“Mrs.”
By: Jean Basuil
I've been going to Dr. Tammy for years, and have veen very satisfied with her services. At first I was referred by a co-worker and decided to switch since I was not happy with our previous dentist. Tammy and her staff have taken good care of me and my whole family. She's not just our regular dentist, but she also offers ortho, which is very convenient for me as well as being open on Saturdays to accommodate our busy schedules. Dr. Tammy and her staff are great. I have referred many of my friends to her and will continue to have her as our dentist for years to come. Congratulations Dr. Tammy & staff for NBC's best doctor award! Keep up the good work!

My husband & I and our 3 children have been patients of Dr. Nguyen for 13 years now. She's always been wonderful at her quality & attention she gives. I'm a life time patient to the great dentist Tammy Nguyen. My children now 16,13 & 8 yrs.old have always been 100% comfortable with Dr. Tammy & we appreciate all she's done for our family. I highly recommend Dr. Nguyen to anyone and everyone needing dental work. We originally drove here from Milpitas, then from San Jose & now we drive all the way to her office from Manteca. Tammy is an extended family member, including all her awsome staff. Charlene Craig

I've been with Dr. Tammy since the early 90's and i'm 110% satisfied. My wife & daughter have also been under Dr. Tammy's care since 1997. She's not only our dentist but our friend and she treats us like we're her family. I would highly recommend her to anyone. P.S. She has let us go on the payment plan since I no longer have insurance and has always given me a break on our dental bills. Carl Shamblin

Doctor Tammy Nguyen has changed my husband's views about dentists. He's been very scared about having any work done, but because of her caring and gentle nature, she's changed his outlook. She's so good about understanding how he felt and making sure he was comfortable. The ladies in the office are so nice and helpful. They answer all my questions and go out of their way to find out hard-to-answer insurance questions. This office is outstanding! My husband and I love this place... Christopher & Rosemary Anderson
