“Loved my experience! I gained so much knowledge from the Dentist, she was so sweet and helpful. She explained everything necessary to me and ensured me the reasons. Her staff was nothing short of AMAZING!!!! The entire office was filled with so much love and joy that you don’t often see anymore. They were so sweet and patient with my daughter. I have so much to work on so I’ll be seeing a lot of them!!”

I had such a wonderful experience with my cleaning. I have horrible anxiety when it comes to any dental work and they were so great at putting me at ease. All of the staff was friendly - including reception, my doctor was so knowledgeable and had great bedside manner. Would truly recommend anyone to this office!
May 24, 2024Yarelis M.Verified patient
The staff at the front desk were the worst part of my experience. The staff was using medical language and when I asked for layman’s terms, she couldn’t explain. After a while of asking questions that weren’t clearly answered, I left feeling spoken down to and unclear about my treatment plan. The actual doctor herself was kind but kind of short in her communication.

I have a very irrational fear of the Dentist. I have been since I got my braces removed over 8 years ago but Dr. Tolu and the staff made me feel so comfortable! I usually have major anxiety but they were so calm, relaxed, informative, detailed, and understanding I will definitely be back and definitely recommend!

The best dentist visit ever! Dr. Tolu was so professional, caring, and knowledgeable. You can tell she actually cares for her patients. She communicates clearly what your treatment options are and respects your thoughts and concerns. I am SO glad I found her! The desk ladies were awesome too.

It was quick, easy and very friendly.
July 23, 2020Tayone P.Verified patient
She has always been very professional, explains what she plans to do and what the pricing is ahead of treatment. Her staff is always very pleasant and proficient as well. The wait time is usually less than 15 min. Appointments are easy to make. I do think that they aught to post a notice or say so on their answering machine that they are not open on Mondays so people are aware.

I was in so much pain and had to have an emergency root canal - obviously I was super scared. But Dr Tolu was SO nice, and so was the entire staff! Pretty much pain free afterwards!! Highly recommend

Dr. Tolu is both highly skilled and very empathetic, which is what one hopes for in a dentist. Every thing that was in her power to make the filling of four cavities a less dismal experience was done. Her whole team was great. Highest recommendation.

Dr. Selen Tolu, DDS is very rare. She is very caring, professional, a great listener, she's non-judgemental and highly intellegent. Dr. Selen Tolu, DDS also has an uncanny ability to make one feel calm, trusting and at peace. Dr. Tolu is very soft spoken, very calm and explained the process from top to bottom throughout the entire procedure. I am one who doesnt particularlly appreciate dental visits and often experience extreme anxiety before a dental visit, but this experience was different and I am very suprised that I am saying this, but I enjoyed my dental visits! The staff is amazing! They always have a smile on their faces and are always willing and able to assist you! The team is very professional and knowledgable. The office is clean (coming from a germaphobe) was inviting and in a convenient location. I would highly recommend Dr. Selen Tolu DDS; she'll definately be my Doctor for a very long time!
