Great experience!
September 3, 2024Nicholas S.Verified patient
Love Dr. Z! I have had a rough go with my teeth over the years and she has really helped me turn it around. She’s the rare dentist who doesn’t make me feel like a dummy for having teeth problems but also motivates me, kindly, to keep up with treatment. And I’ve never had a dental emergency that she didn’t handle as quickly as a human being could. Her staff is really lovely, and the office is very nice.
August 29, 2024Amanda M.Verified patient
Very organized and friendly office. As a first time patient, when I arrived at the office I was greeted by name, and the check in process was very quick. Dr. Alathari was both nice and informative, and she talked me through my options without pushing anything on me. Left with my teeth feeling clean!
August 11, 2023Virginia B.Verified patient
Wonderful dental office with outstanding dentist and staff that were friendly, knowledgeable and cooperative—willing to take the time to attend fully to every detail of my personal situation. I highly recommend and choose this office for my future dental work.
June 24, 2023Ellen J.Verified patient
I came to a new (to me) dentist because I was in a lot of pain and needed a sooner appointment, and she helped me quickly and professionally. Office was sharp looking and clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. I was seen right away and felt well taken care of.
January 2, 2023Amanda M.Verified patient
I liked that the employees were aware of the appointment I had booked and assisted me with that without selling other unnecessary services. The dentist was honest and knowledgeable.

I had a great experience. They made me feel assured and relaxed in a calm environment. I also never felt pressured to buy anything or pursue any procedure. Everyone answered my questions patiently and listened to my concerns. Most of all, I didn’t feel stressed at all.
September 28, 2022Julie S.Verified patient
Dr. Alathari took the time to patiently answer all of my questions. I definitely will be returing to her for my future treatments. She and her staff provided me excellent, professional service.

My visit was fantastic!
October 8, 2021Davina A.Verified patient
I am someone who in the past has not enjoyed going to the dentist. My jaw would usually be sore for days after. Zina was absolutely amazing though! She was super gentle and super friendly. The only thing I didn't care for was her assistant pushing a teeth whitening treatment, now I understand that is part of their job and I'm just picky but I didn't really care for it (especially since you see whitening treatments all over their office walls and if I was curious about one I would just inquire) but besides that best experience at a dentist ever!

Dr Alathari was super kind and took the time to educate me on some choices I am able to make for my dentition. She is very knowledgeable and trustworthy. The kind staff is always a plus in my book, too.

If you’re looking for an extremely thorough teeth cleaning this is the place for you? They will leave no tooth unturned
it’s a remarkably comprehensive service, professional and friendly!
August 2, 2018Dominique F.Verified patient
The service was efficient and prompt. We came out feeling that you could just trust the dentist zina, and she wasn’t trying to upsell you on every possible item.
The practice was calm and well organized, we enjoyed our visit very much

Super nice. Super knowledgeable. Super caring.

March 31, 2017Jennifer D.Verified patient
The office staff was very friendly and welcoming. I did not have to wait a long time to be called into the examination room. The Dr. was very professional and answered all my questions. Her recommendations were very helpful. Will definitely make another appointment.
September 2, 2016Patricia M.Verified patient
Scheduled the appointment during the previous visit. Got reminders and when I showed up, the process was very smooth as I didn't have to wait long. Very good bedside manner by the doctor and staff. Recommended.
