A true professional and wonderful dentist, Dr. Bic is one of the best dentists I have EVER had. She is consultative, listens and answers your questions, and works with your insurance.
Great staff and great results.
Go see her!

I am a cancer survivor. The debt I incurred completely ravaged my life savings, and I am now on Medicaid. I have a broken tooth that is quite painful, and I have been unable to afford to go to the dentist for over 3 years. I saw the great reviews for this office, so I called and was told that YES, they did accept Medicaid. I was so relieved I could finally see a dentist! I went to my appointment, filled out all the paperwork, and was seen by the dental assistant. She took an x-​ray of the broken tooth (only), and I waited to be seen by the dentist. When she arrived, she immediately told me that she doesn’t do crowns. She then stated that I needed a deep cleaning which she said I was not covered for. After less than 5 minutes with the dentist, my chair was raised, my bib removed, and I was signaled that they were through with me! I pleaded for any help to relieve some of my discomfort, but was told they could do nothing… unless, of course, I had CASH! $ 600! Now I had lost a day of work, and had no relief whatsoever. I walked home in tears and called Medicaid. They told me that all her office needed to do was submit an authorization form for the deep cleaning. I’m assuming these great reviews are written by people who have cash or good insurance. But, apparently, unless one needs a common cleaning, the less fortunate get minimal attention at best.
NO Crowns! NO Consideration! NO Compassion!

Dr. Bic is someone who is very pationate about her job. Words cannot express how much I appreciate her, if you are looking for a dentist who cares about you and the wellbeing of your teeth then find your way to her office.
Below is a review i did in 2013
Dr Bic is the best dentist I’ve come across thus far. She genuinely cares about you as an individual and is more than willing to help. Words can’t express the impact she’s had on my life, all I know is that i am very grateful. Thumbs up, kudos etc. Lake Shore dental care deserves it all. I cannot recommend her or thank her enough :-D

Thank God for these Unilocal reviews, because it really helped me in choosing a new dentist, Dr Bic Nguyen. Her office is clean, has new equipment and is conveniently located to where I live. That’s the good part, but unfortunately there was a downside to my first-​time visit.
It started with the dental tech, who also substituted as the receptionist. She wasn’t very friendly or welcoming and continued to make my entire visit unnecessarily unpleasant. Never understand a person who is in the people business that doesn’t like people? I got the impression she wasn’t from the neighborhood and didn’t seem very educated. So what I got was someone with an attitude, which honestly, I could’ve done without.
My only quibble with LSDC was I made my appt. for 3PM and it was the exact same time as another patient, who just happened to bring along her two rambunctious kids. I don’t know why we were scheduled at the same time, but we were? When I was put in one of the rooms getting x-​rayed the dental tech/​receptionist couldn’t even shut the door when I asked her to because supposedly her equipment prevented her from doing so, so I had to endure hearing these non-​stop screaming kids. It’s a fairly small office where you can hear everything, this went on for a good 20 minutes or so.
I felt like leaving, but stayed because my tooth had been hurting for awhile and I had no idea when I could get the next appointment. In hindsight though, I wished I had rescheduled. Next time I will.

Dr. Bic is kind, compassionate and affordable. I highly recommend her practice. The office hours are convenient and if you are a new patient she will work you right into the schedule without issue.

Dr Bic Nguyen is very helpful and her care and suggestions were extraordinary. She is not money oriented doctors like other dentists I visited. I only regret of not finding this clinic a month ago.
Thank you Dr Bic for your care and suggestions

I would first like to start out by saying I am a huge baby. Don’t like needles, don’t like dentists, and avoided going to one for over a decade (stupid I know don’t tell me). Problems arose and I was on the search for a family doctor because not only was I neglectful but my sister was too; and to top it all off my sister had some pretty bad experiences. Long story short, we passed the threshold of Dr. Nguyen’s office and I’ve been happy ever since.
Some would say it’s because I finally addressed the issues that began to plague me from years of neglect but it is much more than that. Dr. Nguyen is a young vibrant attentive doctor. She took the time to explain all the procedures to me and my sister from the root canal to the extractions to the deep cleaning. But most importantly, despite the neglect on my part she always made me feel comfortable and confident that it wasn’t too late to get the smile I desire. I don’t know if it is explicitly stated anywhere but she truly believes in a more holistic approach to dentistry unlike I’ve ever seen. She’s very thorough from the procedure itself right down to the dollars and cents so you can make sense of it all (God I sound like a commercial lol but Im in sales and I watch a lot of television). Anywayz…
Just a side note. Her referrals are very good as well. Once I select a dentist I don’t really like to go elsewhere for my procedures but my impacted tooth had to be handled by a specialist. He was a good guy and emphasized the open door policy for follow ups or to express concerns if necessary.
I feel far more confident and I really like my smile now. If you’re in uptown or even near it she is worth the trip!

Again Dr. Nguyen was the best ever when she gave me my crowns on my 2 front teeth. She even gave me a hug afterwards (I love hugs!). She is so awesome and I highly recommend her and she is the the best and nicest dentist ever. On top of that she does great work, is painless and super sweet!

A few weeks ago I broke the crown on my front tooth, while visiting family in Chicago. Since I have an HMO in Texas, my dental wouldn’t travel. Unfortunately, I had business in the city and wouldn’t be able to return to Texas for a month. I called around to some family recommendations in Evanston, but after reading the other good Unilocal reviews I gave Dr. Nguyen a call. Surprisingly she called back on a Sunday and spoke freely and honestly about the procedure and cost. Luckily, Dr. Nguyen had a very fair price on a temporary crown that would suffice until I went home. I was in.
The wonderful and beautiful dental assistant Jessica molded and placed a temporary crown and my grandmother was so pleased with the appearance that she set an appointment with Dr. Nguyen to pull a few of her teeth and fit her for dentures.
I have to say that my grandmother could not stop giving compliments to the doctor when we left. She called friends and family to boast about the speedy, pain free, and low costing procedure. I think she has a new favorite person. Kudos to Dr. Nguyen. This neighborhood is truly lucky to have you helping.
I have to go back to Texas but I wish I could stay here in Uptown, if only to see Jessica more than 1 time. She can take a joke yet she is courteous and professional, an expert DDS in the making if she wants to do it/​be it. She is really focused and brilliant and would have me trying to move back with a mouth full of cavities if I could have another hour of her time. She is something wonderful.
These women do great smile work with a smile. Their office is comfortable and pleasantly busy. The parking is great. Give them a call.

Seriously if you need a Dentist and live in the Uptown area GO TO Dr. Nguyen!
Dr. Bic and her staff were TOP NOTCH! I just had a filling and cleaning done, but the entire time she made sure I was comfortable and doing ok.
They are 5 star worthy.
Did a great job on my teeth and good people.

Dr. Bic Nguyen changes my whole perception of dentists and dentist offices. She’s genuine, amiable, and knowledge. I feel comfortable asking her questions and the receptionist’s bright personality makes the whole process painless.
I went in to get a regular cleaning, not knowing what to expect. But I left feeling extra clean and refreshed. I asked her how to floss since I wasn’t sure if I was doing it right and she carefully explained all I needed to know.
Like the reviewer below, I can’t recommend her enough. Dr. Bic is all you could ever ask for in a dentist. Believe me, the kind of dentist where you feel comfortable and trust is hard to find.

Lake Shore Dental is under new ownership and the new dentist, Dr. Bic Nguyen, is absolutely great. I cannot recommend her enough. She is professional, punctual and wonderfully nice. She makes sure you are as comfortable as possible and takes the time to explain what she is doing. The first dentist I have ever genuinely liked. Her assistant is very friendly and they have a good rapport. It helps tremendously that they can have a friendly chat and keep you distracted from the sounds of drilling and scraping going on. Truly a painless process. You must experience to appreciate. I will never miss a dental appointment again.

Dentist aren’t my favorite people to visit and I have had major gum surgery done recently — so you can guess why.
However, I changed my insurance this year and found a dentist down the street from where I live. After asking around, I decided to give the place a shot for regular cleaning and check-​up. Dr. Dao was very efficient and almost painless (which is soooo much better than my last dentist). Not only that, she showed me how to floss properly (even though I have to admit, I know how to, I jus don’t do it as often as I should… lazy!!!)
I am going back in 6 months for routine check up and follow up on my gums. Apparently they are doing fine now. Thanks for asking ;-)
