I love seeing the staff at Adrian Pulkrabek DDS in Glendale. I had a lot of teeth problems and needed a lot of procedures over the past year.

I was referred to Dr. Pulkrabek at Family & Cosmetic Dental in Phoenix, and I’m so glad I listened and went to see him. I have a ton of dental issues, but Dr. Pulkrabek walked me through the perfect treatment plan to fix them all. He’s so considerate and highly skilled but not strict. The staff here always makes me laugh, and they’re very kind and detail oriented. They always follow up with me to ask how I’m doing after my treatment, and they even answer my calls after hours when I have questions. Parking can be hard to find sometimes, but they never try to rush through my appointments.

I have been coming here for months and they wow me every time. The office in Phoenix is great! Everything is clean and up to date. They have spared no expense in ensuring you are relaxed, comforted and have the finest of everything. But even more importantly, they ALWAYS go out of their way to give you the finest care possible. The staff at the front desk welcome you as soon as you walk in the door. They are great at explaining it all to me. Thank you so much for explaining everything. You are the sweetest, most fun and helpful people I've ever met. The whole office is truly the best. They really make you feel like a part of the family and I always leave feeling incredibly amazing inside and confident knowing that my dental needs are being taken care of.

I wish I could give Thomas & Thomas Dental more stars! Dr. Thomas and his staff deserve all the praise! I started going to him about eight years ago because I needed a root canal. I’ve heard all the awful root canal stories, but Dr. Thomas ensured I didn’t experience any of that! I had no pain at all during or after the procedure! When my dentist told me I needed a second opinion from an endodontist due to persistent tooth pain even after replacing my old fillings, I knew I’d go to Dr. Thomas. I called his office to book an appointment, and they fit me in that very day! I was so impressed because it was really late in the day! Dr. Thomas was as great as always - prompt, warm, funny, and smart. He knew just what was wrong with my tooth. He explained what was wrong and why he needed to redo the fillings my last dentist just put in. Dr. Thomas really loves his job and doesn’t do it for the money. He knew that I didn’t have insurance and was so empathetic. He offered to fix it right then at a reduced rate. I got the feeling that he wasn’t very happy that I just paid for the fillings he needed to replace. Tooth pain is awful, but Dr. Thomas can help fix you up! I no longer see that other dentist and only let Dr. Thomas work on my teeth from now on. If you live in Phoenix, AZ, I suggest you see him for all your dental needs!

I will be going to Dr. Muscato and his staff for all my dental needs in Phoenix, AZ until the day I die, and highly recommend other people to do the same.

My friend recommended Mesa Dental Care and Dr. Nia and her hygienist a couple months ago, and I finally made an appointment the other day. They were very friendly on the phone, answered the questions I had about my discount dental plan that I signed up for in office, and they got me scheduled for the next week. When I got there the Patient Care Coordinator (what an awesome title) made me feel very comfortable. She went through a more detailed explanation of how my dental plan in Mesa Dental Care would work with the procedures that were going to be done. Then I met the doctors, who were even more friendly and professional than they were over the phone, which I didn’t think was possible. They walked me through the whole procedure and explained why photos and x-rays of my mouth were necessary. I think they could tell I was nervous and that I needed all the information they gave me in order to be reassured. I’ve had Mesa dentists who don’t answer my questions or tell me I need procedures that I really didn’t need, they just want to get more out of me. Dr. Nia didn’t do that. I usually hate dentists, but I’m very happy with this place’s work. I completely trust, and would recommend them to anyone, they really know their stuff.
