My friend recommended Mesa Dental Care and Dr. Nia and her hygienist a couple months ago, and I finally made an appointment the other day. They were very friendly on the phone, answered the questions I had about my discount dental plan that I signed up for in office, and they got me scheduled for the next week. When I got there the Patient Care Coordinator (what an awesome title) made me feel very comfortable. She went through a more detailed explanation of how my dental plan in Mesa Dental Care would work with the procedures that were going to be done. Then I met the doctors, who were even more friendly and professional than they were over the phone, which I didn’t think was possible. They walked me through the whole procedure and explained why photos and x-rays of my mouth were necessary. I think they could tell I was nervous and that I needed all the information they gave me in order to be reassured. I’ve had Mesa dentists who don’t answer my questions or tell me I need procedures that I really didn’t need, they just want to get more out of me. Dr. Nia didn’t do that. I usually hate dentists, but I’m very happy with this place’s work. I completely trust, and would recommend them to anyone, they really know their stuff.

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.

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.

I wish I could give Thomas & Thomas Dental more stars! Dr. Thomas and his staff deserve all the praise! I started going to him about eight years ago because I needed a root canal. I’ve heard all the awful root canal stories, but Dr. Thomas ensured I didn’t experience any of that! I had no pain at all during or after the procedure! When my dentist told me I needed a second opinion from an endodontist due to persistent tooth pain even after replacing my old fillings, I knew I’d go to Dr. Thomas. I called his office to book an appointment, and they fit me in that very day! I was so impressed because it was really late in the day! Dr. Thomas was as great as always - prompt, warm, funny, and smart. He knew just what was wrong with my tooth. He explained what was wrong and why he needed to redo the fillings my last dentist just put in. Dr. Thomas really loves his job and doesn’t do it for the money. He knew that I didn’t have insurance and was so empathetic. He offered to fix it right then at a reduced rate. I got the feeling that he wasn’t very happy that I just paid for the fillings he needed to replace. Tooth pain is awful, but Dr. Thomas can help fix you up! I no longer see that other dentist and only let Dr. Thomas work on my teeth from now on. If you live in Phoenix, AZ, I suggest you see him for all your dental needs!

I've been a patient here for 5 years now. The staff always makes sure I’m comfortable. I have to give a special shout out to the assistant, she’s absolutely wonderful. They let you listen to music to help you get distracted from the work they’re doing on your teeth if it makes you anxious. They even give you a card with your next appointment date on it. I couldn't believe it. I love this place so much that even if I have to move at some point in my life I plan on making my bi-annual appointments here, even if I have to fly to Phoenix.

I was referred to Dr. Pulkrabek at Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, and I’m so glad I listened and went to see him. I have a ton of dental issues, but Dr. Pulkrabek walked me through the perfect treatment plan to fix them all. He’s so considerate and highly skilled but not strict. The staff here always makes me laugh, and they’re very kind and detail oriented. They always follow up with me to ask how I’m doing after my treatment, and they even answer my calls after hours when I have questions. Parking can be hard to find sometimes, but they never try to rush through my appointments.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Pulkrabek at Adrian Pulkrabek DDS for nearly 15 years now, and he’s the best dentist near me! He always keeps up with the newest and best dental products and procedures. I recently moved out of state, but I still travel to Glendale just for him. He’s done a lot of my dental work because he’s the only trustworthy dentist around. And he’s just an awesome individual - super inviting and so smart! His expert office staff is always warm and welcoming.

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.

From a young age, Dr. Eric Wendelschafer was instilled with a strong work ethic, growing up in a family deeply rooted in the commercial construction industry. He spent much of his youth working alongside his family, learning the satisfaction of hands-on work and the value of dedication and craftsmanship.

Dr. Wendelschafer brings this same commitment and work ethic to his role as the owner and sole dentist at Great Smiles Dental Care in Surprise, a practice he has led since 2013. Motivated by his passion for improving patients' health and quality of life through exceptional dental care, he strives to offer high-quality services at a fair price. He is honored to serve the oral health needs of the community and is committed to delivering the best possible care to each patient who walks through the door.

Dr. Wendelschafer’s interest in dentistry was sparked during high school when he had the opportunity to shadow oral surgeons his mother worked for. It was then that he realized he wanted to pursue a career in dentistry. He never shied away from a challenge. As a student athlete, he earned a track scholarship while balancing the demands of studying, training, and working part-time installing metal roof panels in the Arizona heat. His determination led him to pursue a degree at the Arizona School of Dentistry & Oral Health, where he graduated and then gained practical experience in a corporate dental setting in Mesa.

In time, Dr. Wendelschafer took over at Great Smiles Dental Care when the previous doctor retired, and he has since been dedicated to providing the communities of Surprise, Sun City, and beyond with healthy, beautiful smiles. He is passionate about helping his patients achieve their goals of good oral health and a fulfilling life through personalized, quality dental care. Dr. Wendelschafer is excited to welcome new patients to his practice and looks forward to working with each one to achieve lasting dental health.

Dr. Gandhi is my dentist and is absolutely amazing. Before coming to Dentistry at Greenway, I hated going to the dentist. Then a friend recommended Dr. Gandhi to me and I’ve been a satisfied patient ever since. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Now I’ve recommended family and friends as well.
