Having a lifelong fear of the dentist, I can say: Dr. Sheklian is the BEST! He and his team put me at ease and - no lie - I barely know he's injecting or drilling. I trust and recommend him to anyone! Squan Family Dentistry really is the best!

Jill was my hygienist today and the second person I was going to meet before Dr. Sheklian. She worked cleaning my teeth with intense professionalism, giving details of each tooth surface and margins. as she removed plaque and stains. Dr. Sheklian was pleased at what he saw during the exam. Everyone office staff Kelly and forgive me if I am leaving out a name Everyone was as pleasant as possible. And me! I don't have to go back for another 6 months. AB

I've been a patient of Dr. Sheklian's for almost 18 years and have never had a bad experience. The staff is nice and attentive to their patients needs. Dr. Shelian has a calming effect especially to those, including my husband and I, who suffer from anxiety when at the dentist. Best dentist ever!
