NorthView Family Dental

I had my first appointment today 12 noon with Jacob who did all the xrays and initial explanation of the practice and exactly what he was going to do to prepare everything for the Dr.' Jacob is a Pro at his job, extremely knowledgeable and thorough in everything I experienced with him, a real pleasure to have him work on me. Then came Dr. Startin, what a delight and bedside manner galore, this Dr. got a new patient today for keeps, cannot say enough about how complete his exam was along with how detailed was his explanation on his findings. I have been going to dentists over 60 yrs., the crew at this facility 5 star for sure.

Dr Leale did an amazing job placing 3 implants on me and worked with me until it was perfect even though I'm a paranoid AND a karen. He really wanted me to like it and everyone goes the extra mile here to make patients comfortable. Since Dr Leale is so good at cosmetic procedures, lots of us olds hang out at his office and everyone is happy as a clam with smiles as nice as mine. Thank you Dr Leale. BirdieGirlFlying :)

My hygienist Vanessa, has helped me to heal my broken gums. I just saw her today, my mouth is fresh again, she gave me goodies and a sticker. Vanessa is my Tooth Guru and I adore her work. Thanks to The Tooth Guru

Favorite Assistant - Monica. She just gets me, or at least she fakes it well. Monica has been doing this a long time, she knows what she's doing, and I trust her completely. Dr Leale seems to trust her a lot also. She is really attentive to both myself and Dr Leale. Thanks to Monica, you did a good job gal!

When I started going here, I had nothing bad to say. They would do their comfort menu, I would get a blanket, music, etc. and felt like I could customize my experience - which was advertised and was nice since I have never been comfortable at any dentist. Kayla was my routine hygienist and she was/is kind and thorough. I have met all of the dentists, and have never had anything negative to say about any of them until I had a cracked tooth under a filling. I opted, with their advice, to do a crown instead of refilling it hoping it wouldn't crack further. I don't regret the choice - but I do regret the way that I was treated during my crown appointment by one of the dentists. I have anxiety and claustrophobia with "isolates" or things that prop my jaw open and/or prevent me from having control over my mouth/tongue, etc. During the crown procedure, the dentist just shoved this device in my mouth without explaining what they were going to do, and I literally had to spit it out and ask what it was, if it was necessary, etc. I voiced my concern over it and asked if there was any other way or any other method or anything I specifically could do. He said no, showed almost zero desire to care for my needs and concerns, and very rudely and condescendingly told me: "Look, if you don't let me use it, then we can't do the crown right, and there was no other way around it." He said that if I was anxious, that I need laughing gas. I declined that as well and told him that laughing gas makes me nauseous. He left the room for like 30+ minutes "so I could calm down" which then required them to have to re-numb my mouth, and the assistant said that she would try to do anything she could to hold my tongue out of the way so that he could do it, but that "I don't know what he's going to make you do when he comes back." Luckily, she advocated for me and we got it done (correctly and without issue, I might add) without the isolate. My next check in six months later, the same dentist did my exam, and looked at my x-ray and condescendingly/rudely said "Wow, you've sure had your fair share of dental work." Then I had a different hygienist and she missed cleaning half of my mouth and I was done. I am with another dentist now and am so much happier and more at ease. Northview Family Dental used to be great, but they've definitely changed some things in the last couple of years and I won't be going back.

Had my first filling since childhood and came into the office feeling overwhelmingly anxious. Char took me back and started getting me prepped while reassuring me that this was nothing to worry about, and she could not have been more right. Dr. Padilla was in and out pretty quick too with no issues. By far my best experience when it comes to getting a filling, would recommend anyone feeling anxious about getting one to come see these two!

I would be remiss if I didn’t also mention how great Vanessa and Madison were when I came in for my first cleaning appointment here back in October last year! It was my bad for not writing a review right after that appointment!

I visited Dr. Startin on 12.13.22 for a crown and was very pleased with his professionalism and care. Monica took time to explain my procedure, and her expertise is apparent. I would highly recommend Northview for your dental needs!

Had an implant expertly installed by Dr. Leale, perfect fit, perfect bite. They really do go out of their way their way to make sure you feel comfortable and confident about the whole process you're going through at Northview. One particular memory that stood out to me was when I was coming in to have the post installed, I'd been kind of scrambling to get it done around a busy day at work, and I hadn't had a chance to eat anything that day. I was already kind of dying and not looking forward to figuring out how to get through the rest of the day with some difficulty eating. Monica asked how I was doing, and I mentioned that off hand, and she was so concerned and thoughtful that she went and got me a protein shake from their staff room to tide me over. It was really above and beyond, and it got me through the procedure and the rest of the workday. That's the kind of kindness that stays with you.

I literally can’t say enough good things about Northview family dental. Monica in particular makes my visits so much less stressful, her pep talks and reminders that I’m not going to perish in the chair make things so much better. She even held my hand when I was upset. After having nightmares about dental treatment these guys definitely ease my anxiety. Thank you so much for fixing me up.

This dental clinic is the BEST!! They are always kind, empathetic and compassionate!! I have never encountered such compassion by the entire staff of any clinic! Thank You for getting me in in such a timely fashion when I was suffering!! I would recommend this dental clinic to all my friends and family! Dr Leale and Dr Statin, along with Filbert have always treated me with kindness! Again, Thank You to the wonderful Drs and staff!! I hope I never have to change dental clinics!!

The best experience I’ve ever had at a dental office. Very comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The staff was very gentle and accommodating. Jonni was very kind and professional.

Char is amazing She is very personable and caring. I appreciated her making sure I was comfortable throughout the entire process. Dr Startin did a great job as well.
