I visited Dr Guadiz for a procedure that my primary dentist did not perform. However, he and the staff were very welcoming. Dr Guadiz is very professional, knowledgeable and caring. I was nervous about my procedure but he and the staff made me feel comfortable. Although I live in Northwest Indiana, I think I may likely make this my primary dentist!.

My experience was fantastic. His bedside manner was excellent. He explains everything he is doing. I’m scared of the dentist but not with him he’s very gentle. Painless, professional and friendly. I highly recommend seeing him. For once in my life I’m very relaxed going to the dentist. Will continue to go to him.

Thorough great service!
July 29, 2025Latrice B.Verified patient
Once again 3rd visit and I am very happy with this visit as well. Excellent Dentist would recommend him. Pain free, explains everything he’s doing and looking forward to my next appointment. I have never found a dentist I look forward to going to. I’m excited to get my teeth fixed now. If you are scared of the dentist this is the right dentist to go to. He makes your experience stress free.

Shamefully I have been a bad human and not prioritize my health. I was reluctant to get into the chair after such a long period of time elapsing since my last visit to the dentist. Dr. Mike was so kind, courteous, and trustworthy. He made me feel like I was part of the process not just another patient. I was well informed throughout my cleaning and all questions answered. Happy to feel like I found my new primary dentist.
July 14, 2025Mike Y.Verified patient
The best dentist I’ve been to. He is a good listener. Helps me feel relaxed. Explains what he’s doing. Painless!!! I didn’t feel a thing. I will continue to see him. I highly recommend. His assistant is also awesome. They are a great team.

He’s very knowledgeable and gives you upfront pricing and pricing breakdowns. I love that. He comes up with a great plan to care for your teeth. The best of all is there has been no surprised billing.

Very friendly staff. The Dr. was very informative and explained what needed to be done. Answered questions which were very few because he explained clearly so I understood everything. Very professional. Very gentle while doing checkup. I was very comfortable. Im usually uncomfortable and get anxiety at the dentist but I was calm. I will continue with this dentist.
