“I have not been to the dentist in years, and have definitely developed a fear. However, Dr Salha and all the techs in the office were incredibly kind, patient, informative, and sensitive of my situation. Dr Salha was very gentle, and explained the issues in depth but also very easily comprehensible. I could tell he had my best interests in mind and did not want me to undergo any unnecessary procedures, and none of the exam felt rushed. I would highly recommend going here for anyone who wants a small office with a very personable staff.”

It took a lot to get me into a dental office. After years of neglect and damage, finding someone I could feel comfortable enough to care for me and be my partner in helping me step past fear and shame to get my mouth in good repair was a terrifying prospect. But from the very first contact with Dr. Salha's office, my initial call with them proved professional, capable, kind, and compassionate. My visit today, where I met with both Dr. Sahla and his dental assistant, proved all of those qualities to be true throughout his practice. This initial exam was thorough, honest, gentle, and caring. There's no sugarcoating the fact that my dental situation is pretty dire, I walked in there knowing that. But instead of feeling overwhelmed and beating myself up, Dr. Salha and his team helped me feel like I could leave that past behind, and that we were going to move forward today onto a better future. I trust them, and know they want nothing but the best for me--and I'm absolutely certain that they are the best choice I could have made to deliver the highest quality dental restoration within my insurance and financial means.

Very friendly
Verified patient
Beautiful inside, very clean. I loved the hygeinist, she did an amazing job, no irritation for a very thorough cleaning. She was also very professional & comforting, pretty much why I would return. The dentist himself, Salha, I wish he would’ve been a little more warm, I don’t expect bubbly but introducing himself and seeming more willing to answer my questions would’ve been nice. It was a rushed 2-3min with him so I’m unsure how to feel. However, I will return because I loved my cleaning.
Verified patient
I had a good visit with Dr. Salha. He got on my case about not keeping up with my appointments and that reassured me that he truly cares for his patients and their health. He is the best and so is his staff.
Verified patient
