    Check-in was very easy. The receptionist was anticipating me and greeted me with my name when I stepped into the clinic. Detailed cleaning service. Dr. Safar explained my conditions, what she was about to do, and reviewed my x-ray imaging in great detail. I have a much better understanding of my dental condition and felt involved in my own care. All staff were extremely friendly. The receptionist/insurance administrator even provided me information and recommendation about how to use my remaining dental insurance benefits (because I needed referral to dental subspecialist for other procedures). One of my best dental appointment experience (and I've had to MANY dentists in the past due to moving and my condition).

    She is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. Nothing but glowing reviews of her work and the front desk staff. Amazing experience from start to finish. They are so professional but also kind and understanding. Great group for patients with dental anxiety.

    I got to interact with Sam, Anna, and Dr. Safar for my first visit. Everyone was so kind and welcoming! The staff was very knowledgeable and explained everything very clearly and gave more insight and detail than previous dentists I’ve had during the evaluation. Gentle and careful during the cleaning as well, no pain! Looking forward to my next visit here

    I found Dr. Lori Sofar using the Opencare app after filtering for a location close to my home and in my network. After skipping the dentist for far too long, I was nervous about the condition the dentist would find my teeth in. Luckily Dr Sofar made me feel comfortable and clearly communicated with every procedure she did and why. Lastly, she was very knowledgeable and made helpful suggestions for how to improve the health of my teeth. I will definitely be visiting again :)

    Explains every move she would need to take as a doctor in detail to make the patient comfortable! Experience and patience are two qualities are liked about her. The clinic is clean and staff is friendly.

    I really enjoyed my experience in the office with Dr Safar! Office staff was friendly and I didn’t feel pressured to have any unnecessary procedures done. I had Mel for my cleaning and I thought she did a good job of explaining what I could do better without making me feel bad about my shortcomings!

    I really can’t say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Safar and her office. She was kind, knowledgeable, gentle, and made me feel comfortable with my unique case. Also, they didn’t try to sell me a single thing, which I can’t tell you how refreshing that is nowadays. Excellent practice!
