I have been going to Lykins Family Dentistry for about 2 years now. I previously lived in Florida. Switching to a new Dentist after going to the same one for 30 years is a scary experience to say the least. I have been extremely happy with the services and care I am receiving at Lykins. It has been easy to get an appointment, great dental hygienist, and wonderful care with my Dentist. I would highly recommend this Dentistry to anyone ready to start with someone new.

My first visit as we are new to Ellijay. I have had my teeth cleaned regularly every 4 months but they haven't been clean this thoroughly in years. Jody did a great job and I enjoyed meeting Dr. Lykins. The entire experience was perfect (except for my getting lost but that was my fault). I know I've found my new dental group.

Amazing place, amazing staff. I went for a cleaning today and the lady that was doing the cleaning was helping me by talking me through it, I have bad anxiety when it comes to my mouth so how she was talking me down and keeping me calm was incredible. If I could rate more than 5 stars, I would. I highly recommend them.

Dr Lykins and her staff are great! Courteous and kind! Efficient and well trained! You know you are going to be well taken care of from the start of each visit! So glad they we recommended to my husband an me when we moved to Ellijay! Dr Lykins is a friendly caring lady! You're never rushed and feel like you're her only patient! You're the priority when you're in her hands!

The staff were able to move my appointment twice due to my request and my schedule changes and got me in effortlessly. Dr. Lykins is always so gentle with me and very friendly, as is all her staff. My whole family goes here and she is even great with my five year old son. He has no fear of dentists due to this practice.

This was my first visit to Lykins Dentistry as we have recently move to the area. I have never been so impressed with a dental visit. Dr Lykins went through every X-ray with me explaining options wherever I needed any type work. I was given a printed estimate of the options with insurance benefits calculated. I then sat for a dental cleaning and the hygienist, Jen did an excellent job plus provided information and guidance throughput the process. After seeing the same dentist for over 30 years, I am more than satisfied with my experience at Lykins Family Dentistry.

I have had a dental phobia from childhood, this has kept me from years of dental care that I should have maintained. This being said; I want to thank Dr. Lykins and her staff. they made me feel completely at ease, comfortable and very important without judgement. Dr Lykins is gentle, caring, knowledgeable and professional. Amazing dental group.excellent experience! Highly recommend them for any dental needs!

Going to the dentist is not on my top 100 things I like to do. But my experiences at Lykins Family Dentistry have been excellent. Everyone is very friendly and caring. You almost forget you are at the dentist. When it is time for my next visit, i will not be dreading it as i have over the past decades with other dentists. Thanks Dr.s and staff!

Highly recommend Lykins Family Dentistry, I was in the office today for a cleaning and I have to admit with the Covid-19 virus stuff going on that I was a little concerned. They not only did a great job, they made me feel at ease with the precautions they had in place to not only keep their patients safe but also their staff. Big thanks to Dr Lykin and Julia

I absolutely hate going to the dentist. In fact I haven't been in 10 years. Today was my first appointment. I was extremely nervous but SO happy I went with Lykins Family Dentistry. Everyone was amazing, I have a terrible gag reflect and the were very accommodating with a few tips and tricks to get my xrays over and done with. I got a cleaning while I was there as well AND the oral hygienist was so sweet.
I'm terrible with names but I think her name is Judy. I wouldn't want to go to anyone else. First impressions are everything and they blew it out of the water. Speaking of water you do get a wonderful view of the river while you wait in the chair with large glass windows to accommodate the beautiful view. Also they were very forward with how much my next visit with fillings and co-pay would be and I really like that.
I like knowing how much my next visit will be. In conclusion if you're looking for a dentist trust Lykins with your dental needs. I was very happy with my visit and will be back.

Dr. Lykins is a professional, caring dentist. Last year she replaced two 40 year old bridges for me. The experience was pain free and much easier than I ever anticipated. The Lykins staff, from check in to check out, is friendly and helpful. My personal favorite staff member is Jennifer (dental hygienist). So glad we chose this office 5 years ago!

Very friendly staff called me to let me know about a cancellation so I could come in early. When I got here I didn't have all my insurance information and they had no problem looking it up with the little information I could give them. I have been to plenty of good Dentist even in this town but I have never been given a shot in the top front of my mouth without feeling it until Dr. Shay Lykins.
