I found this dentist office through Yelp and the awesome reviews were spot on! :) Dr Amy and Kristen were great! Dr Amy was so attentive and didn't try to "sell" me on anything like other dentists in the past have. She has a genuine interest in your smile, health and helping you save money. Most "new patient appointments" are simply the x-rays, poking and prodding but they did all of the exam PLUS the cleaning all at the same appointment. To me, this was awesome and made the most sense instead of just scheduling to come back yet again just for the cleaning which is what most other dentists have done in the past in my experience. In addition, I was able to watch "Friends" while getting my cleaning done with headphones on so I could zone out and not try to not make eye contact/have an awkward drooly conversation while they are in your mouth. Side note, why is it that dentists want to ask you questions when they are all in your mouth? Ha! :) That really helped take the ease off and made it a much more pleasant experience. "Friends" makes everything better after all ;) I would highly recommend Dr Amy to everyone- super nice, professional and helpful. PS- See Dr Amy, told you I would write and happy to do so! Keep up the good work! read more

I have a terrible amount of childhood dental work that needs to be redone - definitely a painful and frightening endeavor! I'm always shaking with fear before I get to the office, but the staff remember and are very comforting! Denise is the hygienist who cleaned my teeth - can you believe that it was actually PLEASANT?! She was so kind, informative, and reassuring. As well, Dr. Amy and her staff, (Ashley, Maria, Gina, Laurie, and the main woman with cropped hair - she's the BEST and I forgot her name!) are the reason I am willing to face my fears and address my wisdom teeth. I just had my extraction completed last week and I couldn't be more grateful. My expectations were set, I received thorough information before, during, and after. I sometimes feel like I'm speaking with close family when I interact with the team - they always have MY best interest at heart and have always remembered how nervous and frightened I am. Ashley has helped me giggle through the anxiety and told me how proud she was after the procedure. I genuinely love this staff! This is an office who provides EXCELLENT dental support as well as amazing client relationships (a.k.a. emotional support!). Thank you, Dr Okun. I already feel more proud of my smile. read more

Overall, the people are friendly, and my dental hygienist was really very good. However, the reason for the low score is the COST they charge for a cleaning is absolutely ridiculous: $231! The cleaning is $112 and then they charged another $119 for the dentist to come in, look in my mouth for maybe 2 minutes, say I need a cap, and leave. In other dental clinics, the quick exam by the doc is included in the cleaning. The previous dentist I went to charged $89 for cleaning, exam and x-rays. What Okun charges is far more expensive than what my mother paid in Los Angeles! Then, what's even worse, they have this "deal" where you pay $39 a month for two cleanings a year, which is $468, MORE than paying for the two cleanings individually. Some "deal"! If you are rich, and want to spend nearly $500 a year for a couple of dental cleanings, this is your clinic. For me, I'm moving on. PS: average cost for a crown in the Valley is $1200. Cost at Okun: $1785. read more

I initially chose Okun Dentistry because they had office hours on Saturday's to fit my work schedule. The entire staff in the office is efficient, cognizant of my time and friendly! Dr. Styskal is awesome!! I recommend him to my family and friends all the time. I had my first consult with Dr. Owtad for Invisalign, which I'm excited to begin. It's not very often people leave their dentist office content, aware of next steps and happy after each appointment. These guys know what they're doing and they will take care of you! read more

Outstanding staff & dentists. Just started seeing Dr. Amy Okun in 2012. She took over for her father Bruce, which my Mom (God Bless her Soul) took me as a child starting in 1971. Why change success? Today my Dad and I both had appointments and we both left completely satisfied with our treatments. And kudos to Gina, she's the best! read more

I have been going to this dentist for a few years now, and it's hand down the best dentist I've been to! I even got my husband to come here! The staff are kind, on time, and very honest. read more

I am so happy I found this place, I'm like most people the dentist can be a daunting and uncomfortable task however from the moment you place your appointment to when your leaving the office they treat you like family and really look out for the welfare of your teeth while providing you a comforting and relaxed environment. Thank you! read more

Besides having my wisdom teeth removed four years ago (even then I felt like I was at a used car dealership), I haven't seen a dentist in at least 14 years, maybe more. I have significant anxiety over dentists to the point I would rather have every finger broken with a hammer while watching than go see the dentist. I would brush and floss multiple times a day just to put off the inevitable dentist visit. I read positive reviews and decided it was time to stop being a sissy. These guys are awesome from the first step in the door to exam to cleaning. Wonderful office. Thank you so much read more

One of the best dental experiences I have ever had in my life! It is a father daughter duo. My wife sees Bruce Okun, and I see Amy Okun. We are both always happy to go to get our teeth cleaned or whatever else we need because the office is so nice, and the employees are so competent. Their dental hygienist is absolutely the best one I have ever had. She actually convinced me to floss every day, and I do! She did it by carefully explaining the benefits, and helping me to realize that it will actually cut down the amount of time I have to spend getting teeth cleaned (i am usually in and out in under 45 minutes, thanks to their efficiency and my obsession with flossing). The office itself is very nice (recently remodeled). Apparently they have built in music and movies for you to watch while you are getting drilled, but I haven't been drilled here, so someone else will need to confirm. If I did need a good drilling, this is where I'd go to get it done. I love you Okun Dentistry! And I'll miss you now that my dental insurance has changed. read more

I have been going here throughout my entire life. The staff is very warm and welcoming and Dr. Okun is just awesome. It has a nice family dynamic making you feel very welcome walking through the door. read more

We have been with Amy for almost 20 years. This year our children decided to move us to Oregon where our son lives because my husband was showing signs of early onset dementia. The first thing I heard when we arrived at our Assisted Living facility was "You have a movie star's smile." The compliment came from a young woman who was visiting her grandmother. You can't imagine what this meant to a person who rarely smiled in her youth because she was ashamed of her teeth. When I met Amy I was middle-aged and old fillings were falling out and new cavities were coming in. The first thing I learned about Amy is she does not believe in pain. It is not allowed in her office. The second thing I learned is she will not do any work she believes is unnecessary. If there's a questionable spot on the X-ray she'll say "We'll keep an eye on it." The third thing I learned--to my delight--is she LISTENS to her patients. She explains. She and her staff make you feel at home. read more

We love it here! We used to live in Tempe that's how we found Okun Dentistry, we moved to the other side of town a few years ago but have continued to come here to get our teeth cleaned and whatever else we need. Clean offices and very friendly staff. read more

You know that nervous apprehensive feeling you and your family get when visiting the Dentist? We don't. My family and I have been patients of Okun Dentistry for years. I've been a patient for 35+ years. From motorcycle accidents to sports related accidents to routine cleanings Dr. Bruce and Dr. Amy have rebuilt my smile. I sincerely thank them both for that. What I enjoy the most is the fact that my wife and children feel as comfortable going to the Dentist as I do. We enjoy the friendly familiar faces from front to back. From Teri in the front office promptly and professionally greeting you to the friendly hygienists the service is consistently amazing. As a Father Daughter practice they complement each other seamlessly. You and your family are in great hands with either Dr. Bruce or Dr. Amy. We wouldn't go anywhere else. The Maerling Family...... read more

I have been a patient for over 10 years at Okun Dentistry and have ultimate confidence in Dr Amy Okun, Patsy my fantastic hygienist, and today was also helped by very friendly and competent assistant, Tore. All wonderful staff that greets you when you enter and so professional on the phone when you need to call in for help of any kind. Dr Amy Okun is so kind and determined to help you with whatever your dental needs may be. I highly recommend them! Love the process of getting the 3D Crown recently, very quick and efficient. THANKS everyone at OKUN! Teresa S, Chandler, AZ read more

So far so good. I took my son here for a check-up. First impressions are lasting. The staff members were friendly and helpful. I really like the modern lobby. It's a relaxing place to wait. It was great having the doctor come to the lobby and explain what was going on with my college age son. Just a note: the office building is east of the strip mall on the north side of the street in building B. read more

My family has seen Dr. Okun or Dr. Styskal for over 20 years. They take great care of their patients and are just all-around great people. Gina is the best! read more

This is the best dentist clinic I have ever been to. Everyone is so kind and always make you feel so welcome. They are very patient with you as well if you need to take your time with your procedure. I'm never going anywhere else! Thank you Dr. Amy, Ellen, Beth, Tori, Dr. Irina and all the amazing girls there! read more

Great office overall. Dr Amy and Dr Styskal are amazing and the office has a wonderful staff! Gina at the front is always welcoming evening at 8 am! Highly recommend Okun! read more

I'm moving out of state and I can't leave without reviewing Okun Dentistry, where I've received quality care for 15 years. Dr. Amy and the now-retired Dr. Bruce have always been wonderful and caring, and recently I saw Dr. Styskal, who is just as competent and kind as they are. Luckily I've only had a minor amount of work done--a crown replacement and one filling--over the years, but the care I've received has always been excellent. The hygienists have routinely been excellent as well. I've never minded going to the dentist, but even if you do you can't go wrong here. Highly recommended practice with a wonderful and skilled staff. read more

Amazing dentist that I was referred to by a friend and I'm never leaving. Thank you to everyone at Okun dental for your amazing customer service and for creating such a comfortable environment. read more

Amy Okun, DDS is an amazing woman and caring dentist! My spouse was suffering with an extreme tooth ache and the office gave him a speedy appointment! Amy determined he required a referral to an endodontic specialist! Amy assured my husband she would make certain he was out of pain by days end! He left the office with an appointment for later in the day! On the way home the specialist's office called and asked him to come right in! He had pain relief by early afternoon. He experienced quality care by the specialist! Amy obviously has a rapport with those specialists she uses for referrals! We are exceedingly grateful to Amy Okun! Our positive dental experiences over many years with Bruce Okun, DDS continues with his lovely daughter! read more

I'll give you the #1 reason to use Okun Dentistry and Dr. Amy Okun as your chosen dentist: Bedside Manner. Look, there is post after post on Okun's website and other dentist how great they are, however you aren't going to find many, if at all, that speak to a doctor's amazing bedside manner. Amy Okun is incredible! She really is invested in her patients. The best part, she loves people and this is evident in her demeanor and bedside manner. My last visit to see Dr. Amy was a couple of weeks ago when she gave me my "perfect" smile. I'd been her patient for 4 years at this point. She never pressured me and left the decision up to me. When I would bring up my consideration, she was very catering and compassionate. She made promises and delivered on them 100 x over. I make the 30 min drive to see her because she is simply "worth it." Welcome to your new dentist: Dr. Amy Okun! Megan read more

This review is waaaaay overdue! I have been going to Okun Dentistry since the early 80's-- in fact, they are the only dental practice that my family has used since we moved to Arizona and I would not have changed that for anything. Dr. Bruce Okun has always been a wonderful dentist, and several years ago, his daughter, Amy, followed in his footsteps. Six months ago, I finally got up the nerve to replace a front crown that I had had since I was 16 years old! With my daughter's wedding approaching, I decided it was time to improve my smile by whitening my teeth and then getting a new crown to match. I was quite nervous about the whole process, but through it all, Dr. Amy and the entire staff were beyond amazing. They went out of their way to meet with me several times during the at-home whitening process, and on the day of the procedure, everyone showed me so much caring and compassion, and truly put me at ease. Dr. Amy is a perfectionist and even sent me to the custom color lab specialist twice to ensure an exact match. I couldn't be more satisfied with the results. They are just a wonderful practice and I am so appreciative for all the years of excellent care they have given to me and my family. read more

I love my new Dentist! Dr. Okun was very nice and only told me to floss 2 times (normally I get scolded like 5-6 times). The staff was very friendly and it was a very quick xrays and teeth cleaning! Best part about this Dentistry is that they are open Saturdays- as in, I do not have to miss work!!! I am excited to call Okun Dentistry my new home for dental needs! read more

I cannot recommend the staff here enough. Everyone I have seen here have be friendly, knowledgeable and happy to let you know all your options - no scare tatics here. They will lay out all your choices with pros an cons, look up price estimstes and do not pressure you into anything you aren't ready for or don't want to do. From someone who dreads going to the dentist, Okun is far superior in service and skills to other places I have been here. I wouldn't ever want to change dentists! read more

New to the area and was looking for a new dentist. So thankful to have found Okun Dentistry. I had a wonderful experience with my hygienist and Dr. Amy! read more

I was referred to Dr. Okun by a co-worker and must say I'm glad she referred me! The location is convenient and the office is clean and modern looking. The staff was very helpful and nice. I went in for my regular 6 month cleaning and got to watch The Office while they worked. X-rays were taken fairly quickly and I was out within 30 or so minutes! My previous dentist office was less than subpar so I'm looking forward to coming here in the future! read more

Amy okun is so professional and love how help staff is. Been going for 15 years. Always love that it's as painless as possible

Dr Amy and the staff at Okun Dentistry are absolutely wonderful!! I got their information from Yelp and decided to call for an appointment. So far I've had a cleaning and cavities filled. Both appointments were actually great exeperiences, and yes I realize I'm writing about a dentist! First off, everyone is super friendly and always trying to make you comfortable. I was offered music or sitcoms during my cleaning, I unfortunately turned them down out of being speechless! The cleaning went well, they thoroughly explained to me how to brush and the problem areas that I needed to reach better. I ended up back a few weeks later for some cavity fillings, yet another surprisingly pleasant experience. I ended up needing a root canal in a molar I barely use due to having no tooth opposite it. Dr. Amy gave me options to either do the root canal, or pull the tooth. She made it clear she is not a fan of pulling teeth, but in my financial situation she would understand if I pulled it and support my decision. I needed a root canal on a tooth I use 100% so I took the option to pull it, and she most definitely followed through with her promise to support me. After mine went so well I took my 4 year old daughter for the first time! They spoke to her like she was grown, which I loved. Baby talk doesn't fly in my house! They asked her questions and also showed her how to brush. They really respected her as a patient even though she is only 4! During her cleaning, they had put on cartoons for her. They brought out a huge stack of movies to allow my daughter to pick one. The entire time she was being worked on, she made no noises, arguments, or even movements! I could tell she was uncomfortable, but between the cartoons and Dr Amy's caring and comforting hands and words, she was extremely relaxed. And of course she loved the goody bag at the end of the appointment! (Of course no candy goodies, it is the dentist!) On top of the amazing treatment, the receptionist is also a huge help! She talked to me about my pending insurance charges, the future charges, and what I should do so I don't get stuck with an out of pocket bill. She helped me add my benefits up to see what I could do within my allowance from my insurance. The last dentist I saw never did this and I ended up with a $700 bill for going over my benefits. I spent time on the phone at Okun and figured it out with her so that I do not end up surprised with a bill I can't afford to pay. Breaking it down, it's the dentist. It is never any fun. But Okun Dentistry gets 5 stars (would give more if I could). They are aware that it usually isn't pleasant and at every turn they are going out of their way to make you as comfortable as possible! By far the best dentist I have ever had, hands down, from every angle! My husband starts going next week... read more

The only thing better than finding a fantastic dentist is finding TWO of them... under the same roof! Both Dr. Okuns are fabulous providers: thorough, personable, and very good at what they do. I came in with a chipped tooth which Dr. Bruce Okun was able to smooth out perfectly without using any bonds, fillers, etc. It looks perfect. Dr. Amy Okun performed my next exam. She was every bit as knowledgeable and professional as Dr. Bruce Okun. The staff is always helpful and accommodating, the office is very well appointed, and the cost is reasonable. Check them out for sure. read more

I'm familiar with the OSHA/sterilization standards for dentist offices, and as a patient I've seen frequent violations here, from one hygienist in particular. Examples include her touching her latex gloves to the back of her head before putting them on (without realizing it, as she adjusted her mask), and handling (bare-handed) tools/attachments to be used in-mouth, after touching other non-sanitized surfaces. When I've politely pointed out the issues I've noticed (on multiple visits) and requested an extra hand-wash, fresh gloves, etc., I've received defensiveness and denials, with accounts of what had happened that, plain and simple, were not what I had personally witnessed with my own eyes just moments prior. Attempts to talk my concerns away instead of responsibly addressing them, just make me more concerned. In my view, my dentist office should be -more- aware and strict about health code violations than their patients, not less. read more

Great front desk staff. Super friendly and welcoming! I can't wait to go back. Amazing environment that is great for all ages. I highly recommend this dentistry read more

Love, love Okun Dentistry! First Dr Bruce and now daughter Amy! The front desk staff are so welcoming! She's brought her own flare and the latest technology. Patsie our dental hygienist is so very thorough! We've been coming here 34 years and would not even consider another dental office! D read more

This place is amazing! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming, and they offer complementary coffee and water. Apart from that, the place looked very clean and neat. People working there are true professionals who seem very knowledgeable and experienced. They will take time to explain things to you, describe what your options are, and in general give you useful advice on how to keep your teeth healthy. This morning I had a cleaning appointment, and not only it went very smoothly, I also received a complementary toothbrush and floss at the end of the appointment. I highly recommend this place, because people who work there make sure you have the best experience possible. read more

Okun Dentistry is the most wonderful dentist office I've ever been to. They are so attentive and honest. I was recommended by a friend and am so happy I tried them. I won't go anywhere but here! Highly recommend! D read more

I have been a patient for years. I love this dentist they are honest and willing to work with you. Hygienists are always careful and fast

As a new resident in Tempe, I went to Yelp to find a new dentist. I saw overwhelming positive reviews for Okun and was not disappointed. They were able to get me in quickly without any headaches. Upon arrival, they were really friendly and I barely waited 10 minutes to see the doctor. They were very thorough with me as a new patient and welcoming. I walked away feeling confident about the dental services. I'll definitely be returning for my 6 months cleaning! read more

I've been going to this dentist for 8 years. They are such a friendly knowledgeable staff. I absolutely love them. Give them a call if you need a new dentist you won't regret it. These ladies are so kind! read more

From the standalone stylized sign out front, to the well-appointed waiting area, Okun Dentistry is a class act. I met Bruce Okun IRL (in real life) and through our conversation, I found out he is a dentist. After he asked, I sheepishly admitted it had been about 4 years since a cleaning, and I always put it off trying to fit it into my schedule. He was very sweet but insistent. I really felt it was not just for his business, he was personally interested in having me in for a visit. I was excited! After some discussion over the phone, I found out he didn't take my insurance, but his daughter Amy did. On arriving, the receptionist was very friendly and while handling a few calls, acknowledged me and got me my forms between calls. Terri took me back to the area that I would get my work done. I was very impressed with all of the facilities. The complex the office is located in is older, maybe 1960s I would guess, but you wouldn't know it from the inside of Okun Dentistry. While taking X-rays, I asked Terri about the mouthpiece I was biting down on before each shot. She told me it was the film, and the x-rays were being taken digitally. Then she turned on a monitor and I was able to watch each x-ray come on screen. She told me this process reduced the radiation and it was so quick. She also took the chance to suggest better ways to remember flossing. Dr. Amy Okun came into the room after the x-rays were done and she was very friendly and polite. Briefly looking at my intake form I had filled out when I got there, she asked if I was local. We found out we had some overlap in our lives (she went to high school with my older siblings) and throughout the cleaning we chatted about things. It definitely took my mind of the sound and feeling of metal as it scrapped along my teeth. She teased that my teeth are boring and that I didn't need any work at all. She complimented me on my oral hygiene and my set of chompers (my words, not hers). Okun dentistry is a delight. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. read more
