I would not recommend you this location as your dentist office. I had very bed experience the doctor did filling on a... healthy tooth, I am very disappointed. There is no point to complain to manager since he can not return me my tooth, the woman did filling and showed me how she is done greatly, she shaped front tooth so terrible and expected me to be happy with it instead with my healthy tooth, she did opposite side of tooth, under anesthesia I could not feel which side she is doing, now I have two fillings in tooth instead of one, she did not have time to do probably the right side as I let them know that I would like to do x-ray to be 100 % sure, that the tooth has cavity. I took pictures at home and they took x-rya before she did filling, they can easily see what happened.read more

Dr. Ghergari is wonderful. She takes the time to talk to her patients, she is thorough, and I always felt my comfort... was important to her. Her freezing technique was gentle and caring, I barely felt a thing! I could tell from my very first conversation with her that she is passionate about what she does. As a dental hygienist myself (working elsewhere), I can honestly say this level of patient care is hard to find in the world of dentistry. I would recommend this office to anyone.read more

The best experience at the dentist I've had . I hate having work done on my teeth and the hygienists and dentists at... this location give me the least amount of discomfort compared to other places I've been to. My whole family including my young daughters go there routinely and they always try their best to make the experience as pleasant and easy as possible. The dentists are very professional and make referrals in a timely manner with other dental professionals to make sure our teeth are well taken care of.read more

I initially gave this place a four star review despite a bad experience with the male hygienist.Dr Sayyad has always... been amazing when myself and my kids go so my review reflected the amazing staff and care while also being honest about the not so perfect appointment my son had recently.The owner became very confrontational about my review. She called to speak about my four star review, not to get to the bottom of what happened but why the four stars.The matter had been dealt with but I guess she still wasn’t satisfied because the week later while bringing my son in for his filling she questioned my four star review again. I was rather annoyed, my son was extremely nervous and crying, this didn’t seem like an appropriate time to get into this yet again but she didn’t mind. While still signing the procedure paper the owner again asked why four stars. I simply said I wasn’t discussing this in front of my son and she quickly left.I will not be returning.I feel the owner was too concerned about her perfect reviews rather than the concerns of the patients.read more

This was my first visit and it was because of a broken tooth. My current dentist could not see me. The staff at Lackner... Woods was incredibly comforting and patient! I never felt rushed and they took the time to thoroughly explain the process and answer all my questions. I was so happy with the office and the staff that I signed the papers to have all my files transferred to Lackner Woods as a new patient. Don’t hesitate to contact them it was the best experience I could have had with a broken tooth.read more

I was a little anxious to go to the dentist during a pandemic but my hygienist was so friendly and knowledgeable that I... didn’t even think about it once I was there! She was very thorough with my teeth and super kind. The dentist also fixed a chip on my tooth that I thought I’d just have to live with. He’s a perfectionist and I greatly appreciate it, my tooth looks amazing now and I’m so happy. Highly highly recommend.read more

The best experience was before when Dr Stevens was there. The files that were sent over by our previous dentist weren’t... reviewed and my son had a spacer in his mouth way longer than he needed to be. There were a few other things that were missed as well. They messed up my insurance many times. Even when I told them twice what was covered they booked us in for cleanings and other work and ended up having to pay out of pocket. Lots of claims are put in like two months after our appointments. They couldn’t seem to get their insurance program to work and we’re submitting the claim under a completely different insurance company. I think they have potential and obviously hit the mark with some of their other clients. But for us the experience was not that great.This review is based solely on my opinion and perspective of events.read more
