“I would recommend Dr. Pillai to everyone. She was wonderful, and so was the entire staff. I was nervous since I have not been to the dentist in a very long time ( I'm talking years). They made me feel at ease and no one made me feel bad for not having been to the dentist in a long time. They addressed all of my issues, and I am in the process of getting back on track with my dental health. I will be going to her from now on, and keeping up with my visits to ensure this never happens again. I'm just sad I waited so long and lived with the pain as long as I did before going to this office. ”

My visit with Dr. Lynna Pillai and her staff was a very pleasant dental experience. Her caring assistant was welcoming and made starting the dental visit a breeze with taking the x-rays and gathering the info/reasons. Dr. Lynna herself was very gentle yet thorough and was a breath of fresh air to see how genuinely interested she was in patient care.
My thanks to Dr. Lynna and her assistant for making my visit so pleasant and free of any anxiety or pain.

September 2, 2025SHAWN M.Verified patient
I’m an admittedly nervous dental patient, but I couldn’t have felt more comfortable here! All of the staff members were amazing and you can tell they’re passionate about what they do. The Dental Assistant Theresa was comforting and fun - the office is full of good vibes! - and Dr. Pillai was caring, educational and thorough. Dare I say I’m looking forward to returning for my follow-up appointment?

I had an incredibly positive experience at Dr. Pillai’s office and was truly impressed. From the moment I sat down, her assistant was so kind and made me feel completely at ease. Dr. Pillai herself was amazing—she took the time to explain everything clearly, and I really appreciated that she presented me with all available options without feeling any pressure. As someone who’s had some less-than-ideal dental experiences in the past, this was a refreshing change, and I’m grateful for the care and professionalism shown by everyone at the office. I am excited to continue visiting her and I highly recommend!

Dr. Lynna Pillai is the kind of dentist who makes you feel genuinely cared for from the moment you walk in. Her attention to detail, gentle approach, and ability to explain everything clearly made a typically nerve-wracking visit surprisingly comfortable. You can tell she truly loves what she does and it shows in her work.
