Staff was very friendly, kind, professional. Made me feel very comfotable and enjoy coming back. Dr. Nguyen is an excellent doctor and deeply cares the health and well being of his patients. He understood my needs of my teeth and have promised that he will take extra care of me to give me back a perfect smile that I've always wanted again.

I did not like the way my teeth where cleaned by the dentist that I saw. So I was offered a new appointment with the hygenist and WOW! now I am happy, my teeth feel really clean....I still wonder though, why did the dentist choose to do such a bad job ?

Just had my first diagnostic and cleaning visit a few days ago and everything seemed pretty good. I've had bad luck with Dentist offices before, so I'm hoping this one will continue to be great. Everyone was friendly, Dentist was knowledgeable and explained everything clearly and didn't try to push unnecessary procedures, hygienist was great, and the rest of the staff was very friendly (I think genuinely friendly and not the fake friendliness you see in some places). So far so good.

I have never been to a friendlier, happier, most professional and down to earth dental office in my life. You can tell everyone loves their jobs and likes working with each other. They obviously want to be kind, gentle, helpful and give top notch care. I hope that their administration will do what ever it takes to keep this team together and happy it will pay off in the long run.

Every person in the office is very caring and was able to answer all the questions I had. I've had bad experiences with other dental offices before and I think I finally found a great office with a fantastic team of people who genuinely care about my needs and who want to work with me and not just send me away as far as my financial situation. I've already recommended one of my close friends to this office and she has gone in and had nothing but good things to say. Thank you so much guys!

Ariella Pessah D.D.S was amazing she was fast, sweet, confident, and detail, she even offered me a blanket....amazing!!!And of course, let’s not forget Ariella Pessah right hand that day Nakia, she was very attentive and sweet. And last but not least Maya, outstanding help with reviewing the cost. There are no small prints to read when you are working with her. Thank you all so much for a great experience Now I’m looking forward to re-visiting the facility with a big smile.

I'm very sorry i can't remeber the orthodontis name, that did my cleaning, but she did a spectacular job, i'm usually nervous and adverhendrous about going to dentinst, but this visist was not a bad experiecne, she talked to me let me know what she was doing and numb my mouth very well so that i didn't feel that much pain, she was also very sensitive to my needs, i truly wish i can remember her name, i thought it will be wrote down somewhere,so i didn't try to remember her name, but she was the best dentist i ever had.

As a first x customer arriving at 7:55 am the reception area's rug looked unvacuumed, childrens' area not picked up, magazines in various areas, then the xray garbage can full, gave me a hsitant feeling of the doctors office being a clean envirorment to work on my mouth.If the doctors don't care about the cleanliness of their work surrounding and have no contol in that arena, will they care about the cleanliness of items they use on me?(1st impression) could have been taken care of if a few team members kept up their work spaces, right?

Everyone is so nice and down to earth. Everyone treats you like they've known you for a long time and Dr.Nguy?n is very easy going and he explains everything if you have concerns.The financial aspect of the dental visit was easy and they work with your financial situation as best as possible. I'm a baby when it comes to going to the dentist, I'm nervous and the though of a drill freaks me out,but my overall experience was pleasant and pain free.

Candlewood Smiles was great, they listened to me and understood my "issues" I have dealing with my teeth and receiving dental care, I am a big chicken really and always hated to go to the dentist, but the staff was patient with me and did their best at making me feel comfortable, all in all I'm not dreading going back for more work like I usually feel when visiting a dentist.

when i was leaving, i had to wait for a gentlemen to finish talking to the benefits counselor/receptionist; the receptionist kindly let me know she wld be with me in a min. so i sat down to wait. another patient came out and stood waiting nearby on the counter. when she was finished, the 2nd patient approached her, and she started to help him. i had to voice, i was next. which was fine. but when she thought i had left (he was blocking her view) she said to him sorry about that. i was a little bothered by that. why should she have to be sorry for helping me next and it makes it seem as if what i was doing was inappropriate, when i had been waiting. i sat to be courtesy and give privacy to the patient in front of me.

Switching from my previous dental office to this office was the best change I could have done for myself. Not receiving acceptable care in the past prevented me from seeing a dentist for a couple of years. But Dr. Nguyen was very caring and he and his assistant took great care of me helping me to relax and eventually trust their actions. I don't wish a root canal on anyone but if it needs to be done I would definitely recommend Candlewood Smiles for the job. I must say that the movie and blanket helped with relaxation as well.

It was a little off-putting that they tried so hard to get me to sign up for all of these extra procedures just before I got the cleaning. It was a bit intimidating and I really just wanted the option to ask them to leave and move on with the cleaning. My regular dentist, though older, they never try to up-sell "stuff" to me. I'm in my 30s and suddenly I need braces on my lower teeth? Uh, no.
