I've been seeing Dr I for years and feel very fortunate to have found such a great dentist and dental staff. As a kid growing up in the late 50's dental care was painful and I hadn't forgot, sounds silly I know.
Dr. I uses the latest technology and is highly skilled in the art of dentistry. I needed a dental implant and while that was quite a crazy experience I am thankful for his skill and 2 yrs later it's still perfect. His staff.. so nice they even helped me with a major billing problem with my insurance. My husband, 2 sons and their wives go to him also. Thank you Dr. I and all the people that care for us
Let me tell you I am super anxious when it comes to dentist and doctors offices in general. This dental office made me feel very welcome from the moment I walked in, until the moment I walked out. I was greeted very quickly and politely. I was taken back so fast. The girl who took my x-rays was very nice and talkative. The dentist was thorough and compassionate. The lady that was helping me with my bill was the best! And on my way out even though the lady was super busy, she still managed to say bye to me and called me by my first name. If you are looking for a new dentist or a dentist at all I highly recommend them!!!
Go see Dr. Ignatowicz. If you are afraid of dentists PLEASE GO SEE HIM !!! He's very gentle a very pleasant spirit. The staff is just as great as he is. They make you feel very very comfortable and at ease. Thank you Dr. Ignatowicz & Staff I just had my first visit on 11/16/2018 you all made me feel like I have been coming to the office for years.
I would highly recommend this dental office! They are professional and friendly from the front office to the hygentist's and both dentist's. I also leave the office feeling like I am happy to have been given a recommendation to this office. It is not the closest dentist to where I live but I chose to drive out of my way because they are a professional office. Thank you Dr. Ignatowicz and staff.
Dr. Ignatowicz and his staff are amazing. They provide top notch patient care in a beautiful office! I can honestly say I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned every six months with Brittany. She is the reason for the five stars!
I have been going to Dr. I. for years. I was terrified of the dentist. I did not go for 10 years because of my fear. Then I met Dr. I and his staff. I now look forward to going to the dentist. THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST.
I was so grateful for Dr. Ignatowicz's approach as well as his staff. He put a lot of effort in making the office safe during the pandemic. I appreciated that he was so helpful in working with my anxious child and his staff was really encouraging and did not shame me when my child had a cavity.
