Great office!! The Dentist is so knowledgeable and doesn't do anything that isn't necessary. Debbie the hygienist is amazing she did my cleaning and it was like she was using a feather. I didn't feel a thing. The entire time she explained everything she was doing and why it needed to be checked. I had such a great experience!

I have been a very satisfied patient of Dr. James Lanham for over 25 years and counting. He is an honest, caring individual, as is all the rest of his support staff. My wife is also a long term patient as are our three grown children. I can also attest to the honesty of this office. Some time ago, two friends from church mentioned that they had each visited a new dentist office at the nearby mall that had just opened and was running new patient specials. One of them was told he needed 5 fillings and the other person was told he needed 4 fillings. I suggested to both of them that they visit Dr. Lanham and be absolutely sure they needed that type of work done for real. Long story short, they made an appointment and turns out neither one of them needed even a single filling. So this really drove home the honesty of this practice and they would not push procedures or whatever on people just to make a dollar. Lastly, the office has been nicely upgraded in the past few years and is completely modernized. Hats off to Dr. Lanham and his office staff as they do a remarkable job and my family wouldn't go anywhere else. Thanks!

Dr. Lanham's Office is second to none! I have visited this office for the past 20 years and have never experienced anything but exceptional service. I live in Orlando and choose to make the commute back to Lakeland to visit this office for all my dental needs. There is no other dental office within either city (Lakeland or Orlando) that offers the same top-notch quality and customer service that I receive here. The entire staff at Dr. Lanham's office makes you feel like you are part of their family. I recommend Dr. Lanham Family Dentistry to all my friends and family!

I've been with Dr. Lanham for 22 years, some of my fillings are that old which is unheard of. The entire staff is amazing from billing to patient care! If you are looking for a new dentist you have come to the right spot. Dr. Lanham does amazing work and he and his staff can always be counted on. Best teeth cleaning ever, ask for Debbie!

Dr. Lanham has been my dentist for over twenty years and after breaking a molar recently he is even more appreciated for working me in immediately and spending half the day prepping me for my next crown. Debbie cleans my teeth and she is the best of the best. I highly recommend.

2015 appt. Initially staff was friendly. Just came across this opportunity to review this dentist. Dirty and old equipment (have pics). Should have run out the second I saw that, but regrettably did not. Needed a cleaning and was as having wisdom teeth pain on teeth that were impacted. Tried to get them (Dr AND hygienist) to just use their finger to press on the area to feel the point of one of the teeth, once during the exam and a second time during the cleaning...neither would do it. They both looked in my mouth and said "I don't see it". Um, It's impacted...meaning it is not breaking through the skin...OF COURSE you can't visibly see it! No x-rays were done to review them further. Bill sent afterwards did not reflect the zero co-pay cleaning that my insurance told me I had. I was never able to get this resolved and ended up just paying it to save my credit.
