Very professional, state the art service. An attractive friendly atmosphere. Everyone seems to enjoy working there.

Very nice location. Easy parking and access to office. Staff very friendly. Visit with Dentist and assistant was pain free. Everyone explained the procedures and what treatments I might need in the future. I have already booked my next visit!

My experience was pleasant. Got my dental filling by Dr David. Both Dr David and Dr Victoria are professional and caring. All staff was friendly and helpful throughout the process. Would recommend to all.

I actually saw Dr. Victoria Parver. She is terrific, very personable and caring. She took time with me and did not make me feel at all nervous. Can say enough about her and her practice!

Everyone was super nice & made the experience super easy.

Everyone was so welcoming and friendly! They really wanted to provide the best care to you. They explained everything well and made me feel very comfortable. Only great things to say!

Very fast and kind service, very understanding that I had anxiety and was fearful. Took his time and talked me through everything making sure I was okay and understood the process.

Making an appt (on Opencare) was simple and the front desk was responsive. Staff and Dr. Axelrod were friendly and professional, they listened to my concerns about my teeth and made the cleaning as relaxing as possible! Everyone checked in multiple times to make sure I was comfortable and my questions were answered.

Very sensitive to my needs, the doc cleaned my teeth, not a tech. Friendly, lovely people.

I had a great first visit. Everyone was very friendly and professional. I originally went here because I wasn’t satisfied with my previous dentist. I will definitely be using this office so long as I’m in the area.

Whole visit was smooth and easy. Doc was on time, very thorough and efficient. Front office and assistant were very pleasant and easy to interact with.

They were so kind and personable. I felt so comfortable with everyone there. They really eased the anxiety that always comes with going to the dentist and I felt really good about the entire experience. They even waived an additional x-ray that I had to get for some wisdom teeth stuff, since insurance wouldn't cover both x-rays I got! Just, super stellar and educated people. They never shamed me for not flossing or anything like that. Instead, they came toward it with a sense of empathy and concern. 10/10 service.

Everything was great! Definitely keeping them as my dentist.

Great experience! Friendly and professional. I will be back!

The office was friendly, thorough, and clean. Such a kind group of people!

Very great with explaining procedures.

FYI, the building is a bit old and run down, but the office itself is very clean and offers water to clients. I had hoped to meet with David's wife (the other practicing Dr. here) as I tend to feel a bit more comfortable with female care providers but she went on maternity leave just a few weeks prior. Luckily, my hygienist Carly was very kind and very thorough with my x-rays and cleaning, making me feel comfortable. After meeting David, there were no longer any worries-- much more down to earth than many men in his profession. David was very genuine, seemed interested in me and my life and even mentioned a few things about my teeth no other dentist has noticed. The ladies working the front desk were extremely attentive, informative and nice.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in a shameful amount of time, there was no judgement, and I felt comfortable the entire time. They took their time and I never felt pressured or pushed for additional procedures. They were patient with me and I have another appointment scheduled- I have already recommended them to friends.

Going to a new dentist is a little nervewracking but Dr. Axelrod and his entire team were so kind. I'm so thankful to get established with their practice :)

Everyone was delightful!

Great experience! Best cleaning I’ve ever had! I will go back.

I had a great experience at AP Dental. Dr. Axelrod was personable and honest with me. When he told me I had issues with my wisdom teeth, he gave me treatment options and estimates but didn’t pressure me into anything. He made sure all my questions were answered before leaving. Will definitely be going back!

From the front desk to the hygienist to both of the dentists the care and explanation of services was excellent.

Was quick and attentive and explained the results very well. Felt comfortable and secure in my care.

Great visit to the dentist! Its been quite a few years and their staff took time to explain everything and future game plans. Great pricing options for people without dental insurance!

he was the best to take care of my needs, and not try to sell me on thngs I did not need. I could not be happier the way everything went. I will never go anywhere else (or my family)

Everyone in the office is super helpful and attentive, they all asked me several times if I had any questions or concerns. The checkup and cleaning was very thorough and not painful at all.

David was kept very pleasant conversations and was full of information. Got a great cleaning and x rays. Office was clean and everyone was very friendly which made for a very smooth process. Would highly recommend.

I had a very pleasant first appointment here and would recommend others to visit as well! Insightful, thorough yet not overly aggressive treatment and cleaning. Very impressed.

I had a great experience at AP Dental Care. Dr. Axelrod made sure I had all my questions answered and all concerns addressed. He took time to make me feel like a person and not just a patient. I think I found my new dentist!
