I had the best experience at this dental practice. Dr. Beckstead was kind, personable, funny and knowledgeable! All the hygienists and assistants were kind and welcoming, especially Carmen. Highly recommend! I wouldn’t go anywhere else.
Brilliant crown work. Very professional and talented hygienists. Nice office atmosphere.
The staff here are professionals and do an excellent job running the office and supporting the dentists in the practice. Appointments run on schedule and the staff are friendly, approachable and great at accommodating patient needs and answering questions. They do estimates of the cost of your needed dental work and review it in detail with you, accounting for insurance coverage, before any procedure. One thing I appreciate are the automated text messages for both appointment calendaring and for appointment reminders. There is ample off street parking. Dr. Beckstead is a knowledgeable dentist with very good skills and experience and he has a great “chair-side” manner. He is empathetic and uses the latest dentistry technology which makes the whole experience positive.
I’ve had VIVIAN as THE registered dental assistant working chairside with the dentist whenever I’ve had dental work in the last two decades. Whether it was a simple bonding procedure or assisting Dr Beckstead with placing an implant crown she worked with skill and confidence and made my appointment a “nonevent”! FARIDEH has been the most exceptional DENTAL HYGIENIST in my life. She is straight forward and comprehensive in her evaluation of my gum and teeth health and works from a disease-prevention oriented approach. With a decade of experience as a dental assistant BEFORE going on to hygienist training she has the exceptional broad experience I want from all my healthcare professionals. I can’t recommend each of these two strongly enough!
I just had my bi-annual check-up. The whole office was very professional. The cleaning was thorough. as well as the examination. One problem was found and I was able to get it taken care of a week later. Making my appointments were easy and prompt. A special shout out to Natalie the dental hygienist. She did a great job as usual.
I had an outstanding experience at Beckstead Dental Group. From the moment I walked in, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and attentive. Dr. Emily Chung was exceptional—thorough, knowledgeable, and very compassionate. She took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable throughout the visit. Vivian was incredibly kind and helpful, and Lacey made the scheduling and check-in process smooth and stress-free. The level of care and customer service I received was truly above and beyond. More than excellent experience overall. Highly recommend Beckstead Dental Group to anyone looking for a caring and professional dental team!
I had an excellent experience at Beckstead Dental Group. Dr Beckstead is an amazing dentist! He is super gentle, kind and efficient. I look forward to having Dr. Beckstead as my dentist moving forward. Vivian made me feel welcomed and comfortable with her warm and professional demeanor. I truly appreciate and highly recommend Beckstead Dental Group to anyone looking for a positive dental experience.
Highly recommend Dr. Chung! She performed my routine exam and cleaning, and I was really impressed by her professionalism. She took the time to explain everything she saw during the exam and gave me great tips for my daily routine without being pushy. The office was efficient, and my teeth feel amazing. Best cleaning I’ve had in years.
