12/23/2025 Shady Side Family Dental resides in a unique "red roofed" building that is situated in an excellent location with easy access. Everyone I encountered in the office offered me a pleasant greeting and a big smile and I immediately felt appreciated by the staff. My appointment started precisely on time as expected. The dental services spaces are in well-appointed dental suites that are impeccably clean. I was given an explanation of the dental procedures in clear and concise terms. Overall, my dental care experience was fast, pleasant and painless. I look forward to my next scheduled dental visit at Shady Side Family Dental on Muddy Creek Road. I recommend them.
I absolutely love everyone at Shady Side dental. They are very caring and just amazing. From the front staff, to everyone in the back office. Before I go I always get nervous, but as soon as I get in the chair, Dr. Larkin and either Ricki or Melanie keep me calm and distracted by talking about other things. And always make sure I am ok during the entire appointment. I highly recommend this office. 🥰
