My hygienist, Jenna, was thorough, patient and gentle. Dr Salvatore explained my dental issues and the recommended treatment but gave me options. I am so happy to have found them.

I've been going to Dr. Simpson for several years now and I have always been happy with the care he provides. I am someone who has a lot of anxiety in doctors' offices as well as a phobia of needles. When I needed fillings he was very gentle and so skilled at giving shots and pre-numbing the area before the injection that I never felt a thing. He listened to my concerns without judgement and never rushed me. He has a wonderful bedside manner. I've loved all of the hygienists. The hygienist I've been seeing the last few of years for my cleanings is Jenna and she is truly amazing. I hope she never leaves. I've also seen Dr. Salvatore a couple of times and she has such a peaceful energy. Both doctors are very thorough and knowledgeable and never try to push unnecessary cosmetic procedures, they just want everyone to have a healthy mouth. The one time that I did express concerns regarding a dental assistant they took my concerns to heart and made sure the issue was addressed. Not only was my next visit perfect, but Dr. Salvatore made a point of checking in with me to make sure it was better. I truly love these people and I'm happy to be in their care. I recommend them to everyone.

A fantastic experience, well as a visit to the dentist can be. I was immediately comfortable and put at ease. All staff I interacted with were incredibly professional and courteous, coupled with a friendly atmosphere. They were prompt and efficient and honestly I almost got to take a nap during my deep clean. Highly recommend this office. Great People, I'm a patient for life.

I have found my forever dentist. Great cleaning. Very informative post cleaning discussion as to potential tooth problems to keep an eye on. Never had a dentist/dental hygienist take the time to help me understand my dental situation.

Very nice and professional staff. Got me in at the time of my appointment. Listened and came up with a better solution. Unfortunately can't start working on the issue for 2 1/2 weeks but I guess that is good in these times.

Best dentist office in Phoenix !! Hands down! They offer sedation dentistry for painful procedures! Not sure why more dentist do not offer this service. Extra training I think? Pleasant and friendly office staff too!!

Dr. Lauren Salvatore and her team are incredible! From the moment you walk in to the moment you depart, they work to make you feel comfortable while providing the highest level of attentive care. I feel like this practice cares to get to know me as a person, and they use what they know - anxieties, etc. - to provide treatment that is at the pace I can be comfortable with. I never felt pressured to get unnecessary dental work done, and I always left feeling like I was heard. This dental office provides support without judgement. I highly recommend this practice to anyone with dental cleaning / dental care anxieties or anyone looking for a better dentist!

I'm so happy how things have turned out when I chose to have my dental work here. Michelle at the Front Office is very pleasant, knowledgeable and helpful with all of my questions. Dr Lauren Salvatore attends to my dental needs. She's very pleasant and patient as well. I'm so satisfied with the dental work that was done and I'm looking forward to working with her on my future "dental projects" .
