Lena is like family. I’ve been seeing her for about 6+ years now and she is always so sweet and comforting. She’s honestly the best dentist I have ever had and my teeth look so perfect every time I leave! She’s great at her job and she will personally clean your teeth as opposed to a dental hygienist which is awesome. If you are looking for a nice ma and pa kind of place, this is it. Also, she will set up a payment plan with you if you are uninsured. I am currently insured, but when I wasn’t, she was super helpful.

Side note/updated review: I noticed some sketchy charges for simple teeth cleanings that have been going through my insurance. She seems to overcharge through insurance, so it’s not something you’ll notice unless you check your insurance statements/benefits. I had given her good reviews a while back, but I’d definitely be wary of Lena. I think there’s some fraudulent activity going on. Idk how 2 cleanings per year with no x-rays would max out my benefits for that year. I have a PPO with Aetna and that’s one of the better plans. I will be contacting my insurance company soon so they can give me more insight.

I just had three cavities filled by Dr. Salha. I’ve been struggling with horrible headaches ever since. I went to another doctor for a second opinion — he determined that Dr. Salah was entirely too careless and aggressive and had injured my teeth causing the awful headaches. There’s nothing I can do at this point other than wait.

She also charged me $50 a cavity for some mysterious medicine that insurance wouldn’t cover. I have very good dental insurance that covers everything so this seems suspicious.

Honestly the $$ is less of a concern to me than a lack of skill. Stay away.

Update: She is also refusing to send me my dental X-rays, which are medical records and I am legally entitled to them. I called her earlier today to request them. She’s now hanging up on my calls.

Update2: she finally sent me my medical records

Dr. Salha is one of the most hardworking dentists I’ve had the good fortune to come across. She herself scheduled my first appointment, checked me in and out, and answers the phone for her own office (so rare in a dental practice). She is such an angel – so kind, welcoming, and adept at explaining procedures & the rationale for the need of them; I won’t ever worry that she is charging for more than is necessary. When my insurance pulled some (probably illegal) nonsense, Dr. Salha assured me that she would fight my insurance company on my behalf to provide me with affordable dental care. I’m so glad I found her & will stick with her as long as is possible!
