Dr. Tran's Biography
Dr. Tran gives each patient her full attention, hoping to understand their interests, goals, and perspectives. In fact, building trusted relationships was a big draw when it came to dentistry along with the ability to work with her hands and collaborate in a team environment. Willamette Dental Group provided the ideal atmosphere for that, with a full staff at hand to manage the business side so she could focus solely on patient care. When asked about a proud moment in her career, she points to her volunteer work for mobile dental units and the reward in caring for those in need.
Off-hours, she enjoys cooking and dining at new restaurants along with the laughter of family and friends.

I just want to tell you thank you. I was expecting some pain and swelling after the numbing wore off. It's been a couple days now and still nothing. No pain, no swelling. After a root canal, I was expecting a lot and you did a really good job. Thank you.

I got home last night and raved to my partner about my Hygienist and Dentist team. My Hygienist is always extremely personable and informative. He's the reason I finally started brushing my teeth a second time every day consistently a couple of years ago! He listens to my questions and gives me all of the information I need and more.

I want to thank Willamette Dental for catering to us who are terrified of any kind of dental work. Who avoids it until it can't be avoided and white knuckle our way thru while our blood pressure hits the roof. I'm now permitted to have something to calm my nerves, and I no longer schedule, reschedule... and reschedule appts, trying to build myself up enough to have a procedure done. For that I'm very thankful. Now, if I have an appt, I take my meds and go without extremely high anxiety.

I felt more comfortable with the dentist in Tumwater. I had an appointment with Dr. Tran and with the, I think it was the orthodontist, someone that came in from up north. And I just felt a lot more comfortable with the clinic in Tumwater and so I'm going to switch everything there.

The doctor and the assistant was fantastic in providing service for me. I was able to go through the process quite well, and answered all my questions, and was allowed me to know what I can do, if I have to do anything else. If something didn't work quite the way it should. So, I was very, very, very pleased with them giving me all that information.
