Tri Valley Endodontics

I tried this place out yesterday and first of all, the office is clean and the people at the reception desk are very professional and friendly! Even on the calls, they are very professional. The appointment went well. I don’t think they are the cheapest Endodontics office but I guess you get what you pay for! Now the doctor seems to be very knowledgeable as well and knew exactly what was going on in my mouth based on my symptoms; just waiting to hear back from him since yesterday for review of my case before I can proceed with my general dentist…

Fuck this place so fucking hard! So first I was sent here and to be honest, I just didn’t feel comfortable. The front was cool and nice; the Dr. came, got me, was fast and curtious, but just wasn’t feeling it, so as in my previous post, went to someone else. No harm, no foul; but then I came home to a final notice bill. FIRST: I didn’t get a bill till today; SECOND: I shouldn’t have been charged for anything; I went in so the Dr. could say yes or no to my tooth being worked on; he KNEW needed to be done, in FACT, when I sat down he even stated «Dr. Conway has gone over everything with me, I’m just making sure»; THIRD: when I called, Gabriel told me I can come in, fuck that shit. I don’t owe shit, therefore I don’t have to prove shit. Anyways, called my dentist and told them that this place is tryin’ to pull some shysty shit so don’t send anyone to them anymore. And as someone who works across the street to them, EVERYONE I talk to will know about how poor they treat thier «new» patients. Oh, and don’t judge someone based on the way they sound on the phone.

After a night of escalating, excruciating tooth pain, I contacted TVE and although they had a full schedule, their very kind and accommodating staff worked to schedule an immediate evaluation appointment. Dr. Harrison Nguyen was extremely patient and agreed to perform a same-​day root canal, which my general dentist had inferred would be necessary if my tooth pain did not resolve. Unfortunately, the pesky molar ended up being internally cracked and impossible to save; however, Dr. Dr. Nguyen’s skill and manner could have not impressed me more.
The office was able to refer me to an oral surgeon for immediate treatment, and I was billed in a very fair fashion for the work Dr. Nguyen performed. This practice should be a model for the way medical care is conducted — bravo!

This may have been the single least painful dental procedure in my decades of health care. Doctor Tarm was very careful about not causing pain and he didn’t. I also have a bad fainting issue around needles as a consequence of many childhood surgeries and during my procedure the doctor and nurse were both careful to keep needles out of my line of sight and ask me to close my eyes if anything sharp was at risk of crossing my field of vision.
If I’d had dental professionals this kind and competent when a child then my teeth would be in infinitely better shape… Everyone who mentions their horror at a root canal I’m sending here.

Dr Harrison Nguyen is a fantastic doctor I had a lot of trepidation about having to get a root canal procedure. But Dr. Nguyen is an excellent Dr. with tremendous skills and a patient manner. I hope to never have another root canal but if I do I will not hesitate to contact Dr. Nguyen he was truly fantastic.

Couldn’t believe my root canal was pain free. Harrison Nguyen DDS MSD is badass

I have the unfortunate task of being able to review Dr. Tarm and his office. I say unfortunate because well who wants to have a root canal.
I have nothing but wonderful praises for Dr Tarm and his office staff. They have always been able to get me in when I let my tooth get too painful to stand, yes I’ve had two root canals. I never had any pain and his work was even recognized by my current dentist during my X-​ray and cleaning exam.
He noticed how good his root canal work was and asked who I went to.
He is extremely talented and I haven’t had any issues.

I hate going but if you have to go, they are the best… I have nothing but great things to say about Dr. Tarm and he is someone I hate to see but … if i do… I wouldn’t go to anyone but him.

I dont think I would go back here. Rude staff and doctor is not a people person at all!
Zero stars, I wish.

Just had my root canal and I was soooo nervous after hearing lots of horror stories. But Dr. Tarm and his entire staff made the process so painless and easy! Honestly, it was easier than the failed filling replacement that started my problem. I recommend Tri Valley Endodontics whole heartedly. If I ever need another one I will be back!

Thank you so much to the whole staff at Tri Valley Endodontics. My husband was suffering from a nerve/​tooth issue and needed an emergency root canal. With our regular dentist on vacation and several dead end phone calls, I tried one look at Unilocal and found a Tri Valley Endodontics. All I had to say was emergency and even though it was nearing the end of the day, Gilbert said «come on in, we’ll figure it out». We got there, got right in, and a couple hours later my husband came out smiling. Everybody was reassuring and didn’t mind at all that we had our three year old in tow as well. I will definitely be back to this office for any specialty work. Amazing staff. Thank you!

If you ever need any major dental work done on your teeth, this is the place to go! The office staff is great, and very friendly. Gilbert was such a wonderful help with dealing with insurance, and he went above and beyond to help us with other questions and concerns. Dr. Tarm is an excellent dentist, who makes you feel comfortable. I actually fell asleep during a root canal. Need I say more? I’ve had some horrible experiences with different dental companies in the past, so it was such a relief to find this place. I have no concerns about the work that was done. I highly recommend Tri Valley Endodontics!

I have been to a few endodontist Dr Tarm by far is the best one
have ever been to very clean office he and staff were great

My dentist referred me to Dr. Nguyen of Tri Valley Endodontics for a root canal. My experience with this group was all positive. The office is neat, clean and well organized. The staff was extremely helpful, pleasant and attentive. Dr. Nguyen himself was very generous and clear with his description each step of the way. His technique feels very expert while he’s working.
I’m overly sensitive to dental pain of any kind, and fear the needle as much as the drill. Dr. Nguyen took his time with the numbing and used several different approaches, getting the job done with maximum efficiency (which is important when you’re talking about needles). During the operation, his competency was apparent, and the communication between him and his able assistant created a relaxed (as much as is possible in a root canal) environment.
The result was a successful RCT with minimal next-​day pain! Doesn’t get better than that.

I had a consultation with Dr. Harrison Nguyen for a possible root canal. He was very professional and explained everything about the procedure. I was a bit worried about the dreaded RCT but it was completely painless and he was very quick as well. I totally endorse Dr. Harrison. I hope I don’t need another root canal but if I do, I know where to go. Thanks Doc.

I’m writing this review update after a long conversation with Dr. Tarm, and while that did not change my previous experience, he did address many of the issues and concerns I had during those experiences. He did not ask me to «dumb down» or delete my review, so I am writing this of my own accord because I feel that his courtesy and time really reflect on the good intentions of him as an endodontist and his moral business model for his practice.
In my initial review, I addressed the unsatisfactory service and attitudes of the staff, and Dr. Tarm informed me that he had taken what I said and used it to better the performances of his staff. I can’t express how much I appreciate the fact that he takes his customers’ and patients’ reviews seriously, and rather than writing it off as «you can’t please everyone,» he took the time to speak to his staff and then to me to see how improvements can be made.
In my previous review, I also mentioned that I observed that my mom had to ask for another numbing shot and that there were concerns about whether or not the tooth could be taken out. Dr. Tarm informed me that sometimes in situations like this when the tooth is incredibly inflamed and swollen, there may be excessive bruising and discomfort. I understand this, and I do see that sometimes in extreme situations, it can be hard to gauge the extent of what can be done until the actual procedure.
The server setback I previously mentioned was a result of rotten luck, but Dr. Tarm did admit that he was quite frustrated by the setbacks that morning and that it may have affected his mood, which is absolutely understandable. I really appreciated the fact that he didn’t try to make it seem like I was being too sensitive or unreasonable, and that he was aware of the issues that happened that morning and is working hard to make sure such problems don’t happen again.
I feel that the fact that Dr. Tarm took the time out of his own personal schedule to call me and have an actual conversation about my experience truly reflects on the kind of dentist (and person) he is. He has plenty of rave reviews, so what’s one unsatisfactory review? Instead, he took the time to address and improve, and I can’t be any more thankful for that. I feel that it shows he takes each and every one of his patients seriously, and that’s really one of the most important qualities in a healthcare professional.

Yay! Finally a good dentist! I’ve had my share of bad dental experiences. Shady billing, incomplete root canals, file separations, cancelled appointments, you name it. I have bad teeth so I need a good endodontist. Dr. Tarm gave me my options with pros & cons of both, had an efficient team, quick appointments & most of all my root canal only took an hour!!! Can’t believe it. Simply uh-​mazing.
BTW I would also mention that the magazines in t waiting room are current but it doesn’t matter because you don’t have to wait long enough to read them!

I found Dr Tarm on Unilocal and hoped that all his reviews weren’t fakes :)
I am TERRIFIED of the dentist. My teeth are extremely sensitive and it’s nearly impossible to numb anything in my mouth, so when it was determined i needed a root canal on a fractured molar, i thought i was going to die.
Dr Tarm and his team are nice, extremely helpful and most importantly, he was confident he would be able to numb my tooth. I was still sweating and panicking about it, but yes! he did eventually get me numb and it wasn’t nearly as traumatic of an event as i was thinking. I highly recommend him :)

No one… I mean NO ONE is as terrified/​petrified of the dentist as I am. So after not getting a tooth refilled after the filling fell out 2 years ago… I was disgusted and dismayed with myself. Thankfully I am not alone and while discussing my predicament at work a colleague referred me to Dr. Tarm.
I am not kidding when I say having fillings was FAR more traumatizing than my first root canal. Dr. Tarm has all the latest tools and technology. He and his staff are warm and caring.
If I ever have to have any more root work done… it will ONLY be Dr. Tarm.
Thank you so much for not making me feel like an overreactive sensitive fool which I probably am… :-)

EMERGENCY ROOT CANAL.
3 words someone ALWAYS wants to hear (detect the sarcasm)! But alas, I did hear those fateful words after some severe tooth pain sent me to the dentist on Thursday morning. I was referred from my dentist to Tri Valley Endodontics and I was very pleased with my experience there. From office staff to Dr. Tarn himself, they were all super nice and very great in explaining what was going to be done from start to finish What I loved as well was that the hygeniests always asked if I was okay and if I needed anything. Love that!
I have another root canal on deck (yuck!) in the near future and I will definitely be going back to them! I highly recommend. :)
