    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 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.

    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 care 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.

  • 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?

    They are the nicest and most accommodating dental office around! I bring both my daughters there along with myself and I enjoy their care and sincerity.

  • I don't really understand the negative reviews. They seem completely out of character. I've been taking myself and my family here for the past two years. They are always very detailed and descriptive in my treatment options and the processes that will take place. They are always willing to work around my schedule, they do a very good job making sure my appointments are confirmed, and they treat me like a friend when I show up for my appointments. I highly reccomend these folks for your dental care needs.

    Nate Aid Avatar Nate Aid

    I love this place so much, I’ve been going here for years along with my family! The most friendliest staff you can ever meet who make you feel like family. 10/10 recommend this place for anyone who’s looking for a new dental place to go to!!!

    The Auburn clinic is a new building and has brand new equipment. It seems so comfortable, so zen, so spacious, feel like being at home. Dr. Nguyen took his time with every patient and very efficient at it, you don't notice that they left you alone at any time. The staff always has a genuine smile. We go a bit further for the Auburn clinic, though the Tacoma clinic has the same welcoming staff.

  • Our entire family have been patients of Dr.Nguyen for many years. They have taken great care of all of us with each person having a varied individual need and personality. Two of my sons are currently recovering Ortho treatment as well and he has been great. He explains everything in detail and his main concern is overall mouth and jaw health. It makes me feel good to know that we are taken care of completely and the staff all know us and I know they genuinely care. One of my children has special needs and he is now an adult but they have always taken time to work with him at his own level and ability. We have been to both the Auburn and Tacoma office and we truly appreciate the kind service we have always received, it is rare to have such a great team and staff that work so well together but they have it there.

    Vang Hac Avatar Vang Hac

    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
