I usually don't write google reviews but I had to write about my best experience at the dentist!!! I am usually terrified of dentists but Dr. Zaidi made me feel so comfortable and explained everything to me thoroughly. He showed me my x-rays and actually took the time out to explain the problem and the procedure step-by- step before he operated. I knew exactly what to expect. I told the dentist I was scared of the needle and he said, "it would be weird if you liked it." He talked about all of my options and listened to my concerns. He said he can do the filling without any needle and it would just be uncomfortable for 5 minutes and I would not have to deal with the numbness later on. He gave me the gel and told me it was a very small filing and doing it without the needle was very much possible. I took his word for it and I am so happy!! It was just a pinch of pain and 5 minutes later it was gone! Now, an hour after the filing, I was completely back to normal and even forgot I had a filing :) This was the best dentist I have been to - hands down! Very nice staff and awesome clean office (where the dentist chair massages you lightly) - what a pleasant experience.. I would 100% recommend.

I had acute pain from a broken tooth and the earliest appointment I could get was 2 weeks later. Meanwhile the tooth got infected and I was in much pain, fever and swelling. I tried many emergency numbers and finally called this practice.'s emergency #, and I got connected to Dr Ruiz,. He heard me out and gave me an appointment 3 days down the line as it was Memorial day long weekend. Later in the day, the pain was too excruciating and I called him again and seeing my condition he gave me an appointment for the next day(i.e. Memorial day) 9 am. My husband and I reached the clinic by 8:50 am and he was already there. He didnt have any assistance, it being a holiday. He did all the paperwork, and the extraction of the tooth himself. I still marvel that some one would do all this for a stranger. He was the Good Samaritan in our lives and we will never forget. The clinic is very state-of-the-art and the doctor is highly skilled. He explained everything and before I knew it, he had extracted the molar.. We paid out of pocket and it being an emergency and a holiday we expected to be billed much higher than what he actually billed us. Once we change our insurance to a better one this October, we plan on going to this practice for all our dental needs and we cant stop talking about it to all our friends. God provided a life-saver when my family and I needed one.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. They were nice and dealt with my problem instead of telling me to come back. Goes above and beyond to take care of you and to get you in. I was very happy and so are my teeth.

This office fantastic and state of the art. Parking is a breeze. You can exercise taking the stairs up to the 2nd Level or take the elevator. They are very professional. From Faith in the front room, Dr. Ruiz in the middle rooms to Dawn in the back. The waiting room is comfortable with magazines and a TV. When I am going to get a cleaning and check I can't wait because if feels like a spa.The dental chair has a low level massage which I LOVE! If you get the timing right you can watch Ellen on the TV up on the ceiling. I have fallen asleep in that chair and woken myself up from my snore because of Dawn's gentle hand. My son tells me that he too has fallen asleep at the chair. Too quickly comes the time you have to leave (just like a spa). They give you a goody bag with your next appt, a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and lip balm. They know what they are doing.

Going to the dentist sucks, but Dr Zaidi (I think that was his name, the shorter guy) was great. He made me feel comfortable and relaxed. Will be recommending friends and family to come here.
