I have been seeing Dr. Maya for years, as have my children since the moment they sprouted teeth. She is professional and friendly and my kids aren't afraid of her (and that's saying a LOT for a dentist.) She is always available for our ridiculous tooth emergencies. The one thing I love about her...she is reluctant to perform/recommend procedures that aren't necessary when I know for a FACT other dentists would jump at the chance to remove this tooth or that. To me, that means she cares more for the customer than the money.

I wish i could leave 10 stars here!!!! Before starting to come to Dr maya i priced around different dentists and by far they were the best pricing for the procedures i needed to get done, On the day of my procedure i came in to their nice office very modern. the staff was so friendly my appointment was for 12:00 pm By 12:05 pm i was in the dentist chair which was great. Dr maya made the procedure so seem less and with almost no pain! (Hands of gold) after my procedure The staff contacted me the following day to check on how i was feeling, which i thought was such a nice personal touch Would definitely recommend them to anyone who needs dental work.

Go there if you want to be disrespected and belittled. I never met a doctor who was so unprofessional, I was genuinely surprised. I was in pain and referenced my previous treatment experience during the appointment, which apparently offended the doctor and she game me a speech how I should seek a second opinion if I do not trust her. She also game me 3 injections to numb the pain, which did not work, and then told me that I was too tense and nervous so she could not do her job. She wanted to give me 4th injection but said she was afraid to tell me because I was already tense. So basically, we have here an incompetent doctor who was uncomfortable and could not reassure a patient who was nervous. So instead of comforting the patient, she got defensive and attacked me saying that I am the one who is not comfortable with her. I left the office in tears. What a shame.
