I'd been visiting the same dentist for about five years. The pandemic was largely responsible for the reason we parted ways, then a change in dental insurance and a move made that permanent. Since then, I've been desperately searching for a dentist who was as friendly and nice and easygoing as my previous dentist but failing completely. I didn't like my last two dentists so much that I gave up for almost a year. The reviews for neighborhood dentists were so frightening that I decided to buy a pricy electric toothbrush and take my chances.
However, my new dental insurer (as of January 2026) put a dentist I'd never seen nor heard of as my default dentist. She's a little further away than I would have considered because of the distance. But I looked at her reviews and thought, "There are FAR too many five-star reviews for me to not at least give her a chance."
And all those five-star reviews are absolutely correct. Although this dental office is in a building I would've never found on my own because they're not allowed to have signage outside, the inside is bright, warm and professional. Although it's a little chilly in there, I accidentally came dressed for the weather. (Bring a hoodie.)
The dental assistant (Cynthia), the front-desk representative (Nedzma) and the dentist (Dr. Tamara Marjan) are all equally five stars. They are attentive, responsive, professional, friendly and very easy to work with. My comprehensive exam and cleaning were seamless. I didn't have to deal with ANY of the problems that I encountered with two other dentists. This dental office is careful about masks, sanitation, keeping sunglasses in stock so I'm not tearing up while looking at the lights and no one is trying to force me to spend a zillion dollars on cosmetic dental suggestions I never asked for nor need.
Everything about this visit was absolutely perfect, and I even left with a movie recommendation (based on my profession). Again, the only cons were figuring out how to find the dental office (Google Maps can't even find it) and needing a hoodie. Other than that, top notch. I have officially found a new dentist. Whoo hoo! read more
