My husband and I recently moved from Texas to Fort Wayne and needed to find a dentist. I had a crown break off and also needed a second crown replaced (should have had it done years ago in Houston). I went to four different dentists and just didn't get a good feel with the first three. But the fourth was Dr. Raja. She and her team are probably the best dentist we have ever been to including the dentist that we used for years in Texas. She gave me options on the crown with the root canal that broke off and did an excellent job on the replacement crown. She explained everything she was doing through the procedure and does really good shots - if a shot can be good! Rochelle, her assistant is equally as wonderful. My husband also had a crown break - yes great timing for us both right when we moved to a new city. Dr. Raja provided him with options of how to proceed as well. Sarah cleaned his teeth and he felt like she did a more thorough job than any of our previous hygienists and we've had some pretty good ones. We are so glad we found Dr. Raja and her team. We would highly recommend this practice to anyone looking for a dentist.

I have had excellent service way over and beyond any dentist I've EVER used. I like their multi- visual in their examinations: x-rays and photos. Dr Raju is very hands on and very thorough and gentle. I've never felt any of the shots when numbing was involved. I've have oral hygienists who not only clean my teeth but give advice on proper ways I can improve my oral hygiene. Things have changed a lot in dentistry in 50+ years. So, things that us older patients were taught, have changed significantly and I appreciate the knowledge that is given to me, so I can do a better job of keeping my mouth healthy, which in turns helps me keep my own teeth!. When they are done, I am offered a scented cloth to clean my face. No one does that!! Thank you Dr Raju. You deserve more than 5

I have been going here for YEARS! I have never had a single poor experience. The whole team makes you very comfortable. They even have a comfort list of items you can choose from like a hot towel after your cleaning or treatment. It's not a spa but they try to make it feel like one!
