I have been coming to Dilworth Family Dentistry since the mid 1980's. That speaks volumes in itself. The entire staff is awesome. Next time I go, I will take photos and add them to my next review. I have probably posted less than 5 reviews on line ever. This old dinosaur just doesn't do that, but this review is long over do. Thank you everyone at Dilworth Family Dentistry for all your years of excellent service.

Finally a good dentist experience after five years of searching! From the minute you walk in the doors until the time you leave this office makes you feel apart of their family. Everyone is friendly, personable and attentive - this is truly what a family dentistry should be! Caroline, Dr Ma and Allison were all wonderful. Added bonus - no pressures to have unnecessary procedures or purchase unnecessary add ins or products like the rest of the dentists in Charlotte - just good old fashioned quality service!

Dr. Ralph is the best dentist out there. He's very knowledgeable and taking his time explain everything dental related to you. In addition, my dental hygienist Lauren did an excellent job at cleaning my teeth and my gum treatment. The staffs were very well trained and professional as well. Would give 10 stars if I could

I recently fell and damaged my front teeth. I called Dilworth Family Dentistry and they were able to get me in right away, stayed after hours to evaluate my situation, and remediate. I am so thankful that they were so accomodating and knowledgeable! Dr Ralph, Dr Ma, and Charity were amazing! Thank you!

My last visit was the most comfortable and engaging cleaning I could have. They gave me direction and caring guidance to keep my teeth and gums as health as they can be. The staff at Dilworth Family Dentistry are some the nieces and most caring people in their industry. Thank you for such great service.

This is the first time in my life that I've looked forward to the dentist. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Southern hospitality all the way. And NO PAIN, none. I have recommended this office to friends and neighbors and would recommend them to anyone. Update, visit 6 months later: Still Perfect.

What you don't see behind close doors. The office manager Heather making sure the day runs as smooth as possible, and taking care of all of us. Your hygiene coordinator Kristin trying to work you in the schedule with a smile on her face. Your insurance coordinator Allison fighting claims for you. Your hygienist Caroline, Makiko, Lauren, and Tracy excited you are on their schedule, your doctor assistants Julie and Charity prepping your room for a dental emergency. Dr. Ralph joining our team, what amazing talent he has and wonderful disposition. Dr. Ma now the lead doctor.

What you see in the room is who he is. A dedicated, honest, hard working doctor that cares for you and his staff. This staff truly cares about you and your dental needs. Once you step in the door you honestly become family, patient or employee.

While going to the dentist can often times be stressful, Lauren Duffy consistently makes a conscious effort to make her patients feel comfortable during dental exams. With light-hearted conversation stemming from her excellent memory of patients, coupled with her painless examination, Lauren makes going to Dilworth Family Dentistry a pleasant experience.
