December 16, 2021Liz W.Verified patient
The Dr. saw other patients when she was seeing me, and left me sitting there for over 1/2 hour not knowing what was going on. She was a poor communicator and that's why I left.
January 12, 2021Barry S.Verified patient
Have been attended by 2 different dentists at this surgery, both were excellent, gentle and professional. I fear dentists but would readily attend either again.

Great dentist. Very kind. Very professional.
March 10, 2016Marcie C.Verified patient
Nihal took a long time for a straightforward appointment. Her assistant did not seem very experienced or gentle. I will not be returning.
More than 1 year agoLaura N.Verified patient
Another great visit at the dentist. Yes really a great visit. The doctor is very interested in giving her patients a great smile. Thanks
September 22, 2015Susan B.Verified patient
Very friendly, with excellent communication skills. Highly trustworthy! I particularly appreciate how she includes her process of decision-making in formulating recommendations in our discussion, and methodically reviewed the xrays.

Had my teeth cleaned a month ago by Dr. Nihal Backci. It was very well done and professional. Suggested I get my wisdom teeth taken out for better overall dental health. They worked with me on getting a time where I wouldn't miss work. They are great for people who work 9-5 like me, because they have later hours. Dr. Ozdemir Bicakci did the extraction on my wisdom teeth. He was very professional and did a great job on making me feel comfortable during a very stressful surgery. They even called me Monday morning to see how I was feeling. I would highly recommend them for your dental needs.
February 23, 2015Zachary H.Verified patient
Doctor Nihal Bicakci is very good and experienced. I was literally afraid and hated going to the dentist but that was before I met her. Once I started going to see doctor Nihal and her husband, they changed my bad apprehension about dentists and I'm no longer anxious when going to see the dentist. I have a healthier month and a beautiful smile now thanks to them. Last but not least the hygienist Stephanie is incredibly nice and always do a good job as well. I strongly recommend going there.

Dr. Bicakci was very thorough. She did a wonderful job explaining the dental procedure without being overly technical, her manner was very engaged and open. I highly recommend!

Dr. Bicakci was great and took care of me and they offered a few different treatment plans to find a way to pay for my care that worked for me and was covered by my insurance. Everyone at Lincoln Dental care was professional and friendly and very accomodating.
December 4, 2014Katie H.Verified patient
Upon my arrival which was minutes early than my appointment I was immediately greeted by name and seen. Professional bed side manners of dentist and assisting nurse put me at ease.

After we refused to do the full set X-ray as we already did it in Feb 2014. The doctor showed up and only examined me by looking into my mouth in seconds. She did not look into my husband mouth even. Then she said if you wanna be my patient we need to have an x-ray done . We asked about cleaning and she said no cleaning and that is it for consult visit you can come back for cleaning seriously ?? I felt we were treated as source of money not a patient at all. Thanks god we knew this before we go for anything in this service.
Btw we came in 10 min earlier than our appointment and we also filled all the papers online before we come. With all this we waited about 1 hour before someone came to us for the full X-ray .

Unsure yet. I had the original work done in San Antonio, TX and it was quoted to be a third of the price. I still need to figure out of this place is trying to fleece me or are more comprehensive.

Awesome.
June 25, 2014Richard A.Verified patient
New dentist for me. She was professional and carefully outlined how further work can be completed with an insurance breakdown giving me a good idea of out of pocket costs before things begin.

It was great! I was seen right away, and they explained everything that was going on while it was happening. They told me all the work i need done and why. The overall experience felt personal and comfortable...definitely my new primary dentist.

Dr. Nihal Bicakci is an excellent dentist. She explains the procedure in great details. I always felt comfortable in her chair.

I had implant placed. I had porcelain veneers top and bottom. I am very happy with my smile now. She is an excellent prosthodontist. I would not go to a general dentist for my porcelain veneers. She did a great job.
