    Dr. Lina was so kind and supportive. I was very nervous going back to the dentist after a very long time. Dr. Lina did not judge me and made me feel safe. I had to do a general cleaning and take out my wisdom tooth and she made it so easy! Both appointments were very informative and I left feeling confident and comfortable.

    Very quick to reply with appointment times. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I hate the grittiness of teeth polish but the hygienist I had was very kind in frequently rinsing my mouth with water. I met Dr. Lina who was very kind and efficient.

    Dr. Lina is great! the sink is in a tight little corner making it hard to rinse the mouth and the x-ray process was uncomfortable but otherwise great care taken here.

    I was incredibly apprehensive about coming to the dentist, for nothing more than past experiences and my own anxiety. However, I am so thankful that I came to this office because the staff are great and because of them (specifically the hygienist Daniella who is incredibly awesome) I immediately felt comfortable and calm throughout the entire appointment. Dr. Lina is also really kind and knowledgeable and made me feel okay about finally getting back into the routine of proper oral care without any judgement that I hadn't been to a dentist in a while. 10/10 would recommend this team!

    My first appointment was xray and cleaning. I went in with a mistrust and forbia of the dentist and they handle it swimly. The assistant did a breathing exercise before we started and walked me through the process. Last dentist I had 4got over zealous when they saw my insurance and caused me to pay $130 out of pocket and that was just a consultation Dr Lina was transparent and explained what more I needed done and what the chargers are upfront and what will be sent to my insurance. Finally an Honest Dentist. My husband has already seen her as his new dentist and I have already made my next appointment. Highly recommended.

    Dr. Lina Elmassad was so nice and welcoming. I was terrified of the dentist, after not going for a very long time and she eased my worries quickly. She is very gentle and makes sure you are okay, and all of her co workers are really nice too! I’m so glad I went to her for my first dental trip in a long time.

    The clinic was a little difficult to find. The receptionist was called to obtain directions. She was helpful and professional. This was our first visit and the process was quick and on time. We had visited Dr. Elmassad for my mother-in-law who has dental anxiety and is very sensitive about her teeth. Dr. Elmassad took the time to address all our questions and was gentle with my mother-in-law. She understood our concerns and was cognizant of it throughout the examination. The assistant to the doctor was also professional and courteous. Both, the doctor and her assistant were accommodating and sensitive towards our cultural needs. The price of the service provided seems affordable. The receptionist took the time to explain the process of claim submission and provided additional help without request. Overall, the experience was very pleasant and would recommend the entire team to others.

    I visited her for my wisdom tooth extraction. The staff were very friendly. Dr. Lina made me feel welcomed and comfortable from the beginning. She was also very easy to talk to and I didn’t have to explain much. She took her time with the extraction and helped me remain calm. Overall, it was a good experience.
