So glad I finally decided to come here to Dr Lungs office . I have been so anxious and worried about where to go for my dental work and I am always very nervous at the dentist office. The offices here are so peaceful, all of my anxiety was washed away once I stepped in. And all of the staff is so kind here, I felt so welcome. I see why its called the family dentist, I felt like family. And I plan to bring all of my family here too. It is Affordable and quality work. I highly recommend this office to all my friends and family. This is the type of office that would keep me from moving away to somewhere else so I can keep the same doctor.Thank you Dr lung, Deanna, and staff! :)<3

I absolutely loved my first appointment! I was welcomed to their family practice from the moment I walked in the door. Really kind and friendly staff! I look forward to sending my friends and family because I know they will be in great hands!

I learned the hard way to get a second opinion after having unnecessary work done at The Family Dentist. At my last visit, the dentist said I would likely need some major work done. That's when I knew I needed to look elsewhere. Prior to moving to Lakeland, I always got good dental compliments from my last dentist. Guess what? My current dentist has been happy with my teeth condition for over four years. Unfortunately, my dentist has had to repair some of the unnecessary work.
