She gave me a genetic test and learned I have salivary issue. I now feel my breath and teeth are better. Thank you Dr. Makowski!

I was in severe pain and she took care of me right away. She uses laser dentistry which doesn’t need anesthesia like I have in the past. She has great chair side manner and made me feel comfortable entire time. I would never say this about a dentist, but this one is exceptional.

Ever since I have switched to Dr. Makowski’s office, I have finally felt comfortable going to see the dentist. I suffered severe dental anxiety, but everything from Linda to Karen the hygienist and Dr. made me feel better. She gave me a neck wrap, music and glasses, it was like I was going to the spa for my first procedure! I still have issues but it is a way better experience than any other office I have been to.

I saw Dr. Makowski for the first time just the other day and she was terrific! She was very kind, gentle, and actually listened to me. Dr. Makowski is the best dentist I have ever gone to.

Dr. Makowski is one of the best dentist I have ever met. I have seen several dentists over the years, and none of them ever did an exam where they checked my blood pressure, my neck, looked for cancer using a special device they had, and did a thorough screening of my teeth checking them inside and out. She went over and beyond in explaining why my gums were bleeding and what might have been factors in my bruxism. In addition, she has laser dentistry, and I have had multiple procedures with no anesthesia . I was amazed at how comfortable and less of a sound the laser used. Her staff is awesome and the office was comfortable. I don't think I have ever spent that much time with any of my previous dentists. State of the art dentistry plus a kind provider equals a wonderful practice. Thank you Dr. Makowski and team for always being there for my teeth and being awesome!

Do yourself a favor and don't use this "dentist". Young, inexperienced....very rude and condescending, talks over her patients. Not helpful at all, only gave her one star because I had to give at least that (no stars would be more appropriate). Do some research, find someone else! You don't want to make this mistake, trust me!!
