Incredible dental office. The space is beautiful and the staff was great. Going to the dentist makes me anxious, but they provide tools to help ease that anxiety like noise cancelling headphones, eye masks, pillows, etc. Dr. Buckins is so kind, and her dental assistant (Moriah, I believe) was so gentle. While I still don't love dental work, they made the experience calming and positive.

The office is beautiful and the staff are gentle and friendly! High tech equipment and they provided a blanket and aromatherapy for comfort. I also left with a top notch goodie bag! Make sure you pay for parking as soon as you arrive otherwise you might get a parking violation.

This was my first visit to an Oral Surgeon – Dr. Buckins and she was wonderful. She explained everything she was doing/going to do thoroughly. It’s nice to be treated like a person and not a $. Thank you Dr. Buckins.

Dr. Buckins is an excellent dentist! When I first came to see her she was straightforward and honest. She was very informative on my treatment and discussed the necessity to do so and how beneficial it would be for my oral health. Overall, I recommend her to anyone who is looking to get the best quality dental care.

Ms. Buckins provided dental services to me and did an excellent job. She made me feel comfortable in her dental chair from the start, which is no small feat as I admittedly maintain a healthy fear of dental procedures. She listens to her patients; even the procedure was relatively painless and her clinical proficiency is top notch. If you are looking for a warm, professional and knowledgeable dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Buckins!

Dr. Buckins staff have always provided me with excellent service. From the moment you walk in they greet you with a smile (even with their masks on). Thank you Dr. Buckins for caring for your patients’ health.

I wanted to take the time to thank Dr. Buckins for her amazing work, expertise, clinical knowledge, and amazing bedside manner. I was able to have my oral care done by her, which included the fixing of a significant discoloration on my front two teeth over the past 10+ years. Not only did she provide exceptional service, but also took the time to explain the plan and each phase of intervention. Her caring presence, attention to detail & creating an environment of luxury made it such an enjoyed experience I have gotten some amazing compliments on her work. She has a patient in me for life =)

Dr. Buckins is amazing!! She did a tooth extraction for me and did a great job and her injection for the numbing was excellent because I did not feel a thing! I would like to continue to go to her for that sole purpose of painless her injections are. Thank you so much for that!

I have to say this is the best dentist I have ever taken my daughter to. My daughter has special needs and her regular dentist said she needed an extraction and nobody would help me. I even tried the Western Dental in Lancaster off of J and they wouldn't even see her without an appointment. Dr. Buckins not only saw my daughter, but extracted that tooth in less than two minutes. I couldn't have been happier with the service of the entire team there. I will never take my daughter to another dentist.

Thank you so much Dr. Buckins & staff! In a scramble over my daughter's abscess on her tooth, the Doctor accommodated my schedule and saw my daughter & quickly taking action! You and your staff are very professional and calm—as a mom, I tend to panic over my children's health and well-being. Thank you for your kindness and knowledge. Your office is always so pleasant and clean.
