I would highly dissuade anyone from going here. Bedside manner is nonexistent and the doctor is rude and made me uncomfortable. Go anywhere else!

My appt was for 12pm. I got there at 11:45am. They didn’t have my insurance on file so they needed to contact to get it. I understand that takes some time and I needed to fill out paperwork. I was put into my room around 12:35. They did xrays. Twice the doctor came in to tell me to hang tight, they would start soon. Then I sat until about 1:40 and then was told I needed to switch rooms. Then waited another 10-15 mins to actually be seen. Based on how long I had to wait I would not go back.

Honestly, that was the most thorough dentist appt that I've ever had. I felt very well attended too and their attention to detail was impressive. Will absolutely return.

I’d highly recommend Dr. Paul Anast. He does an amazing work and respects his patients. He answers all the questions you may have and takes his time to explain every detail you might have a question about. Amazing dentist!

Dr. Anast was very friendly and informative about what he was going to do and what I needed done. He didn’t mind that I asked questions because I was unsure what the procedures were. I will definitely be coming back here and recommending them to friends and family. It was such a nice environment, friendly, and clean.

My boyfriend saw Dr Anast for 2 root canals & crowns, and will be returning for another root canal, 2 crowns, and multiple cavities. I love that the team gave us a run down of exactly what needed to be done, and a good plan of what was most important to get done immediately and what could be scheduled for the future. Dr. Anast was very kind and attentive, although his assistant nurse seemed pretty new (he had to redo some of her work and she had to take multiple (like.. 7-8) x-rays when only 2 were needed. They ended up working on him for around 6 hours and considering the circumstances it went very very well. So glad to find a good dentist in the city close to our apartment!

1st Dr. that did not push like it needed to be done today -- He took the time to discuss my dental car needs -- without Rushing.

I was very satisfied and comfortable with Dr. Paul, the proceger was over in no time and I was able to enjoy the rest of my day.

My appointment went very well. I haven't been to a dentist in a very long time and thus needed to have quite a few cavities taken care of. I thought Dr. Anast as well as all the other people I encountered were fantastic. They were very conscientious of my comfort as well as friendly. I was walked through my x-rays as well as pictures of my teeth showing the cavities and explained exactly what was going to be done. Before I chose to have the cavities filled I was walked through a price quote explaining how much I would pay for each cavity and how much my insurance would pay. This afforded me the option of choosing to walk away and find cheaper services or to have the cavities filled at different times. In the end I chose to have them all taken care of that day, but I appreciated all of the options being clearly presented to me. In the end, in spite of having a fair amount of uncomfortable work done, I was very comfortable and will be returning in 6 months for my next check up
