A little over six months ago, I noticed a throbbing pain in one of my lower left molars. I decided to visit the dentist after the pain got so severe, that it inhibited my eating. (I was forced to chew my food on the right side of my mouth to avoid any pain.) My stepmother set up an appointment for me with her dentist and I agreed to visit in hopes that the ache in my mouth would be alleviated. As soon as I walked into the waiting room, I was greeted by a friendly desk assistant who prompted me to sign in and take a seat. The room itself was very nicely lit, and there were some comfortable couches in the waiting room. I didn?t have to wait too long before I was seen by the dentist himself. After the usual x-rays and general examinations, it was made clear to me that I had a massive cavity that had reached the nerve endings in my mouth. Dr. Minh then provided me with several solutions to my problem, explaining each option with careful detail and the treatment plans as well as an estimate for each. I was fully aware of my options and understood every aspect of the appointment. I ended up deciding to have the tooth pulled, after which an appointment was made shortly afterwards. Dr. Minh is very good at what he does?the tooth extraction was quick and painless. There was minimal swelling that went away after a few hours. More recently, I had a 6 month check up in which I was made aware that I had a cavity that needed filling. I was having some financial troubles, however, and was unable to pay the fee that the insurance could not cover. Dr. Minh was concerned for the damage that may result if the tooth was not treated, and declared that it was unacceptable for me to leave the tooth untreated. He decided that he would fill the tooth despite my inability to pay, and we worked out a payment option. Dr. Minh sincerely cares for the oral health of his patients, and is willing to go above and beyond to help them out. I would definitely recommend him to any friends, for his exceptional work as a dentist, dedication to his field and compassionate heart for his patients.
