We have absolutely loved coming to this dental office! everyone is always so kind and understanding. I have never had a better experience. They are wonderful with my two children aged 6 and 10. We really can't recommend them enough! Run don't walk to them!

I am not one to make reviews but this is truly the best dentist office I have ever been to. They are so accommodating, and thorough. I have never had such a meticulous new patient exam, it was amazing. And I have been back several time getting work done since then. Everyone from the receptionist desk, to the hygienist, to the dentist, to the office dog are amazing, welcoming and friendly. A lot of time at the dentist, you are lectured and feel as though you are being judged and that is not the case here. I would recommend this office to anyone! Love it!

Hannah was amazing cleaning my teeth. She was very open, clear about what she was doing while cleaning my teeth. And doctor P is perfect. She is the kindest woman and so wonderful at what she does. Both of them relieved all the anxiety I had!

From the office staff right up to the dentists, I have had a great experience with them all! I especially appreciate my dental hygienist Jody, she has explained basic things to me that have helped me to improve my gum and tooth health! I highly recommend Oshtemo Family Dentistry!

My teenage daughter and myself both have been coming here for years and we absolutely love Dr. Prathika. She is the epitome of gentle, kind and professional with the best bedside manner.
