Which cases do you enjoy treating? Why?

    I was greeted warmly by all the staff that participated in my care. I get very nervous/anxious with dental work but they made me feel cared for and comfortable. Everyone was pleasant and I am happy to return and I am very thankful for the gentle but thorough care I received today. Special thanks to Angela and Dr. Tanzil!

    To say I'm nervous when it comes to seeing a dentist is an understatement. I've never had good experiences with dental work but Dr. Tanzil made me feel super comfortable and took really good care of me. She explains everything she's going to do and takes time to make sure I'm comfortable.

    Dr. Tanzil was incredibly patient and explained things in an understandable way without ever talking down (which some dentists have done in the past). The appointment was prompt, communication with the office was great and everyone there was professional.

    Dr Tanzil was great. Very professional and even took the time to follow up on a recommendation she promised she would send over after our appt. Unfortunately I moved away, but would highly recommend her as a regular dentist to anyone in the area.

    Dr. Tanzil and her team were so friendly and helpful, even down to giving me a blanket while I was getting my service because the office was cold. There was no wait time for me to get into my appointment, and very little delay between calling to schedule and getting an appointment to begin with. They explained everything they were doing to make sure I was comfortable. She described what was needed for follow-up services in detail and worked to schedule my service before I left to make it all seamless. I had such a great experience and would definitely recommend her and her team.

    The practice is very efficient. While waiting for my x ray results to come out, the hygienist went ahead with the dental cleaning so no time is wasted just idly waiting for the x ray results. After the cleaning, Dr. Tanzil came by and went over the x rays with me. She also tested to see where the sensitive spots are. Docked one star off because their equipment looks really old school and one of the x ray film tabs used to put in my mouth was dirty with glue residue on it.

    I needed an emergency root canal and after seeing the reviews about this office, I knew I had to come here. It took a lot of time getting me numb but the staff were very sympathetic and patient. I was able to set up my next appointments easily, and fully understood what work needs to be done for a healthier mouth. Everyone was so, so kind. Definitely my preferred dentist office!

    I arrived early and was able to start my appointment early which is nice compared to waiting. All the staff were very friendly from the receptionists to the dentists. I had trouble hearing the dental assistant as she spoke too softly to hear over the machines. At some points during the appointment I couldn't determine if the suggestions were for my benefit or as part of a sales pitch.

    When I had urgent need of a dentist, Dr. Tanzil personally replied to my OpenCare message on a Sunday, when her office was closed. She saw me first thing Monday morning, was very kind and thorough in explaining my dental issues to me, and followed up that evening with a text, asking how I was doing. I’m so glad I found Dr. Tanzil.
