"My grandma was staying with me during the quarantine and she had a dental emergency. Dr. O'Shea and Brenda took care of her the next day. Dr. O'Shea was very helpful and gave my grandma a good diagnosis and help with her problem. It's so good to know we have Dr O'Shea and his team around during these trying times! 10/10 would recommend!"
"I have been a patient at Academy Dental Care for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff to include Dr. O'Shea, Office Mgr., front desk personnel, hygienist, and all the remaining staff, are always courteous, professional, informative and caring. They always take you in on time and never rush you out. Before they begin the dental exam, they ask if there are any concerns or problems. The following exam is thorough and they discuss their evaluation with you. I highly recommend Academy Dental Care."

Dr. Nguyen has really showed me how he cares about his patients. He tried reaching me in different ways to explain to me why I was in pain. He has proven to me that every situation is different and his staff is very friendly and nice! I will definitely go back whenever I get the chance.
Wow I am so impressed by the wonderful service that I have received from these guys. Amy has been so wonderfully helpful and just a great person in general. The dental assistance are great but Eliza truly cares about her patients. I truly believe that this group is very well organized and happy doing the work that they do. Dr. Nguyen must be great to work for because the happiness of the staff truly shows it.
the receptionist was kind and courteous in getting me signed up in my dental plan and how it work and it coverages. the technician was very pleasant and the dentist was very informative in the process and dental work i wanted to have done and the correct way to proceed.
Excellent service and environment. Dr Nguyen and his staff do an amazing job. Everything went quick and painlessly, my cleaning was top notch, and my whitening went flawlessly. Highly recommend.
