Erica Vasquez2025-03-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Alex gets me. I have the last few years become skittish because I've needed more dental work of late. He's patient and helps you along. He can be trusted. Thank you! Nan Cano2024-07-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I scheduled an appointment for a regular dental cleaning & fluoride treatment. The staff treated me with respect & patiently answered my questions. They also helped me with filling out my new patient forms. Even though the building is older in age, the medical equipment is top notch. The environment was clean & professional, as well as the bathrooms. Given the fact that there's only one dentist, I did have to wait for some time, but I didn't mind. My visit with Dr. Alex went better than I expected. He was casual, kind, & gentle in his manners. In addition, he was patient in explaining to me my X-rays (my wisdom teeth in particular) & where I could make some improvements in my oral hygiene. One thing I will have to admit though is that their website doesn't work & sometimes it can be hard to get through when calling. This was my first time here & it won't be my last! Overall, I'm happy with my experience & would recommend Dr. Alex to anyone who's in need of a dental cleaning or whatever dental problems they might have.

They will make sure you feel at home and comfortable. Looking forward for the next appointment. James Zara2024-06-14Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very compassionate, well knowledged, and a very nice staff. Will recommend.. Gss562024-06-13Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was very impressed with his dental work and the fact that he cleaned my teeth himself instead of a dental hygienist. He is easy going and put me at ease with his demeanor right away. Dr. Alex Ionescu was knowledgeable, explained my situation, offered options and recommendations. He answered all of my wife’s questions and mine. My wife said that Dr. Alex has an honest smile. I’m glad I switched dentists. My daughter highly recommended Dr. Alex Ionescu and I’m so glad I listened to her. Arnold Garza2024-06-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The first thing you notice when you walk into the office is that it's very old school, like stepping back in time. I'm always grateful there's no tv blasting inane home remodels in the small space. Dr. Alex and his dad (whom I've seen at last once) actually do the dental cleanings themselves, which is not something I've encountered before. It makes me think they’re more likely to spot any issues since they’re right there in the trenches. While the lobby is super retro, they seem to be up to date on tech. They're conservative in their recommendations and don't push unneeded treatments or procedures, which is refreshing. They actually fixed up a crown and some fillings for me that weren’t done correctly by my last dentist. So glad I can eat without pain again! Dr. Alex is one of the kindest dentists I've ever had - he just seems like a good, genuine person. Everyone else in the office is pleasant enough and competent, so visits are generally smooth sailing. Highly recommend! Megan Aubuchon2024-06-10Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professionalism at its best, he’s personable. a Dentist that not only knows his profession, I call him: Professional with a heart, Bcz he cares, that you have healthy teeth and only does what is needed, my Dentist for a long long time he cares about your smile. That it looks great! Thank you Dr. Alex Linda Hernandez2024-06-07Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Ionescu made me feel very comfortable and without any judgement despite not having seen a dentist in 10-15 years. He explained very well what he was doing and what the future plan could be if I wanted to move forward, letting me know areas of greater concern needing work first. Immediately upon leaving after just a consultation and cleaning I felt great and confident in my smile. Thanks Dr. Ionescu and staff. Katrina Herbsleb2024-06-05
