The Teeth Cleaning Experience
Barbara G.
December 17, 2019
Today I had my teeth cleaned by Stacey at Dr.Tapia's office. My teeth and mouth now feel healthy and fresh! Stacey did an excellent job. She is warm and friendly, careful and thorough. I booked my next appointment with her in the next year. Dr. Tapia is a warm and caring person with tremendous skill in her work. She is observant and watchful, knowledgeable and highly skilled. I've been seeing her for many years and benefitted greatly from her expertise. I recommend her highly!
Fun to got to the dentist.

I've been going to Dr. Tapia for many years now. From the start she's had only the most professional & experienced staff in her office. Be they Doctors, Hygienists, Dental Assistants, back office staff or Receptionist they are always cheerful, courteous and helpful. I couldn't recommend Dr. Tapia's office more highly.
Awesome dentistry

Not just great work. A great education. Dr Tapia explains everything she’s doing and everything she recommends in a way I’ve never experienced. And gives you options when possible. You are really a full partner in your treatment and long term health, not a captive passively sitting in the chair.
Outstanding, and the singing was good, too...

I needed emergency assistance during a recent family visit, and Dr. Tapia and her staff immediately made me feel comfortable and warmly welcomed. The care was top notch, gentle, and considerate (I am a wuss). Oh, and everyone there has a nice singing voice. I didn't think to ask if they take requests, but it wouldn't surprise me. In such a positive, friendly atmosphere, it's easy to relax and even enjoy the visit!
Terrific!

Had my teeth cleaned by Stacy this morning and couldn’t be happier! Her technique is excellent, her knowledge regarding maintenance of a healthy mouth is outstanding, and her manner and personality are a delight. Totally excellent job. I’ll be seeing her again in December.

Our family has been seeing Dr. Tapia and her terrific staff for many years now (a decade or so). Dr. Tapia is personable and professional, and especially important for a dentist - she makes procedures as pain free as possible. Becky is fabulous in her work with patients and as Dr. Tapia's right hand, and Stacy makes biannual teeth cleaning as close to a pleasure as possible. Andrea in the front office is patient with patients who are in pain or who just are a pain (LOL)! I love the look and feel of the office, too, comfortable seating and visually appealing. In addition, when we've had a dental emergency, Dr. Tapia has made herself available, even after hours, mornings, and weekends. She's great with adults and children - my son has been seeing her since he was old enough to visit a dentist. Over the years, Dr. Tapia has, as requested by us, referred us to equally talented professionals - orthodontist, ear/nose/throat doctor, etc. Thank you Dr. Tapia and everyone at your office. You guys are GREAT!

I trust Dr. Tapia 100% She is kind, caring, gentle and always pays attention to what the patient is feeling. Dr. Tapia and her staff are wonderful and capable people. I feel safe and unafraid of going to the dentist since I became a patient of Dr. Tapia several years ago. I have had extensive work done without the pain of past experiences with other dentists. She is light handed and always makes certain that a patient should not be in pain. She is great with young kids too! The music is good. Hearing a dentist and her assistant (Becky) sing along to the music makes me know they love what they are doing. Its a happy experience. Along with other procedures today I had my teeth cleaned. Ask for Stacy. She is great!
Very happy with staff and dentist.

My wife is handicapped and has trouble undergoing procedures. Both Dr Tapia and staff are very patient and understanding, and do excellent work. No one realy likes getting dental work, but this group makes it as easy as possible.

So relaxing and such an friendly atmosphere, I was very nervous as anyone would be before getting in to see a dentist but Maria ( my dentist and owner of this clinic ) made me so welcome and relaxed at i did not notice the passing of time and all the work she was doing, Top quality work, Fair price and everything was done in 2 visits which was very convenient towards my busy schedule, I have referred my friends and family to this clinic and i will continue doing so as everyone seems to be happy with their service.

Dr. Tapia discussed thoroughly with me all the questions I've had about my dental health and completely impressed me with her ability to satisfy my fears of maintaining my teeth as I approach ninety years old. I can rest easily now because she handled my questions so intelligently..

Perfection under pressure

I've been going to Dr. Tapia for some time and have always been happy. Yesterday, however, was exceptional. I was to get three old fillings replaced, and we ran into trouble - one tooth needed a partial crown. It was a Friday and I am unavailable next week to come back. With her magic scanner, the crown was made in-house; I was able to come back to complete the job on the same day. Dr. Tapia always takes her time to get it right and, once again, I have a crown that fits perfectly, with no adjustments needed. What a relief! Also, a call-out to Judy, my favorite dental hygienist of all time. Lovely woman who always cares to get the job done to her high standards. And Becky, who works the front desk and with Dr. T when needed, is a ray of sunshine. I highly recommend this dental practice.
The Best!

The back of one of my front teeth had partially chipped off, called Dr. Tapia's office and I was in her chair the next day. She did a fabulous job fixing my tooth, matched the color to other teeth perfectly, and made me feel totally at ease. And I thought the price was very reasonable for all the expertise applied. I recommend Dr. Tapia and all her staff!

Three hours and two porcelain crowns later... I think the world of Dr. Tapia and her team! Becky in reception is always so welcoming and the doc herself, along with her assistant Michaela, is not only skilled at her "art" but is also hugely entertaining. Dentistry by Design is tops in my book!
Never happier (?) !!!

Dr. Tapia and her staff provide a lax and professional environment. Every question I had was answered to the fullest extent along with explaining the different terminology. It is always reassuring to have a Dr. With such a high caliber of intelligence bring my teeth to optimum health. I recommend this practice 100%. Cannot wait to get my polishing on the next visit. Thank you!
