Dr. Lhota and his assistant were very patient with my two-year old son. They spent the full time on the toddler for a very simple check-up in order to ensure that everything was right.

I didn't wait long at all for my 9:45 checkup. Dr. Lhota didn't rush through the appt. like some dentists/doctors do. He answered all of my questions and made time for the teeth cleaning I needed. I'd recommend him to people who are nervous about going to the dentist -- he's very calming and considerate. Also, I liked that he didn't try to push me into services/procedures I don't really need, like some dentists do.
