I trust my wife's recommendation over any other. When she came home RAVING about North Central Family Dentistry, I knew I'd utilize their professional services if the need arose. After more than half-dozen visits, I wholeheartedly agree - it's wonderful to see a Team that loves their work, collaborate so well, and most importantly, provide top-shelf care! (yes, six stars... off the charts)

I will start by saying that this place is the best and the people are phenomenal. It almost makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience. I started going here several years ago when I lived and worked nearby. Although I got a new job and moved to Ahwatukee, I still choose to go to North Central Family Dentistry despite the 30-minute drive across town and the 100s of other dental offices. I did try another dental office in my neighborhood that was highly rated one time, but it really didn't compare to the quality service at North Central Family Dentistry. It is 100% worth the trip two times a year to get my teeth cleaned.

Friendly, very competent staff! I had to change dentists and feel very fortunate that I stumbled into the office of North Central Family Dentistry. Meme, the hygienist who cleaned my teeth, was excellent and gave me some valuable tips about taking care of my teeth. I'll be going back in 6 months for my next checkup I have been very lucky with finding a good....no great....dentist. there was a sore spot on tip of my tongue which was uncomfortable...and annoying. So got appt with Dr Matt...and appt was "tomorrow." Dr Matt examined my tongue and said this is not uncommon and its nothing serious...and should go away in 10-14 days. When i went to desk to pay, i was told "no charge. We dont nickle and dime you to death" lol. This guy gets 5+ stars

One of the best dentist I've ever been too! Dr. Matt and his staff are amazing! Very kind, gentle and professional. I never write reviews, but I feel so compelled to do so because of the wonderful service. I definitely recommend NCFD if you're in need of dental work.

LOVE this dental office. Been going here for years. Dr Mike is great and has a gentle touch when giving those numbing shots. And Mimi, my hygienist, is THE BEST. I have very sensitive teeth and she goes out of her way to lessen that. And Rena, the front desk gal is very personable so we talk and laugh. The whole office is great. I could go on and on and on......

Everyone treats me with care and concern while doing a professional job on my teeth. They are careful about using just enough medicine to make the area numb without putting your whole mouth to sleep. I have been going to this office for over 20 years and never had a problem.
