Made me feel comfortable

Dr. Laos and everyone at Volterra Dental is awesome. On my first visit the staff gave me a tour of the office which was clean, beautiful and professional. Everyone introduced themselves which made me feel completely comfortable. The dental hygienist was fantastic, she was informative and without hesitation answered all my questions. I expected to feel a little discomfort after a deep cleaning, however not this time I was completely surprised and relieved. Without a question the best dentist and staff I have ever experienced. Realistically I’m not a person to schedule dental visits regularly, but now I look forward to going back to Volterra Dental.

I am never rushed

Yelp
Hands down the best dental office I have ever been to. Every staff member is friendly, kind, and helpful. Everyone is concerned about my comfort. I am never rushed. I’m encouraged to ask questions, and everything is thoroughly explained to me. I am having extensive work done. So far I am extremely satisfied with the work and service.

He saw me ASAP

Yelp
I was having a medical emergency when I was referred to Dr. Laos by one of his patients. He saw me asap. When I arrived, it was obvious that he was in the midst of a workshop or something similar, I felt embarrassed thinking I had the wrong Suite #. They assured me they purposely scheduled my appt, 1st thing in the a.m., during this workshop because they knew I needed to be seen right away. The office wasn’t going to open until later that afternoon. Dr. Laos treated me and I was relieved from the insurmountable pain that I was in. This was my 1st appt with Volterra Dental and have been a patient ever since.
