We were looking for a new dentist after moving to the Chandler area and were excited that this office offers online booking, perfect for busy families who don't have time to sit on the phone with a receptionist scrolling through a calendar we can't see. We booked a new patient exam and cleaning, completed all the paperwork online, and then the morning of the appointment received a text saying our 8:00 a.m. appointment was canceled. They blamed it on a known system glitch that they apparently haven't fixed yet and the next available appointment wasn't for another month. The entire point of online booking is convenience for patients. If the office is aware of an ongoing issue but hasn't resolved it, the inconvenience falls entirely on the patient, turning what should be a simple process into a hassle. This completely defeats the purpose of online booking and made for a very poor first impression. If you need a reliable, dependable scheduling system because your time matters, you should avoid this office. read more

Wow! What a great dental practice. Everyone was so nice and welcoming. Dr Higgs was so kind and he took the time to get to know me and shared about himself and family, loved that. I was also impressed by all the latest technology that they have. So glad I came here and all thanks to Yelp since that is always my go to in finding great businesses. read more

This is the best dentist office ever! Dr Higgs and his staff are all wonderful, professional and truly top notch. Every single thing is explained carefully. All questions answered and every attempt is made to create a pleasant experience for patients. I've been to many dentists, but I actually look forward to seeing Dr. Higgs and his staff. read more

Couldn't be happier with this office. Dr Max Shumake and the staff are friendly, explain things clearly, very knowledgeable and do great work. read more

It's been a long time coming and I'm shocked I haven't wrote a review by now! Dr. Higgs and his staff have been some of the best people to work with over the years. My husband and daughter both go here as well. Unfortunately, since I have a rare tooth disease I visit the dentist more than the average person and the amount of bad experiences I've had with other dentists out weigh the good. I've tested out an embarrassing amount of dentists on both the east and west side, but this place is the only one I've never had a single bad experience. Injections are pain free and Dr. Higgs crowns are the only ones left in my mouth (the rest other dentists did and they had to be pulled). He's definitely not a "salesman" and he never tries to burn a hole in my pocket. All the procedures are necessary and he's been direct several times if I've asked for something that might not be wise. But really, the no pain is where he stands above the rest. As for the staff I'm not sure who does hiring, but they obviously have a good read on people. I've never worked with anyone there I didn't like or felt was "off" or rude. The front desk knows their billing (many offices don't) and the hygienists are some of the sweetest gals I've met in the medical field. I really can't say enough about this office and the staff, it's been an easy ride for me and I'll continue to work with them in the future. read more

The clinic is impeccably clean and operates with a high level of professionalism. Our entire family has been coming here for our dental check-ups, and each time we are consistently impressed by the attentive and thorough care we receive from dental hygeinis Emily and Dr.Higgs and Dr.Max . They take the time to ensure that every aspect of our dental health is addressed, making each visit a positive experience. We truly appreciate the dedication and expertise they bring to their work, which is why we continue to trust them with the dental care of our entire family. read more

See all

Dr.Higgs and all of his staff are outstanding as my teeth have never felt better since started going here 13 years ago. They all go above and beyond to treat you special. I would highly recommend to any one. read more

If you're afraid of going to the dentist, I highly recommend Aquila Dental. I had a really horrible experience with previous dental places. Dr. Higgs and his staff are super friendly. When I first walked into his office, my hands were clammy, and I was very anxious; I even wanted to walk out. Josie sat me down, reassured me, and explained the X-ray procedure, which was a big help. When I met Dr. Higgs, my anxiety kicked in, but he was sweet and understanding. He explained the situation thoroughly without judgment or a sales pitch. I also met Emily, their dental hygienist, who was friendly and didn't make me feel weird about the condition of my mouth. I highly recommend this place to anyone with fears of visiting a dental office. read more

The staff and Dr Higgs are very friendly, concerned about you and your teeth, and professional. He was very gentle while working on a tooth with a cavity. I didn't feel any pain. I'll need a root canal on the #3 tooth and I'm a little nervous but I know Dr Higgs will be gentle. Highly recommend Aquila Dental! read more

If you want to be sold a time share in dentistry, go here. My husband went in for tooth pain and to get a cleaning. He left without a cleaning, and no one addressed his tooth pain. But he did leave with a list and price sheet of services they can provide; Invisalign, sleep apnea device. etc. read more

I was having tooth pain and my regular dentist was not in. Aquila was able to see me the same day and Dr Shoemake was able to diagnose me and get me over to a endodontics practice right away. Great job! Swapping dental practice to them. read more

This office is so nice and everyone here is very welcoming and kind. My first visit here they made me feel super comfortable and walked me through everything. Definitely recommend... all around great service & staff! read more

Staff was friendly and respectful. My issue was with the female doctor and one of the hygienist. Dr Leedy seems nice and friendly during introduction; however, when asked about my daughter's xray, she claimed that she went to dental school to be able to see the xray, implying my inability to see due to my lack of schooling. She knew nothing about me as I was a new patient. She promised to go into further details explaining my daughter's cavities, but proceeded in saying she already taken too much of her time. It was less than a 5-minute conversation. All I wanted was to see the visible problem areas, so when I help my daughter with brushing, I could spot red flags. She felt as if I didn't trust her superior judgment, which was not the case. Another issue was with my husband. The hygienist performed a cleaning procedure that cost 5x the regular copay. She never warned him, just proceeded with cleaning and slapped him with a surprisingly high bill at the end, all the while trying to sell products ranging from electric toothbrush to mouthwash. I left a message wanting to speak to Dr Leedy about my husband's condition and further treatment, but I never got a call back. Suffice to say, I am not coming back and will not refer this dental office to anyone. read more

This is strictly for the atmosphere and professionalism as I did not have any type of dental work completed. I had to stop here for a errand and by all indications I have not met a more wonderful staff in any medical/dental office I've ever been to. Rita was a lovely woman and immediately greeted me as I entered. She immediately got the stunning Kimberly to graciously guide me the few steps to talk to Sandy. Sandy seemed to be the oracle of the office and had a very pleasant conversation with her. I encountered a few other staff members and all were incredibly welcoming and seemed to have a family atmosphere about the place. And they all had perfect teeth, which I have not seen at other dentists offices I have been to in the far past, so they obviously practice what they preach. I am not a fan of doctor's or dentists but I would definitely consider coming here for dental work. The place was spotless, welcoming and a very positive energy emanated from this place making me think I should change my negative view on dentist offices, which says a lot as I'm very steadfast in my stubborn ways. read more

I've been going to Aquila dental for years and the service they provide for teeth cleaning are excellent. Dawnie has such a good attitude and great dexterity when performing her work. I never worry I'm going to get jabbed or pinched when she's working on me. The office staff is friendly and considerate. Dr. Higgs has made wonderful recommendations for my family and though I live 12 miles away I continue to come here because they have such a good team. read more

It pains me to give this dentist a 4 they deserve a 4.9. Dr. Higgs and his team are amazing! They are so gentle and caring! The only thing that I found a pain was the fact that they don't open Fridays this leaves little flexibility for work life balance. In terms of dental service itself though they are top notch. I updated this review to reflect the fact that they now open Fridays, yay love this place! read more

Today is the big day for me! I've been waiting so long for this day. I met with Dr Higgs about a year and a half ago with teeth in really bad shape due to excessive whitening and other issues. Dr Higgs said he can help however I would need to wear braces to create spacing and room for new teeth so he referred me to Dr Blacker. During wearing my braces I needed my wisdom teeth extracted and a root canal. Finally 3 weeks ago Dr Higgs did 5 additional root canals to help with sensitivity and to create rebar's . He also prepped my teeth and I left with temporary teeth. Today is the day that I finally get my new smile. This is such a life changing procedure and I have been completely blessed to be in the hands of Dr Higgs and his staff. I can't thank them enough for the care, love and support they've given me! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Higgs for 15+ years. Cannot say enough about the great work and care shown by him and his staff. Would highly recommend to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr Higgs, you take the fear out of dentistry. read more

Amazing dentist. I've been to a few in my life and they are by far the most knowledgeable and kind. They always make my appointments quick and easy while they get to know me. I have always loved Mary as my hygienist but since my schedule changed I've seen Debbie and she is also wonderful. They always have such a great staff. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Higgs and his team for about a year now for routine maintenance and have recently begun a cosmetic procedure. Because of the level of customer service, the quality of care and expertise that has consistently been provided, I have brought over my entire family to Aquila Dental. We are so thankful to have found Dr. Higgs and his crew, and we appreciate their dedication to taking care of their customers! read more

Today was my first appointment here, and all I can say is WOW! The office is gorgeous, very modern with fun techy gadgets. I was introduced to Brittany who would be my hygienist. I have not had a cleaning in years so to say I was slightly apprehensive would be an understatement. Brittany was thorough, knowledgeable and gentle. I also had the pleasure of meeting both Dr. Higgs and Dr. Leedy. Both were outgoing, took time to answer all my questions and told me they can do my crowns the same day! What!?!? I found my dental office for life! Thank you Aquila ! read more

This office is amazing! I have never been to a dental office as clean and professional as Aquila Dental. The staff make you feel like family. I highly recommend this office to everyone! read more

The best dental place. Staff so friendly, great service. Always on time. I see Mary for cleaning, love her. Dr Highs is the best. Would definitely recommend. Both my husband and I come to this dentistry. read more

I recently had a filling fall out on one of my front teeth and wanted to get it replaced quickly. Other dentists I called wanted to take me in give me a full exam then take care of my issue. Thankfully, Aquila saw that my need was a bit urgent and fit me in the following day. Walking into Aquila was such a delightful surprise! The lobby is comfortable and inviting, the staff is so friendly and helpful and Dr. Higgs is a true pro. He got me in, fixed me up and sent me on my way. This is how I always thought a dentist should be! Thanks Dr. Higgs and staff... you are awesome and will be telling everyone about my great experience. read more

I recently switched over to Aquila Dentistry after my dentist retired. The entire staff is amazing. Today, I had a crown and filing done. I was out of the office in 1 1/2 hours and I do not need to return because they made the crown right in the office! Dr. Higgs did a great job. The office is beautiful and equipped with advance technology. I would highly recommend Aquila Dentistry to anyone looking for a great dental office. A+ read more

Dr Higgs and staff have been excellent. Been with him going on 5 years.. very caring professional second to none

Great office!! State of the art equipment and procedures. Everyone is friendly and professional. From the minute you walk in until the time you leave, you feel welcome and cared for. read more

Today was the first visit with Dr. Higgs and his staff. The office is welcoming and nicely decorated. The receptionist was friendly and efficient. I didn't wait long before Emily, my hygienist greeted me and took me to a dental cubicle with a comfy chair. She really took time to get to know me and listened to my concerns. Emily was kind, gentle and very professional. She did a great job cleaning my teeth, taking x-rays, and always checking in with me to be sure I was having a good experience and to answer any questions I had. Next, I met with Dr. Higgs who was very personable and made me feel comfortable. He took a look at my teeth and asked if I had questions. We decided we would meet virtually to see different options and procedures to achieve my dental goals. The entire experience was really fabulous. read more

Fantastic experience. They are delicate and kind. Nearly painless experience considering I had a "deep cleaning." The staff is wonderful to work with and easy to communicate with. Customer for life. Thank you so much. read more

I am seriously so thankful for Aquila Dental! I have not been the best at keeping up with my dental appointments through the years which made me anxious about going to the dentist, but when I woke up with a toothache I knew I needed to find a dentist ASAP. Luckily, I was able to get in at Aquila Dental later that day. The staff was SO kind and welcoming! Dr. Higgs performed quite a bit of dental work in one sitting,and he made sure that I was comfortable the entire time. I'm so appreciative for the whole office staff! They helped me conquer my fear of the dentist! read more

Most people don't like going to the dentist and I am no different, but as soon as I went for the 1st time today, I felt so comfortable. The entire staff and Dr. Higgs made me feel at ease. I am not looking forward to the work I have to have done, but I know I am in good hands. The doctor did say something to me that resonated with me. He can take care of my teeth, but I have to do my part at home. I agreed with him and I wasn't doing my part and will do a better job. I will have my work done starting next week and I feel okay about it now. read more

Love this dental office. All of the staff are friendly and helpful! Had to get my first root canal and I was nervous. Dr. Browning(Leedy) and Jan did an awesome job! I had no pain throughout the entire thing. Next day and my mouth is in no pain at all! I would recommend this place every time! read more

I have known Dr. Higgs for a long time. He has cared for my teeth over the past 10 years and made every procedure quite comfortable. I've had enough dental work in my lifetime to confidently say, Dr. Higgs has gentle yet proficient hands. He has surrounded himself with an absolutely professional staff. Mary, Sandy, Kim all take good care of myself, wife and two kids. I would recommend this office highly. Now go book yourself an appointment and enjoy. read more

Every employee is so nice and caring. If you have anxiety going to the dentist then you need to go to this place. When I first started going there I was a shaking nervous mess. Now I am able to go to the dentist with easy because of their support. read more

Wonderful staff and a welcoming office! Everyone was very attentive and friendly. I found my dentist Dr. Leedy!! She is thorough in explaining things and so down to earth, she really spent the time to make sure I was informed on my mouth. read more

I was given Dr. Higgs contact from my boss and I couldn't be happier! They are so polite and caring at this office. I have since been bringing my daughters there for treatment. Dr. Higgs himself even walked me to the waiting room and offered me water when I was about to faint watching my daughter get an extraction! :) Highly recommended! Cherie Moore read more

I never had dental anxiety until a few years ago with a different dental office. So I waited longer then I should have to find another place to go. On a referral from a friend I made an appointment, I have to say, as soon as I walked in I felt at ease. Before my first exam they gave me a tour, showed me their weighted blankets, their neck pillows and sunglasses. When I got to my room I had a gift bag in my chair, which is exactly what they do there. They treat everyone with care and compassion! I definitely recommend this office for any and all dental work. I honestly can't say enough! Thanks to all their friendly staff! read more
