I have been going to Dr. Kunthara for 3 years, and I don’t mind the extra drive from Phoenix, because that’s how great she is. She doesn’t treat you as just a patient, but rather a friend, and listens to your opinions about the health of your mouth and teeth. She still does training for herself and her staff to make sure they always have updated information, which keeps her office at the top of its game. No two visits are ever the same, as the team continues to learn and grow as dental professionals in Mesa, AZ. The service is great and everyone is very kind. Dr. Kunthara even gives her personal cell phone number for after-hours. If I ever have a dental emergency I can call her at any time. Anyone who needs a dentist or is looking for a change should come here.

I was a little nervous when my previous dentist in Mesa sold his business, but after being Dr. Nia’s patient for a couple of years now all my fears have gone away. He is very thorough in helping you understand every dental procedure. Appointments are easy to make around my work schedule. I never have to wait once I get there, and the staff is very personal. They treat you well. It’s always easy at this place because they offer the doctors network program, which makes it much more affordable to get dental work done compared to billing and other dental insurance in Mesa, AZ, which can sometimes be a headache. I really love this dentist in Mesa, and I recommend him to everyone.

My family has been going to Able Dental for about 2 years now, and we truly love it. As someone who used to work for a dentist in Phoenix, I feel as though I have enough knowledge to make an educated recommendation, and I would give this place 6 stars if I could. We have seen multiple dentists and hygienists here, and while they’re all wonderful I have to give Dr. Muscato a particular shout out, she rocks. Every visit is awesome, they truly take care of their patients here. (Even when my 8 year old son was throwing a fit). All of the staff are easy to talk to and professional. They have the latest technology to ensure you’re getting the best dental care. We never have to wait long in the waiting room, they’re very punctual. Their staff makes billing easy, even when we had questions regarding the dental plan. I can’t imagine going anywhere else.

Thus far, I love Thomas & Thomas Dental. From the receptionist to Dr. Thomas himself, everyone really wanted to help me. I had a horrible toothache for about two weeks and was losing my mind. After seeing some great reviews on Doctors Network, I gave them a call. I desperately needed help, but I didn’t have dental insurance or an appointment. The receptionist just told me to come on in, and they’d see me on the spot. Turns out, I had a root canal on the problem tooth, so he gave me some antibiotics to see if that would help. By day two, the pain started to subside, and I started feeling so much better. They were so sweet. They didn’t even charge me anything, and before I left, I booked an appointment for a cleaning and checkup. This is the friendliest team I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. They’re patient-focused, not money-focused. If you live in Phoenix, AZ give them a shot - I drive a long ways to see them, but it’s so worth it!

I didn’t have dental insurance for a while, so I hadn’t been to the dentist in years. The staff at Adrian Pulkrabek DDS in Glendale was fantastic and very careful. They filled my cavity with the white filling instead of the old-fashioned silver filling, which actually sets differently. They also filed it down right away when I told them my bite wasn’t normal. Dr. Pulkrabek even called me over a holiday to make sure everything was alright. He and his staff are amiable, kind, and cordial. He’s the best dentist near me!

My first time here I came in because I had intense teeth and gum pain. After x-rays and a consult with Dr. Owens, he was able to do a quick bite adjustment and I had no pain. I hate going to the dentist, but these people were great, and the service was wonderful. They made me feel very comfortable. I would recommend this place to anyone in the Peoria area.
