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’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.

I saw Dr. Gandhi for an extraction. I was so scared of having this procedure done that I canceled a few times. The front office remained patient and accommodating and I finally went in. The procedure itself didn’t hurt at all and Dr. Gandhi explained every step during and in pre and post-op appointments. If you need a great dentist, I highly recommend you call Dentistry at Greenway!

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.

I just moved to Glendale and needed a new dentist. After some research, I decided to go with Adrian Pulkrabek DDS. I scheduled an appointment to get some fillings done as my previous dentist said I needed them. The staff was able to get all my records from my old dentist with no issues. Dr. Pulkrabek took his own x-rays to make sure nothing had changed since my last dental visit. He found out that the cavity was worse than he thought and said I might need a root canal. However, he was able to fix it without the root canal - thank goodness! I’ve been here many times for regular cleanings, and I’m so pleased with the service, care, and skill that I get with every visit.

I’ve been going to Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, AZ for years and always have a wonderful experience. Aside from regular cleanings, I asked Dr. Pulkrabek to replace all my old metal fillings a few years ago, and he did a great job. He doesn’t overcharge, and my insurance covers all my cleanings except for the $17 fluoride treatment. From the receptions to the dentist to Dr. Pulkrabek, everyone at this office is inviting and timely.

After recently moving to Phoenix from California, I started to look on Doctors Network for a new dentist. It had been about 6 months since my last cleaning and checkup, so I was long overdue. I heard about Smile-ist and called to get an appointment. Upon arrival, I was faced with a very pristine and up to date office with courteous team members. My dentist, Dr. Kulkarni, was extremely knowledgeable, polite, and made me feel relaxed. During my cleaning, I discovered that I had to get a few fillings and a crown. They explained everything in amazing detail so I knew I was in the best of hands. I've had a few visits for my cleaning, filling, and crowns and all of these visits have been fantastic. I would definitely suggest Smile-ist for their intelligence, astounding customer service, and amazing dental skills. And their location in Phoenix is great!!!!
