Going to the dentist can be stressful for many people, but Arlene has a special way of making patients feel welcomed and cared for. She is always patient, professional, and willing to go the extra mile to answer questions and help with anything needed. Her positive attitude and compassionate nature truly make a difference.

I can’t say enough good things about this dental office! The dentist and the dental staff were so calm, kind, and engaging with my kids. They took the time to ease any nerves and made the whole appointment fun and stress-free. As a parent, that means everything. Highly recommend for families!

My 2 appointments at Zak Dental went very well. Dr. Godfrey is very thorough and answers any questions you may have. His dental assistant , Arlene, was very nice, and really makes you feel at ease. The front desk is also very good at their jobs. Thank You, Zak Dental!
