We love Wakarusa Family Dental! Our entire family has been going here for years. The entire staff is amazing. Just this past month, Dr Edwards helped our little girl have a new smile and she feels so beautiful. We trust Dr Edwards and Dr Kelly and so thankful for their expert and compassionate care :)

I greatly appreciate how much time and patience Dr. Edwards has answering all my questions, thoroughly explaining everything and always making sure I am comfortable. My hygienist has been wonderful, my teeth feel squeaky clean when I leave. She always pays attention to trouble spots and helps me get them extra clean. Thank you Wakarusa Dental!

Dr. Edwards and his staff are always friendly and very capable. Insurance disputed a claim, and his office handled the dispute and finally got the matter resolved to my satisfaction after several months of dispute. I appreciated that they assured me not to worry and they dealt with the insurance for me. I highly recommend Dr. Edwards and his staff.

I started at Wakarusa Family dental and stayed with them after moving to Topeka. Dyana is awesome and really cares about me as a person not just a patient. Dr. Kelly and Edwards are also great. Keep up the good work

I have been going to Wakarusa Fanily Dental for years! Leah is my hygienist and she is professional and welcoming every time I come in! I am even able to bring my two kiddos in a pinch and it seems that everyone in the office is helpful and happy to see us! Going to the dentist has never been fun for me, but I do love this office and they have definitely changed my outlook on my visits! I have a great experience every time!
