Absolutely love Zuri Dentist! It was an amazing experience and all my questions were answered and everyone was so polite. Can’t wait to go back!
August 14, 2025Alexis P.Verified patient
First time with this dentist and it was by far already the best experience I've ever had , all staff was super friendly . You can tell they actually care and unlike everywhere else I've gone to over the years they show care for me the patient directly and specifically.
Most if not all other dental places I've been to for some reason they have always been mean to me or just rude etc and I'm not sure why but all I know is when your in pain and when you already have issues with your teeth (confidence) the last thing you want is for the dentist doing the work to treat you bad and have you leaving feeling like your less of a human so for these key factors I give this office 5 stars and I would do 10 stars if I could because I've never felt so comfortable in a place where I'm used to having the opposite feeling .
They will be doing all my work and if I can help it my family's work to for many years to come ??

I can't say enough good things about Dr. Rahima’s Maina and her team at Zuri Dental. From the moment I walked in, the experience was exceptional.
The receptionist handled everything so efficiently, getting me checked in and ready for my appointment in no time.
My dental assistant was so friendly and made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. The real highlight, though, was the dental hygienist. She was meticulous with my cleaning, paying close attention to every detail while also having a wonderfully calming presence that made the whole process feel effortless.
And of course, Dr. Rahimah Maina herself is outstanding. She is so kind and gentle, and she clearly cares about her patients' comfort and well-being. This is an incredible practice, and I'm so glad I found them.

Thank you for making my dental visit memorable and to helping me to overcome my dental anxiety. To tell you the truth my anxiety subsided when I entered the office. I was very impressed with the front desk service I received from Miss Nonnie (Thank you). She is very professional and has a beautiful demeanor!!
Ms Maria, thank you for being gentle, kind and caring.
Dr. Maina, I love how you explain all my options in gaining the healthy smile and confidence that I will have once all of the procedures are done. I am looking forward to my visit next week. Thank you to all of the staff for your warm smiles :0). Barbara

The provider never saw me because they were closed and forgot to update their zocdoc holiday schedule hours. It was one hour driving back and forth for nothing
December 23, 2024Aneta A.Verified patient
Dr. Maina and Desiree are very professional and friendly. Easily approachable regarding the dentistry as well as good conversationalists. Desiree did a good job teaching me in addition to polishing my teeth. Dr. Maina carefully reviewed my X-rays and explained them to me after cleaning my teeth.
December 2, 2024Fatimah B.Verified patient
My appointment with Zuri Dental was great from beginning to end. The reservation was on the day and time that I wanted. From the moment I walked in the office everyone was professional, kind and helpful. Melissa and Victoria at the front desk did a great job of making the check in process as easy as possible. This is usually a patient’s first contact with the practice, so a lot of first impressions are made here. In this case, all of the impressions were positive. They passed me off the Tony who, I believe was my dental hygienist. He was so attentive that I almost gave him a monetary tip. Tony was patient and answered every question I had. Lastly, Dr. Maina introduced herself and was as caring and professional as I expected. She gave me her assessment of my x-rays and made suggestions on my care moving forward. My visit could not have been better. Thank you to everyone.
FYI - The link that I received from Zocdoc is faulty, it says the right address but links to a different address.

November 14, 2024James B.Verified patient
Zuri Dental is not only very professional and aesthetically pleasing, it also was extremely family friendly! Dr. Maina is a wonderful dentist who made my babies feel safe and comfortable for their first ever dental visit. Not only that they got to pick out cool toys at the end of their visit! Overall it was an awesome experience everyone should book her!
November 7, 2024Samone K.Verified patient
It’s always a level of anxiety when going to a new doctor; not to mention dentist! I switch to Zuri after discovering my long time doctor no longer accepted my insurance. I could not be more pleased with the switch and Dr. Maina is stellar. Highly recommend!
