I went to Dr Tran for several years for routine cleanings; fillings; a veneer; & an implant. I chose Dr. Tran bc he accepts Medi-Cal, which is good. The Medi-Cal reimbursement rate is so low, most doctors & dentists won't accept Medi-Cal patients. At the time, they only got $20 for an office visit. My vet gets more than that. I'd give him five stars just for expanding poor people's access to dental care. And he's a Cal grad. Go Bears! I also like that Dr Tran gave me gas. My front teeth were knocked out in a car accident & I'm super nervous about anyone touching my teeth. The gas *really* helped. While seeing Dr Tran, I was assaulted by a stranger who hit me in the mouth & one of my upper front teeth turned black. Dr. Tran did a veneer to fix that. Years later, the gums around the veneered tooth began to recede. You can see the post now. My current dentist told me that happens sometimes, but still. Also I had a gap in my front teeth that's on the side now & bigger. Not happy abt that. Several years later, I ended up losing one of my back teeth that Dr. Tran filled. He didn't get all of the cavity then put a crown over it. My tooth literally rotted out under the filling & had to get pulled

About Front Desk: When I was a patient of Dr Tran, an older white woman was his receptionist. She seemed pleasant enough until the check I wrote them bounced. She was just rude. It was embarrassing. And I didn't do it on purpose FFS! Bad math figuring out my account balance :) She would not let me write a replacement check, so I paid cash. Later on, she sent me a statement & the payment wasn't there. Fought with them for months over this. Ended up switching dentists bc of it. It was reported it to the credit bureaus, so it lowered my credit score for years. Finally I contested it with the credit bureaus & it was removed. They had no documentation to support their claim that I owed them money.
