I had been researching dentists for a while now (putting it off as most of us do), but I called to…read moremake an appointment today as it was an emergency and I was in pain from the night before. Initially, they gave me an opening for 3 days away, but when I explained the situation they made room for me in only 5 hours. I was greeted kindly as I entered on my first visit and offered free water (they don't have to, but it's nice!) and was seen within 5 min (make sure you fill out the online form before the first visit for quick service). I was treated so well, from beginning to end, with an understanding of my pain and making sure I was comfortable throughout the process. They are quite high-tech, which makes it all feel so effortless and efficient, while getting such detailed scans and X-rays as well as a full cleaning. Dr. T explains what needs to be done very clearly and gives you the attention you deserve and plenty of time to think and ask questions while laying out a thoughtful plan. At the end, Jesse further explained the roadmap ahead and stopped frequently to make sure I was understanding everything while standing side-by-side, showing me on-screen how the plan breaks down and what's out-of-pocket versus what your insurance will cover. All in all, I am quite pleased with my experience and am looking forward to taking action. Thank you to the whole staff there and I'll be seeing everyone again soon.

Everyone at the office was so nice and Dr. Julie was extremely patient and thorough in her examination; she suggested sealants on my 7 year old's molars to protect them from cavities (both boys have no cavities - hooray!). No other dentist had ever done anything beyond a cleaning and a perfunctory exam/x-ray, and of course I would like to keep them cavity free for as long as possible. Both of my boys actually enjoyed their visits and sat through it patiently, which is no small feat for a five year old and 7 year old. They also enjoyed the toy treats they each got to select afterwards! In my opinion, there are very few doctors left that take the necessary amount of time and we were very happy to find one who does. Thanks Dr. Julie, we will definitely be back!

They actually get excited about their trip to the dentist. The practice offers various entertainment and incentives for kids including different types of toothpaste to select from. Additionally they put on cartoons above the dentist chair to keep the kids distracted enough to last through the cleaning period. Once they are done, there is a toy box whereby each kid can select a toy/reward for their trip to the dentist. Unfortunately on my recent trip a cavity was found in my son's teeth. Dr. Loren kindly explained what my options were and allowed me time to think and decide the appropriate treatment. I was also provided with flyers of information explaining the options so I can make an informed decision. The front desk staff are also friendly. They helped me with check in, scheduling the next appointment and also explaining my co-pay. Would definitely recommend this place!

I have been taking my son here since he was able 10 years old so I didn't have much to worry about. He is now 14 and loves going here. I decided to take my 2 year old daughter. She's definitely in her terrible 2s lol. She is loud and doesn't like being around alot of people. Thankfully the staff was so kind and patient with her. She absolutely loved it. They handled her so well she didn't fuse, fight or whined. First she was presented with a gift bag and a balloon which totally sold her lol. Then they put on her favorite cartoon on the ceiling TV which also got her attention. She got on her chair and the staff went to work. They were so patient and gentle with her. Soft spoken and just delightful. They even allowed me to take pictures. Then Dr Goldsmith came in and started performing little magic tricks. He to was patient and gentle. He is so professional and very knowledgeable. After brushing her teeth he explained so much stuff to us about her teeth. After he was done he did balloon animals. Right before we left they gave her another goodie bag. My little girl was so excited and left out of there with a big smile on her face. Her first experience was absolutely perfect. We are extremely happy parents and 100% recommend.

Every appointment has been a great experience because she answers every question without making you feel rushed and always makes you feel comfortable from start to finish. I have been going through a year-long dental implant process with Dr. Reddy, and her bedside manner has been exceptional throughout. She is compassionate, considerate, and incredibly relatable, which makes every visit feel much less stressful. From the initial consultation through each stage of treatment, she has taken the time to explain exactly what to expect, answer all of my questions, and make sure I felt comfortable and confident in the process. What could have been an overwhelming experience has been made so much easier because of her patience, kindness, and genuine concern for her patients' well-being. What I appreciate most is her attention to detail. She never cuts corners, always makes sure you understand your options, and genuinely wants the best outcome for her patients. You can tell she takes tremendous pride in her work, and it shows in the quality of care she provides. Beyond being an outstanding dentist, she is a warm, thoughtful, and genuinely amazing person who treats her patients with empathy and respect. As an added bonus, Dr. Reddy is absolutely fabulous and has impeccable style and taste. She is passionate about helping her patients look and feel their best. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dentist they can completely trust.

When we started going to Lumia dental, we were extremely pleased with how friendly and competent…read morethey were. It was an added bonus that this was a female owned and run company (of which alas they are still way too few nowadays). Their patient care is excellent and as far as any dental work is concerned, I would highly recommend them. However, as their business grew and expanded, I was starting to worry about what this would mean for their patients. My worries did eventually come true: from a patient based practice, it turned more into a corporate business, and with it, the desire/need for higher profits. As a result, they decided to no longer accept our insurance (Guardian dental, a major dental insurance company) because, according to them, their low fee schedule did not allow them to provide the best care for their patients. Now, that latter is just rethoric, for they were doing an excellent job. Why would that need to stop? No, it was because Guardians fee schedule did not make them enough profit. The way it works is as follows: a dental practice can determine its own fees for various procedures. An insurance company, through collective bargaining, can then negotiate for a reduced schedule for their clients (depending on the local competition). So, accepting an insurance first and foremost means to agree to the collectively bargained fees. While getting less profit, it means a much larger potential client base. This is the power of collective bargaining (which would be so much more effective if health care in the US would be universal, like it is in many other countries and, as a result, also much affordable). For Lumia, however, loyalty to their patients was not deemed as important as getting more profit (perhaps because of the increased costs of having expanded the business) and so they dropped Guardian as one of the accepted insurances. To give one example: our insurance pays the full fee for a cleaning every 4 months. However, they now raised their fee for a cleaning, making us having to pay more than $100 for something that was previously free. And you can guess that with more involved procedures, the out-of-pocket costs gets up even higher. That is why we had to leave Lumia as clients---essentially being pushed out as not being affluent enough clients that do not mind paying much more than they used to---and we now found an equally competent dental clinic in the neighborhood which does accept our insurance. I can only assume that we will not be the only patients leaving the practice, and in the long run, this might seriously damage Lumia (unless they can find enough wealthy clients in the downtown area).
