“I'm glad I found Dr. Sara Elashaal and her office! I had to wait a little bit as they were understaffed on my initial appointment but Dr. Elashaal took her time to explain what's going on with my teeth and the treatments needed. The office is clean and staff is professional and friendly. I went back this morning for a deep cleaning and was happy with the service. I have anxiety and sensitivity but they were gentle and explained each step as they go so I know what to expect and I greatly appreciated. ”

“It was a cleaning and checkup with a 2nd opinion on failed work of my previous dentist. The evaluation was deferred until a 2nd visit.”

I had a great experience with Dr. Sara. The dental assistant who cleaned my teeth did a wonderful job explaining everything to me, Dr. Sara was thorough in her examination, and she gave me a free Invisalign consultation. The best part was at the end, the receptionist broke down how much my insurance covered and what everything cost. I would definitely recommend this dentist office to everyone. ?

Exactly how you would want someone to care for you at an appointment- kind, punctual, easy going, clear communication about insurance and understanding of insurance which is rare with healthcare providers.

As soon as I walked through the front door, I was greeted. The staff member even said her name, which I'm bad at remembering, but she was pleasant. The dental hygienist was nice, pleasant, and made me feel comfortable. The doctor herself left me speechless. Everyone answered all my questions and concerns. They explained everything in detail. They even answered questions that I had already asked. Due to my short memory. This was the first dental experience i had, and I left feeling great. A wonderful experience. I will be back.

My visit at her office was amazing. The staff was welcoming and helped answer the million questions that I had. I also loved how clean the office was, and really felt safe having my teeth worked on. They also take my insurance and had verified my benefits in advance so there was no waiting. I was even offered same day treatment which was so convenient for my hectic schedule. Overall fantastic experience.
