Dr. Nguyen’s Biography

Feeling an early connection with science, Dr. Nguyen spent time exploring a number of different careers in healthcare. She narrowed her search to dentistry once she learned how it combined her love of patient care, art, and science along with the ability to work with her hands. Having experience with dental pain and orthodontic issues in her past has allowed Dr. Nguyen to practice dentistry with empathy. “I treat patients as if they were my family,” she explains. She’s excited to now have the opportunity to prioritize her patients and benefit from the team-based environment at Willamette Dental Group.

Dr. Nguyen is a loyal, caring, and hard-working individual who enjoys snowboarding, attending concerts, and watching basketball as well as spending quality time with her family on days away from the office.

I don't remember her name but my dental hygienist was great. I absolutely loved her! She gave me lots of good advice and little tidbits of information I hadn't heard before. I hope I get her again next time.

Great Experience from start to finish , we showed up a little early before our scheduled appt , and were seen almost immediately. The staff was so great from start to finish. I know kids can be nervous, but the staff and dentist were great .

Very good! Efficient!

Oct 9, 2025

5

The staff was very friendly. They were able to explain any concerns that I had, answer any concerns that I had, explain anything, especially if there was something like an issue, they would be able to explain it to where we understand what steps we need to take to correct said issues. Very informative, I would say. The only problem is they don't accept new patients that often at certain offices, so it would be hard to refer out I did recommend they would just not be able to get in for an appointment because of it, being close to new patients. But if they can open up more appointments or accept more new patients at more locations, then I'd be willing to recommend.

Definitely improvements have been made or at least today and my last appointments have been decent experiences, if not overall very nice. I don't want to jinx my future experiences. But I am impressed with the quality of change.

I came here two months ago and got really bad service. And then I came back a week ago and got very good service. I don't know how it worked, but it's working. Thanks. Have a good day.

The providers were great. It takes too long to see the dentist. It took over one month from the time I made the appointment to the day of.

Sep 13, 2025

5

They worked well under pressure. They were 10 minutes late so we were under a time crunch as I had another appointment. It was a big job and they did it well with the limited amount of time.

Sep 13, 2025

5

It is frustrating that I cannot make or reschedule appointments in person at the office. Makes no sense as I hear the receptionists on the phone with clients about their appointments. We are a family of five and it is a lot, please consider allowing for in person scheduling at the office. Even setting a system of reminders would be helpful.

Sep 7, 2025

All the Staff at Willamette Dental from office staff to Dental assistant, hygienist, technician and Dentist are exemplary. Caring, empathetic, cordial and professional. They are great.

It was fast, and actually painless, once the doctors and nurses were told that my nerves were over active, and burning from the pain in my neck, and teeth.

We enjoyed the visit very much! The hygienist was an so wonderful! She was funny and really made my daughter relax. But also informed her of her teeth and gum health in a manner that she could understand. And the doctor is so nice and calming. We will not be seeing anyone else! Thank you!

The dentist and her assistant were super friendly and knowledgeable. They answered my questions and made me feel comfortable and I really appreciate their patience and compassion.

Aug 20, 2025

5

Docs and assistants are consistently professional, helpful; "friendly" is too mild a description-I'm always treated with respect and smiles,and sensitivity. And the staff gives me information regarding what's being done, and what needs to be done in a way I can understand, without talking down to me (Contrary to what some believe, a person's IQ doesn't drop 50 points after the age of 60).

Aug 16, 2025

The hygienist took a lot of time and Care helping my son learn how he needs to brush and care for his teeth. The dentist was amazing kind and listen to our concerns. I was very happy wurh my sons care.

Willamette dental the dentist and the dental assistant were most helpful and caring thanks guys

Aug 15, 2025

The doctor was great. I'm not sure if this is true, but if it isn't, it should be. This practice focuses on strengths and encourages me about what I'm doing right in my dental care instead of pointing out my mistakes. It feels like there is a clear focus on strengths, and that makes a big difference for my oral health.

Aug 13, 2025

It was great customer service. I was well informed of procedures and what needed to be donez

Very professional, yet friendly which is most welcome when visiting the dentist office. Everyone I dealt with was amazing. I appreciate how they made it a good experience. One critique is the use of gloves yet touching the computer, x-ray computer, switch and with the same gloves going into my mouth!!!! Everyone else working is using the same equipment and touching their patients mouths. PLEASE, change your gloves. This is some thing I will speak up for the next visit. Overall, excellent job!

This experience was great. We have to make an appt for fillings and when I called because they don't do it in office, they said that there are no appointments and I'd be put on a call list.

Jun 25, 2025

It was so great to be seen so soon, and DR. Nguyen and her staff helped me so much and I'm really grateful that I got my tooth repaired.

Well, I would like there to be more staff who speak Spanish and also return calls, for appointments and all this, so that they are a little faster because sometimes they take too long and everything else is fine.

You can do better if you schedule appointments sooner than what has been done in the recent past. Other than that, I can't really complain or give you much more information other than trying to get appointments more in a timely manner instead of waiting so long. Thank you. Have a good day.

I would like to say. One my blood pressure was high when I went in there. I tried to explain that my blood pressure is always high. So they decided that they couldn't work on me because it was so high. She told me I should go to the emergency room because it was so high. So she kind of scared me. So I went to the emergency room. Just to be told that my blood pressure is high. And they were going to watch it. So what baffles me is I just wanted to get my teeth cleaned. I could see if they were going to put me out or something like that maybe not working on me. But what's even funnier is the next day I had a fine needle biopsy.

I would like to change my provider to a different one.

I would like to thank all the staff that provided care for my son. They were very careful. They were child-friendly, to say the least. I liked how they hide the syringe before putting it into his mouth without the kid knowing. This little sneaky way keeps all the fear away from kiddos. I would like to appreciate the full staff working at Willamette Dental from the front desk to the very last second of my son getting dental care. They are very careful, very accurate, and very professional and very friendly. Thank you.

Dr Nguyen and the hygienist were awesome. They made our grandson's first dental visit a great experience for him!

Mar 14, 2025

My doctor did very well. I had teeth put together and I couldn't get floss through them and she grinded them out and made it so I could floss easier to them. It was awesome work. Nobody's done that for me the whole time I've been going to the dentist. And really appreciate it. I got great service and great care. And you guys keep up the good work. Thank you.

Mar 2, 2025

My experience was real beautiful. It was comforting and professional. I wasn't scared. I was at ease. And the dentists did an excellent job. And I thank them for that.

Awesome experience's for all the 4 years I have been coming. I had a traumatic event happen as a child in a dentists office (obviously different provider) so I have actually had a phobia of going to the dentist since the age of 5. When I go to this office I know I am in good hands and even though I have anxiety while there, I know they will take care of me.

Amber, my assistant, was absolutely excellent, kept me greatly informed, constantly asked to make sure I wasn't in pain. And the young lady who was the doctor, the dentist doctor, was friendly, nice, intelligent, explained things, came in. She even checked me a couple times and gave me extra Novocain, which was nice. And I've had no swelling or problem afterwards. She did a fabulous, fabulous job. So anyways, thank you very much. Good day.
