They were able to get me in within 2 days of calling about 2 broken teeth. Very pleasant staff and Dr. Patel was super friendly and informative. The assistant made sure to check exactly what was covered through insurance before the procedure so there were no surprises with the price. The procedure of repairing my 2 broken teeth was performed with my utmost comfort in mind. Fantastic prices if you have good insurance!! Highly recommend.

Back in 2020 I had gotten a tooth removed when I went this year they told me that the couldn't pull it because it was near sinuses but the tooth removal in 2020 was by sinuses and I gotten removed but I go to get this tooth removed and they tried sending me to a place where they were gunna charge me an arm and a leg which I can't afford since I'm on a limited budget as is so now the cavity I have has chipped and broken to the point where a tooth pick can touch my cheek and no I won't give yall a call nor discuss it

I appreciated the professionalism and I would like to show my treatment procedure from beginning to the end results if the work is anything like the orientation that I had.

Very professional staff. My appointment required no waiting which is actually a first for me. They took care of my problems with another dental office and gave me hope that my dental needs would not break my budget.

I needed to get in quick for an emergency service, and staff were very accommodating and was able to get me in for treatment same day. The dentist (Dr. Patel) and assistant (Sarah) I dealt with were very thorough in both services provided, and information explained on my dental health and future services necessarily. I will be going to this office from here on out, and recommend anyone looking for a professional, kind, and honest office to check out Northwest Family Dental!

Worst dental experience I have ever had...and I have had my share of drillings. I walked out feeling like I was being scammed. If you are looking to establish with a new dentist, skip this place. I came as a new patient to get my teeth cleaned. An important fact they inconveniently don't tell you is they don't offer a cleaning on your first visit. When I asked why, they lied and said its because of recent staff shortages. Looking at old reviews, this appears to be their standard practice. Family Dental? I didn't feel the family vibe. This felt like a 100% corporate experience...I'm surprised they didn't try to sell me an extended warranty for my car. And NWFD, please don't reply with your canned "we would love for the opportunity to discuss this with you" because I gave you the opportunity and you had no interest to make it right.

After arriving to my appointment on time, I had about a 15 minute wait due to staff running behind but I was promptly informed about the delay.
