    Everyone at the practice was very nice and made I sure I understood what was going on every step of the way. The hygienist did a very thorough cleaning of my teeth and ensured I was comfortable throughout the process. The office was very clean and I would definitely recommend NK dental to friends!

    Dr. Khan was very nice and accommodating. I did feel as if my hygienist was a bit judgemental but i had a great experience besides that. Office staff was amazing!

    Reverse experience compared to other dentist visits. Started with the dentist checkup, followed by brushing, then cleaning. No goodies given at the end, but I suppose those often go to waste anyway.

    I went in for a cleaning and I inquired about wisdom teeth extraction, expecting to get a referral to an oral surgeon. They were able to do the extraction the very next day in the same office, a short walk from my home. Very pleased with the results of both my cleaning and the extraction.

    I hadn't had a checkup In n 2 years and didn't feel shamed for it. I had all my necessary work pointed out to me and physically shown, unlike some other dentist I had been to.

    The space was great - very relaxing which is important for people (like me) who have anxiety around dentistry. Dr. Khan and staff were fantastic. We accomplished a lot more than I had anticipated. I really appreciated their candor and flexibility with my care strategy. In addition to all the great professional stuff, I found everybody there to be very personable - we laughed a lot.

    Everyone is so kinda at this office! I, like everyone else, hate the dental process but they are so laid back and constantly checked in with me to see how I was doing, it was great. They explained every procedure, never spoke down to me, and were so gentle. Dentaphobes, this is the place for us.

    The office is small but nice, with modern decor, and the check-in/registration process is done on iPads, taking about ~ten minutes. After I filled out the online forms, I was taken back for x-Rays before my cleaning. The $195 new patient special includes x-Rays, cleaning and exam but not a flouride treatment. The cleaning took longer than expected, about an hour, but was done very well. The hygienist answered my questions and made my teeth look amazing. A separate person came before the dentist to take photos of my teeth, and then the dentist (a man, not Nilofer Khan I don't think) visited and was very friendly and encouraging. A good experience!

    As soon as I walked in, I loved this place! The receptionists were incredibly kind and soothing, and it made me feel so much better about going in after awhile. I had to get a chipped tooth fixed and wasn't sure about the cost, and they literally broke everything down for me to show me the price and what I would pay before I did it, so I could either plan ahead or do it that day! I ended up doing it that day because it was so affordable, and they will also work with you for payment plans. Highly recommend!

    Dr. Khan and the staff were very friendly and straightforward, and the office had an inviting atmosphere. They explained everything as they were doing it and paid close attention to possible pain or discomfort during the cleaning and check-up. There was none of the awkward small talk typically associated with dentists--everything was kind and professional!

    I felt very welcome and comfortable. They accommodated our late arrival due to inclement weather which really showed their understanding and desire to make everything work to the best of their ability. The dentist explained everything very well and went over her thoughts using images. The cleaning was well done and caused less discomfort than I expected. I would highly recommend this location

    From the Front-desk staff -- very knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful...she even got up to open the door for me, I had a hand full :) The Dental Assistant was very nice, respectful, careful (with xray) and cheerful. The Hygienist - ask good question what's bothers me during cleaning...she was very thorough in cleaning my mouth/teeth, very nice and respectful. Dr. Khan - She asked good questions, review in details, explained the xray result and the physical condition of my teeth, bite, etc. She was amazing! no wonder she has a great team!

    Great office. Their default on the TV is The Office. Staff are friendly and didn't lecture me or shame me for being WELL overdue for an appointment - and this might have been my best dental experience ever. They also went over my x-rays with me on the TV and it was a really good experience that left me knowing more about my oral health and informed about my options for dental care. As a side note, I'm trans. Staff were excellent about not deadnaming me and misgendering me- this is huge when a provider and their staff make a point to respect names and pronouns to earn our trust. Trans or not, expect to be respected and treated with care at NK Dental.
