Went in for a triple wisdom tooth extraction as someone with a serious dental phobia. It was an emergency situation- I came in as a new patient and they scheduled me for the day after I called, which was already impressive. I cannot say enough about the bedside manner of the staff and Dr. Kumar and their ability to put me at ease and make lemonade out of a very stressful situation. Aside from the actual tooth-oriented stuff, a lot of fear surrounding dental work can really boil down to a fear of not feeling safe- the staff and Dr. Kumar went absolutely above and beyond during my procedure to quell any of that fear that I had, making me feel fully safe, comfortable, and cared for as if I was in the presence of good friends. If you're super anxious like me and looking for a compassionate and capable team you can trust, look no further than the absolutely delightful team at Drew Dental.

Not happy. Probably going to change. Pushing too hard on periodontal for me. Wanting to do x-rays before my insurance will pay.

My crown broke, exposing my tooth, and my regular dentist had not availability so I called Drew Dental Group (by the recommendation of family members who are patients there) first thing the next morning. I got in an hour later for an appt. and Dr. Kumar had me return that afternoon to have my crown removed and tooth prepped for a new crown. Dr. Kumar did a great job and was kind and gentle. The assistants were very friendly and made the entire experience comfortable. A few days later I called the office because I had chipped my temporary due to heavy grinding, and they fit me in that afternoon with Dr. John that afternoon. He was also very kind and gentle. The front office staff were friendly and organized. I am switching over to this office, although they don't take my insurance because of the great experience I had.

My Son had a very good experience getting his teeth cleaned. He has braces and had been delayed with another dental office not to be mentioned (ASPEN DENTAL WATERFORD!). It was great Drew Dental was able to get him in almost immediately. Only nick in the armor was they did the Floride treatment without getting approval from my wife. Son also stated they didn't ask him, just told him they would be doing a Floride Treatment. They should ask before adding optional treatments to the plan and getting parental (Person paying the bills) approval

Dr. Yuvika Raj Kumar and the dental assistants did a fantastic job with my Mom on her first visit. The front office staff was very organized in setting up her initial visit and transferring records over. Everyone was very professional and personable. We look forward to the next follow up.
