I've been seeing Dr. Streko for over 10 years. Since then my family also became his patients. We have all been very pleased with his professionalism and service. Dr.Streko is caring and has been there for me when I have had emergencies and has made special considerations when I have needed to see him. I recommend Dr.Streko to anyone in need of a dentist that they can trust. He has a great staff (always nice) and Syliana the hygienist will leave your teeth feeling super clean!

Dr. Streko has been a saving grace! His staff members are extremely polite and immediately scheduled a consultation. Upon my first visit, Dr. Streko was caring and thorough to make sure he understood my situation completely. I finally have answers and relief that I have been searching for the past 3 years. I cannot say enough good things about him, his staff, and the office in general. The office space is very clean and they take extra precautions due to COVID-19. I have already recommended family and friends because he is truly the best of the best!

Dr. O'Connell was absolutely amazing and helped me tremendously. I came in for an emergency visit and she really put me at ease. She is extremely knowledgeable and very caring. She not only helped me feel better physically, but also mentally. She took her time with me, explained everything, and made sure I got some relief for an issue that is not easily corrected. I truly appreciate everything she did for me. Finding a good dentist is extremely hard and I will drive an hour to come back and see her. Truly cannot say enough good things about Dr. O'Connell.
