Fantastic experience: There is no stress at all, I was terrified of going to the dentist, but not anymore.
Fantastic experience: I had chipped a tooth late on a Thursday afternoon and called called Dr. Michalak’s office wanting to have it examined and assessed. It was after regular office hours when I called so I left a message explaining the situation and requesting the next available appointment. The office called me back the very next morning and said that Dr. Michalak wanted to have me come in and be seen that very same morning. Within 90 minutes of receiving the call I was at the practice, received dental x-rays and was in an exam room with Dr. Michalak who examined the injured tooth and assured me that the damage was minimal and the tooth was sound. Needless to say, I was relieved and incredibly appreciative of the rapid response by the practice (especially on a busy Friday morning), the patient-focused service and the courteous and professional treatment by everyone at the office. I would highly recommend Dr. Michalak and the staff at the practice to anyone needing high-quality, patient-focused and service-oriented dental care.

He has a wonderful family practice. You can see how much he cares about his practice and patients. Highly recommend.
