Lakeland Hills Dental: Walter J Jankowski DMD

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent experience.

Experiencia fantástica: I give Dr Jankowski and his crew a 5tar rating

Experiencia fantástica: Cracked a tooth Wednesday night, and got me to see Dr. Joe the next morning. Awesome staff and of course Dr. Joe. Highly recommend Lakeland Hills Dental to anyone needing a great Dentist and a caring staff. Update: Had a crown put on after the cracked tooth, and after 4 months the tooth died. Was able to get in about and week and had the tooth extracted yesterday 23 Jul. Extraction went easy. Dr. Joe called me last night about 8:45pm to see how I was doing. No pain or swelling. Today where the tooth was feels great. Again all the staff was super and friendly. Highly, recommend Lakeland Hills Dental.

Experiencia fantástica: This team is great and does a fantastic job in helping you maintain your dental health.

Experiencia negativa: Customer service is absolute trash I called this morning for a follow up on my co pay with my new dental insurance, she answered my call then goes to interupt me by saying "yeah we've been trying ro call you!" in an unpleasant tone then I expressed that I am new to all of this and trying to get understandment. She could not tell me now much of my yearly balance would be removed from my insurance so I explained since there was not much more she could do or answer for me that I would call Cigna Dental she felt offended then she proceeds to tell me she is not my personal assistant & etc. I am highly disappointed but overly happy that I didn't let these kinds of rude people into my mouth.

Experiencia fantástica: A wonderful experience everyone there is super nice and talks you through everything. Joe and his assistants are all extremely professional and do their best to make it a comfortable experience! Joe makes sure you don’t feel anything and the fillings they do look exactly like a regular tooth.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice Dr. and staff! I will recommend this dr. To you all.

Experiencia fantástica: First time here for my daughter, and her experience was amazing! They are all so friendly and made her feel at ease. Dr. Joe even called later to check on her!!

Experiencia fantástica: My experience was very nice, thank you. Dr Jankowski is a very nice person he will talk to you as if he's known you forever.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent Service Excellent quality care I will not have to look for a new dentist for many years. This is what you work hard for Excellent Service. Bravo

Experiencia fantástica: Staff got me fast for an emergency extraction, Dr Joe and staff were all wonderful.

Experiencia fantástica: Very pleased with my first visit. Associates were very friendly and knowledgeable. Each seemed to be eager to help me feel at ease. The inspection of my teeth was as thorough as any I have ever had. The Doctor devised a plan to get my dental condition in top shape. I feel I have been going there for years.

Experiencia fantástica: This dental office is always so professional and well organized. I really appreciate how they provide clear estimates ahead of time, so you know exactly what to expect before any procedure, it makes a big difference. Whenever I have questions, they respond quickly, which I truly value. The dentist, hygienist, dental assistant, and receptionist are all amazing friendly, welcoming, and genuinely caring about their patients. Even my teenage son, who usually isn’t a fan of going to the dentist, doesn’t mind coming here because he’s had such great experiences. Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Needed a Dentist and found one. Just happened to fit me in before my vacation. I will be using them again and telling my friends that need a dentist. Office staff was outstanding and Dr Joe called himself to check on me after my appointment. Thanks to your professional staff Dr Joe.

Experiencia fantástica: Thank you guys for getting me in yesterday as a emergency walk in you guys rock

Experiencia fantástica: Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and most important they do good work.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. J has been my dentist for at least 15 years or more. He was recommended to me by one of my customers; now I recommend him/ office to anyone. Office and staff are impeccably clean, friendly, knowledgeable and caring. Time is taken with each client; never overbooked ! Teeth pullings, root canal or cleaning..I Highly Recommend.. Thanks Dr J and staff

Experiencia fantástica: Stupendous! Superb! Better than CATS! They always take good care of me.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joe and entire staff are the best I have ever dealt with. Highly recommend them. After trying many dentists in this area the past 20 years , I have finally found a superb office. They are all great people.

Experiencia fantástica: Joe was great. Staff was equally great. Appreciate the follow up call from him checking to make sure all was good.

Experiencia fantástica: Had a wisdom tooth giving me problems. I called the office in the morning and had an appointment with Dr. Joe that very afternoon. I was given an exam and consultation and treated. Great office personnel and service. The office now has a new patient since I was not an existing patient. Recommended highly if needing a great dentist!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joe & staff are the best!!! I travel from Jefferson County, Mo. to be in their care. I must say they are by far the Best in the Metro Area!!!

Experiencia fantástica: I want to thank Joe so much I am terrified of dentist. I had a dental implant put in a week ago today it is completely healed I was so nervous but everyone at Lakeland dentist has made me feel comfortable welcome I can honestly say when I go to the dentist now I'm not scared the team here is absolutely amazing. If you are looking for an outstanding dentist for their patience please choose Lakeland dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: Very professional, quick, and extremely nice. Will definitely be returning and will hopefully be a lifetime patient. I had my wisdom tooth removed and it was quick and painless.

Experiencia fantástica: Overall a very good experience. Staff was very friendly and helpful and Dr. Jankowski did a great job.

Experiencia fantástica: Always a pleasure, friendly people, beautiful atmosphere, great service, thank you.

Experiencia negativa: The cleanings here are excellent. The staff does a thorough job. During my last visit, the hygienist seemed uncomfortable explaining that a dark spot on my gum was simply due to my darker complexion. Instead of just saying that plainly, she awkwardly mentioned she didn’t know my nationality and didn’t want to assume. It was unnecessary and uncomfortable. I’m American, just like her. I experienced other microaggressions at my previous appointments but dismissed it, wanting to give the staff the benefit of the doubt. However, they continued to prove they don't interact with any black person if it's not transactional. This lack of awareness and not engaging respectfully with people with different backgrounds also shows up in the dentist. He can be incredibly condescending and crass. He tends to talk down to patients as if we don’t understand our own bodies. He also handles you roughly, like you’re a practice dummy instead of a real person. He talks in a way that feels out of touch and dismissive, as if he’s not used to engaging with anyone outside of his tax bracket. I hope this office learns to treat every patient with basic respect and dignity — not just provide good cleanings.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joe and his staff are the best of the best. He is very good. Makes me feel like I am a part of his family. His hygienist, Corinna, is very detailed too and nice to talk to. She also makes you feel comfortable. The whole staff deserves 10 Gold Stars. Keep up the good work.

Experiencia fantástica: We have used Lakeland Dental for 17 years. Always customer friendly and professional. I would recommend them to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Great experience with the dental Hygienist. She Was friendly but professional, and made me feel safe and comfortable. I thought she did a great job. I will definitely be back in six months.

Experiencia fantástica: Been going to for years. Can’t say I enjoy going to the dentist but he is the best. He and his staff keeps everything comfortable and friendly

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Jankowski is not only a highly skilled dentist, he is most affable as are his staff. Very reasonable costs and assistance with insurance. I couldn't be more pleased with his work.

Experiencia fantástica: I recently had a tooth extracted. Dr Joe and his son and staff were great. Didn’t even feel the shots. Called me that night to see how I was. Not too many Dentists do that any more. Great service! Highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: The best and most amazing staff. Dr. Jankowski was awesome. Tooth extraction with no pain. First time visiting his office and will not be the last!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Broken molar and leaving next week for a trip, I was accepted for treatment and my tooth was restored for travel and a later crown placement. Skilled, friendly and professional service from this provider of top quality dental care. Being a retired health-care provider, I recognize the skills and ethics of practice and Dr. Joe has what you want in your dental care.

Experiencia fantástica: Always friendly and Great staff. Highly recommended Dr Joe and his team to anyone.

Experiencia fantástica: Toni and Brooke are terrific. Was in and out in 40 minutes. Dr. Jankowski did a great job with the repair.

Experiencia fantástica: ALWAYS a great experience. I was in for a routine cleaning. I was in the exam area within 5 minutes after arrival. I didn't need an X-ray ths time, so the tech started right away. As painless as a cleaning can be. Fluoride applied and Dr. Joe was in to check me out. I love his sense of humor and jovial nature. Young or old go to Dr. Joe!

Experiencia negativa: I'm not going to say to not go to Walter's practice. That is up to you. Let me share with you my experience if you could be facing a similar dilemma. I am 20 years old. I am a college student. I am financially responsible for myself. I don't have good dental insurance and was going to pay out of pocket. I had a good orthodontist that corrected mistakes left by other orthodontists. Which is why I had a lot of gratitude. He gave me a few cards and told me that these were good dentists that wouldn't waste my time and money. I called Leaklank and explained to the friendly receptionist about my situation. I have lost a significant amount of bone from trauma associated with my braces. I knew I was most likely going to have to get the tooth pulled and a bone graft put in. Which is not a cheap procedure. Also, I am young, and keeping all of my teeth is important to me. The lady said that Walter had other options and wouldn't recommend that unless it was serious. I made it known that I would be open to the services if it wasn't the worst-case scenario, as I would go elsewhere that was affordable for me. I set the appointment for 1:30 p.m., then I get a confirmation phone call the day before my appointment. However, I was given a different time, which was 8 a.m. Big difference. I kept the appointment. The next day I ran late because I am 25 minutes away from driving, but I take bus transportation at the moment. I got there 15 minutes late and filled out a bunch of paper work. I was then taken to a room. Walter comes in shortly after and starts poking around in my mouth, which was uncomfortable. I was ready to hear the options. Which He said there were two. I guessed "Which is to pull the tooth and get a bone graft," which he said is his most common option. And then the second was to wait 5 to 10 years and not be a good candidate for an implant. I was not happy because, for starters, my appointment was pushed to the morning, and then I was lied to about the options from the lady. She said he had multiple solutions. The second wasn't an option at all. He was trying to scare me into paying right away. He got mad when I told him my plan of where I was going to get dental and that I was only seeing him because I was informed of a different option. He got mad and upset and said I was a waste of time, and he also said, "You patients go to a different country when I tell you something you don't like." No, we go elsewhere because you don't make it affordable. He was very unprofessional. And I said I would pay for the appointment. Not because I felt bad, but because he is good friends with my ortho. Which I think I am getting a different one. The experience was unsettling and uncomfortable. He was then rude and tried to get me to do an x-ray that would cost $60; I said no. I already had one sent over. I left voluntarily. He was telling me to leave. Walter displayed himself badly. I did not deserve that, even if I was in the wrong. He was friendly until he realized he wasn't getting a cent. And changed my appointment from 1:30pm to 8 a.m. He wanted me to pay 3,000 dollars. I said bye. I wasn't rude or lashing out like He was. I was trying to explain myself. Looking back, I didn't have to explain anything. I dealt with the insults all the way to the door. He wasted my time. *You can go ahead and send this to Jeff. Thank you and have a nice day.*

Experiencia fantástica: Being the first dentist that I have gone to, after moving from Michigan to Illinois, I find this to be a very at home feeling business where everyone made me feel very welcome and comfortable. I would highly recommend this dentist establishment.

Experiencia fantástica: I would recommend Lakeland Hills Dental for all your dental needs. Dr. Joe & his staff are all very nice & provide excellent service

Experiencia fantástica: I love going to this dentist he is experienced in what he do he has pull my teeth and he so good it’s out and I didn’t feel it and my hygiene is very good she makes me very comfortable and anyone talking about dentist I always recommend my dentist

Experiencia fantástica: I've been a patient for several years and have always been very happy with my care. Cleanings and checkups are thorough, and if I need a filling the scheduling is easy to work with and they make sure I'm comfortable.

Experiencia fantástica: Very good experience. The atmosphere was professional throughout. You all made me feel welcome.

Experiencia negativa: NEVER give Joe your credit card. I was self pay with no dental insurance. I informed him that i had had c-diff and could not have implants or antibiotics and gave him my GI's name and phone number which he called. This info is in my GI's records. She told him that IF he gave me those antibiotics she would have me in the hospital with c-diff again with vancomycin pumped straight through my veins to cure c-diff again. I had pressure on a tooth on the lower left side of my jaw. I would think his xrays shows that problem. I was gassed and left alone so long my nose felt like it was on fire and tears were streaming down my face when he returned. At that point, i was pretty much out of it, and was given numbing shots. I had no idea what he was doing in my mouth and he proceeded to wreck a bridge on the opposite of my lower jaw and pulled my last molar there. This bridge was never discussed and was in perfect condition. He then moved onto the problem tooth on the opposite side of my lower jaw and began the root canal i was there for. Because of the crooked root, the pressure was unbearable. I was holding onto my jaw asking him to stop, stop, stop. He finally stopped, cut my gum open exposing the crooked root, snipped it off, and stitched me up. This root canal included destroying my entire bridge from eye tooth to eye tooth, leaving me with a 3 tooth gap, which he made a 3 tooth "flipper" for esthetic reasons and gave me a sr. discount for only $675.00. At this point i was DONE. Joe's last words to me as i was leaving were QUOTE: I could just do those implants with NO antibiotics END QUOTE. I believe that was his plan from the beginning since he removed that bridge and pulled my last molar on the opposite side of my lower jaw. I was no more than a cash cow with a very high limit credit card. This whole nightmare cost me thousands upon thousands of dollars.

Experiencia fantástica: Team is very helpful! Dr Jankowski keeps great environment for patient safety and patient engagement!

Experiencia fantástica: I always have a great experience with Dr. Joe and his staff. Everyone is pleasant, professional and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Trustworthy, professional, and excellent customer service. After my visit I felt like a movie star from the exceptional treatment I received. The office is very clean and the staff are exceptional. This isn't a place where they push you out the door. The hygienist and Dr. Jankowski take their time to ensure the utmost care and quality is received by the patient.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr.Noe was very thoughou and informative of my options.We discussed my options and came to a decision that works with my budget and I will be able to do sumthn I havent been able to do in a long time.Justsmile and not be embarrased.

Experiencia fantástica: This dental office is always timely. They take you in for your dental cleaning etc. at the scheduled appointment time or before, if you arrive a little early. You are in and out in a timely manner. The hygienists is great. She doe an excellent job. Dr. Joe builds rapport with his patients. The receptionist is always very polite. Overall you will have a great dental experience. I am super satisfied.

Experiencia fantástica: The Lakeland Hills staff members are very personable and have done an excellent job taking care of my dental needs. I highly recommend this dental group.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Joe and his staff were kind, compassionate and accommodating when I needed into a dentist urgently before a vacation out of the country. He was able to diagnose the source of my dental sensitivity and put in a filling to treat it during the same appointment. This is almost unheard of for most dentists (including my previous dentist who couldn’t get me in for three weeks), so I really appreciate Dr. Joe taking his time to treat me and keep me at ease during the whole process. My husband and I will certainly be switching to his practice for all of our dental needs. Thanks again, Dr. Joe!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is super nice and supportive. The office is always friendly and engaging.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. The kids and I love the whole Lakeland team and will kiss them when we leave to Nevada.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been a patient of Dr Jankowski for over a year now. After having a previous experience that was not ideal, I was hesitant to find a new dentist that I could trust. Dr Jankowski did some work on my teeth. I like his work as he is a perfectionist! He is friendly, compassionate and very professional. All the staff is extremely friendly, and atmosphere is great. Thank you Dr Jankowski for keeping my family healthy!

Experiencia fantástica: Can’t wait to get back started on my dental work! Absolutely recommend to everyone if you’re looking for a dentist! Such a friendly welcoming atmosphere. They all make you feel so comfortable!

Experiencia negativa: The staff was nice the dentist was very rude, disrespectful and dismissive. I felt very uncomfortable the way he was handling me, pushing on my face and pulling his mirror in my mouth because I wanted other options for my care. I will NEVER come here again.

Experiencia fantástica: Had to have a broken tooth removed that was fixed in the past, it was a fight to get it all out but he did a good job considering how far the roots were in. Down to earth doc. Will go back again. Thanks.

Experiencia negativa: Made My last appointment with in 18hr, Staff told me 11:30. When I showed up they said my appointment was at 11:10 and Dr.Joe was not there. Yet they are charging me for a missed appointment. Clearly a miscommunication and Dr.Joe missed my appointment. PS. Dr Joe even left for lunch early. No need to charge me, did I say he wasn't there.

Experiencia fantástica: I went in for a dental cleaning. I was seen very quickly. The dental hygienist was friendly and very thorough. I will be back in 6 months!

Experiencia fantástica: I am absolutely terrified of the dentist. Dr. Joe and his staff made me comfortable immediately the first time I visited him he did two root canals. The second time was to put the crowns on both times he made me feel completely at ease. Would definitely recommend him to family and friends

Experiencia fantástica: I had a fantastic experience, the whole team was very welcoming and professional, Dr. Jankowski is the best! They explained everything thoroughly to me and I knew exactly what to expect. I highly recommend this office , best in the area!

Experiencia fantástica: I recently visited Dr. Joe to fix a filling, and the experience was exceptional. The office staff was extremely friendly, and Dr. Joe’s expertise and precision in fixing my filling left me completely satisfied. The atmosphere was calming, making the dental visit surprisingly pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Joe for anyone seeking a skilled and personable dentist.

Experiencia fantástica: The doctor and staff are excellent. They treat you like your the most important thing they have to do.
