He really took the time to explain everything and showed me exactly what he was talking about with pictures. He clearly, outlined the treatment plan and gave me some great options to make sure that I was comfortable. Highly recommended!

In general, I get nervous visiting a new dentist. The dentists at Lake View Dental Associates made me feel welcome confident in their dental care. I had a great experience here that put my concerns at ease.

Very thorough. Very knowledgeable.

Great experience and I hate going to the dentist! (Doesn’t everyone?) Friendly staff and dentist who fixed me right up with a broken crown. Will definitely be going back.

Overall experience was exceptional. Everyone was incredibly receptive to any discomfort and helped to make the whole experience less stressful. The break down of any necessary treatment was concise, transparent, and incredibly easy to understand.

Great experience and felt super safe even during COVID. The staff had great procedures for making sure risk was minimized. Everyone was kind and communicative and I didn't feel any sort of shame, despite not having seen a dentist for years. Def recommend visiting.

Today was my first visit to Lake View Dental Associates with Dr. Scott A. Emalfarb. Everyone in the office was pleasant, the dental assistant who took my x-rays was great, and Dr. Emalfarb was a very nice dentist who made me feel comfortable. Dr. Emalfarb also made an effort to talk to me about more than just my teeth which is a great relationship-builder to get return patients... like me!

Very sweet man, great staff who were empathetic and understanding both during my general check up and my cleaning. I not only feel comfortable at this office, but also know I can get my wisdom teeth removed through the Oral Surgeon that also sits out of Dr. Scott's practice (which is awesome - makes travel easy). Overall, after not visiting the dentist for almost 3 years, I am so happy to have finally made it back and am getting on track with my mouth health!

Dr. Emalfarb is warm and welcoming. He explains every step of the process so you understand exactly what is happening. He also made sure I knew what my treatments were going to cost before I continued. Highly recommend.

He was super friendly and sat down with me to discuss everything in detail.

Very helpful and nice. Transparent about costs.

He is a excellent competent dentist! I can be pretty bratty and demanding when it comes to healthcare and he’s so nice that I couldn’t resist but to be his patient. He’s thorough and seems to really care about what he does. Also he does not push cosmetic treatments like crazy which can be stressful when dentists do. I’d say the only down side is xrays are a little more painful than what I’m used to. But still a 10/10 experience because the dentist is great! Friendly receptionists.

Everyone was friendly and they checked to make sure my visit was covered by insurance.

Dr. Emalfarb was awesome! He stopped in the hall to say hello even before the appointment. He was honest about the work I needed to have done, but kept the conversation light and presented me with options on how to move forward.

The doctor’s assistant was very thorough, and friendly. Doctor Emalfarb was friendly and made me feel welcomed. He did a great job explaining what the process would be going forward, and letting me know I’d have a personalized care plan.

My first visit to Dr. Emalfab was wonderful and everyone at his office was great. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a long time so I was nervous, but he Madeline me feel so comfortable, I’m actually looking forward to my next visit!

Super nice guy. Highly recommend.

Very nice dentist.

Great service and friendly staff!

Dr. Emalfarb and his team are the best! They were able to work with me to figure out a good payment plan since I was on a wedding budget and did not have a good dental plan. They also called me to remind me of visits and when I was due for a cleaning, which was super helpful. I had a couple silver fillings that were breaking through and Dr. E fixed them with tooth colored fillings. He was very thorough and did a fantastic job. I recently moved into the loop area and now work in the loop area so I decided to find a dentist in my work building. The staff at Lakeview Dental Associates were prompt in sending my x-rays to the new dentist and it was very much appreciated. I will definitely miss them!

This place is the best! Dr. E is amazing...just an all-around great guy who is great at what he does. I came across this practice by accident (I thought I was calling another place with a similar name), but it was the best mistake ever. I had to have some pretty extensive work done and he made the experience completely painless. Since then, I've been back for multiple cleanings by the hygienist Jennifer who makes it feel more like a trip to the spa with a friend, than a trip to the dentist. She's incredibly thorough and knowledgable...and so fun to hang out with. And the front desk team is amazing too! They will not let you forget that it's time for your cleaning...which I greatly appreciate! In a huge city where it's a challenge to find medical practitioners you can trust, it's refreshing to have finally found a practice that truly cares and values patient relationships.

Dr Emalfarb and the team are excellent! I am a long time patient and they have helped me keep my teeth in good health and have been excellent at working with my insurance. Dr Emalfarb does very quality work with no pain, helpful at home tips and 2 cleaning a year with Jenifer the Hygienist are the magic solution. Also, when you go you can sign a monthly Zoom Whitening drawing. I won this month and I am so pleased with how my teeth look. Big smiles! Thanks team! -Cheri

I had an emergency due to a mishap that occurred elsewhere. Dr. Emilfarb took me as a walk-in and made a simple repair, without charge. Nice.

Great dental office hands down....I couldn't be any more satisfied....Dr. Emalfarb is the best!!! The staff are a bit rude though!!!

I had been having a lot of trouble with a loose crown that was causing a lot of pain and discomfort for a few weeks. I had gone to see a couple other dentists who either couldn't help or didn't want to help. Finally, I called Lakeview Dental and got in to see Dr. Emalfarb right away who quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem. The dentist was friendly, knowledgeable and understanding of the discomfort I was in. The office staff were great too! My only regret was that I didn't find this place sooner! If you're looking for a new dentist - look no further - you'll love Lakeview Dental.

Dr. Emalfarb (Scott) has been my dentist for three years. He's friendly, competent, and a good communicator. His Team is great too. They're priced reasonably and work with your insurance too. I also appreciate his commitment to 'giving back' as exemplified by his support of dental charities overseas
