Ok, so how does one sing the praises of a dentist?

Unfortunately, most of us do not really care to go to the dentist, let alone sing their praises, after all, they hurt right. NOT SO. I have to say that Dr. Lackee and his team are wonderful. I really never thought that I would actually enjoy going to my dentist office, but I seem to walk out of his office smiling. Every member of his dental team is geared toward excellent care and patent satisfaction. From the time you enter the door to the minute you leave, each staff member knows you by name and offers a smile in addition to a warm welcome. They are all knowledgeable in their role, being it billing, scheduling, or actual hands on care.

The Dental hygienists not only have a great sense of humor, but are thorough as geared toward caring for as well as educating their patients.

Dr. Lackee has a very gentle and reassuring technique. He is knowledgeable and takes the time to talk to his patients before he begins any dental procedure. I think an important part of his persona, toward his patients, is that he listens to what the patient is saying. He has a great sense of humor and he "DOESN'T HURT"!!!!!!!

I would recommend and have recommended Dr. Lackee to anyone who is in the market for a new dentist.
