Lyndsey Cooper Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I loved their office. Very clean, really kind staff (Donna and Beth were so sweet, as well as Dr. Debellis) and, they were extremely thorough. They made me feel very comfortable from the instant that I walked in, my insurance doesn’t even cover the dental office and I will be paying out-of-pocket to go here because It’s hard to find a good general dentist, ect. Would rate it a 6 if I could !

Fantastic experience: “It’s honestly hard to put the experience into words. There was no rush, no pressure — they make you feel completely at home. Their attention to detail is incredible, and they truly aim for perfection, which they absolutely achieved. I left thinking, why didn’t I find them years ago? Their compassion is real; when you’re there, you feel like family. It feels like home.”

Charlene Robson Published on Google

Fantastic experience: I'm kind of new to the New Baltimore, M I Area. I've been looking for a dentist. Previously before going to Great Lakes Dental I tried another dentist in the area, but much to expensive for a senior citizen on a fixed income. Needless to say I found Great Lakes Dental and very pleased with the staff and dentist. All very personable and kind. Dentist did a great job on my tooth. Would recommend these dentist to anyone.

Justine Published on Google

Negative experience: I had received a flyer in the mail and I was looking for a dentist so I call to get insurance information and the lady who answers the phone was so rude that I instantly changed my mind of becoming a new patient there. You should have nice welcoming people answering phones and at the front desk. That was a terrible first impression. Why would I even think to come to the office when I was treated poorly on the phone I can only imagine how rude she is in person. I will continue to look for a dental office that is welcoming and caring :)

It’s unfortunate that you would leave a review like that without even coming to our office.

We hope you find an office that can better meet your needs.

Fantastic experience: The staff at Great Lakes Dental Excellence (specifically Dr. Pollaccia and Donna) are hands down some of the most professional individuals I have interacted with in a dental capacity. The team was friendly, lively, and able to give educational advice. There were no feelings that I was not doing enough with my cleaning regimen, but wanting to make sure I was educated properly on how to keep my teeth in tip-top shape for as long as possible. Will recommend to all my family and friends in the area, as well as surrounding areas.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pollaccia and the entire team are fantastic! If you suffer from dental anxiety, like I do, and perhaps, have been avoiding going to the dentist this is the place for you. Everyone is compassionate, kind, professional, upbeat, empathetic and do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable. My rating is one million stars... five stars is not enough. They let me bring my hubby in the room for moral support and continuously ensured I was comfortable and understood exactly what was going on. Great Lakes Dental Excellence is an accurate name... but I would rename them Great Lakes Dental Elite because they are the very best of the best! One million out of 10...highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Excellent 1st visit. Receptionist Beth was very accommodating and welcoming. Very comprehensive exam by Dr. Sean as well as by hygienist Samirah. Great bed side manner. Explained everything. Not overbearing whatsoever when explaining offered services. Follow up work to be done, but confidence level thus far is very high. Looking forward to the high level care for years to come. Fantastic experience start to finish. Most comprehensive exam/cleaning ever experienced. Proffesional, very friendly, and informative. If you're looking for a dental provider, look no further. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Pollaccia and her team are INCREDIBLE! Aside from the kindness and quality patient care, they are very thorough with their examination. They offer tons of preventative care in office and even tips/suggestions on the best products to use at home to continue taking care of your teeth in between cleanings/examinations. I'm so lucky to have found Great Lakes!!

Fantastic experience: Had not been to a dentist in 10 yrs. One of my crowns broke loose so I had to find a place to go. Went on line and found Great Lakes Dental as being highly rated. Called and they got me in the next day. It was a great experience from the time I walked in to when I walked out. Donna the hygienist did a superb cleaning on my neglected teeth and gave me a lot of information. The office is very modern and high tech. 5 Stars!

Fantastic experience: Love the staff! I’ve been going here my entire life and now bring my daughter to Donna as well (she’s the best hygienist ever)! We both just had the pleasure of being treated by the new doctor with Stacey assisting. They were both awesome ladies! Couldn’t ask for better dental treatment.
