The whole atmosphere including the support staff was upbeat and charming and friendly. I will definitely go back again and based on this first visit, I would highly recommend him.

Experiencia fantástica: My family was an existing client of the previous dentist, and I am so impressed with the ease, professionalism, and continuity of care of the new dentist, Dr. Taqvi, and the existing staff who continued serving clients at Elm and Ivory. I had a thorough experience with my cleaning, including X-rays. After meeting with Dr. Taqvi and getting a treatment plan with estimates for cost, I am very happy and comfortable receiving any care from this team. I would recommend this practice!

Experiencia fantástica: They were extremely helpful.Dr .gave you as much time as needed. They had a cancer problem first time I ever saw one. They had equipment with water to get the plaque off. First time I was ever introduced to this method.i usually have just dental floss. This process really impressed me. They took pictures of your teeth plus trays and photo of your place. I was referred to dentist by my friend John. Since I don't have insurance they offer me a special deal. $610.00 for 2 appointment which consist of xrays,cancer,gum counts cleaning.so my first appointment did cover all xrays,cancer,and cleaning and checking teeth health. My second appointment will cover the basic. The program also gives you a certain % off dental services like fillings, and crowns

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is pleasant and efficient!

Experiencia fantástica: Great people.super friendly. Updated equipment.

Experiencia fantástica: This place is amazing! they get you in fast and are extremely understanding when you say you're afraid of the dentist! I needed to get a tooth removed and they didnt pressure me to get anything done that day and gave me prices up front! Pricing is very reasonable and doctor is knowledgeable! I had bad anxiety and an odd reaction to the numbing and they brought me a snack and kept me cool with a fan until i felt better! I didnt feel anything at all and they made me feel so comfortable. if you are afraid of the dentist this is the place to go, the entire staff is wonderful.

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff! Very accommodating and professional.
