I just came back from my bi-annual dental cleaning and, as usual, I am very happy with the experience. I am currently having my teeth straightened with Invisalign and I cannot wait to have Dr Vasilakis whiten them next year. read less

The office is beautiful and all of the chairs have built in massagers. They don't try to upsell you on any unnecessary procedures or tests, really an amazing experience. read less

They warned me of a few precursors to cavities that they found on my x-rays, but said that good habits and regular cleanings would arrest their growth - they could have told me to fill them right there. The focus on preventative measures assures me that they are really working for me and my health rather than pushing unneeded services. read less

So, there's no way you will miss your appointment.
Then you arrive and they have a Keurig Coffee while you wait. Then you seat at the dentist chair, and the chair has a massaging system!!! I am not kidding. Also their X-rays are digitalized and you can see them on a computer screen. They also have this cool little laser that measures the thickness of the inside of your teeth, so you can catch a problem way before it shows up. This would give any place at least 5 stars, but then there's the people. Everyone here is incredibly nice and personable, big smiles and friendly people, yet very professional.
I've moved a lot in the last 10 years. So, I've had about 5 different dentists in my life, most of them excellent places, but I can safely say this is THE best dentist and dentist experience I've had so far. read less

Sidenote, I have a crippling fear of the dentist, so I don't have one. I unfortunately developed, in the middle of the night a terrible toothache. I called as soon as the office was open praying that they could see me. Fortunately for me they had an opening pretty early. Everybody was so sweet and nurturing. Dr. Maria put almost all of my nerves to rest and got me situated with what I needed to take care of. I have found my new dentist I will go here without hesitation anytime. I want to give them 10 stars! read less

Let's start with the front office. Appointments are easy to schedule, they even double checked my insurance coverage, and printed out estimates for the work I needed done based on estimates of my insurance benefits. For me, that was above and beyond. I can't tell you how many times offices were so reluctant to give me any type of estimate on potential work when I asked. Or they were extremely cautious, making sure I understood it was just an estimate and might not even be very meaningful due to insurance fluctuations.
My hygienist - yes, I have my own hygienist which will see me through my bi-yearly appointments. Jaymi-Lyn was so informative and gentle. I loved that she talked me through every single step of what she's checking for, what this equipment does, and what I can check for myself at home. I also ask a lot of questions so I was glad at not only how patient she was, but how thorough her answers were. It feels wonderful to know I can continue to email her with questions that may arise before my next appointment.
Dr. Vasilakis - she was equally as gentle and warm as the rest of the staff. She listened to my concerns, my issues in the past, and how I wanted to proceed in the future with her. I'm so relieved to have the future of my tooth health in the hands of this wonderful office! read less

The massage chair you'll get your cleaning on is a nice touch! Dr Maria is kind, honest and professional. She's never tried to convince me I need a new filling or upsell in any way, as most other dentists have. The office is clean, bright and welcoming. They have early morning and evening appointments. Have never had an issue street parking. I live out of state now but still make sure to book here when I'm back home. read less

That is probably just an unfair bias from living in the area/city for too long and knowing how landlords are about upkeep with their properties. Well i have to say, i am sorry i did not put my biases aside sooner because i was more than pleased with my services from this office.
First of all, the idea of going to the dentist stresses me out. I had a very bad experience with my previous dentist and had not been in three years and i am a bit skeptical of the dental industry and the quality or service vs. the fees they charge.
Secondly, i have "weird" insurance (aka anything besides delta or blue cross dental) and placed several phone calls to area dentist to see if they accepted it, i was met with a no, confusion, or no help what-so-ever. The person who i spoke to on the phone at Dr. Vasilakis' office was very helpful with explaining to me that they did accept my insurance, but they were out of network. I was not sure what that entailed or how it would effect me and they explained it all out for me. This was my deciding factor in booking an appointment.
When i arrived at the office the receptionist was very friendly and the office was quite modern and clean. I was promptly brought into my room for x-rays and a cleaning. My hygienist, Jamie-Lynn (sp?) was great. She was very friendly and easy to talk to and made me feel relaxed. Also - the fact that the chairs have a built in massager did not hurt either. She took the time to go over my e-rays with me, as well as explaining everything she was doing. She was also very knowledgeable with the questions that i had about some issues i have going on. I also received the least stressful and painless cleaning ever! Â
The Doctor came in and greeted me and was very friendly. She went over some areas of concern and a treatment plan, while explaining each procedure, why i needed it, and what it entailed. Nothing was pushed on me and it was a very easy experience overall. It was also nice to have a younger female doctor in a sea of what seems like a profession filled with 70 year old men with nose hairs and antiquated teachings. I was also pleased to hear about her and Jamie-Lynn's (sp?) humanitarian efforts in Honduras, if i remember correctly.
I would recommend Dr. Vasilakis to anyone in the area for a relaxed and professional dental environment! Glad i found them! read less

From the moment you step into her beautifully decorated waiting room, you can tell that her first priority is to make people feel welcome and comfortable. She even furnished her exam rooms with massaging chairs – and honestly, who wouldn’t enjoy a gentle massage during a teeth cleaning? It’s refreshing to have a dentist that clearly wants to make my experience more pleasant. I would also be remiss if I neglected to compliment her staff, who go out of their way to use the new gadgets and technology available to them to teach oral care rather than harping and criticizing patients, which further exemplifies the office’s emphasis on retaining patients by making them happy. As someone who fell into the habit of avoiding the dentist for years, I’m so glad to have been referred to Dr. Maria’s and to know that I can get any dental need met at an affordable cost in an office that I genuinely enjoy visiting. read less

Â Anyone with this issue knows that cleanings can be excruciating. Â Dr. Maria was the one who finally caught this issue and referred me to a periodontist to have it taken care of. Â I continued to see Betty and Dr. Maria for my cleanings for years afterwards. Â I can't speak highly enough of Betty - she was so very considerate of my sensitivity. Â The last cleaning I had was painless - this was the first time in 5 years! I would highly recommend this practice. Â On a practical note, parking is pretty easy, for a city dentist - and I really appreciated that they have early morning and evening appointments - you don't have to rush from or miss work. read less

I had a family friend dentist growing up and after moving away felt I would never be able to replicate the same level of personalized care and trust. (I bounced around to different dentists and didn't realize how important trust was until I ended up needing 3 root canals after a dentist I was seeing didn't seal my teeth properly and I got cavities under every tooth he had drilled...). That's what brought me to Dr. Maria, and I feel so lucky to have found her. Her staff is really nice, the office has massage chairs, and most importantly she is a true expert and takes time for her patients. I had a cap come off this past weekend and she replied to my email promptly (7am on a Saturday), thoroughly answered my questions, and offered to squeeze me in right away. I had the cap done while she was out on maternity leave and she even offered to redo it if it comes off again at no cost. Dr. Maria is exceptional! read less
