1st Time visit for grandson. Very nice & helpful. Dr. Shanas took the time to discuss what treatment my grandson had & needed. Couldn't ask for a more helpful staff.
Verified patient
The service was fantastic! I came in for a cleaning it only took half hour from start to finish. No scary dentist unnecessary drilling or discomfort. The doctor noticed my jaw may have some alignment issues, but I’ll follow up about that!

Dr. Shanas and his office staff are warm and friendly. Dr. Shanas has a great "chair side" manner. He always has a joke or a story to tell that gets you laughing.

Visiting Dr. Mike is always a delight. You're greeted by name when you walk in the door, minimal wait time, and state of the art equipment. The perfect dentist!
Verified patient
Dr. Shanas was so kind to my girlfriend, who suffers from a severe fear of the dentist. He and his team were incredibly understanding and accommodating to her anxiety and she was able to finish all her dental work with them! Thanks again!
Verified patient
Everything from check-in to check-out was great. Dr. Shanas, Harriet, his wife/office manager, and the dental assistant (Chantelle, I think?) were so welcoming and friendly. Dr. Shanas made sure I was comfortable and well-informed. No one looks forward to going to the dentist, but an office like this makes it less of a pain.
Verified patient
They are so nice and I had a great experience today! They also provided many useful information for me in addition to the scheduled dental cleaning!!! Highly recommended!
Very pleased
Verified patient
I really enjoyed my Dentist Appointment with Dr. Shanas and his staff. Everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. Usually people dread or fear going to the dentist, however, I can't wait for my next visit. I laughed the entire time I was there. If you are looking for a great dentist, call Dr. Shanas.
Verified patient
My appointment was actually scheduled to accommodate three (myself, husband, son). We started right away. The staff was very friendly and professional. Our comfort was their goal. The service was professional and thorough. I love all of our results! We've found our family dentist!
Verified patient
my visit was heart warming and friendly. I enjoyed the whole staff starting with Harriett at the reception. Dr. Shanas was very friendly and as was his assistant, which I didn't get her name but she was great! I would highly recommend Dr. Shanas. This first experience was a winner! Dr. Shanas has great conversation and great punch lines and one-liners! Get ready to laugh, enjoy the professionalism too. Dr. Shanas gave me a thorough exam and went over my options and he was very respectful. Again, thank you Harriet for checking on me after my visit. Thank you Dr. Shanas and his assistant. I will be coming regularly!
Verified patient
Very friendly, efficient, and complimentary. Made the normally nerve-wracking experience if going to the dentist quite pleasant!
I was not treated, I set an appointment for a tooth extraction and only had a consultation. That was a waste of my time and I took off of work for nothing.
Verified patient
This was my first visit to Dr. Shanas and it was kind of an emergency because I had a tooth that was hurting. It was a very good experience and that is saying a lot because I had to have an old filling replaced.....shots to numb, grinding out the old filling... all the stuff that makes going to the dentist scary. Dr Shanas has a great bedside manner. He explained exactly what he would do, told me when I'd feel pressure etc. so there were no surprises and it was completely painless!!!!
Verified patient
Dr. Shanas is an excellent dentist. Very thorough and skilled in making sure the job is done right the first time. I've gone back for a follow up and even had a crown done. Spent a lot of time getting a good mold and making sure there were no gaps for food to get caught in. Very satisfied, very recommended. You also might even get a lesson in history or linguistics while you are there!
I liked him very much and his staff was very friendly. However, I was expecting to get my teeth professionally cleaned. I did not receive that. He did x-rays and told me I had no cavities, which is good news of course, but I did not receive any treatment or cleaning.
Verified patient
Short, straight forward, friendly
Verified patient
Super dental stop. Shanas is a super-affable dude! And the hygienist- I'm tellin ya if she was 5 foot she was six foot- but damn if she don't know teeth! These folk have a work history together and it shows.
Verified patient
I think he's very professional at what he do
Verified patient
Dr Shanas is a wonderful person! He has a quirky sense of humor and will keep you giggling why he attends to your dental need. I'm sure he uses it as a distraction (who really likes to go to the dentis)t!?! He will now be my dentist of choice. Harriett, who works the front desk is just as delightful and attentive to every patient who walks in the front door.
Verified patient
Very nice and very quick!
