Vu Orthodontics

I had a very severe case of an overbite and Dr. Vu was able to make my teeth look extremely straight in only two years. He is very straightforward and never makes promises he cannot keep which is a refreshing change compared to other doctors who will only say whatever you want to hear.
The staff is very knowledgable and they know what they are doing… they do everything efficiently and correctly. Dr. Vu himself is extremely knowledgable and knows exactly what to correct each time. The office itself is very clean.
Overall, getting braces was a very good experience and I would recommend it to anybody who is planning on getting them.

I don’t think any doctor would spend a 2.5hr consultation free of charge. My case might be different since I tend to ask lots of questions.
Dentist is very knowledgeable, thorough, and not pushy.
He went thru 2 possible treatment options and discussed pro & con.
Office is clean front/​back. Only downside of this place is the wait time can be 1−2hours long.

I’ve been going here for three years, every time I have an appointment I have to wait a few hours just to get my teeth done. There’s assistants walking around everywhere, but I still have to wait. The orthodontists are very rude and unhelpful and they always do a poor job on my teeth. The wire is way too long every time. I went there yesterday AND THE ASSISTANT GOT MY LIP STUCK IN A CHAIN. Somehow they always accidentally pinch my skin. Most are really unprofessional and rude. People will come after me but be able to leave before me. A few years ago, they extracted four of my teeth and now I am left with a bunch of gaps that is unable to close. IT HAS BEEN THREE YEARS, and they STILL can’t step up their game. My family won’t be coming here after my teeth are done.

Dr Vu and his staff were very helpful and professional with us when we needed help. We are not from this area, but needed to replace lost braces bands.
My daughter lost her rubber bands during our trip. We went to Dr. Vu’s office and they kindly replaced them.
I can tell that they take good care of their patients by the way they kindly treated us.

Great place! Dr. Vu and his staff knows what they are doing and the place is really clean. I had this tooth that was grown inside and Dr. Vu found how to bring it down doing his awesome surgery skills and aligned with my other teeth. He really cares about your teeth and make sure the braces are on right. The receptionist knows alot and will be willing to answer any questions. I do highly recommend this place!

I’m not a patient of theirs, but I walked in their door after learning that the Albertson’s next door didn’t carry dental wax. Even though it appears I came in after hours they were very friendly and weren’t trying to shoo me away. My braces were killing my cheek and when I asked to buy some of their dental wax they gave me more than I needed for free.
If they are this considerate to someone they know is someone else’s patient, I could only imagine they are even better with their own patients.

I thought I’d write a review for Dr. Vu since him and his staff has been doing a great job. I am still in the process of getting my teeth done. First time having braces and it’s been almost 2 months now. I’ll probably update this review as time passes. But so far, everyone has been really helpful and kind.
The front office lady who always sits in the front desk, she’s very knowledgeable and was able to answer any questions I have during the consultation. Both she and Dr. Vu makes me feel happy and satisfied in making him my official ortho doc. Everything seems to be going great. He saved me a lot of money (esp. as a student on her own). I am very grateful of everything the staff and Dr. Vu does. I highly recommend this place!

I really like this doctor. Very nice easy going and knowledgeable DR. Clearly know what he is doing. Educates his patient thoroughly and then LET THEM make the decision on their treatment. This may not be a big deal breaker for most who expects their DR to do everything for them. For me this is a big deal. The staff were friendly and get their work done accordingly, new office and equipment. Provide photos and X-​Rays for patient instead of outsourcing it (saves a lot of hassle) and give his patient personal copies upon request at no additional charge. Big plus. Highly recommend. Price will vary base on insurance provider and cases.
One negative is I have to wait a while to get check on due to under staff recently.

I have always hated going to the dentist due to bad experiences with dentists scratching the gums under my tongue because they weren’t looking or were too busy talking to someone else while working on my teeth. WTF?! I had stopped going to get my biannual teeth cleaning for two years because I was so traumatize. When I finally got to college and was covered by the university insurance, I decided to do some research and find a good place to go to. Vu Orthodontics is a few minutes away from home and my dentist’s name is Mindy. Mindy is soft spoken and gentle to the touch. She is always careful with my teeth and mouth and she actually sits down with me and lets me know what the problems are. She shows me my x-​rays and actually explains what I am looking at. Now that I am out of school and do not have insurance anymore, she tries her best to recommend ways for me to save money while still being able to come in and get my biannual teeth cleaning. Her prices are decent and I love having her work on my teeth. Great place!

I had a cross bite and a funky tooth that stuck out. My funky tooth was an eyesore that I lived with for over 20 years! I was afraid of the pain of conventional braces and never thought that I would be a candidate for Invasalign. Invasalign was designed to be worn for about 18 months. Dr. Vu designed a program specifically for my teeth which I wore for close to 3 years. I would have had to wear conventional braces for the same amount of time thanks to the cross bite and my funky tooth. On top of that, I would have to do some some funny cranking exercises if I chose conventional braces.
I go to Dr. Vu and refer everyone that I come across to him because he’s a perfectionist. Sometimes I get anxious because he takes too long on me, but I can’t complain about that. I can care less about the staff, although I’ve never had a problem with them before. They’ve always been professional in my eyes. My friends and their family travel distances just to go to Dr. Vu because they were very impressed with how my teeth turned out.
Just yesterday, I called the office early in the morning but didn’t get through to a live person (probably because I called before work hours), but later in the day I received a phone call from Dr. Vu personally. I was very shocked to hear his voice.
I’ve been in the healthcare field for 13 years. I know first hand that the standard of the healthcare industry has dropped significantly throughout the years because of reimbursements cuts made by the insurance company to the providers. In order to keep up with overhead the providers will have to double/​triple book to be able to meet the quota for the day.
Having your doctor personally call you is stellar service in my books. I will continue to refer my friends and family to Dr. Vu because I know he is passionate and stands behind his work.

Just got my braces removed. This is my second time around. I’m extremely pleased with his quality of work and dedication to his patients. And guess what? My treatment has been almost painless! I guess his PhD in Mechanics or Physics or something of that nature really helped. The man knows how to do his job well.

My review for Dr. Vu of Vu Orthodontics is a reply to a previous poster, Ak M.
His review could not be further from the truth. As a longtime patient of Dr. Vu, I can address the outrageous points Ak M has made.
First of all, I have been a patient for a much longer period, and have seen nothing but the pursuit of perfection in Dr. Vu’s office. The quality has not declined, but rather has been on a steady rise as Dr. Vu takes everyday as an opportunity to better his practice, passing the results on to his patients. He has dedicated his life to this profession, which makes the claim about his money-​driven status completely egregious. How can someone put a price on passion, heart, and soul into their work?
Secondly, his assistants have been hand-​chosen after proving they have the sufficient skills to work in his office. Not only are they knowledgeable about braces and Dr. Vu’s procedures, they are also genuine people and display the most respectable chair-​side manners. During the course of my five year treatment, I have seen various assistants come and go, but what I have also witnessed was the growth of their skills. Not only have they made drastic improvements in their work, they have shown myself, as well as other patients, the utmost respect and care.
Thirdly, to be simply mathematical, there is only one Dr. Vu in the office and he is never late. He and his assistants may be helping a handful of patients at a time, some with more dire orthodontic problems than the last. Although there can be many patients in the room, Dr. Vu ensures that each patient has enough time with him to not only address their orthodontic needs, but to also answer any questions and be genuinely concerned about their lives. Dr. Vu enjoys showing pictures of a patient’s progress and the goals he is trying to achieve in helping to make their teeth straight. Would you rather not have a doctor explain to you what’s going on?
Lastly, overbooking is common in every medical practice. What else is very common is impatience.

I highly recommend Vu Orthodontics. My experience with braces was a positive one. For the most part, it was painless and flew by quicker than I expected. I was very ignorant of dental hygiene but Dr. Vu is very informative. He always gave multiples opinions along with his recommendation. I never went home with any doubt. During every appointment, I was greeted positively and I did not feel out of place (like I normally feel in other dental offices). Great place for both kids and adults.

Have used his services for about 4 years and have watched his quality decline. I was pleased with him initially, but now he’s just about making money and his quality of work has suffered. He has two dental assistants who are not very nice to the kids. He is often late for his appointments due to overbooking. Kids have to sit in the dental chair for at least ½ hour before any maintenance work is done. Spends a lot of time showing pictures/​work of his other patients, but not a lot of time on the progress and results of your own kids.

Dr. Vu is the best!
My process has been painless and I’m 6 months ahead of schedule. He was also the only orthodontist that said I didn’t need teeth extracted or head gear.
His office has great hours too! Open late weekdays and open on the weekends :)
