Jodi Slootsky, DMD grew up around dentistry and always knew that she wanted to go into healthcare. Her father was a dentist, and she worked in his office throughout high school.

Dr. Slootsky is committed to connecting with each of her patients to treat every person uniquely and compassionately.

Dr. Slootskys empathy sets her apart from other dentists. As a standard, she treats her patients emotionally before she treats their teeth. Each time she approaches a patient, she aims to figure what they want and what they are comfortable with to connect that with their dental needs. To her, her patients are real people, not merely sets of teeth.

Comprehensive, big-picture dental care is at the heart of Dr. Slootskys patient philosophy. She believes in treating the whole mouth and tending to long terms goals as opposed to merely treating what is hurting today.

Outside of the office, Dr. Slootsky enjoys snowboarding, skydiving, road biking, exercise, photography, knitting, and cooking. In everything that she does, she honors it with her full attention. Be it dentistry or her hobbies, she is driven by a desire to become a better version of who she was in order to give more, to care more, and to be more.

Dr. Slootsky is a people person, and her patient philosophy is predicated upon building long-term, trusting relationships with her patients.

Dr Jodi is hands down the most caring and compassionate dentist I have ever gone too.After a couple years of not going to the dentist then trying to find one I was comfortable with and trusted was very hard.I am so thankful for her because if I hadn't met her I probably wouldn't be going to the dentist regularly!I highly recommend her!

Dr. Jodi Slootsky literally saved my teeth after I developed multiple, serious dental issues. Not only is she highly professional, she is very caring, gentle, and caring. She has also been highly sensitive to my dentistry anxiety. I highly recommend her!

Now I understand why this Dentist has such amazing reviews! A part of my tooth broke off on the Friday before Easter. I tried to get in touch with some Dentists to see if I could get an Emergency Appointment since it was beginning to cut my cheek from how it broke an I was getting a lot of pain in the tooth itself. My Mom's good friend since she was a child also goes there,an cleans this Dentists office/house. I also talk to my Mom's friend an she gets her work done here as well an really likes Jodi. Jodi was so kind an so helpful an got back to me on a Saturday very quickly an was texting me on an off an concerned about my pain that she said she would see me on Easter. I never expected that an was so appreciative of how caring she was. I explained before my Appointment I have horrible anxiety of Dentists,an she reassured me she would do what she could to save my tooth an tried to talk me down through my anxiety an explained she was doing a Surgery with her partner so she couldn't do my work that day an said she thinks it could wait til Wednesday (today) She was extremely helpful with trying to give me the information I needed about trying to get a Dental Insurance Plan because I unfortunately don't have any,an the costs,what to stay away from etc.Leading up to my Appointment she was in contact with me an very encouraging. I was so nervous about my Appointment today but she kept reassuring I was going to be ok an I could do it,an she wanted to get me better,an out of pain,an save my tooth. She told me if anything hurt to let her know right away an she would numb me more. She wanted to make sure I was as comfortable as possible an ok. Unfortunately my tooth was a lot worse than I thought but she gave me different options before proceeding with anything an we came up with a game plan. I can't say I'm over my fear or Dentists yet but she definitely was by far the most caring, understanding Dentist I have ever met an genuinely cares so much about her patients,an wants to save your teeth an get you back to feeling better an pain free asap. I will continue to go to her an I'm so grateful for how much she is helping me an I highly, highly recommend her!

Highly recommend Dr. Jodi Slootsky. She saw my boyfriend on very short notice, went above and beyond to help him with his wisdom teeth / panoramic X-ray and was very polite, friendly, professional and most importantly, knowledgeable. Very clean and well run dentist practice. Will be returning.

Dr. Jodi is incredible! I have pretty bad dental anxiety, but she has made me feel very comfortable and is super patient. I needed to get some work done in a fast time frame, and she was so flexible through every step. I couldn't recommend her more!

I had the same dentist for 40 years when he unexpectedly passed away. Dr. Jodi stepped in to fill the gap at that time. I am a very loyal customer so it was not easy for me to trust someone else with my dental care. After a checkup it was determined that I need to fill a couple cavities in a very difficult area. When I showed up for the procedure I was expecting to experience a decent amount of pain due to the difficulty of what had to be done. I thought to myself this will be the test for whether I wanted to stay with Dr. Jodi or not. If she could do this work successfully and keep the pain to a minimum that would seal the deal for me. I'm happy to report that my procedure from Novocain to filling and all that goes with it we're almost completely painless. I was thrilled. Even so I expected a day or 2 of pain once the Novocain wore off. I couldn't believe it. When the Novocain wore off I felt almost no pain at all. This was the best experience I have ever had with difficult dental work in my life. Dr. Jodi has earned my trust and my loyalty with a professional job well done.

First off Dr. Slootsky Is such an an amazingly caring individual, I hadn't been to a dentist for years and I was very nervous and also embarrassed about not being more proactive with my dental health. She first spent time calming my nerves and making sure I was emotionally prepared to have a tooth fixed. After she help me build up my confidence of the procedure she then thoroughly explained what options I had for my tooth repair. I decided to have my tooth removed. This had my anxiety right back maxed out but Jodi was very patient and help me to get back to my center and she move forward with the tooth removal. She explained the whole process as she went and constantly check to make sure that I was OK. I had it in my mind that it was going to be excruciating pain but it literally only hurt a tiny bit and when I started to feel it she said let's stop and give you some more shots for pain. After a few more shots she successfully remove the tooth I am happy to say that I scale of 1 to 10 the pain is barely a one. I highly recommend Dr. Slootsky! Her one on one approach with nobody but her dealing with you was a really personal touch to a scary situation. She has earned a customer for life with me and I've already scheduled another appointment to do an annual check up and cleaning. I am completely blown away with my experience with her and she has made me Significantly less worried about my next appointment. Do not hesitate to schedule an appointment with her you will not be disappointed.

I had gone to my previous dentist for close to 40 years before he retired. I found Dr. Slootsky by a referral from a referral. I have seen her several times in the last year. I couldn't be happier.

9/18/2020 Dr Jodi is absolutely the best dentist ever!! She replied to my online inquiry within hours because I mentioned I had pain. Jodi saw me the next morning, on her day off, and spent hours fixing a problem that was by far worse than we thought it was going to be. Dr Jodi is the most caring, gentle, experienced & professional dentist I've ever met.

What can I add to the glowing reviews of Dr. Jodi? How about Insurance Advocate? My insurance company denied a substantial claim but Dr. J assured me that she'd fight it with all she's got. I was skeptical to say the least but we prevailed eventually. Dr. Jodi is the real deal and I'm just glad that she's on my side !

Dr. Jodi is amazing! Just a few things that makes her special, she listens and doesn't rush you, she genuinely cares about your concerns, she does a thorough job and allows you to make the decision about your dental care without pushing additional services, she is easy to talk to. She is talented, she administers numbing agent with barely to no pain, sometimes I don't even notice the injection. Her work is impeccable, haven't had any issues after she had replaced filings. Overall, she is the best dentist I've had, I'm grateful to have found her.

Where do I begin. . . I am the biggest baby and have the worst fear of dentists. I have had horrible experiences in my life with dentists. Have had lots of root canals, which I opted to be put to sleep. Lots of caps and bridge work etc. and still have had problems. Well it got so bad I had to do something so I bit the bullet and looked into the all on 4 proceedure. I found Dr. Jodi on line and made the initial appointment. I have to say it was the best thing I have ever done. Dr. Jodi is amazing. Kind, considerate and goes above and beyond. The best novocaine I have ever had. This is a bit of a proceedure which entails the removal of all the existing teeth and a long proceedure. . I was freaked when I wasn't going to be put to sleep. She is so good that I felt absolutely NO PAIN. . Me the big baby. I just can't say enough about the quality of care she provides. She is the best. She made me smile again. Don't hesitate to make the appointment. You will be glad you did.
