I want to preface this with the fact that I have an extreme fear of the dentist. So much so I avoid going for years. I went into my appointment expecting the usual, but what I received was so much more. I can not rave about Dr Farmer, and his assistant Veronica enough. They were so kind, patient and actually really funny. They took time to explain everything and to offer a treatment plan that worked around my phobia.
I have never in my 48 years left a dentist feeling confident about my next appointment. If you are looking for a dentist look no further. Everyone in the office is wonderful. If I could give them 20 stars I would.

Such a friendly, homey environment with up-to-the minute dental care. Both my husband and I have had recent work done by the newest doctor, Austin Farmer. He is fantastic. He goes the extra mile.

Love Lakewood Dental. Everything was great. Dr. Farmer and Victoria were great. Would recomend them to anyone that needs a dentist. My mother went to Lakewood Dental many years ago so we have been patients there for years.

A visit to the dentist isn't what you'd consider a good time so when your experience is a pleasant one, that's always a plus. The dentists, Dr. Farmer and Dr. Slaughter, and their staff are very accommodating, putting their patients at ease and keeping them informed about each step as they proceed through their work. I was thrilled to find a dentist in Dallas with whom I was comfortable, after a very long time relationship with my dental office in Riverside California. Jessika is a thorough and knowledgeable hygienist with encouraging suggestions toward dental health. Because of my experience from reception to departure at Lakewood I highly recommend them if you're new to the area or if you're looking for new dental care.

If you've been wandering this earth looking for your long-term dental office, this is your place. I too was walking around with no set dentist in my life. Lakewood Family Dental is my place now. Dr. Farmer is the sweetest and non-judgy dentist I've ever met. His team is great to work with and are so gracious when scheduling appointments. They understand I'm a busy lady and sometimes I have to reschedule and they work with me *sans le attitude*.
In addition, they have early appointments to help you get in an out quickly. Veronica is a sweetheart and makes me feel comfortable each time I'm there. If you're a vintage fan, visit their office, it's very Dilbeck-esque and has some cool retro architecture.

Dr. Slaughter at Lakewood Family Dental is the best dentist. I've been a patient at his practice for the several years now. He is very thorough and polite. His staff is also very friendly. Not all dentists and doctors are equal and Dr. Slaughter is fantastic!
