Dr. Chapko and Shah are the best! They are both so kind and truly care about their patients and take the time to get to know them. They have a wonderful staff and always take the best care of my teeth. I have been going to Dr. Chapko for the past 21years ever since I’ve had enough teeth to see a dentist. I always leave their office feeling great and my teeth feeling so clean! I always look forward to coming back for the 6 month check up!
Dr Shah is great. I had a procedure today and it couldn’t have gone any better. Quick and painless during the procedure. And now I’m feeling good even after the numbing medicine has worn off. Five stars isn’t enough. She/they are great. Thank you so much!!
The staff is always pleasant. Dr. Chapko and Dr. Shah are always friendly. We’ve gone to Dr. Chapko for maybe 35 years or so and won’t go anywhere else as long as they have a practice. I don’t know the name of the tech that cleans my teeth but she’s the best I ever had. She’s pregnant so I’ll miss her at my next cleaning but she promised she’d be back for the following cleaning. She better!
I can’t say enough good things about my dentist. Dr. Chapko and Dr Shah have always been attentive and understanding to my needs. My dental hygienist, Deb has been amazing! She is very good at her job and makes the cleaning easier and pain free. I like that I get the same hygienist every time I come in. I’ve been with Dr. Chapko for about 12 years and don’t plan on going any where else!!!!!
The people of this office are polite, courteous, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Both Dr. Chapko and Dr. Shah have wonderful beside manner. Deb is my favorite dental hygienist. She makes you feel at ease and listens to your individual needs. As a nurse, I am very selective regarding who provides care for myself and my family. I would definitely recommend the amazing people of this practice.
