Since my youth, I have been very anxious about going to the dentist due to a horrible experience when I was little. I’ve gotten to a point of avoiding the dentist altogether into my adult years. I can wholeheartedly say that that mindset has all changed since my experience at Sand Creek Dental! My dental hygienist was great and explained everything to me to ensure that I was not only comfortable, but understood all that was being done. Dr. Shaun was amazing and very friendly. He was clear about what the next steps were that he recommended and why. He pointed out abnormalities and showed me why he thought it to be an abnormality, taking the time to explain why the dental work may be needed in the near future. He did not just note an abnormality saying “this just needs fixed” while handing me an astronomical estimate. I greatly appreciate the staff at Sand Creek Dental for taking their time to ensure I was comfortable and that I understood what work needs to be done and why.

I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 10 years. I had a great experience there including extremely timely service which I appreciate as I work full-time and my days off are highly valued. The staff was absolutely amazing including the person who initially called me. Angie the hygienist was so good and thorough, and the dentist was pleasant too. A great place. I’ve already referred them to my family members.

I have Never been so impressed with a dentist office in my life. I had two kids with me. A 7 year old, and infant and not only were they extremely understanding and accommodating, they helped me with enthusiasm. They were quick and to the point with what I needed Done. I needed In fast, they made my appointment for the next day, they were able to finish the job the day after that.The doctor, Sean or Shawn, was SO friendly and sweet. Very transparent about pricing. I just loved and enjoyed my visit, when normally I’m an anxious mess over the dentist. I recommend them to my closest people immediately after my first appointment.

Great dentistry. Pleasant staff, capable dentists, been here 15 years. Thanks all

Sand Creek Dental was amazing! I truthfully could feel a sincere care from each of the employees there, and it made it a joyful, rather than (usual) dreadful experience for me anywhere else! I worked with Elizabeth Egolf, Dr. Shaun, and Angie, who were all so kind and took great care of me! The front desk made me feel very welcome and were great at setting the tone and feeling for me from the start. Shelly was extremely kind and made me feel comfortable with my first visit. Such a WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!

Have always enjoyed and trusted being a patient with Dr Lucas and his staff. And now I can wholeheartedly recommend Dr Shaun Freeman and his staff. Very professional while explaining all procedures. I felt completely comfortable and in “good hands”.

I have been going to Dr. Lucas for YEARS! His office transitioned into Sand Creek Dental and Dr. Eric is a very upbeat & caring dentist. I love Sarah, my hygienist. She has been cleaning my teeth for the last few years and I look forward to my visits. Great dental office with wonderful staff!

Sara is my hygienist at Sand Creek Dental. Sara is extraordinary! She has cleaned my teeth for many years with no pain and great skill. Then comes Dr. Lucas (the Best!!) to examine my mouth, thoroughly. Sand Creek Dental is a wonderful place. I should know, Ive been cared for there for well over 20 years!!

Im very happy with my experience at Sand Creek Dental. Every single one of the staff members is incredibly kind, and they take pride in their work. The office is extremely clean, and well run. I highly recommend this practice.

I had a pain free extraction and bone graft to prepare for implants yesterday. Dr Shaun and Liz were gentle, caring and compassionate through the entire process. I highly recommend this group and the entire staff is really friendly and professional. Would give more than 5 stars if possible.

The staff was very friendly. The Dr was very thorough and put me at ease. I would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Love coming here! The staff is so friendly & Dr. Lucas is amazing. I came in for a cleaning and Dr. Lucas saw the rash I was getting on my face from my mask. Within a day of putting the medicine on my face, my rash is gone! He is a miracle worker! And my teeth are so clean!

I have been going to this same dentist office for more than thirty years. The friendly staff has always greeted my entire family with professionalism and respect. Recently, the original dentist retired and new dentists took over. The knowledgeable staff greeted us with the same smiling faces and integrity we have been accustomed to. I can always count on this office going above and beyond. Thank you

Emily was knowledgeable and personable at my recent visit. She was able to inform her coworkers as well as make me feel comfortable with the procedure. Change is good and I look forward to working with the new staff at Sand Creek Dental.

I have been a patient of Dr. Lucas for many years. A few months ago I saw Dr. Shaun and the team for a crown. Great experience and great care from everyone in the office.

Dr. Shawn is respectful, polite, and he has a really great personality. He cares about me as a patient, and he always takes care to make sure I am as comfortable as possible. I would recommend Sand Creek Dental for any dental needs!

Dr. Shaun did an excellent job removing my tooth, even though it was in an area that was hard to get to. He and the staff made sure I was comfortable the entire time. The staff are all very friendly and helpful.

My first time there and I was very impressed. Well organized, clean, and the staff was great. I am glad I did my homework on them prior to making my appointment. Everyone glowing reviews were spot on.

This is the very best dental office! Everyone is so kind and it’s a very family friendly environment. Elizabeth Egolf makes you feel comfortable and at ease during your appointment. Never experienced better service!:)

Friendly, caring, always professional. Feel very comfortable coming here.

We have always gotten great service from the staff at Sand Creek Dental over the years. Now they are even better than ever with the latest additions to their staff. All of the staff seems like friends to us. Especially Sara, Marci, and Liz! Dr. Lucas is the only doctor that I have ever been able to call from a pub in London in an emergency!

Finally found a dentist that truly cares about his patients. Dr Shaun and staff truly are the best!!Truly amazing.

Dr. Lucas is the best! I first saw him in the late 80s when he was in his original office in Chesterton! He really cares about his patients!

Great staff. Top notch. Highly recommended.Been going here for years.

It was as pleasant as going to the Dentist can be. And my hygienist Angie was was very gentle and a Babe. She can work on my mouth anytime.

They were SO great! Smiling and sweet and answered questions with complete kindness.

First time patient. Delightful hygienist and a bright, caring new dentist!

Been a patient here for years.. They have added 2 new dentists but continue with great service and friendly staff. Would always recommend Dr Steve & Co.

Everyone was amazing. Made us feel right at home. The staff and our dentist was so friendly, personable, outgoing, and completely honest in the detail of our visit and the cost of it all. Thank you for making this a great place! 😁

My office visit {Dental Experience} at Sand Creek Dental in Chesterton, Indiana was “GREAT”, everyone treats you like your a person, not a patient. I highly recommend them to everyone.

Great awesome experience! Best dentist around the area. Highly recommend sand creek dental for all your dental needs.

The folks at Sand Creek Dental are awesome! They treat you like a person and they are there ready to listen. They do great work.

Had a dental emergency while visiting the area for relocation purposes. SCD got me in quickly. Everyone I encountered was extremely friendly and professional. I highly recommend this practice and they will be my dental professionals if I end up moving here. Great job!

Thank you for always being so friendly and professional! As a family of 5 having one place for all of us to go and feel comfortable is amazing! Thank you!

The front desk manager is the best manager in the business! Truly such a welcoming space. 5 Stars!

Great Dentist! Very caring and knowledgeable staff. Dr Lucas is gentle and does his best to not make any procedure hurt. Highly recommend

This practice has always been professional and concerned about my comfort. Highly recommend you give them a try.

I had a great experience at Sand Creek Dental. Marci was an excellent hygienist. She was very thorough and friendly. Even though I am super sensitive during cleanings, she made me feel comfortable during the whole cleaning. Dr. Shaun is always the best! He is such a great person and the best dentist I have ever been to.

I am pleased to say that my experience at Sand Creek Dental has been nothing but terrific. Dr. Shaun is friendly and an excellent dentist!

I’ve been going to Dr. Lucas for over 25 years now and I have received nothing but the highest quality care from him on every visit. I trust him completely regarding anything to do with my dental care.

Staff is always pleasant, helpful and compassionate. Sara is an excellent coach and trying trying to get my husband to floss!

Great cleaning and Dr. Lucas was his usual friendly and professional self. Can’t beat it!

The doctors and staff are fantastic and do great work. Theyre all very nice and professional.

Great people, super pleasant and always welcoming. Highly recommended!

Been visiting Sand Creek Dental almost my entire life and I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Dr Shaun was very professional and gentle with my teeth. He made me feel very comfortable talking about my dental needs. I felt like we were family every time I visited. I would highly recommend others to him.

Dr. Maya does an unbelievable job from start to finish! My teeth never felt better. She is very professional but also makes you feel super comfortable! I can’t say enough about going to their dental practice. I actually ENJOYED going to the dentist because of their bedside manner and how they make you feel right at home. If you want to go somewhere efficient with your time that you can trust then stop wasting your time and see Dr. Maya! I’m thankful I found this dental practice.

If you are nervous about going to the dentist, then I highly recommend Dr. Maya! She took the time to make me feel comfortable, answer all of my questions and thoroughly explain my treatment plan. Dr. Maya is not only professional and well skilled but very compassionate! Choose Dr. Maya and you will not be disappointed!

I highly recommend Dr. Maya Gendlin! I have been seeing her for many years and she is professional, friendly, and trustworthy. She has filled my cavities and was so gentle that I didn’t feel a thing! I know that I can trust her to make the best decision for my dental health because it is clear that she cares so much about the comfort and happiness of each and every patient.

Dr. Shaun has been taking care of my teeth for a couple years now and has always done an excellent job! Always pleasant with a positive attitude, he makes you feel comfortable and actually makes you look forward to going to appointments/check ups. His staff is great, and he is always helpful in answering questions I might have. Overall, Dr. Shaun is top-notch, highly recommend!

They’re great I’ve always had a bit of a phobia when it comes to dental work but they are great can’t say enough good things about them. My hygienist I believe her name was Angie was awesome.

Professional, polite and great work. Thank you Sand Creek Dental!

Dr. Shaun is great. Most dentists Ive had Id say they were good or decent. I assume most have the same knowledge base and know what they are doing. What makes Dr. Shaun stand out is his friendly demanor and his ability to make me feel comfortable. I appreciate how Dr. Shaun listens and makes me truly feel that he cares about me.

The Staff and Dentist had big shoes to fill after my lifetime Dentist decided it was time to retire...they did an excellent job !

This is by far the best dental practice that has ever existed. They are out of our insurance network but we dont care. Its worth it to our entire family. They are gentle and kind, and amazing with kids. My child has dreams of being a dentist after coming here. Just dont feed the squirrels, the POA will go nuts!

I have been a patient of Dr. Maya for years now and followed her to Sand Creek Dental. She is the best Dentist I have ever been to. I would recommend her to everyone. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and makes you so comfortable. Thank you, Sand Creek Dental, for your excellent care!

I had the most incredible experience at Sand Creek Dental. I have followed Dr. Maya from Gurnee to Crown Point and now to Chesterton. The sunlit office is as warm as her overwhelming passion to care for her patients. This practice is a Northwest Indiana gem.

Dr. Shaun and his staff were so helpful and kind. They take the time to explain what they’re doing and truly care. I had such a wonderful experience and will highly recommend this office to anyone!

No one can replace Dr. Lucas, but Dr. Shaun is a close fit. Staff is awesome and friendly.

Awesome dentist, everyone are super friendly! I think I found my dentist!

Dr. Maya and Dr. Shaun are incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Really put me and my family at ease and we look forward to each visit! Can’t go wrong with this stellar team!

Very friendly. You feel very comfortable with staff

My experience at Sand Creek Dental was excellent. Dr. Lucas has been my dentist for many years and hes the best. The staff is very professional and treat you like family.

Sand Creek Dental is amazing; I just can’t say enough great things about them! Both Dr. Freeman and Dr. Gendlin Freeman are so skilled and kind! I’ve had some bad dental experiences and Dr. Shaun did a great job putting me at ease. I will be a lifelong patient and am referring all of my friends and family to them!!

I was having pain, so I called to make an appointment to see if something weird was going on. It turned out I needed a root canal They had me taken care of immediately! The doctor explained the procedure thoroughly, kept me comfortable the entire time, and I honestly never felt any pain through what many people describe as a horrible experience. After multiple visits and a few cavities filled, I wont be going anywhere else to keep my teeth healthy! The staff is friendly and flexible and Dr. Maya was so knowledgable with such a wonderful personality! I cant recommend her enough.

Absolutely amazing family dentistry office. My youngest went in with tears of fear and left with a smile. I would highly recommend to any family looking for a great family dentist. Go team Walter Berry.

This was my first visit, and I could not have been more satisfied with the entire experience. Great people, very upbeat, and very caring attitudes and an overall excellent experience! Would recommend them to anyone.

Sand Creek Dental does an outstanding job at making me feel at ease as I go through my dental procedure! They communicate with me as they let me know the what and why of each step of the procedure. I know I am in good hands with Sand Creek Dental!

Amazing staff, amazing doctors, and an amazing office!

Dr. Shaun has been my dentist for a number of years. I first went to him when i cracked my tooth on a popcorn kernel and havent seen another dentist since. Out of all of my years of seeing dentists Dr. Shaun is the most thorough and makes me feel the most comfortable.

Loved my hygienist and adore Dr. Lucus!!!

It great everyone was spot on good job by all !!!

A wonderful experience as always .

One of the best dental offices around! Been going there for years. All the staff is amazing!

Thank you dr shaun freeman for the care i recieved.You are an awesome dentist an very kind.deserve more than 5 stars.My root tips were stubborn but you got them.

I saw Dr. Maya for a couple extractions and I loathe going to the dentist. From the time I walked thru the door I felt like Norm on Cheers! Everyone knew my name, they were happy to see me and they were all very understanding of the fears I have around the dentist. Dr. Maya was a dream. She was fast and communicated with me the whole way so I always knew what to expect. Thank you Dr. Maya!

Always a great experience with Dr Lucas

Never a bad experience here. Friendly, capable, thorough. Hygienist and dentist as well as receptionists.

High quality dentist, definitely recommend!

Attentive, one time and very friendly. Dr. Lucas and staff are excellent.

Great staff. Comfortable environment. And excellent work done.

Dr. Shauns staff was so professional when I called in to move my appointment around multiple times and was so helpful in helping me figure out my insurance coverage questions. Very professional staff and with no-hastle at all!

Everything went very well. Nice to meet the new dentist.

Dr Shaun and Dr Maya are two of the most caring and thoughtful dentists I have ever met. Couldnt recommend them highly enough!

Dr. Lucas makes going to the dentist a good thing.

Great people, willing to go extra mile for you! 10/10 Would recomend.

I highly recommend checking them out amazing staff.

Friendly, professional and top notch!

Great team, excellent care in a friendly atmosphere.

Always a pleasant experience. The staff are friendly and professional.

Took my 3 year old for his first dentist appointment today with Dr. Lucas. I was nervous, but Dr. Lucas and the staff made him feel more than welcome! They were very interactive with him and made him feel so comfortable, he didn’t want to leave! Would definitely recommend.

Dr. Lucas was my dentist for more than 20 years. Two years ago I had a gold crown that needed to be re-cemented. He attached it 180 degrees out of position. In an attempt to make it work he ground the top off. He told me I would need a new crown and would have to pay full price. So far I have had to return three times to have it re-cemented, having to pay for each visit. After complaining, I was told to find anew dentist. I had another crown that needed re-cemented after 5 months.

Great service with smiles. Never much of a wait time. Talented team. This group will not try to up sell you. Just honest work with excellence.

SARA WAS GREAT.

Dr Lucas has been my dentist for ~30 years. He is such a caring person: always upbeat, full of energy and very concerned about his patients comfort and overall health. Dr. Lucas is a veracious reader, knowledgeable about the latest dental techniques, and he takes a pragmatic approach to providing dental care. He and his staff make you feel comfortable and at-ease from the moment you walk into the office. I truly appreciate the care I have received from Dr Lucas and his Team.

My lifelong dentist retired and left me without a dentist. I tried a different place before finding my new dentist. Dr Lucas is very knowledgeable and kind, and the staff here is beyond helpful. My teeth felt happy again. My husband and daughter has also switched to Dr Lucas and are very happy.

Been coming here all my life. They are really great at what they do. I won’t go to anyone else.

A visit to Dr. Lucas office is always a pleasant experience. Even my children beg me to make their dental appointments! Dr. Lucas has a great personality, and is an excellent dentist. Everyone in his office is upbeat and friendly. Id highly recommend Dr. Lucas.
