Experiencia fantástica: I saw Dr Dolores Baran for a cosmetic dental procedure called a gingivectomy. This procedure uses a laser to cut back the gum line to show more of the tooth. I got a consult at Royal Oak Smiles to review this procure and scheduled to have it done the next week. Dr Baran was amazing, explained everything clearly, told me what to except with recovery and was so friendly the entire time. Office staff was so nice as well. This was a great experience for my first time in this office and I will continue to go here in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Just had a great experience at Dr. Baran’s office. I’m a nervous patient at the dentist, but Dr. Baran explained everything she was doing and exactly what to expect. That really helped me to calm down. After the initial injection, my filling was painless and fits perfectly. Later that day it felt like I had nothing done at all! The office staff helps as well, always friendly, supportive and smiling. Highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: When an incompetent dentist ruined my teeth years ago I searched for the best dentists in MI to help repair my teeth, DR. Baran expertly guided me through my repair process and her team performed 2 beautiful root canals and Crown applications, and 5 cavity fillings and got my damaged teeth working and pain free. The 20 some hours in the dental chair was worth it and everyone at the practice was professional, friendly, gentle, kind and knowledgeable- this is a dentist I’d highly recommended and would always trust with my dental health.
Thank you for trusting Dr. Dolores Baran and our team with your dental care journey.

Experiencia negativa: "FREE DENTAL DAY AT ROYALOAKSMILES" IF U HV DENTURES, DONT WASTE YOUR TIME AND GAS. They won't work on dentures even tho it's not mentioned in the advertisement!! Thanks for messing up my weekend guys! Great initiative!!. Added: No I was NOT offered to come in another day for a free evaluation. I was very rudely told dentures will not be looked at by one staff member (which was NOT mentioned on the flyers). I am NOT 'disappointed' coz I know the 'free' had to have "if's and 'but's". I just wish flyers were more honest so we don't waste time, energy and gas
We are sorry to hear you were disappointed. Our "FREE DENTAL DAY" is a community outreach event designed to help as many patients as possible by providing free CLEANING, FILLING, or EXTRACTION, which ARE listed on our event flyer. Unfortunately, denture repairs and adjustments require additional time, materials, and lab work that cannot be accommodated during this limited one-day event. Our team volunteers their time and resources to give back to the community, and we do our best to serve every patient within the scope of the event. We did offer you to come back for a visit on a different day for no charge.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her team are excellent. As a first time experience I was extremely pleased with my care and how thorough they are.
We’re so happy to hear your first experience with Dr. Baran and our team was such a positive one. Thank you for your kind words and for trusting us with your care. We take pride in being thorough and making every patient feel comfortable and well cared for. We look forward to seeing you again at Royal Oak Smiles!
Experiencia negativa: Not POC friendly.
We are unable to locate you in our records as a patient of our office. We do not take claims like this lightly, however we are unable to verify or address concerns from individuals who are not patients of record. If you have had a legitimate interaction with our office, please contact us directly so we can review and address your concerns appropriately.
Experiencia positiva: I went here as a teen for their braces, I loved the staff and how friendly everyone was. I just wish the dentist had asked me if i wanted my Canine teeth shaved down rather than doing it without my consent. I had gone home crying and now as an adult i miss the length of my canines. overall great place just don’t shave peoples canines without asking first Appreciate the response, I was informed after the shaving was done that she had shaved the canines down after the braces came off in the same appointment because they were ‘a little too long for the rest of the teeth’ exact words. I highly doubted that would’ve been documented in the first place and they’re response confirmed that feeling :( This isn’t something i can fix and be happy with the fix which is why i left this review! I loved the response and the honesty of not documenting such a thing when it should’ve been. I moved it up to 4 stars for the kindness :) I also was a child during this time and my grandmother did not care about my feelings towards my canines which is why they never got a proper response to my concerns.
Thank you for your review and for your kind words about our team—we’re so glad you had a positive experience with our staff.
We’re very sorry to hear how you felt about your canines. We always strive to communicate clearly and ensure patients are comfortable with any treatment. After reviewing your records, we do not have any documentation indicating that this service was performed. At the time of your care, we also did not have any record of concerns and made several follow-up calls without hearing that you were unhappy, but we truly regret that this was your experience.
It has been about 6 years since we’ve seen you, and we would truly appreciate the opportunity to reconnect. Please give our office a call so we can better understand your concerns and discuss ways we may be able to help address them.
Experiencia fantástica: I did not expect such a WONDERFUL experience with Gina the hygienist. WOAH I did not feel a thing as she numbed me and the process was so smooth. Gina came in with so much energy and her AURA is so different. She’s passionate of the Lord and I can see it right through her. She loves what she does
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re so happy to hear that you had such a wonderful experience. We’re especially glad you felt comfortable and at ease throughout your treatment.

Experiencia fantástica: I first went to Dr. Baran a few years ago. I thought she was an amazing dentist, professional, gentle, and kind. I used to absolutely HATE going to the dentist. Dr. Baran has alleviated most (if not all) of my anxiety about dental work. People are always commenting on how beautiful my teeth are and asking me who's your dentist. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and heartfelt review! Helping patients feel comfortable especially those who have had anxiety about dental visits means everything to us. We’re so glad Dr. Baran has been able to make your experience gentle, positive, and stress-free. That transformation is exactly why we love what we do.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent dental care in a welcoming, comfortable environment. Entire staff is friendly, professional, and thorough. Scheduled appointments run efficiently with minimal wait time, but they can also accommodate patients when urgent dental issues come up (I’ve had a few of these over the years). Dr. Baran and the staff are also great about explaining care options in detail and providing accurate cost/insurance benefit info up front.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran is an incredible dentist! She performed a gingevectomy on me 2 years ago for my gummy smile, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I used to be really self conscious about my smile and rarely showed my teeth in photos. Thanks to Dr. Baran, I absolutely love my smile now—it has given me so much confidence. Dr. Baran and the whole staff at this office is wonderful and I couldn’t recommend them more!
Thank you so much for your heartfelt review! We’re thrilled to hear how happy you are with your smile, it truly means the world to us. Dr. Baran takes great pride in helping patients feel confident, and knowing that your gingivectomy made such a positive impact is incredibly rewarding. We’re also grateful for your kind words about our team. It’s always our goal to make every patient feel cared for and supported.

Mr. Bailey, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kind words. It’s truly an honor to care for you, and we’re so glad you’ve felt supported and comfortable with us. Dr. Baran and the entire Royal Oak Smiles team appreciate your trust more than you know. You’re not just a patient—you’re family.
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Banana Did An Amazing Job On My teeth. I Came In for A Toothache, And Left With A new mouth ❤️❤️❤️. Thank You Ma’am
Thank you so much for your beautiful message—it truly made our day! Dr. Baran is so grateful for your trust and was honored to help you feel better. Hearing that you left with a “new mouth” means everything to us. We're lucky to have patients as kind and appreciative as you. You’ll always have a home here at Royal Oak Smiles!
Experiencia negativa: The hygienist at Dr. Baran’s office was wonderful—kind, attentive, and a pleasure to work with. Unfortunately, my overall experience was mixed due to the interaction with Dr. Baran herself. She seemed visibly impatient during the appointment, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere. At one point, Dr. Baran questioned me about my consumption of sugary and acidic beverages in a way that felt more scolding than informative—it came across more like being lectured than advised by a healthcare professional. I was also recommended a fairly extensive treatment plan that came with a significant out-of-pocket cost, even with insurance coverage. After getting a second opinion from a trusted family dentist, I was advised to pursue a far less aggressive (and much more affordable) approach. If you’re going in for a routine cleaning, your experience may be fine. But if you’re being told you need major dental work, I’d strongly recommend seeking a second opinion—or considering another provider altogether.
At Royal Oak Smiles, we’re committed to providing high-quality dental care and truly value all feedback. We’re glad to hear your kind words about our team members. We understand how important clear communication and mutual understanding are when it comes to treatment planning. Dental care decisions can sometimes feel overwhelming—especially when opinions differ—and we always aim to provide clarity and support throughout the process. Dr. Baran bases her recommendations on clinical findings and decades of experience. While her goal is always to ensure the best outcome, we absolutely support patients who wish to seek a second opinion. Your comfort and confidence in your care are what matter most. When Dr. Baran discusses lifestyle habits, it is never intended as a lecture, but rather as part of a thorough investigation into the causes of what we’re seeing in the mouth. Our intent is always to inform, never to judge.
Experiencia fantástica: Simple put best dental experience in have every had
Thank you so much for sharing this Michael! It truly means a lot to us! Knowing this was your best dental experience ever makes our day. We’re so happy to have you as part of the Royal Oak Smiles family and can’t wait to welcome you back!
Experiencia fantástica: Can’t recommend Dr.Baran enough! I brought my son in for a second opinion after a previous doctor scared him. She was super patient, kind and gentle with him. Needless to say she will now see the whole family because she was so compassionate with my son and calmed his nervousness down. He no longer is afraid to go to the dentist because of her!
Thank you Stephanie, we appreciate your kind words! We look forward to seeing you and your son again soon!
Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience and will continue to come back to the office. The staff and doctors were very kind, gentle and reassuring during my visits.
Thank you Christiana for your kind review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Experiencia negativa: Avoid this office at all costs unless you enjoy overpaying for services you don’t need to finance their expensive and unnecessary water features, individual TV screens and other equipment. Dr. Baran is legitimately the worst provider I’ve ever encountered in the dental field. I came in up front about my severe dental anxiety and she guilted me for my understandably high blood pressure and avoiding the dentist and was impatient and brusque and seemed openly annoyed with me throughout all of my appointments. She also diagnosed me with several cavities that magically disappeared when I sought a second opinion elsewhere (at the suggestion of a hygienist in Dr. Baran’s own office after hearing her opinion about my teeth) with a dentist with actual bedside manner who isn’t out only to enrich themselves. The other 1-star reviews here are right, this office is all about overcharging and upselling. The work I did have done there was unsatisfactory and even without all of the above, I had nothing but problems with the office staff responsible for scheduling and billing throughout my time there. The ONLY compliment I will give is to the hygienists and dental assistants that worked with me, who were patient, kind and honest with me. Wish I could say the same for Dr. Baran.
We’re genuinely sorry to hear that your experience at Royal Oak Smiles left you feeling this way. Patient comfort and trust are incredibly important to us, and we take all feedback seriously—even when it comes years after the last visit.
While we strive to create a modern, welcoming space with amenities like TVs and a calming atmosphere, these enhancements are not reflected in our treatment recommendations or fees. All diagnoses and care plans at our office are based on clinical findings, and we always encourage second opinions if a patient feels uncertain—which we’re glad you sought.
We're proud of our team, including Dr. Baran, who is known by many for her compassion and clinical excellence. That said, we understand that dental anxiety can make visits especially difficult, and we regret if you felt unsupported during that time. Dr. Baran works closely with severe anxiety and special needs patients daily. We also offer IV sedation for those who need it.
We have attempted to clarify by phone. If you would like to discuss your concerns further or clarify anything in your records, we welcome the opportunity. Please feel free to reach out to us directly at (248) 548-1440.
Wishing you the very best on your dental health journey.
Experiencia fantástica: I can't recommend this dental office enough! I had an unexpected dental emergency and needed a crown on short notice. From the moment I walked in the staff was incredibly understanding and quick to get me in. They were not only professional but also really kind, which made a stressful situation so much easier. They worked efficiently, and thanks to their care, I was able to get everything sorted out and still make my morning flight. If you ever find yourself in a dental jam, this is definitely the place. They truly care about their patients and know how to handle emergencies. Huge thanks to the team!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We’re so glad we could help during your emergency and get you taken care of in time for your flight. It means a lot to hear that our team made a stressful situation easier for you. We’re always here when you need us—thank you again for the kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her staff are amazing! Highly recommend this office.
Thank you Kelsey for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Excellent customer service, always professional. Great dentist, great hygienist. Love my dentist office! M. Gordon
Thank you Marsha for your very kind review!!
Experiencia negativa: Great place for routine dental cleaning. Very unhappy with my implant. I am now left with a screw sticking out of my gums and my teeth are shifting. Total loss of confidence on that part. Do not allow Dr. Shafka to work on your teeth! Edited: I have sent letters to Dr. Baran, Dr. Shafka, and Delta Dental. Unfortunately, Dr. Baran spent more time asking me to take this review down than adressing my concerns.
We apologize that you were unhappy with your experience with Dr. Shakfa. We pride ourselves on providing top quality dental services. We would love the opportunity to discuss this matter with you, as this is the first that we have heard about any dissatisfaction with an implant service. If you could contact the office we would be happy to try to resolve this matter.
Experiencia fantástica: Shamaila provides outstanding service - thorough, gentle, and professional. Her meticulous cleaning and personalized oral hygiene advice have truly improved my dental health. Friendly, knowledgeable, and precise, she makes dental visits a positive experience. Highly recommended!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad to hear that Shamaila’s thorough and gentle care made such a positive impact on your dental health. She truly takes pride in providing personalized and professional service. We look forward to seeing you at your next visit!
Experiencia fantástica: I've been a patient of Dr. Baran for 10 years because everyone there consistently provides the highest quality of care with the utmost patience and understanding compared to all other dentists I've been to as a child and adult. All things considered, Dr. Baran's dedicated service and state-of-the-art office should be the standard of health care
Thank you so much for your kind words and for being a loyal patient for 10 years! We truly appreciate your trust in Dr. Baran and our team.

Thank you Haley for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her staff are all wonderful!!! I have major PTSD and dental trauma so I am a mess when it comes to the dentist. This was my first time ever changing dentist due to insurance reasons and so glad I did . Dr Baran was very patient and passionate about my procedure that was my front tooth and my whole smile . She was not rushing me , she gave me time to catch my breath and allow me to calm my self down . Laurie was awesome and very patient as well during my whitening session that took 1 hour and putting my tooth in place . I am sure I drove them nuts but they didn’t show it . I am so thankful for Dr Baran I was even able to give her a hug before leaving her office . She will make sure you are happy before you leave . Adding pics so you can see the difference

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend Dr. Baran for cosmetic dentistry! She is awesome, diligent and thorough. Her staff is so kind and efficient. I am almost done with the SureSmile program, and I am so excited to have the straight teeth I always wanted! This has been worth the effort and Dr. Baran makes It so easy. I edited my post and added a picture when the project was completed. This was a journey but the best decision ever! I will have a lifetime of healthier teeth and obviously a better smile!

Experiencia fantástica: I chose this place because of the reviews, and it’s only right to add to the amazing stories! I went in for a consultation for Laser Gum Conturing - after 2 years of being unsure if it’ll help. I felt so comfortable and excited. During and after the procedure, I felt comfortable and at ease. My results literally exceeded my expectations and I can’t stop smiling! No more gummy appearance. I am soooo happy with the results and if you’re even considering, book your consultation here!! By the way, the staff is just as amazing. Dr Baran is VERY talented!!! 10/10!
Ronda! Thank you soo much for your kind review! We are so happy that you love your new smile! We appreciate patients like you!!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran is the best!!! I had crooked teeth, tooth staining and chipping, and while I’ve had generally good dental health, I have never been that confident about how my teeth look. She did such a good job fixing my teeth I now love my smile. Dr. Baran and all of the staff are so kind, dedicated, and professional, I would 10/10 recommend!!!
Thank you so much Caleb!!! Your kind words mean so much to us. We appreciate patients like you!
Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Dr. Baran and her amazing "Dream Team" enough! From the moment you walk into the office, you are greeted with warmth and professionalism. Dr. Baran is not only incredibly skilled but also takes the time to explain everything, ensuring you feel comfortable and informed throughout your visit. Her attention to detail is remarkable, and you can tell she genuinely cares about her patients' well-being. The entire team is friendly, supportive, and truly dedicated to making every appointment a positive experience. Whether it’s routine check-ups or more extensive procedures, I always leave feeling confident and well taken care of. If you’re looking for a dentist who combines expertise with a compassionate approach, look no further than Dr. Baran and her Dream Team!
Wow Jillian! Thank you so much for your kind review. We appreciate patients like you!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and staff were very professional and very thorough. I understood my dental plan very well and look forward to getting things taken care of. I had the best cleaning ever! I’ve never felt so comfortable thanks to Kayla, she’s a perfectionist… excellent and very thorough. Thank you for a stress less visit.
Thank you so much for your kind review!! We appreciate you greatly!
Experiencia fantástica: I had Zoom whitening done my teeth look amazing Laurie did a great job.
Thank you so much for your kind review!!! We appreciate patients like you!
Experiencia fantástica: I seriously cannot say enough good things about Dr. Baran. I have had so many bad dental experiences in metro Detroit. I had trust issues when I came to Dr. Baran’s office when a friend referred her. She made me feel comfortable when she was one of 2 dentists (other being in Louisville) that did not pressure me to take out my wisdom teeth. She is very conservative on treatments and stays up to date with what can be done to preserve natural teeth. I have been with her office for a few years now but recently moved to another state. I still come back to her for all my dental needs. Also all the dental hygienists are amazing and have been doing it for 10+ years.
Olga! Thank you so much for your kind review! We truly appreciate you!
Experiencia fantástica: Great office with no wait, my hygienist Shamaila does a wonderful job with cleaning teeth. Did not feel anything uncomfortable or painful during my cleaning appointment. Would recommend to a friend
Thank you Wafa! We appreciate your kind words.
Experiencia fantástica: Caring staff, great dentist. From the front desk to the dental suite, the team was good about addressing any questions or concerns about the dental procedure to be done that day. Then the dental work was done in a professional and caring manner.
Thank you Adrian for your kind review! We appreciate patients like you!
Experiencia negativa: Grateful I was able to go back to my old dentist. Giving this place 4.8 stars is beyond me. Do yourself a favor & just don’t with this one.
Hi Marissa,
Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. On the day of your appointment we unfortunately lost power in our office and contacted all patients as soon as we lost power via text/phone call. We apologize for the last minute reschedule. We strive to provide the best care possible and take all comments seriously.
If you’re open to it, I’d appreciate the chance to discuss your concerns further and see how we can improve. Please feel free to contact me directly at 248-548-1440.
Wishing you all the best,
Royal Oak Smiles
Experiencia fantástica: I have an anxiety disorder and of course most people get anxious when they have to go to the dentist but Dr. Baran and her staff (especially Laurie) are so great! They really make you feel "heard" when most places just want you in and out. Highly recommend and I've never written a review before.
Thank you Stacey for your kind review! We appreciate your kind words, and Laurie thanks you as well!!
Experiencia fantástica: Came in for first time Dr Baran and her staff gave me options and took care of my issues all the fists day. She worked me in her busy schedule and every thing is great the next day Thanks to you all
Thank you for your kind review!! We appreciate you!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran is great at what she does. Flawless work and well worth the extra expense from coming here. The staff is always friendly and helpful. In the past, I've had issues getting appointments, since they have limited hours on evenings and weekends. In the summer, they're only open Monday - Thursday, which can be difficult. However, after some back and forth with the business, I was told that, so long as a patient is clear on what they need and what their limitations are, the office will do what they can to accommodate appointments. It just depends on the procedure. IMPORTANT NOTE: My original review was 4 stars due to the scheduling issue. However, since leaving that review, the office reached out to me to explain the above, and has also accommodated more than one evening appointment as necessary, so I amended my review to reflect that.
Experiencia fantástica: Awesome staff, awesome dentist! I had neglected going to the dentist for 2 years and developed an infected tooth. Dr Barans got me in and scheduled a root canal for the next day. She and her assistant, Jasmine, made the process simple and painless. Very grateful for their effort and compassion. They've earned a return customer!
Thank you so much for your kind review Mike!!
Experiencia fantástica: Friendly staff and great service. I was completely comfortable.
Thank you for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran is a wonderful dentist!!! Honestly, the best dentist I have ever had. She is very kind, professional & knowledgeable. She listens to your concerns & gives you several different options/solutions to choose from. I have been a patient for several years and will continue for many more years to come. Thanks for all you do, Dr. Baran! :)
Thank you for your kind review!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her team are professional and accommodating which is greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your kind review Liz!!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely love this office. The entire staff is so kind and caring. Dr. Baran is super knowledgeable, trustworthy, and takes excellent care of her patients - while keeping care affordable. I never thought I’d say I look forward to the dentist..but I do now . Highly recommend.
Thank you for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: I recently made the switch to Royal Oak Smiles and would highly recommend them to anyone seeking a new dentist.
Thank you for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: If you are looking for a dentist, Dr. Baran and her staff are awesome! They make the visits as enjoyable as going to the dentist can be. She has helped me achieve a smile I am proud of, and I will be eternally grateful that I chose her as my dentist.
Thank you for your kind review Jen!
Experiencia positiva: Did not have a long wait to get seen, the dentist listened to my concerns and let me know all my options.
Thank you for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing affordable quality work. Very nice staff, was able to get me in and out and work around my schedule. Helped me weigh my options out and let me know what would be best fit for the work I had done. I’ve never felt more comfortable at a dental practice. 10/10 would recommend! Worth the drive if you aren’t from the area.
Thank you Xenialah for your kind review! We appreciate you
Experiencia fantástica: Staff are very friendly and my teeth are in great shape
Thank you Beth for your kind review!!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing. They made me feel comfortable and at ease. I love it
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and the staff @ Royal Oak Smiles are amazing!!! Every treatment that I have received has been top tier. She is one of the top 10 in Michigan. You need to be able to trust your dentist. I've only had great experiences for the last 7 years!!! Thank you for everything!!!
Thank you Lateisha for your kind review! We are so grateful for patients like you!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Baran and her team are the best!!! I came here after having a bad experience at another dentist office and now i’m happy that I found the perfect office for me. I look forward to coming to the dentist now. They are super quick and efficient here, they listen to all my concerns/needs and provide me with the best and affordable options :)))
Thank you so much for your kind review, Farrah! We enjoy having you in our office! See you soon!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her team are just the best! Very hospitable and welcoming office, and are very timely with appointments.
Melissa, thank you so much for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Amazing as always! Can't say enough how much this is the best Dentist ever!
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing. I used to have so much anxiety about the office. It was really bad, sometimes requiring medication. To say that this office assisted with changing my entire perspective about going to the dentist is an understatement. The environment here is so calming. Tv in each room, or a wall fountain if that’s your preference. Cold water in the lobby which is open and inviting. Ava is by far the most amazing individual to keep you calm and is the best at what she does. Our entire family has transferred here, and we wouldn’t consider going anywhere else’s. If you have any hesitation about going back to the dentist, I highly recommend this office.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: I had a great experience with dr. Baran and her staff. Ava cleaned my teeth. She did an awesome job. What I really liked was she gave me sun glasses so the lights weren’t shining in my eyes and I was able to get a blanket so I was nice and warm during my cleaning. And when dr baran came in to evaluate my teeth she identified some problems my other dentist missed. I highly recommend Dr. Baran and her staff to anyone.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran is an excellent cosmetic dentist who is dedicated, innovative and provides excellent patient care! Dr. Baran and her team perform most dental procedures in the office, including root canals, dental implant placement restoration, invisible braces and more. I was appreciative that she rearranged her schedule to fix my cracked tooth after eating popcorn the very next day. It's no wonder that she has been honored as a Top Dentist for multiple years by Hour Detroit Magazine. Kudos!
Thank you for your kind review Mary!
Experiencia fantástica: She is an amazing dentist. So caring and pain free. She knows everything I feel like and is professional.
Thank you for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her staff here are all so kind and professional. For months, I had been searching for a dentist that I could trust to perfect my smile. I was hesitant initially, but during my consultation, Dr. Baran listened to all of my concerns, and then explained the various options I had. I took a leap of faith, and now, not even a few weeks later, here I am receiving daily compliments about my teeth. She did a great job, and it was refreshing to have someone not just recommend the most expensive solution. If you need dental bonding or veneers, I 110% recommend this practice. Thanks ladies. EDIT: I've been in multiple times since and Dr. B & her staff take great care of my teeth every time!
You are welcome ,we are so glad you had a great experience! Thank you so much!!
Experiencia fantástica: Went to this dentist for years had a great experience with my zoom with Laurie
Thank you Annabel for your kind review!!!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and staff always do a high quality job for my dental needs. The office environment is cozy and people are really friendly and treat you like an old friend.
Thank you Charles for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Dolores Baran at Royal Oak Smiles provides very professional and caring treatment. The same day crowns are really wonderful.
Thank you so much for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: Friendly efficient office. The tech that cleaned my teeth was gentle and knowledgeable. My family have been using Dr Baran's office for over 15 years. Could always accommodate us whether working or going to classes. Highly recommend this practice.
Thank you so much for your kind review, Anne! We appreciate you!
Experiencia negativa: My mother is a patient of record, not myself, and I’m disgusted at how Dolores treated her. Money, money, money …that is Dolores’ only concern. She gave my elderly mother a treatment plan that would cost thousands of dollars. We got a second, and third opinion and neither dentist wanted to do even 1/2 of what Dolores and her staff insisted was necessary. Shame on her and her staff ….
We did not find your mother in our data base. We always provide a thorough and accurate diagnosis along with recommendations and options according to the patients needs and wants. Dr. Baran and her staff care deeply about their patients and would never treat them in the manner which you described.
Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic office! The staff is incredibly friendly, courteous, and helpful.
Thank you Thomas for your kind review!
Experiencia fantástica: I was a patient elsewhere but could not get in there on a weekend to deal with a horrible toothache. Dr Baran’s office fit me in last minute early on a Saturday morning. They even called me when i sent an email, not leaving me to have to call and call hoping to maybe get in. Dr Baran saw me, diagnosed the need for a retreatment of a root canal, and even set the appointment up for me Monday. Then, when my antibiotic prescription got screwed up by cvs she texted with me and called in a new one. On top of that, the next day i was still in agony so she texted with me again and called in a Tylenol 3. Any practice that goes to such lengths to ensure a happy and comfortable patient is going to get me for all my dental needs. I’m definitely switching.
Katy, thank you so much for the kind words. We strive to do our best for our patients, even outside of office hours if needed.
Experiencia negativa: Patient care isn't their priority, it's all about upselling
This is not a patient of record and therefore a fake review. We do not upsell anything, we offer patients all options and it is up to them to decide.
Experiencia fantástica: I really enjoy going to this office for the friendly and personable service. They work at accommodating their patients busy schedules, which is greatly appreciated.
Thank you, Jeff! We appreciate your kind review !!!
Experiencia fantástica: Great staff. Dr. Baran is wonderful. Very caring for those with teeth sensitivity.
Thank you, Virginia! We are so grateful for your kind review.
Experiencia fantástica: First time visit. Great place! Super friendly and professional. Very clean! Found my new place!
Thank you, Mateo! We really appreciate your kind review! We are glad to have you :)
Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely LOVE Dr. Baran. She takes time to discuss all procedures with you and have real interaction regarding you personally. The entire staff is warm and friendly...I look forward to my appointments - to see everyone and to catch up! If you are looking for a dentist that truly cares about you and will help you make the best decision for your best smile...you can't be in better hands than with Dr. Baran and her staff!
Thank you so much! We strive to treat all our patients like family!
Experiencia fantástica: Great appointment. Caring staff. Gentle teeth cleaning procedure. Always feel welcomed and cared for. Free bottle of water on the way out. Always a positive experience!
Thank you so much for the great review!
Experiencia fantástica: Almost always punctual, very friendly and thorough. I've been coming here for 8+ years and will continue to see Dr. Baran & her professional staff.
Thank you, Jonathan! We appreciate your kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: Absolutely fantastic Dentist clinic. Staff are so nice & helpful & Dr’s Baran & Hildebrand are both just great! Highly recommend!
thank you Debbie!!
Experiencia fantástica: In spite of an uncomfortable procedure, I could not say better things about Dr. Baran and her staff. I have pretty severe anxiety around going to the dentist and have never really felt like other doctors had taken it seriously, but Dr. Baran and her dental assistant were so patient and kind and worked so hard to make sure I was comfortable and feeling OK in spite of nearly three hours of work. Would highly recommend to everyone, but even more specifically those with dental anxiety!
Thank you, Brenna! We appreciate your kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Baran and her staff have been taking care of all my dental needs for the past 18 + years. She has also been taking care of my daughter and son for just as long. We appreciate how KIND everyone is and know that Dr. Baran takes great care of all of our needs, from cleanings to emergencies and everything in-between. I’m so thankful for her and her staff
Thank you so much !
Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going here for a few years now and it’s by far the best dentist office ever . Everyone is super nice and friendly. Dr.Baron is amazing, I highly recommend you go and become apart of the family!
THANK YOU! We appreciate your kind words!
Experiencia fantástica: I came in as an emergency and Dr. Baran did not hesitate to treat my root canal so that I did not have to suffer any more tenderness, pain, or swelling. My two hour procedure took all of the doctor's lunch hour, but I walked out of there with my problem fixed and my jaw pain-free. Carol Kohut
