Winchester Dental Place

This is a great dental place and has an excellent dentist. I’ve been visiting Dr. Vu since he first opened his office in Milpitas, CA. The office is always clean and comfortable. Dr. Vu is really nice and easy to work with. He is candid and honestly practicing Dentistry. His advices on my teeth were right on and only did what were necessary on my teeth.
There are some bad dentists out there who are only out to make a profit and advises you falsely or accidentally, but not DR. Vu. That’s why, I’ve been his patient for years!

I had a very bad tooth ache and needed a dentist ASAP. I didnt know which dentist to choose from. As usual, I rely on Unilocal as my first to go source. I decided to go to Winchester Dental Place because it is the nearest one to my hotel with the best reviews. I was able to make an appointment on the same day and Dr. Vu did an amazing job. He was able to save my tooth and his work was so gentle. I had the filling done and it is flawless. I’m glad that I came here and definitely will come back whenever I am in town. Thank you Dr. Vu for making my trip to San Jose a pleasant one.

Dr. Vu is the best! I have been to him for multiple extractions, braces/​orhodontics, and most recently a root canal. His office is clean and modern and his staff is friendly.

Dr. Vu and the staff here are awesome and affordable. Before coming here I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 10 years mainly because nothing was wrong with my teeth and I also don’t like going to the doctors. The staff here definitely changed my mind though. They are all super laid back, joke around with each other and overall seem to really enjoy what they do. Melissa and Bianca at the front desk make you feel right at home as soon as you step into the office. Oh and they hooked me up with a free whitening for being a new patient! Can’t beat that.

Dr. Vu he helps me have an awesome smile nd is an awesome person to be around!!! I Love his assistants especially Bianca!!! Lol if ur feelings hurt in anyway call doctor Vu right away!!!

I was in need of a dentist that also was an oral surgeon so I looked on Unilocal and saw that Dr. Vu had good reviews and was across the street from my medical doctor so I made the appointment. The office was new and I could see that the help was sparse and not very knowledgeable but thought I would check out the dentist. The extractions went OK but the other work I had done was sub par and the spacing of the crown was poor and still attracts food.
My wife needed some crowns right after I went and she had several crowns. On doing the first two crown she started having pain in this both teeth. She went to see him and he said wait two week and gave her pain meds. Even after this she was still in pain and found out he had not killed the nerve in the tooth. She went back and he DRILLED through the new both new crowns and did the root canals that should have been done at the start!
After one year we had moved out of state and she went to a new local dentist to get her teeth cleaned. On doing that both crowns came off. The dentist was shocked and had to rework the teeth and fill the holes in the crowns. This was a terrible and expensive process to have to go through in the space of one year!
Now three years later another crown that he did just broke in half!
This guy is a butcher and should not be a practicing dentist. My recommendation is to stay away!!!

Best dentist I have been to in the bay area. The doc is very efficient and gets you in and out as fast as possible. He takes delta dental which was awesome!

Very quick, professional, attentive and honest service.
This is the second dentist I’ve seen since moving back to the bay area.
my previous dentist (Dr. Andrew Fong) diagnosed me with 5 cavities and showed me the black stains spots on my teeth. the exam was done using an oral camera, no xray. (it was a groupon deal)
i take good care of my teeth and was slightly suspicious that i had 5 cavities. So i decided to get a second opinion from Dr. Vu. The rest of my family goes here. I paid for the xray, cleaning. The diagnosis was that i needed my wisdom tooth extracted (no surprise) and that I had no cavities. I asked about the dark spots on my teeth. Dr. Vu explained those were just stains that could be scratched out and were not cavities. Cavities are soft and when he pressed the dental pick on the tooth, it was hard. He scratched out those stains with a dental pick in less than 5 seconds.
I asked Dr. Vu about my previous diagnosis of 5 cavities from a different dentist. Dr. Vu said that different dentists have different opinions and that some are more aggressive in their treatment but that I definitely did not have any cavities.
I am not sure if Dr. Andrew Fong was trying to scam me or if it was overly aggressive preventative treatment. Either way, Dr. Vu’s diagnosis included a panoramic xray that PROVED I had no cavities.
Overall, I am very happy to find a dentist who practices with integrity and has my well being in mind. I will be recommending Dr. Vu to my friends.

Dr. Vu is the sh*t! He is extremely conscious of prices for you and always make sure to give you the full story with all your options. Love this place!

When I first walked into his office, I thought his office was lovely, comfortable, organized, and well-​kept.
My visits with Dr. Vu have all been pleasant. He was nice and very down-​to-​earth during our conversations. He didn’t judge if I had not had a cleaning in a while either since this economy has been rough sometimes. He always gave options for treatments and gave good consultations. He’s also really good and careful with his hands during treatments. Not only did he work efficiently and in a timely manner, his work felt painless! His prices were also reasonable.
Dr. Vu is one of the best dentists I know! Give him a try if you’re looking for a dentist. You won’t be disappointed.

This place is Awesome! I’ve had a lot of different dentists but none are as good as Dr. Vu and his Staff! They are very nice and helpful. They’ve been flexible if I’ve had to reschedule and will always twist the arm of my insurance. They really are on your side and don’t over charge! FIVE STARS All the way!

Visited for a consultation. The office is nice but the dentist Dr Vu is OK.

I purchased a $ 35 Groupon for cleaning, x-​ray and dental exam. Without even seeing into my mouth, he warned me saying that the cleaning included just x-​ray and polishing. For a better cleaning I had to add more money, like a car cleaning. If you want a cleaner car, you need to pay more, he said. He also warned me that the coupon was not valid for periodontal disease. He didn’t even look into my mouth! After finally seeing into my mouth he confirmed his prediction. I needed a deep cleaning. I could do the deep cleaning directly there (he started advertising himself, offering me a discount) and he also referred a friend as specialist. The assistant gave me a proposed treatment plan also for removing the wisdom teeth.
At the end, he said that I could ask Groupon the refund because of the periodontal disease. Strange, because 6 months ago my dentist never mentioned this disease to me…

The worst. I went here because my last dentist stopped accepting my lousy insurance. I have never had a quicker, more substandard exam and cleaning in my life. Ignore the other good ratings this guy has. It seems if you are not a big ticket patient you get the minimum care you can be given so some insurance can be billed. How bad was it? Read the letter I sent to my insurance company below…
I would like to go on record as saying John Vu, DDS at 1399 Winchester Blvd #120, San Jose CA should be never be allowed to see DeltaCare patients. My prior dentist (in fact my last two dentists) have stopped accepting DeltaCare so I moved to Dr Vu’s office.
I have never had a worse job done. The exam and cleaning did not even come close to the standard that any prior dentist in my 38 years has ever set. If there is a minimum standard for what is necessary for an exam and cleaning Dr. Vu does not meet it. He looks in my mouth, quickly runs an electric cleaning tool around the perimeter of my teeth and leaves. Not once does he even consider scraping plaque from my teeth. Never does he mention or seem to notice the mouth full of fillings I have. Forget the idea that he would mention I grind my teeth and have signs of wearing. Every other dentist manages to notice it quite obviously and always is talking abut night guards. I doubt he even looked at the stack of x-​rays he took. The only thing he wanted to look at and mentioned was my insurance and what it is covering. From listening to my dentists over the years I have learned about the status of my teeth and know what to expect at a minimum from an exam and cleaning.
This was literally the quickest and most careless cleaning ever. It seems Dr. Vu’s only concern was what can he bill my insurance for and doing just enough to try and justify billing it. Shoot some x-​rays and get done as quickly as possible, that seems to be the approach to dental care for new patients. My lack of interest in any additional cosmetic work made me otherwise worthless. Certainly not of enough value to warrant a thorough exam and cleaning. It leaves me thinking Dr. Vu is just preying on uneducated patients who have enough insurance or lack of knowledge that he can push more expensive cosmetic procedures. All dentists perform these and it is understandably a valuable part of their practice but good dentists never short change basic dental care to focus only on more profitable patients and procedures.
Dr. Vu’s dental assistant is just as bad if not worse. She was responsible for performing a polishing and then flossing. It seems she is afraid of putting her hands in patient’s mouth for more than a second at a time. The polishing was haphazard at best, and that is being generous with my description. As for the flossing, why does she even bother? She pushes the floss so it breaks through between the teeth and immediately pulls it back out. If it is possible for floss to not touch the side of your teeth, she found a way to make it happen. I wanted to take the floss from her and show her that good dental care requires you use the floss to try and remove plaque and food particles from the sides of the teeth and around the gums. Absolutely incompetent is the word to describe her.
Overall this office is a joke. DeltaCare patients are receiving substandard care and DeltaCare is being taken for a financial ride by this, and I use the word very loosely, dentist. Do yourselves and patients a favor and drop this dentist.
My mouth feels dirtier from having been in their office and having them touch me. I just called and made an appointment with my old dentist that I will have to pay full out of pocket retail pricing for but it is worth it to have a competent job done.

I wish I found Dr. Vu years ago. My three kids can’t wait to go to the dentist now. Beautiful office, modern equipment and honest knowledgeable staff.

I’ve been in search for a dentist for quite awhile now. Dr. Vu was referred to me by a friend and he is one of the best. The staff is amazingly friendly and the office is extremely tidy. He is so kind and so easy to deal with. I had my wisdom teeth pulled out and honestly, he made it quick and painless (well i was under some stuff :)). all i can say is if you are looking, try him out. you would be glad that you did. he is awesome and so down to earth. Very comfortable to talk to and voice concerns.

Dr. Vu’s office is amazing. The staff there is friendly and truly make you feel valued. It is easy to make and reschedule an appointment. The best thing is that I never have to sit there and wait for him. I come in, check in with the receptionist, and go straight into the chair.
The Dr. is extremely nice and takes his time to ensure that the patient is taken care of. Unlike every other dentist, he addresses any concerns I have before every procedure (even a simple deep clean) just to ensure I’m comfortable. Best dentist ever! I would recommend this place to anyone.

I was searching around for a dentist, and my friend had recommended me to Dr. John Vu., i had call to make an appointment and when i arrive i was please to find out that the location was never my work place, it made it very convenient for me to stop by. I was nervous at first, but when i met the dentist he was friendly and made my visit pleasant. I will definitely come back to this dentist.
