“I have no complaints, and I am satisfied with my experience at Family Apple Dentistry where Dr.Karina is located. The wait time wasn’t bad despite the simple fact that I had to fill out some minor paperwork which didn’t take too long at all. Dr.Karina was nice and explained everything to me regarding my questions that I had and the dentist assistant was helpful as well. The overall office smelled good and didn’t smell like medicine if that makes sense like some doctor offices do; but it was also very clean and organized. I would most likely recommend a family member/ friend to see Dr. Karina as their dentist.”

My visit was great. Dr. Karina is very gentle and patient. I usually ask for breaks to close my mouth a little bit, but it was not necessary to ask. She made my appointment go easier on me, She asked frequently if I was ok. I really recommend Dr. Karina.

This clinic has the best dentist, Dr. Karina. My wife and I visited this clinic, and Dr. Karina conducted a thorough diagnosis, identified the issues, and we are now in the process of treating my teeth. My wife also received the best cleaning ever.
The clinic is very clean and sterile. The staff is kind and attentive. They even have a great reminder system for appointments and more.
We highly recommend this clinic, especially Dr. Karina ??

Dr. Karina is truly the best, she takes her time, works with great care and attention, and never rushes — which made me feel completely at ease! I had the most thorough and gentle hygienic cleaning here. The assistants were professional and attentive, and the ladies at the front desk were incredibly kind and welcoming. The whole experience was smooth and pleasant.
