Here's my story. In June 2022, I received a crown from Morningside Family Dental. Today, September 10th, Saturday, 12:20, the crown fell off and I was in pain. In panic mode, I immediately called Morningside at 12:21since we are flying out to Disney World tomorrow, a trip we have been planning since March. Morningside Family Dental closed at 12pm. I spoke to two ladies, they both sent messages to the Doctor. No response. No call back. I explained the entire situation. Here I am, in pain, special trip the next day and considering cancelling the family trip. Fortunately, I called Compassionate Dental Care across the street, they opened up for me and re-glued the crown. No pain, family excited again and off to Disney World. Sorry, Morningside Family Dental failed me today. I have a new dentist now. Thank you for reading my story. Joe

I visited Morningside Family Dental this afternoon and I was amazed! Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Aliker was thorough and willing to spend as much time as needed to go over my scans. The cleaning was by far the most painless experience in years! They are officially our family dentist.

I made appointment here ask for a filling in one molar, the lady on phone told me that for a filling it was around $80. I went there for supposed to be done but they charged me $79 just for examination and $700 for complete the filling. What a lier behind the desk, I will never come back again.

There are many dentist offices and I was so confused on where I should go. I looked at the great reviews for Morningside Family Dental and made an appointment which I am happy I did. Today was the appointment with Dr. Aliker for my son; his Wisdom teeth need to be removed and he needs Invisalign . The office is very clean and front desk lady, Taylor, is very nice and friendly; she took time go through my paper work. The dental Hygienist, Tabitha, has an excellent personality; pleasant, compassionate, productive, she goes step by step with my son , which was very helpful . Dr Ailker is also very kind, very nice, and very honest ; he is explaining things thoroughly, he describes all the options, went through detail, made suggestions and recommendations to help my son in his situation. I never ever see any Doctors that are so honest with supper nice staff. They take so much their time, and I learned a lot of knowledge to know what I should do for my son. I highly recommended this office see Dr Aliker, for cleaning teeth see Tabitha and will definitely be come back.
