The team at Dr. Shawkat's practice is all so friendly. I had to get bridges installed with them which was quite a few appointments. It was a bumpy road, but the team made it a lot better!

She is an experienced professional. She explained every procedure before she started. Told me what I needed to do to continue to improve my dental health. Great Doctor, great experience!

Friendly and professional. Great service overall.

She is definitely an expert, patient and warm-hearted! It is my first time to do a dental care, and she definitely gave me an excellent experience!

I was super nervous about my sensitive teeth and neglected dental health before going to Smile Design Dental. However, everyone was so incredibly friendly and then I had one of the best teeth cleanings I’ve ever had with none of the pain I was dreading. Even though they found some cavities, the bad news felt like good news because of my extremely positive experience overall!

Great staff, very friendly . Free parking was a plus. Overall great experience. Highly recommend!

The staff were SO extremely friendly and kind. I am generally very anxious when going to the dentist because I have sensitive teeth and they made the experience a breeze.

Great location and very friendly staff!!

Professional and friendly service by all staff. I would recommend it to a friend, especially if they have a bit of anxiety going as they make you feel very comfortable. Thanks!
