Calvin K Nguyen DDS

Moved to the area a few years ago and read a lot of reviews before picking a new dentist. I chose Franklin Dental because it was close to home, had good reviews and the photos online looked good.
I signed myself and my husband up for new patient appointments and cleanings. The receptionists were extremely nice and accommodating and explained that Dr. Nguyen would be doing the cleaning himself for the first appointment and that it would take about an hour.
This was all accurate. The office is very clean and well designed. You can tell a lot of thought and attention went into making the office sophisticated, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. All of the equipment looked new and cared for.
Dr. Nguyen was friendly and knowledgeable. He happened to be training a new assistant (who was very nice and friendly) at the time of my appointment, and was training her while he worked. I enjoyed this because I got to hear some of his philosophies behind patient care and about dental work techniques. From what I heard, it’s clear that he cares about patient comfort and thorough, quality work.
The cleaning was good… not too rough and not too gentle, and I even came back the following week to have two cracked fillings fixed. The process was quick and painless.
The receptionists gave me detailed invoices and insurance estimates for all of the work and gave me follow up appointment cards and paperwork without me even having to ask. It’s rare to find a good doctor, a good office and a good staff all at the same time, so I will definitely be sticking with Dr. Nguyen.
Update: I recently thought I had a dislodged filling, and Dr. Nguyen was able to see me the same day to check everything out. No stress, no hassle.

Dr. Nguyen at Franklin Dental has been great. The office itself is modern and clean. The staff communicates well and is kind. Dr. Nguyen is very professional yet laid back and calm. I was most impressed that on my first visit as a new patient there were no upsells or surprises. He didn’t try to pressure me into getting any additional work done that wasn’t necessary. I got exactly what I asked for and the x-​rays, cleaning, and oral exam were all thorough but efficient. So far so good, all in all a great dental practice.

I just joined Dr. Nguyen’s practice after moving to Herndon this summer. His office is clean and beautifully decorated. There are tons of magazines and a TV in the lobby. Everyone from the receptionist, to the hygienists, to Dr. Nguyen are very friendly, prompt, and professional. Dr. Nguyen was very easy going and honest. Their technologies seem very up to date (I’ve been to other dentists where both the computers and dental equipment seemed quite old). I was very pleased with my first visit and I plan on continuing to see Dr. Nguyen for my dental care as long as I live in Herndon.

Very pleasant experience from beginning to end. The receptionists are friendly, courteous and right on top of insurance policies/​procedures. Dr. Nguyen is knowledgeable and (most important) HONEST. He never pushes unnecessary work and gives treatment options when possible. His work is top notch. This practice definitely takes the sting out of having to go to the dentist. I strongly recommend them!

Very knowledgeable and very friendly. He is honest about what his advice is and not pushy about unnecessary procedures! I have been to so many dentists that say, you must (and are too pushy) get this crown for your back molar (which is always a plus but never a necessity). He was honest that if I did not have something put in its place, i may have a gap from my teeth shifting but he did not shove it down my throat. He gave me the facts and let me decide. Love him! My husband will be seeing him soon.

I have been a client of Dr. Nguyen for almost ten years. Every procedure he has ever performed on my teeth has gone great, without a hitch. I couldn’t even tell which tooth he fixed! He has always provided stellar service and honest evaluations of my dental health. I have asked about the more costly services like veneers, and whiteners but he never tries to up-​sell. He gives me good recommendations that will maintain the integrity of my natural teeth, even though it means he won’t get to bill me for an expensive procedure. I have a filling that was done elsewhere, and I asked him to re-​do it. He advised me to leave it alone because it wasn’t causing any real problems for me. I have heard horror stories of dentists performing work so they can get paid, but Dr. Nguyen is not one of them. His staff is polite and accommodating, and I have never had any problems with the integrity of their services. I have recommended Dr. Nguyen to all of my colleagues in the service area, and will continue to do so! Please also see reviews for Franklin Dental, which is where Dr. Nguyen has his practice.

I have been seeing Dr. Nguyen for years. He really cares about his patients and always has his best interest in their health. He is very easy to talk to so I am never afraid to voice my questions and concerns. I have gone to him for my 6 month cleanings and have done a root canal procedure– gentle every single time! His office is very clean and welcoming staff!

Dr. Nguyen and his staff are very committed to the patient relationship and to giving excellent service. Dr. Nguyen gave me a huge discount on my portion of the cost to make it affordable for me. Our family are very happy with his care.

I have been seeing Dr Nguyen over a year now and have always had excellent service with a friendly staff. Never had any problems with insurance. Even without insurance their prices are reasonable.

This dentist office is very professional and provided me with very good care and service. The front desk is friendly and inviting and the office is very clean and nice. Dr. Nguyen took his time with me and answered all my questions very thoroughlly. The procedures I had done went very smooth and I was made to feel very comfortable. I am very pleased with the way everything went during all of my visits to the office and will continue to visit Dr. Nguyen for all my dental needs.

Will Not honor insurance coverage estimate provided at time of service. Do not go to this dentist!

I have had some pretty compex procedures done by Dr. Calvin Nguyen. He’s always very gentle and caring about me as his patient. In any of the past procedures that were done for me, I have never felt any pain. And, prior to any procedure being done for me, he always took his time to explain what he planned to do, and made sure that I understood clearly why each procedure was necessary.
Thank you, Dr. Nguyen!
