  • Darin B. Dental Testimony

    "Going to Medical Lake Family Dental is like going to visit old friends. My hygienist was absolutely amazing. She was very thorough and made the cleaning experience as comfortable and stress free as possible. The receptionists always make me feel welcome. I look forward to seeing them every time I go. I had a fantastic experience there today."

  • Nancy C. Dental Testimony

    "My cleaning was awesome. My appointment was on time, my hygienist is super sweet and friendly, but most of all she does such a great job. I would highly recommend Medical Lake Dental. They have went above and beyond for us. Everyone is friendly and makes you feel welcome! Also, awhile back my husband had a crown come off and they got him in within a hour after we called. We love these guys!"

  • Robert W. Dental Testimony

    "This clinic was awesome. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The decor and amenities were excellent. They go out of their way to find out exactly what your personal preferences are for how you're addressed, treated, etc. I needed my dentures adjusted and they squeezed me in right away when I called. I went to the clinic 10 minutes after I called and they saw me almost immediately. I can't say it enough, this clinic is superb and outstanding. They deserve more than 5 stars."

  • Mattias H. Dental Testimony

    "Everyone at this practice is awesome. Dr. McDonald is a great dentist - competent, communicates well, is effective and thorough. Taylor has been my hygienist the past few visits and she is amazing. She's gentle and efficient with her cleaning and my teeth feel great when she's done. My visits are comfortable and pleasant which is a big deal. And they are terrific about accommodating my work schedule for my appointments. It's a pleasure to say I enjoy my dentist appointments. I'd give six stars if I could."

  • Tika R. Dental Testimony

    "These folks are awesome!!! Very thoughtful and thorough, down to earth and very clean. I highly recommend them. Dr. Buck filled a few cavities for me last week, and he did a phenomenal job. He's super meticulous and patient. I needed no adjustments afterward, and my teeth look great. I really appreciate that."

  • Curby D. Dental Testimony

    "This is the best dentist I've ever been to. Very attentive. Anything you need is taken care of. Best staff on the planet. Give them a try you won't be disappointed."

  • Ronald B. Dental Testimony

    "Staff was friendly, efficient and genuinely concerned with making my visits as comfortable as possible. Outstanding professionalism, and made me feel at ease while there. From the time you enter the lobby, until the time you leave, the experience will change any preconceived notions as to dental visits. They take the time to answer any and all questions you may have, and made my visits, believe it or not, truly pain free. I recommend them for your next dental visit. You will not be disappointed."
