    I am generally very anxious when it comes to going to the dentist. My teeth are terrible and I had a pretty negative (only one time) experience at a previous dentist's office. Dr. Karia's office is very friendly and personable, and I never really felt nervous or discouraged during my appointment like I usually do. I'll generally go to a consultation and then get scared or overwhelmed and then decide to continue neglecting treatment but I feel like I finally found a place that hasn't frightened me.

    Dr. Karia was amazing. She was kind, knowledgable, and gentle in her practice. I don't normally get nervous to go to the dentist, but it was my first time in a long time switching to a new dentist so I was a bit anxious. She was amazing! I'm glad I found this practice and will be going back.

    Best dentist I have ever experienced. I have extreme fear of the dentist and she and her staff were kind enough to walk me through everything. They were incredibly patient with me and even helped me with breathing exercises.

She explained everything she was doing in detail and made sure I understood. In addition to the great service, the whole appointment process was very expedient with no waiting.
