“Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Sofia and her practice. I was able to get a same-day appointment, which was incredibly convenient. As a first-time patient, I felt very welcomed and well taken care of from the moment I arrived.
The clean office was one of the main reasons I booked, based on other reviews, and it definitely did not disappoint. The space looks brand new and is extremely well maintained.
Dr. Sofia was very informative, and the receptionist and dental assistant were both warm, friendly, and helpful. The entire team made the experience comfortable and pleasant. I’ll definitely be back and would absolutely recommend this office to others.”

My initial visit today was for a difficult extraction due to a broken tooth. Dr. Kavakoglou was absolutely fantastic. I felt no pain. Dr. Kavakoglou is very kind and caring. I am so extremely terrified of dentists and her calm demeanor helped me. As well, Mia her Dental Assistant was very kind, calming and excellent in her work. A shout out too for Alexandra at the Front Desk who was very helpful and kind. I highly recommend this dental practice. Fantastic doctor, fantastic staff, clean office, clean bathroom, no noisy televisions to stress you out while getting your teeth worked on, nice peaceful music playing in the background. Awesome!
