  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Excellent dental care was very patient with my 14 year old daughter. She went very nervous but by the time she came out she was calm and happy. They realy took the time to make sure she was comfortable. This is an amazing dentist I highly recommend them to people that have a difficult time with the dentist.

    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 son Nick has been coming here for orthodontics treatment. I'm grateful that we found a Doctor that would do it without removing his teeth unnecessarily. Everyone here is extremely competent and professional! We're very lucky to find this place!

  • We’ve been to a lot of dentists and always had problems in the past. The dentists here are AMAZING. They have all the latest equipment, very knowledgeable, and affordable. The staff is also very knowledgeable (especially Lynn) and very helpful and sincere about their clients. We highly recommend Excellent Dental Care to everyone.

  • Awesome place to go...my past dentist moved his practice out of state some years ago and I bounced around place to place trying to find a good dentist when we gave Excellent Dental a try. It's been almost four years at this office now and we love it. Friendly staff, great care and service. You will not be disappointed 🙂

  • 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?

    Green Moss Monk Avatar Green Moss

    From the friendly staff, to the excellent doctors, if you ever want to be treated like family this is the place to go. They call and leave you nice reminders before every appointment and make sure you don't miss your cleanings. Best of all they work around your schedule!

  • I love this dentist because there is no pressure to make small talk during the visit! (Never understood why other places want to make conversation with hands in your mouth.) Very profesional, friendly service and direct, + clear information.

    I have been there three times and each time they have been awesome! I worked with both the husband and wife and both interactions they took their time to explain what they were doing.

  • My 3 children and my better half have been patients at this dental care center for 8 years, we trust their professional work and they are very careful and thorough with our children' s dental care. They treat everyone with respect that they deserve. We are grateful to find a family-oriented dental clinic that is willing to take the extra time to establish proper care and immaculate detail. The office manager is available to answer questions even when she is busy handling multiple patients. I would strongly recommend them due to their level of competence and their drive to continually improve on everything they do. Audrey and Thai are magnificent dentists. Thank you all for reading my review and have a wonderful day.

    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.
