AGVerified patient

I stopped by Dr. Elena’s new Midtown office and had such a great experience! The new location is so much more convenient, and even though they’re still adding a few finishing touches, it’s already looking beautiful. I can’t wait to see the final result. As always, Dr. Elena took her time explaining the treatment I needed and made sure I understood everything before moving forward. You never feel rushed, and she genuinely cares about her patients. Also…I have to give a shout-out to the floss she gave me. ?? It is seriously the best floss I’ve ever used! I never thought I’d rave about floss, but it’s that good. Honestly, they probably shouldn’t be giving it away for free! If you’re looking for a dentist who’s kind, thorough, and takes the time to make you feel comfortable, I highly recommend Dr. Elena.

ACVerified patient

5/5 Stars – Absolutely exceptional care! I have been a patient of Dr. Elena Johnston for about a decade and the treatment she has provided is truly above and beyond. She’s kept my teeth strong and healthy over the years, and did a great job with my Invisalign and chipped teeth. At every appointment I’ve had with her, she offers a high level of care and attention. Whether it’s a cavity fill or another procedure, she has a wonderful bedside manner and keeps it pain-free. She is also up-to-date on the latest dental technology and industry trends and knows all about new products and advanced techniques. She is a true professional, and I cannot recommend her and the team at Shine Dentistry highly enough!

DSVerified patient

I would definitely recommend Shine Dentistry to anyone looking for a trustworthy dentist in Midtown!
