I have been a patient of Dr Kaz for over 15 years and He and his staff are great . He spends the time to talk with you about your concerns and discuss them in a manner in which you can understand your options clearly. He will see you ASAP for an emergency and has the technology to get things done efficiently. My whole family are now patients. I highly recommend him.

I've always hated dentist, avoided going and never really had one in my adult life. couple days ago, I broke a tooth that had an old filling in it from childhood. this tooth was in bad shape. No putting this issue off. I found Dr. Kaz and team on google. I based my decision on the google reviews. I made appointment and they got me in next day to review the tooth. Dr Kaz was strait forward, down to earth, and as seasoned and knowledgeable as you can get at his profession. he told me the plan- and had me in two days later at 7am. the plan was to take tooth down and install new crown/completely new tooth. in 2 to 3 hours! I arrived at 7am. Dr and team started right away. he uses a vibrating needle for numbing that literally doesn't hurt at all- amazing. my tooth was scanned for reproduction with a camera device. he prepped my old tooth down to an acceptable base. my new tooth was being made in another room. while I waited, I had a deep cleaning by the hygienist Darlene on all my teeth. super nice, very experienced, and fantastic job- taking her time to do it right. once deep cleaning was done (no pain), my new crown tooth was complete and ready for install. tooth was attached, my bite checked for perfection, and I was on my way. amazing, no pain, perfect work, all done in three hours. I'm not ever going to avoid the dentist ever again as long as Dr Kaz and team are in business. I'm going back to get some polishing done, and check and fix a few more minor issues. I'm going to have up to date, clean, healthy teeth! and I'm literally looking forward to it!!

I am TERRIFIED of the dentist. I used to go to another practice in Pike Creek and did not have a good experience so I have been hesitant to go back. However, I broke a tooth and Dr Kaz was able to see me ASAP! I was VERY nervous going but as soon as I entered, everyone was wonderful. They were able to fix my tooth AND able to fix the gap in between my front teeth that I am very self conscious about. I almost cried I was so happy! Everything was completely pain free and Dr Kaz and staff were AMAZING! It has completely changed my view of dental visits. If you need a Dentist, GO to Dr Kaz- you will NOT be disappointed! Thank you for the awesome visit!

Dr Kaz and his team are the best! The office is immaculate and I never have to wait long, if at all. I've had both minor and major work done there, all my experiences were awesome. They don't try to push me into procedures I don't need which I love. Everyone is friendly and seems happy to work there.

I've been using this practice for years. Friendly staff, easy scheduling and on time appointments. Dr Kaz had a solution that eliminated the need for a crown and had me out the door in an hour.
