Meet Our Team

The same faces, visit after visit

Five doctors, nine hygienists, assistants and coordinators, and one in-house lab — all under the same roof in Duncanville. Here’s who’s who.

Our Doctors & Owners

Co-Owner · General Dentist

Dr. Michael Nguyen, DDS

Dr. Michael Nguyen is a skilled general dentist dedicated to providing comprehensive dental care in a friendly, patient-focused environment. He is committed to helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles.

Patients most often mention that he sits down and walks through every detail of a treatment plan before anything begins — the imaging, the options, and the order things should happen in.

Co-Owner · In-House Lab

David Pham

My name is David Pham, I am the co-owner of Precision Dental. I oversee the office operations. My background is in dental lab technology since 2011, starting with fabrication of dentures and crowns in a small set up lab in my parent’s backyard.

That lab is now inside the practice. It’s why crowns and dentures are finished here rather than shipped out, and why most patients leave the same day with teeth.

The Wider Team

The rest of the team

Most of your visit is spent with these nine. Several are named by first name in our Google reviews, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Gia

Registered Dental Hygienist

Howdy y’all! I’m so excited to be joining the PCD team! I’ve been a dental hygienist for more than five years, having graduated from Texas A&M College of Dentistry in 2020. I am incredibly passionate about patient education and making sure everyone who sits in my chair feels comfortable, heard, and leaves with a smile they love.

Outside of the clinic, I’m a proud wife and mother. My three-year-old son definitely keeps me busy and on my toes! When I get a rare quiet moment to myself, you can usually find me behind a camera lens — photography is my favorite creative outlet.

Jessica Gallegos

Lead Assistant · RDA

Hi, I’m Jessica Gallegos, a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) and proud graduate of Kaplan College, Class of 2013. With over a decade of experience in the dental field, I serve as the Lead Assistant, committed to providing patients with comfort, care, and confidence at every visit.

As a wife and mother of three, I know how important a healthy smile is for the whole family. Creating positive experiences for our patients and helping them feel at ease is what I love most about what I do.

Josefina Aguilar

Hygiene Coordinator

Hello, my name is Josefina Aguilar, and I am the Hygiene Coordinator at our dental office. I am passionate about educating patients on the importance of maintaining their oral health through regular preventive care and routine dental cleanings.

Outside of the office, I enjoy creating beautiful floral bouquets and spending quality time with my family and loved ones.

Karina

Insurance Coordinator

Hi, I’m Karina, your Insurance Coordinator. I help patients understand their insurance benefits, verify coverage, and navigate the claims process. My goal is to make insurance as simple and stress-free as possible by providing clear information and personalized support.

Outside of work, I enjoy baking and cooking, and I have a passion for traveling and experiencing different cultures. When I’m not in the kitchen, you’ll usually find me with my furry best friend.

Joanna Cardoza

New Patient Coordinator

Hello! My name is Joanna Cardoza, and I am the Front Desk Receptionist and New Patient Coordinator at Precision Dental. With over 10 years of experience in the dental field, I am passionate about creating a welcoming and positive experience for every patient who walks through our doors.

Outside of the office, I enjoy staying active at the gym and spending quality time with my husband and our two beautiful daughters.

Gricelda Castillo

Front Desk Receptionist

Gricelda Castillo has over 13 years of experience in the dental field, bringing a wealth of knowledge and dedication to her work. Throughout her career, she has built strong relationships with patients and colleagues, ensuring a welcoming and professional environment.

If you need your visit or insurance questions handled in Spanish, ask for Gris at the front desk.

Karla

Registered Dental Hygienist

Karla is the name that comes up most often in our reviews. Patients credit her with explaining what she’s doing as she goes, checking in constantly about comfort, and getting long-overdue cleanings done without pain. If it’s been five years since your last visit, she is used to that.

Diana

Dental Assistant

Diana walks new patients through what their visit will involve before it starts — imaging, exam, and what happens next — so there are no surprises. She is frequently the reason first-time patients say they left feeling comfortable.

Caren

Patient Care Coordinator

Caren handles scheduling, checkout and treatment sequencing — including the part where she finds room for a deep cleaning and a follow-up in the same week when someone needs it.

Familiar faces

Most of this team has been here for years, not months.

Hygienists, assistants, lab technicians and coordinators who know your history without reading it back.

How We Practice

Three things we do not compromise on

These are the rules every doctor and every member of the team works to.

01

Explain it before you do it

No treatment is scheduled until you have seen the images, heard the options and know what each one costs. If a tooth can be watched rather than drilled, we say so.

02

Keep the work in the building

The lab, the specialists and the imaging are all on site. Fewer referrals means fewer weeks between the problem and the fix, and one team accountable for the result.

03

Treat the person, not the chart

Most people who walk in nervous have a reason. We go at the pace that works, and nobody is lectured about the years they missed.
