Review №1

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.

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!

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!!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!

Review №94

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.

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.
