Dr. Nguyen’s Biography

Dr. Nguyen is a compassionate practitioner who knows how to make the dental environment comfortable and relaxing for her patients. This might be as simple as listening to understand how they feel or offering effective coping methods she’s learned over the years and in training. She works side-by-side to help each individual return to and maintain their optimal oral health. Knowing she never wanted to feel pressured to produce or over-treat, she chose Willamette Dental for its focus on preventative care.

She also carries this same love of creativity, care, and precision into her hobbies, often found on weekends at the sewing machine or quilting blankets as gifts. You might also find her in nature walking and enjoying time with her dog.

It's unusual that two people have a personal dialogue above your face at the same time about everything they want, and it seems that they will miss something, it's not normal...not comfortable!

Takes a long time to get an appointment even if you have teeth rotting out so a small cavity turns into a huge cavity by the time your seen.

Nothing else really, they did a great job!

My concerns were listened to - considerate and thoughtful responses were given to all of my questions. Everyone was kind and reassuring. A lot of care was taken to make sure I was comfortable and fully numb before work began. The work was quick and I was made fully aware of what stage of the procedure we were at often.

I've already talked with a customer service representative about our experience

Jun 29, 2025

I felt the dentist did amazingly well. I had tipped off the bottom of my front tooth, my top tooth, and she peeled it and made it look just like the other one and matched the color and did a really great job. And she was super sweet and everybody helped. And I got in right away, so I was very, very happy.

For this last appointment, I thought I was coming in to finally get my permanent crown. This was the third appointment that I had come in for, and I had two appointments on this day. I was very anxious for this appointment and the hygienist for the dental assistant listen to me talk about my anxieties for the day and also about some pain that I was having on the other side of my mouth on a receiving gun line. But when I left, I had been so anxious I didn't go back and talked about that and I would've liked that they put the coding that they put on it to make it not so sensitive, but they didn't do that and I didn't remember to Ask about it. I was just ready to go. So a little unhappy later that day when I realize that nothing was done with that but overall, I usually have a good experience with all the dentist and hygienist that I come in and deal with. I've been with Willamette for I believe eight years. I think I took off two years and went someplace else and I didn't like it so I came right back

Jun 21, 2025

Minimal pain ...removal of the tooth was done and I didn't have a clue that she did it already ...so that was nice news!

Jun 21, 2025

The hygienist was extremely rough with my teeth and it seemed she was in a race to clean my teeth in record time. I will not go to that hygienist again. The Dr was exceptional and gentle during the exam.

From scheduling the appointment to the office, staff there at the dental office to the staff in the back and the dentist I have always had a pleasant caring experience, light conversation, clear understanding of what the dentist is going to do felt very comfortable and given good options for doing better with my teeth. I enjoy coming there.

I don't like about how to make appointment. To my last provider, they always set up the next appointment after doing the dental hygiene but Willamette doesn't do that , when I want to make the next appointment, they said it was full and I have to wait . We got the dental hygiene very late till the upcoming year . I don't like the service at all

Jan 15, 2025

The dental assistant was horrible. Does this office hire people just out of school with no experience? They don't have any bedside manner, don't realize when the patient needs a break or is in pain and can't properly time their breaks for the patient.

Dec 16, 2024

I appreciate the care, passion and compassion for the treatment I received. Thank you Dental Team
