    I am new to the area and was reluctant to find a dentist but am so glad I found Independence Family…read moreDentistry to do my crown (2nd time) and filling. It was the best experience at a dentist office I've ever received BY FAR. Dr. Nakhla and his staff at Independence Family Dentistry made this an exceptional experience from start to finish. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted by friendly staff who made me feel comfortable approaching them even though the office was busy (special thanks to Vicki!). I thought I was at a bed and breakfast with how approachable the staff were. The waiting area was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. During my appointment, Dr. Nakhla took the time to thoroughly explain my crown procedure, making sure I understood what to expect and addressing all my concerns with patience and clarity. I initially needed a book for dummies with how clueless I was but his thorough communication made me feel confident to do the procedure myself. The clinic is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, which made my treatment not only quick but also incredibly comfortable. This isn't the first time I'm getting my crown fixed and I told him I wasn't excited about the gummy feeling after doing impressions for crowns- but guess what?! They have a machine that scanned my tooth in the blink of an eye! I felt like I was in a space shuttle with all of the neat equipment. During the crown procedure, I didn't feel any discomfort I normally would have felt. I can't recommend Dr. Nakhla and Independence Family Dentistry highly enough. If you're looking for a dentist who is knowledgeable, caring, and dedicated to providing top-notch dental care, look no further. Dr. Nakhla, is without a doubt, the best dentist I have ever visited, and I will definitely come back!

    I ignored the red flags & reviews because they were "in-network" with my insurance. Turns out, they…read moredidn't even take my insurance. My first appointment, someone made the wrong type of appointment for me and after I sat around for 40 minutes, was told I'd have to come back another time. Never even saw the dentist. Then when I finally did get seen, an assistant removed my permanent retainer and said I'd have my permanent retainer in 2-3 days, dentist popped his head in to "meet me" and didn't even say 2 words. After I called them repeatedly after more than a week, I FINALLY got to pick up my retainer and it's disgusting. Looks like someone else has already worn it instead of brand new. Save your time & your money, and go elsewhere.

    This is the first official healthcare provider I found on my own ... and anyone who's just gotten…read moretheir own insurance and started digging through providers can attest to why I feel proud of that! Although I don't live in Independence, this Mortenson location had the soonest available appointments when I was booking, and I don't mind a short drive if it means I don't have to wait two months for a teeth cleaning. Scheduling my appointment online was quick and easy - I've done it twice now with no issues. The office itself is simple to access in a strip mall type setting, and exceptionally clean inside. At both of my last two appointments, I was in and out in 45 minutes! The technicians are efficient, kind, and incredibly thorough, and Dr. Thurman was friendly as well. He answered all of my questions conversationally, instead of using a lot of doctor jargon, as many medical professionals do. I plan to continue visiting this Mortenson Family Dental location as long as I'm living in Northern Kentucky!

    I went to Dr. Thurman because I had a bad tooth, I was x-rayed and then he came in the room, didn't…read moreseem friendly at all and after a very brief examination of my tooth, he said I needed to go to a specialist because I had periodontal disease. That was it! No help even though I was in pain. He gave me the name of a specialist and I left. I got home and called the specialist and was told that I would meet with the specialist for an interview no service just to meet me and get my history and it would cost $225!!!! Needless to say, I did not make an appointment. I then went to a Dentist my son liked and found out that I did not have Periodontal disease at all! She x-rayed my tooth and said it looked like it needed to be surgically removed and sent me to a Dental surgeon who found it to be cracked, removed it and now I am finally out of pain. It is obvious that Dr. Thurman just wanted to get rid of me. I would not recommend him at all.
