Andy P Duong, DDS

My first visit to Dr. Duong was a couple of years ago for a cleaning. I was not aware of his office till I saw the positive reviews on Unilocal.His offices is a few blocks away from where I live which is a plus. I have a slight phobia with dentists and needles and I saw someone had reviewed that they felt no pain when given novocaine from Dr. Duong.
Dr. Duong is now my go to dentist. Friendly staff, clean office, pain free and Dr Duong is very helpful and informative.

I don’t know how I haven’t written a review yet. I would recommend Dr Duong to anyone! I am so grateful he is my dentist, I’ve been to many other dentists and by far he is the best. He is very knowledgable about what he does and is very friendly! He also listens to you and cares about your teeth (: Also, they are called gentle dentistry for a reason, I always used to feel nervous going to the dentist but he makes you feel comfortable and is gentle with your teeth.

I went because it was convenient to where I live, and I will go back because of the experience. This was one of the easiest first patient appointments I have ever had. I didn’t even have to wait after I filled out my forms — they took me right on. Dr. Duong is calming and gentle, takes time to explain anything I asked about, from costs to x-​rays, etc. He showed me my xrays and explained everything for me. Lynn (Lin?) the technician was very patient with my inability to bite down correctly for the xrays, and she gave me the gentlest flossing and cleaning I’ve ever had. I highly recommend this dentist and his staff.

Really a great office, I have a busy complex schedule and Andy was able to work around that and still get me in within a week. This is my new home for any dental needs.

Dr. Duong took over an hour for my consultation visit to help me better understand my jaw clenching problem. He even referred me to two of his dentist colleagues for their opinions too. Dr. Duong went above and beyond for me when he could instead multitask multiple patients. After a few weeks of constant monitoring of my condition and customizing a hard mouthguard for me, I am able to cope with my teeth clenching. Thank you Dr. Duong!

I come from a long line of intense dental history. I still have baby teeth, I have veneers and dental implants. Dr. Duong has always been thorough, kind and patient. I love his bedside manner and his attentiveness. I have never in my experiences as a dental patient (which have been since I was 2 years old) have had a better dentist.

I found about Dr. Duong throug Unilocal.Yes, he is that good. First time I had a dental work done without any discomfort. No pain at all, very friendly staff. I will keep using his services.

This is the perfect start of a new beginning. Thank you fellow reviewers! Based on the ratings, I decided the reviews were convincing enough to book an appointment.
Be advised this is a same day review and FYI same day reviews means all that and more because it also means that the experience was that good that it couldn’t wait. I am so blown away at what an excellent dentist Dr. Duong is. He deserves more than five stars and I feel awful that I can’t give him anymore than that. Dr. Duong is definitely careful, informative, gentle, knowledgeable and very very detailed, he over exceeded my expectations. I’m so relieved to have found a dentist I can call my own. Ironic how I can’t wait for my follow up appointment. Usually dental visits are a nightmare, long, boring and dreadful.
During Dr. Duong’s preliminary examination for ortho work, Dr. Duong took a look at my facial/​bone structure, x-​rays, my teeth — the whole nine yards, it seemed as though he had envisioned what the end results would be, he seemed very excited and just watching that made me ecstatic. I can’t wait to see what happens next week. I was skeptical about posting a review, I almost wanted to keep him all to myself. If you ever have a chance to read this doctor Duong, I just want to let you know how extremely thankful I am to have found you — thank you so much!
Other things you may find helpful, the facility is located in the residential area of El Sobrante so you may miss it while driving down the road — try to avoid that. Dr. Duong is very patient, no rush to anything, absolutely no question goes unanswered, and procedures have literally no pain at all. Dr. Duong knows good quality service and that my friend is a plus!
Unilocalers — this is the ideal dentist, after just one visit I am very satisfied, it makes the visit to your dentist something to look forward to.

The hardest thing about finding a good dentist is not just about getting someone good at their job but also finding one that cares and takes the time to explains things to you. I received a teeth cleaning and had a cavity taken care by him. He took his time with everything and let me know step by step what he was doing. He’s very easy to talk to and I was not rushed or brushed off if I had questions. I highly recommend Dr Duong to anyone. Thanks for the great experience and your professionalism!
For those of you scared of the dentist:
What I found amazing was there was no pain/​pinch when he gave me novocaine. I found out later this was one of his specialties for those scared of seeing a dentist. He asked on a scale of 1 – 10 how much pain I felt and it was a 1. He also has another method for you as well which I forgot what it was so ask him about it!

Dr. Andy Duong has always been an extremely professional and friendly dentist that will take excellent care of your teeth. He has always filled my cavities painlessly and shows care when doing my dental work. He is also very accomodating to a busy schedule (he works on Saturdays!). Dr. Duong also provides very knowledgeable advice on how to take better care of my teeth.

Awesome Dentist! Dr. Duong is very professional and gentle with his patients. I am a very picky patient when it comes to going to a dentist. I admit that I am a procrastinator and haven’t been to the dentist for years and Duong definitely did an awesome job on my teeth. He even cleans my teeth for me and even had a deep cleaning which I always hated because it hurt so bad every time. When Dr. Duong did the procedure, it was by far way better than my other dentists I had in the past. The environment and equipment that he uses is top notch CLEAN and professional grade stuff. The great thing I love is that he is even avilable on weekends which is great for me since I’m a workaholic during the weekdays. I parked my car on the street, and they even went out to feed my meter for me during my procedure for free. That’s customer service right there!
Here’s my final rating:
