Great office
March 6, 2026Maricia R.Verified patient
I am experiencing a toothache and believe I have a wisdom tooth coming in, so I scheduled a 9:00 a.m. appointment to have it checked before leaving for a week-long work trip. After waiting for 20 minutes, I asked the receptionist if I would need to wait much longer. She stepped away to check, and upon returning, informed me that the doctor had not yet arrived and would be another 10 minutes. It is completely unacceptable that I was not informed earlier that the dentist was not present, nor that the office failed to notify patients of the delay. As a patient, I feel disrespected and that my time is not valued as equally as the dentist’s. A simple courtesy call or communication at check-in would have gone a long way.

I was very pleased with this dentist. She explained things to me, step by step for my teeth. Based on what I may need to have done and where and what teeth needed work.
She explained things about my teeth in a way I could understand, not in just dental vocabulary.
Overall I was happy with this dentist and her helpful staff.

They didn’t over book to have you wait in the waiting room for an hour like most places. The doctor listened to me explain the discomfort and clearly explained the options I had. Answered the questions I had. Definitely recommend!

My appointment was at 11:00 am, by 11:20 I was still in the waiting room. They walked me in an immediately did the anesthesia shot but left me sitting for another 25 minutes. At 11:45 I said I only had 2 hours for the whole visit. And that we ehere already 45 minutes late
While I was getting the job done, Dr Nikita kept going back an forth seeing other patients. She has two appointments booked per hour or she runs terribly late, which makes it impossible to get the proper attention
I specifically told her before hand that I needed a temporary filling on the root canal that could last at least 3 months since I was doing the crown back in my home country. At the end of the session she said the temporary filling was only going to last a month or so and that I should get it done with her
Everything felt very unprofessional and money oriented. Don’t think I will go back and really hope this thing lasts while I get it fixed
July 25, 2022Raquel B.Verified patient
this is the best dentist I ever been to she actually listened to me and told me what she was going to do to help me fix my smile again definitely will be going there
May 2, 2022Allan L.Verified patient
The Doc and office staff were excellent. Explained everything and helped with getting consent forms and advising me of out of pocket costs up front. Did not try and "sell" me other services (such as teeth whitening). I am going back.
