The hygienists don't talk down to you like I've experienced in other offices-- I really appreciate that. I'm adult, after all, and I should be treated that way. Dr. O'Keefe is amazing. Again, I have never had a dentist look at my whole health-- mental and physical-- along with my dental health and really care about how aspects of health affect each other. She also spoke to me at a level appropriate to me, but I've heard her speak to other patients and she spoke to them at their level as well (layman's terms, etc.). I think I've finally found a dental office that I actually feel comfortable going to.

I've been a patient of this practice since 2013. I absolutely love the doctors, hygienists, and…read morestaff members there. Everyone is committed to making sure your teeth are going to be as healthy as possible, that there will not, I repeat NOT, be any pain or discomfort associated with ANY procedure*. I see Dr. Anna O'Keefe, who is always cheerful, delightful and has a marvelous sense of humor. There have been times I've come in with an emergency, and they've squished me in the same day. The fees are very reasonable and they accept a variety of insurance plans. Theirs is an incredibly modern and up-to-date office with the latest in all things dental - of course there are the digital x-rays including the panoramic films, and this amazing "instant tooth creation" lab thing that is in-house - I am doing a very poor job of explaining it. What took days and days in the past now takes about 30 minutes. The feature I like the most and get the most out of is the treatment plan. Both on a piece of paper, and on their computer screen (so the actual tooth's images can be viewed) you can see precisely what's going on with your teeth. Dr. O'Keefe identified what the triage, or urgency factors were in "fixing up" my oral health. Additionally, she tied it to a financial plan, so I could budget out what each stage of the treatment would cost. And EVERYTHING is explained in simple to understand language. As a former "abuser" of drinking soda pop, (24/7!), I only received positive encouragement from Dr. O'Keefe to discontinue drinking sugary drinks. (It was literally ravaging and destroying my teeth.) Instead of shaming me or trying to make me feel guilty, she simply encouraged me, gave me suggestions for healthy alternatives and offered support. Now I can still have an occasional soda pop, but I know "how" to drink it, and it's only once in a while. *I have the most incredibly sensitive teeth. Typically when moving to a new town, getting a new dentist and explaining please give me extra numbing medicine, I'm discounted as simply being a fraidy-cat. Then I get under-medicated and I scream with pain. Dr. O'Keefe carefully LISTENED to me, and acted upon what I told her, and from the git-go, administered the correct amount of pain medicine to prevent any discomfort, but not so much that my mouth was a numb, drooling mess for 12 hours. Additionally - this is the REALLY good part - even the hygienists can numb you up for your cleaning! For over 40 years, I've just endured the horrible pain of getting my teeth cleaned. Well, pain no more! Here they are more than happy to provide topical numbing agents for your teeth cleaning. What a wonderful difference! So: 1.) No, I am not related to anyone who works at this dental practice. 2.) No, I am not an employee at this place. 3.) No, I am not getting any form of compensation for writing this review. 4.) The only reason I am writing this is because good, honest, hard-working professionals deserve good reviews. It's kind of like 'passing it forward.' A social, moral obligation we have towards one another. :-)

While the office staff and Dr. Khan were always wonderful, kind, and personable, my interactions with Dr. Imam were the exact opposite. I found him to be rushed, dismissive, and unwilling to listen to my concerns or answer my questions. When I questioned if a painful tooth just needed time for the nerve to calm down--which turned out to be correct, as the pain fully resolved--he dismissed me entirely and insisted it must be pulled.To make matters worse, I received a formal letter abruptly dropping me as a patient with zero notice, canceling a critical 3-month cleaning appointment just days before it was scheduled. Dropping a patient this way instead of having a respectful conversation is incredibly unprofessional. I am glad to take my business elsewhere to a dentist who actually cares about patients.
