  • I have had 70 years experience with dentistry both as a patient and as a chair side assistant. Most recently I visited Dr Audrey Nguyen DDS. She is the best dentist I have had the pleasure of visiting. She is so gentle and cares deeply about the comfort of her patients. She takes time to discuss cares, concerns and treatment options. A big concern for most people is having to wait endlessly for their appointments...NEVER with Dr Nguyen. She respects her patient's time. I have been seated right after check in at the front desk. The office staff is friendly and professional. The office and the treatment areas are always very clean and well organized. I highly recommend Excellent Dental care for all your dental needs for any age. Thank you.

    When you walk through the doors, someone is always there greeting you with a hello and a warm smile. I have had braces for about 3 1/2 years now and, I’m almost done! None of my permanent teeth were pulled out during this process. They also respected all the things I wanted and didn’t want to happen to my teeth for braces. Excellent Dental Care have very generous and caring people. Excellent hard workers to have a conversation with as well. I highly recommend going to their dental office, especially if you’re planning to get braces. Braces might hurt and get in a way of eating your favorite foods but, they’re definitely worth it!

  • My entire family has been attending Excellent Dental Care for over 10+ years, ever since I was a child, so EDC has been a household staple for us and our extended family. We've had several family members get braces at EDC, with absolutely excellent results. They're extremely efficient, professional and provide service in multiple languages to ensure accessibility. The staff is always so welcoming and we love going there for our semi-annual check ups. Thank you all for your years of service that you have provided and will continue to provide for our family! I highly recommend.

    My family and I have come to Excellent Dental Care (EDC) at both Tacoma and Auburn locations for the last 10 years. My sister and I had braces done by Dr. Thai. He did a very great job. The good part is we did not have to take any teeth out as we were told by others. Also, the staff is very friendly. They always make you feel comfortable. I highly recommend EDC for the dental care.

  • Great staff. Great work. Certainly not racist. All peoples receive good care at this clinic. The staff speaks multiple languages. How can they be racist?

  • I was tired of being marketed by dentists. Always pushing me to do implants or root canals, etc. So I went shopping for a new dentist and tried Excellent Dental Care. They understood my desire to keep the teeth I have and maintain good dental care. The team is friendly and professional, but their greatest asset is their willingness to listen to you and work with you for your dental care.

  • They are knowledgeable, and let you know what's going on, what to expect and what is possible. The woman who took care of me the times I have been there has been so gracious and wonderful. She and her staff made an unfortunate situation the best they could. They made me feel welcome and comfortable in all the best ways. I don't want to go anywhere else but here. If you are looking for a dentist, choose here. You will not regret it and will thank yourself and them later.

    If you are looking for a family dentist please look no further. I have been coming here since I was a little girl. I appreciate their diverse staff that are able to speak different languages. This creates a welcoming environment. My siblings had their braces done here and their results are stunning. My semiannual cleaning are always quick but thorough. All of their staff are very professional and they carr about making you feel comfortable. I never leave without a smile or feeling like I did not receive a good cleaning. My extended family comes here as well and we are grateful that there are two locations. They work with your schedule. I highly recommend this establishment.

  • We are surprise not seeing many reviews online, good nor bad. Perhaps they operate on word of mouth and referals. You can't go wrong, either from staff to Doctors, and to their new relaxing building. Keep up the good work!! Thank you.

    They give a step by step of what they are doing so if at any point you dont want a particular service you dont need to end up paying for it, but they give the options. Friendly and personable. Only been twice so far but will be going back, especially as they are open one Saturday a month which is helpful with my work schedule

  • I really am starting to love this place the staff and my dentist make it feel like home. But I can only stay for another 6 months and I turn 21 which means I can't come anymore. which makes me sad because I really loved getting to know this place and how much the emphasize good dental hygiene has made me take flossing serious. I really going to miss this place!
