Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Friendly, Professional, Pain Free
I went in for a tooth extraction. The staff was very friendly and professional. I have a nerve that is sometimes hard to numb. Dr. Vakkas did it with no problem. I was told by the referring dentist that the tooth was in bad shape would probably splinter upon extraction. Dr. Vakkas removed it for me with zero pain and in one piece. He was great and his staff was too. I would definitely recommend Dr. Vakkas to anyone.

Writing this for two patients - my wife and my daughter. My wife had a tooth removed in early 2016 and my daughter had her four wisdom teeth removed May 2017. Dr. Vakkas did an excellent job with all five teeth. He also did an implant for my wife's tooth in December 2016. Well run office. Clear directions and excellent insurance processing system. The way an office should be run. He's very good and he takes insurance, unlike some top dentists. Good, fair pricing = good value. Highly recommend

I went in today for a wisdom tooth extraction. From booking to completion of the procedure, Dr Vakkas and his staff were outstanding. Excellent customer service from the top down. Full descriptions and details to include billing and procedure and after care of my affected area. I would highly recommend this office for any oral surgery needs. Two thumbs up.
