What Our Patients Are Saying

Daren S.

Of all the dentists my wife and I have seen, this practice is the best! From the front desk and dental assistants to the doctor, everyone is incredible. The level of care and straightforward treatment plan are greatly appreciated.

Amanda N.

Dr. Z and his staff were welcoming and thoughtful. They explained my situation, understood my concerns, and helped me relax despite my dental anxiety. I was extremely pleased and will never go to another dentist.

Martha D.

My hygienist, Jennifer, was so nice and did an outstanding job cleaning my teeth. Dr. Max is extremely caring and an excellent dentist. After a lifetime of searching, we believe we have finally found the right dental practice.

Wajih C.

The doctors placed a dental implant for my mother, and she couldn’t be happier. They explained the procedure and insurance coverage in detail. Overall, it was a smooth experience.

Jill T.

Everyone was exceptionally professional and personable. They reviewed my treatment plan without any pressure. Since I don’t have dental insurance, they offered an in-house payment plan that fits my budget. I’m extremely grateful to have them nearby.

Bobbie B.

I’ve been with Locust Family Dentistry for almost eight years and was very pleased with my recent crown from Dr. Maxhuni. He demonstrated great skill and professionalism, and his assistant also deserves recognition. The atmosphere was friendly and comforting, and the outcome was perfect.
