! Very Recommended.

I drive 40 miles for 15 years for dental work because she is a trieu dental genius! Removal of plaque surprising feels like a massage!!! Fillings feel smooth as butter. Highly skilled with her hands and she’s extremely passionate and meticulous with her work. I love that my teeth feel squeaky clean when I leave (she does all the cleaning).
Not to mention she genuinely cares about your health and you as a person.

Dr. Trieu did my crown and it lasted over 15 years! She is truly the best dentist in the area and I trust her completely. Not only is she a great dentist but an educator as well. She showed me how to properly take care of my teeth since I have a lot of bones loss and grind at night. Her office is very clean and hygienic. I recommend her if your looking for a dentist who has many years of experience and listen to her patients.

Dr. Trieu has been our dentist for the past 12 years. The cleaning is done by her and not an assistant. There is no wait time; she values her patients time. The office is super clean and well maintained.

Been using and recommending to friends services of Dr. Monica M. Trieu office for over 5 years. There are might be better equipped dentist labs out there, but Trieu team’s love for their job and care for their customers is unparalleled. Over years, Dr. Monica became more than a teeth doctor to me. She is a family friend, a therapist and a mentor. I admire the blend of wisdom of the East and science of the West, the honesty and curioucity, the health awareness and open mind of hers. It’s a great honor and pleasure to have a friend and a doctor like Monica.

I have known Dr Trieu since 2009.  She is passionate about her work and makes an extraordinary effort to deliver perfection in every procedure, whether it be a simple cleaning or a complex major repair.  Dr Trieu has an amazing attention to detail, and I can always feel her uncompromising personal commitment to my dental needs.  Linda, the receptionist / office manager, is the nicest kindest person you will ever find in a dentist’s office, and she also happens to be extremely knowledgeable and efficient.

I’ve been coming to see Dr. Trieu for 10 years, and I can affirm that she is a phenomenal dentist. She is kind, gentle, and has a wonderful sense of humor. I’ve had a few cavities filled by Dr. Trieu over the years, and each time, she was very attentive to my comfort level and eased my anxiety. She was so gentle, that I dozed off during the procedure! Furthermore, she does beautiful work, as I can’t even tell which teeth had the fillings, and I have to ask her to point them out to me to remind me. Dr. Trieu also provides excellent routine care, as she meticulously does the cleanings herself. She also takes the time to educate me on any changes she’s observed over time, even showing me years of xrays and photos to help me understand. I really appreciate her conservative approach to treatment, which helps to preserve as much of my natural teeth. And most importantly, she’s truly passionate about dentistry and caring for her patients, and that comes through during each of my visits. Lastly, I want to also acknowledge her wonderful staff, especially Linda at the front desk, who are always so kind and respectful, making each visit a delightful experience.

Dr. Monica Trieu is the best dentist I’ve ever had. She is really passionate about her dental work and obsesses over every little detail. A cleaning done at a normal dental office would be done by a hygienist and be over in 30 minutes. Not so for Dr. Trieu. She takes the better part of at least an hour to do the cleanings herself going over every part of every surface of all teeth at least once or twice.  I had some dental crowns put in by her as well that I seriously to this day cannot tell they are crowns and not my real teeth. At my old dentist where I had my first crown done it was not as detailed and basically completely smoothed over and felt completely fake to my tongue. The one Dr. Trieu put in to replace that one is top notch and feels like my other teeth down to the texture and grooves and everything. She took close to a half an hour to get the perfect impression of my teeth to send to her lab.

What a great experience! As a former Registered Dental Assistant I had dental treatment done by other dentists for the past 18 years and Dr. Trieu is a true dental magician! Painless anaesthetic ( which usually gives me anxiety) , prompt execution,  effortless isolation and so gentle! I even fell asleep for a while during my 90 minute treatment! I highly recommend this practice! Keep up the great work Dr. Trieu!

I have been a patient of Dr. Trieu for a long time and have been to different dentist office over the years. I don’t think you will find a doctor who is more passionate or detail oriented as Dr Trieu. She has hight quality standards, values cleanliness and very meticulous. She does  the teeth cleaning herself with the help of an assistant. Be prepared to spend  up to 1 & 1/2 hour when you get your teeth clean.  I trust her opinion. If she says I need to have something done, it’s not because she wants to make money off of me but because she sees a need. She is big on preventative care and wants her patients to have healthy teeth! And she has always been good about explaining why she thinks I need to have something done and I choose whether I want it done or not.

I have been a patient of several dentists over the years.  And the dentist demonstrating the most amount of care, skill, and integrity is Dr. Trieu.  I really like how she focuses on preventive care, which to me is the most import part of medicine.  It is not the most lucrative aspect of dentistry or medicine, which makes me appreciate Dr. Trieu caring more about my dental well being than making maximum profit.  I recommend all my family and friends to her.

I’ve had other dentists before but never felt as satisfied or cared-for so as to actually recommend them to others. Now, I tell everyone I know to go to her! She is so thorough and professional that it makes a trip to the dentist something to look forward. Short of moving away from SoCal or dying in a bus accident, I’ll never have another dentist except her.

Dr. Trieu is a great dentist. She does your cleaning, not an assistant. She has small hands (a plus for a dentist!) and has a great sense of humor. She cares about your needs. My husband and I moved out of state and made appointments to see her during a return visit. That’s how great she is!

I have been to many different dentist offices over the years and I have not found a dentist who is more passionate about dentistry or detail oriented as Dr Trieu. She has the highest quality standards, values cleanliness and is very meticulous. She does the teeth cleaning herself with the help of an assistant. Be prepared to spend up to 1 & 1/2 hour when you get your teeth clean. I trust her opinion. If she says I need to have something done, it’s not because she wants to make money off of me but because she sees a need. She is big on preventative care and wants her patients to have healthy teeth! She has always been good about taking time to explain and answer any questions I have if she recommends something. She doesn’t push me and I choose whether I want it done or not.

I’ve been going to Monica (Dr. Trieu) for most of my life, and I have to say that she truly is the best dentist. (I’ve had to go to others in that time when travelling or living far away). Monica definitely has a quirky personality, and she knows it, but she is a very personable and caring dentist. When your dentist handles your cleaning directly, that’s usually a good sign. Even a better sign when she’s as meticulous and detailed as Dr. Trieu is!
Ultimately, with something like dental care, you’re going to want to go to the best you can get, and Monica is THE BEST.

I ‘ve been going to Dr. Trieu for last 12 years. I am very lucky to have her as my dentist, who never gave me any cases of over-treatments. She is an inspiration of taking good care of oral health as part of wholesome healthy lifestyle. Dr. Trieu has small hands for gentle care and her friendly chat makes my time in dentist chair extraordinary pleasant experience.

My husband and I have been patients of Dr. Trieu for over 10 years now. Linda and her are an amazing team. The office is clean and well maintained. There is no wait time. She is professional, passionate about dentistry and has an awesome sense of humor!

Dr. Trieu is a true gem! She is honest, professional, and pleasant. Every time I am seen in her office I feel very at ease and comfortable, the staff is super friendly and organized they go the extra mile in finding appointments that fit my husband and my schedule and always remind us of our appointments before hand. I have to say that my favorite part is dealing with Dr. Trieu, she does all the cleanings herself ( which I value a lot) and she does an immaculate job. I really cannot complain about anything because I had to learn the hard way that not all dentist are created equal. My husband went to see another dentist that was more convenient at the time for him to get a cavity fixed for cheaper , well they did a horrible job but thankfully we had Dr. Trieu to fix it. So those who complain about her prices being high, I say you get what you pay for. She is fair in her pricing because she only provides the very best service and gives you all her time and attention.

Doctor Trieu is truly the best Dentist you’ll ever come across. I’ve been seeing Doctor Trieu for 15 years and wouldn’t trust anyone else. I recently cracked a tooth and was so bummed out about it. When I went to Doctor Trieu I knew I was in the best hands. She fixed it with such care I felt so fortunate to have her as my dentist. To say she’s a perfectionist is really an understatement. She’s extremely meticulous and operates on her own superb high standard of care. You can go to anyone else and get decent care for your teeth but why not get it from the best since they’re the last set you’ll ever have and having a great dentist like Doctor Trieu will make sure they last your entire lifetime. She loves dentistry and you see that through the service she provides to her patients.

I’ve been going to Dr Trieu for three years now.  She is constantly going above and beyond in her work.  She is very gentle and goes out of her way to make sure your teeth look and feel great.

I have been fortunate and had the pleasure of using Monica Trieu as my dentist for over 5 years now. I can only say she is professional and truly cares about the long term health of my teeth. Her treatment plans are geared toward the highest quality care of your teeth. Here staff is helpful and considerate. I recommend you consider Monica Trieu as your permanent dentist as long as you have teeth!

She is the best dentist…period! I have been going to Dr. Trieu for around 15 years now. When I lived on the east coast for several years I would still only get my dental care from Dr. Trieu because she is that skillful. She is a perfectionist. When I have had filling done she rechecks the bite several times and polishes away just the right amount of extra filling to make sure the bite is just right. Even when I feel it is good, she will check it again and make it even better. I had crowns done wrong by previous dentists, where the crown fell off after just a few years; but all the work I have had done by Dr. Trieu has lasted the entire 15 years I have been seeing her, and I am sure it will continue to last a very long time because she does things right the first time. And she is a master of the pain-free lidocaine injection. In fact, I’ve even fallen asleep with a bite-block in place on a few occasions because she is so good at doing things without causing pain. I honestly look forward to my appointments with her.

I’ve been going to Monica (Dr. Trieu) for most of my life, and I have to say that she truly is the best dentist. (I’ve had to go to others in that time when travelling or living far away).

Even a better sign when she’s as meticulous and detailed as Dr. Trieu is! Ultimately, with something like dental care, you’re going to want to go to the best you can get, and Monica is THE BEST.

I highly recommend Dr. Trieu. She is very personable, thorough, and takes the time to explain things well. You can tell she is meticulous with her work, and I saw significant improvement in my dental health after just a short period under her care. The office staff is also very friendly and helpful….always very welcoming.

Dr. Trieu is wonderfully detailed and genuinely cares about what she does. Never have I been to a dentist that the dentist actually cleans your teeth herself. It is wonderful to be able to visit a professional and know you are going to be well taken care of. I would recommend!

Dr. Trieu and her dental assistants are among the best you can get when it comes to dentists! Dr. Trieu takes the time and effort to make sure everything is personally done correctly and that you are comfortable the entire time! I have never had a unpleasant experience ever since I have been going to Dr. Trieu in over 5 years! She really is the best out there! She even calls you after an appointment to make sure you are doing ok. She really cares about her patients. I would highly recommend Dr. Trieu to anyone looking for a great dentist.

Dr. Monica Trieu is a great dentist who is diligent, meticulous, & thorough in her work. I have been to many dentists thus far, and she is the best. I highly recommend her!

Where do I even start. Dr Trieu is such an amazing dentist. She takes the time to really clean your teeth. Appointments usually last about 1 hour for cleaning. I really like that about her. It shows that she really cares for her patients and isn’t in a rush. It seems like she doesn’t care about the money since her schedule isn’t overbooked with patients. She still drives her 14 year old Toyota! She’s so humble and a genuinely nice person.

I hve been going to Dr. Trieu for last 12 years. I am very lucky to have her as my dentist, who never gave me any cases of over-treatments. She is an inspiration of taking good care of oral health as part of wholesome healthy lifestyle. Dr. Trieu has small hands for gentle care and her friendly chat makes my time in dentist chair extraordinary pleasant experience.

Dr. Trieu is one of the best dentists I ever had.  I usually hate going to the dentist before I started going to Dr. Trieu.  Dr. Trieu is very thorough with her work; she will take her time to make sure your teeth is clean.  Usually you have a hygienist doing your teeth cleaning appointment, but when you go to Dr. Trieu, she does it herself.  Also, when she measures your pockets, it does not hurt.  When my previous doctors measure my pockets, they weren’t very gentle.  Also, Dr. Trieu and her staff are very friendly.  Dr. Trieu actually treats you more of a friend than as a patient.  Doctors don’t usually don’t care about their patients and it’s always about the “Get in, get out” mentality.  So it’s nice to have a doctor that actually cares.
