I want to express my sincere gratitude to Nicole at the front desk, Dr. Ahmad, and Wendy for an incredible experience today. This was my first time seeing Dr. Ahmad for some needed dental work, and I was so impressed by how thorough and patient she was. Wendy, the dental hygienist, was also wonderful and took the time to explain the entire process clearly. Thank you all for your kindness and amazing care!

Reviews
I had the best experience at the Holland Rd location. Dr. Z explained everything to me. I have never had a dentist that took the time to explain my options. His staff put me at ease right away. I highly recommend this location.
Update 04JUN25: Checked in early for an appointment and got seen when they were available, well before my appointment. Insanely stark contrast to Navy dental. I was told they’d be more localized with the anesthetic and let them know if I felt any pain so they could give more.
No pain, super quick visit, and the novocaine numbness was gone within four hours as opposed to the usual “you’re worthless for the day”.
Cannot overstate how great that is. 10/10, still highly recommend.
Update 14MAY25: Michelle is an amazing hygienist and Dr. Z is heckin’ attentive. Still absolutely adoring the care from these folks!
First visit to a dentist in twenty years.
