When it comes to Dentist, I'm pretty picky. I've had a few terrible experiences in the past with a couple Dental businesses, but the moment I walked in Apollonia, I was sold. From the friendly front desk employees, to the dental assistants, they were very polite and welcoming. Then I met Dr. Rafik. All I can say is, I've found my dentist! I felt comfortable and like I've been a patient there for years. The service was quick and painless. I went in for a crown mold, and they were able to take me in ASAP and not only make a temp mold, but extract and install the temp. I was impress. Thank you all, for the excellent service. You'll all be my Dental group from now on.

My experience was great overall except when the doctor-dentist looked in my mouth he began telling me what was wrong and I felt and witnessed this foul smelling order from his breath while my mouth was wide open as he spoke to me, this was a very foul bad smell order. I would recommend the dentist-doctor seek a dentist for himself. And I do mean this is a very kind mannerism the doctor himself seemed very polite. But good hygiene should be necessary and mandatory for a dentist that's viewing others teeth and peaking to them directly in their face.

I was the most comfortable that one can be while getting my crowns on. Dr Marvezi, along with Elvira and Iris made me feel comfortable, constantly checking up on me. They work fast and know what they're doing!
