Amy Thu Tran, DDS

Dr. Tran is great! Very friendly, caring, and accommodating. She is talented and I am happy I picked her as a dentist.

Best dentist and best overall experience at a dentist’s office ever. Had not been to the dentist in 6 years and came here expecting the same criticizing and upselling I had experienced in many other offices. It was anything but that with a kind dentist who cares about you and a staff that is warming and welcoming. Wouldn’t recommend anyone else and will be going to her for life.

I never thought I’d be writing a review for a dentist. I mean, a dentist is a dentist, right? NO.
I was in pain. And I mean EXCRUCIATING pain. Didnt wanna go, figured I’d wait it out cuz dental stuff fixes itself right? (Lol, again NO). Anyway, I couldnt wait a minute longer. Went on Unilocal and saw some great reviews for this dental office and figured I’d call and see if they’d let me in that day. A really nice woman named Jennifer answered the phone and assured me that she could fit me in at 2:15 that day (on a Friday no less!!). Spent the next few hours worrying about this appointment (almost to the point of throwing up lol), but finally made it. Was greeted by Jennifer and promptly called back by a super nice hygienist (wish I could remember her name!!). A few very gentle xrays were taken, then Dr. Tran came in. She was SO sweet (but not the overly gross kinda sweet. This was genuine, put-​you-​at-​ease sweet). She explained what was going on (which wasnt nearly as bad as I thought it would be), and we made a plan to fix the issue. I left feeling still in pain but SO MENTALLY relieved that the pain was bearable. Seriously.
That pain subsided (thank god… cuz I was about to jump off a cliff lol) and on Saturday (the day after my appt), Dr Tran called to see how I was doing. WHO DOES THAT?! She actually cares… which means the world to me. I will NEVER see another dentist again. She is the bees knees, for sure!!!
Her costs are in line with everyone else. There is no way around the high cost of ANYTHING. However, a calming office environment with killer staff who actually care is priceless. PRICELESS! I seriously love these people :)

I had an exposed root in my molar that needed an emergency root canal and I had let it go until one day I was in the worst pain of my adult life. The first place that came up on Google, was this place. So I called and explained my situation (which also includes not having dental insurance), and they said that Dr. Amy Tran could see me that same day. I went to my appointment scared and in so much pain and the care and gentility that she (and her staff) gave me during my visit was amazing! She (and her staff) are amazing, caring, and so gentle! I will never go elsewhere for dental work and more so for the care and compassion! Thank you Dr. Tran and staff! :D

I made a visit to Dr. Tran after I made the mistake of calling «1800Dentist». I was out $ 90 for a less than 5 minute exam and was going to be out another $ 499 for an extraction/“mandated” cleaning. Fortunately I have to good sense to try and find a better dentist closer to home who also wouldn’t charge me an arm and a leg.
I scheduled two visits to have an exam and a wisdom tooth removed. Dr. Tran understood that I was a full-​time student, working part-​time and I found it extremely helpful that she could give me very reliable price quotes. Based on my case I was quoted between $ 134-​$ 226 for a wisdom tooth extraction and ended up paying $ 171.90 for Both the initial exam and extraction. To my surprise I was billed less than she quoted for that extraction. You can understand my relief to not have to shell out an additional $ 400 to have my problem taken care of.
Money aside, I felt well taken care of. I called in on a busy morning and she managed to fit me in at the end of her day (staying late). Even though I was her last appointment, I didn’t feel any rush at all. She was able to discuss my problem with me, a treatment plan that would work with my school and work schedule, and we even shared a little about ourselves. It was reassuring to be able to identify with my dentist!
During the extraction process, she made sure I was thoroughly numb, checking multiple times before removing the tooth. She talked me through the entire process and helped me relax as much as I possibly could. (I had 8 teeth removed as a young adolescent by a dentist with large meaty hands. Needless to say that was slightly traumatizing.) I also appreciated that she would call me after-​hours, on a Friday night to make sure that I was still doing ok. Her office double checked on me on Monday and I had been healing without any issues and had absolutely no swelling.
Long story short, if I had to do it again I would do it in a heartbeat. I look forward to seeing Dr. Tran for all my regular dental needs.

I could not possibly complain with this place. The office is clean, comfortable and inviting not to mention kid friendly! Dr. Tran is amazing her demeanor is so kind caring and un judgmental.
Amy took the time to talk to me about all of the kids treatments and tactics to help me with there dental health it was wonderful. Amy also makes my children feel calm and happy during treatment and excited to be there, is that even possible !!!? Well it is if you see Dr Any Tran!

I have been a patient for several years and have had a fair amount of dental work expertly done by Dr. Tran. She is the best dentist I have had in my nearly six decades. She is knowledgable, kind, gentle, and highly skilled. I recommend her with the highest regard.

Exceptional service and professionalism! Everyone in the office is very sweet and friendly with a nice welcoming ambience that makes it perfect for family dentistry.
Be wary to trust the single malicious Unilocal review! Doesn’t sound representative…
Dr. Tran has been my dentist for years now, and never fails to deliver top notch care. very relaxing environment and cable TV in each room. Dr Tran’s highly competent, efficient, but gentle, and patiently answers any questions I may have. The staff is well trained as well, and able to answer lingering questions. Automated reminders are set up so I don’t forget my appointment or follow-​ups. Private parking lot makes it easy. Highly recommended for any group or age for the best dental care!

Dr. Tran is an amazing dentist and a lovely woman! I became a new patient of hers after reading all the great Unilocal reviews. That was before D.C.‘s review… which is pretty much completely opposite from the two encounters I’ve had with Dr. Tran. I love that she takes later appointments so I don’t have to miss work. She expertly replaced two old fillings for me this afternoon. She’s gentle and efficient, the office staff and dental assistants are very sweet and helpful. The office is clean, plenty of parking (in the shade!). What more could you want from your dentist? So after I already have been raving about how I love my new dentist, she emails me at 9:30 pm to check on how I’m doing and if I’m having sensitivity etc… AWESOME! Also, she may be the first dentist I’ve ever had who has good timing… i.e. knows to talk to me when my mouth is not gaping open. And finally, unlike my orthodontist, she doesn’t take one look at my teeth and comment on how much I love my coffee… she just cleans them and makes them gorgeous again. I highly recommend Dr. Amy Tran!

Customer service WIN!
I’ve been a patient of Dr Tran for a few years now and always pleased.
Nice relaxing waiting area. No institution chairs here, it’s a small family room. Free wifi and magazines available.
Most of the examination rooms have a view of the park across the street. There are also magazines and tv’s in the rooms. Honest opinion about your dental status and your oral hygiene.
If you need work beyond your basic cleaning and checkup, you will be given a easy to understand printed treatment plan. If you need major work, all credit cards are available as well as financing.
I was late for my most last appointment, when I called Jenny to explain, there was no «attitude» in her voice. When I finally arrived, i was treated professionally with no badgering for being late.
I know a late patient strains their schedule for the remainder of the day and they did not pressure me about it… Total Customer Service Win!

Crown replacement process started today! Dr. Tran continues to exceed my expectations! I will recommend her services to everyone!
I had to find a new dentist after my dentist retired. I have always been a little nervous about going to the dentist so when I find one I am happy with I’m devoted. I was with my previous dentist for about 40 years.
Dr. Tran., here’s to a long relationship!

Husband and I went there based on customer reviews and unfortunately we did not have the experience to what the other patients have had. The most unfortunate part is that my husband had the work done only to find himself being awaken at night by the pain on the tooth she worked on. The case went from mild bearable pain to need to see another dentist ASAP! And another thing was she refused to do work that is 100% covered by the insurance The only recommendation I would give about this dentist is DO NOT GO THERE or you can go there and trust your instinct to never return.

Dr. Tran is the best dentist of my life, and I’m 61 years old. She’s also the best dentist of my father’s life, and he’s 97. My father avoided dental care for many years due to past experiences of pain, so when Dr. Tran first saw him he had multiple tooth and gum issues. He’s also a gagger with a very low threshold for pain. Dr. Tran has an almost hypnotic way of inviting her patients to be calm and well-​informed. She explains dental health and procedures well and is so generous with her time and talents. Her staff is highly competent, efficient and polite. The office and work stations are immaculately clean and beautifully decorated. I would never say this about any other dentist, but it is a JOY to visit Dr. Tran for dental care.

Dr. Tran continues to be an excellent dentist to my kids. I am so impressed with her «bedside» manner and thoroughness. Anything that goes awry (my daughter’s cement was chipping off) she takes care of immediately. She makes you feel like your kid is her only patient. That’s rare. I continue to highly recommend!

Dr. Tran is an great dentist! Very professional and friendly. Very considerate and kind and does a great job. A perfectionist yet always has a plan A, B and C, just in case :) cant beat that! I am a chicken when it comes to pain and she is so patient about that and takes her time to make sure i am comfortable. Highly recommend her!

At 68 I have visited many dentists and, because I moved around a lot, I have seen many more than I think most people have. I have always been truly afraid of going to the dentist and did much to avoid it (as the many fillings in my neglected teeth attest. When we moved to Woodland a friend recommend Dr. Tran and we have been seeing her for over 13 years now. She is extraordinary! Yes, she is a sweet, gentle and caring individual, but her real strength is he outstanding skill as a dentist. I DON’T EVEN TAKE A TRANQUILIZER when I go to her (well, maybe a little for crown prep). She is careful and as pain free as a dentist can be. I should note that Dr. Tran is also my wife’s dentist and she loves her as much as I do. Her services are not inexpensive, they are just the best! Looking for a dentist? You found the best in Dr. Tran.

I had a serve toothache and I didn’t have a dentist. I looked on line and found Dr Amy and called them at 7:45am and she took me right in! She made me feel comfortable and explained in detail what was going to happen.
I don’t enjoying going to the dentist but Dr Amy made this a good experience for me!
To top it off, she called me this evening to check on me! To me that is PRICELESS!
Thank you DR Amy Tran!

Love love love Dr. Tran! I hadn’t been to the dentist in quite a while, and found Dr. Tran on Unilocal.She is the most amazingly kind and gentle dentist I’ve ever seen! I love how she created a treatment plan for me, broken down into visits, starting with the most urgent issues. The plan included out-​of-​pocket costs for each visit, so I could decide how best to move forward financially. The hygenists and office staff are all wonderful as well. I highly recommend Dr. Tran, and hope to be a lifetime patient! Do I love going to the dentist now? I can’t believe it, but I do!

I had a really bad toothache that was keeping me up at night. I was taking so much Tylenol I started googling «liver failure symptoms.» I was embarrassed, but it finally broke down and called after finding Dr. Tran on good ol’ Unilocal.It said she was good with children, and I knew I was going to be a big baby in her dentist chair.
They squeezed me in that afternoon, explained everything from billing to the procedure (emergency root canal… yuck!) with such great detail, and made me feel so at ease! I was all teary when explaining my problem and they took so much time with me! I felt like I was the only patient there! I cannot recommend this office enough! They didn’t even make fun of me when I told them of my google escapade! I walked out with no pain and a huge smile on my face!
If you are a nervous dentist-​goer, look no further! This is the spot for you!
I will certainly be back… mostly because I need a crown but also because I like them so much!

I’m very particular about the dentist I go to – so much that I had periods where I just didn’t go for my regular screening and cleaning because I just did not want to return. Sometimes I feel like they’ve rushed through the work and other times I feel like they’re overbilled my insurance for what I thought was just a routine procedure!
Not with Dr. Tran. Being in Woodland is a bit out of the way for me as a resident of Sacramento, but it’s worth the drive. She is probably the nicest dentist in the world, does an excellent job, and I feel like she has genuine care for my well-​being. Highly recommended.
