Reviewed on March 12th, 2020 • Verified patientMy initial exam was with Dr. Patricia Khamis-Silva and she was so compassionate and understanding and her assistant Jessica was the same. I returned a few days later for my cleaning and had Martha as my hygienist and she was amazing. Good stories to share and fabulous at educating. I would highly recommend By The Lake Dental to all.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[103820].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on October 18th, 2018 • Verified patientAll the staff were very pleasant and professional. When I mentioned preferring natural methods I wasn't shut down, like I am sometimes with other dentists, but she listened and gave her input on the different options. The office does take a lot of x-rays and offers many high tech options. I also like that the dentists rotate taking a Saturday each month.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[63670].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on October 14th, 2018 • Verified patientIt has been quite some time since I’ve visited a dentist. Overall, I’ve just had bad experiences throughout the years. I was looking for a dentist, and came across Dr. Andrea Tagliaferro’s practice. I decided to give it a go, and immediately I was at ease. The office itself is gorgeous, and my experience with all staff was great, everyone was warm and seemed to genuinely enjoy their time there. I am excited to have finally found my dentist, only a few minutes away from home.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[63449].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

Reviewed on September 7th, 2018 • Verified patientI have only had a consultation with Andrea, but I can speak to a few things: 1. The clinic has a really inviting atmosphere, everyone was social and comfortable. 2. The equipment they used to take xrays and other images was really high-tech and cool, and they were always super transparent about how everything worked. 3. When I had issues with my insurance company, the receptionist handled all of it with patience and kindness. 4. Andrea was incredibly thorough when she sat down with me after, really talking to me about my dental health in a way that no other dentist has. I feel like I really actually understand everything that is happening, and like I wasn't just being rushed around. I really can't overstate how much better I feel about her than I have any of my previous dentists. She was thoughtful in her answers to my questions. 5. Every level of the experience made me feel like I was in control, was being respected, and was understood. HIGHLY recommend.This review is the subjective opinion of a patient and not of Opencare.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[61879].errors[0] }}0 found this review helpful

An excellent clinic overall
