My husband and I are new in town and both had excellent experiences at Vanyo Dentistry. The hygienists and desk staff were friendly and professional. Great cleaning. Dr. Vanyo is a very knowledgeable and dedicated dentist to his patients.

Dr. Vanyo and his staff are examples of how people used to be and should be today. Caring, professional, and generous to a near fault. I had neglected my dental hygiene for a long time and without judgment, Dr. Vanyo gave me my smile back. I would give more stars if I could. Thank you.

Wow! I had a tooth bothering me, I walked in to see if they could work me in for an exam. They did. Dr. Vanyo took the time to explain what was going on and what he recommended as a fix. Later that same day, I was able to get the old filling with some new decay removed and a new filling in place. The process/procedure was painless. I barely felt the needle for the numbing meds. The entire staff were fantastic. I can see why they have so many 5 star reviews. I'm happy to add my 5 star review and would gladly recommend this business. I've already scheduled my cleaning with them.

I've been here around six to eight times to have my teeth cleaned. Each time was a different person, but everyone has been so friendly and accommodating. Dr Vanyo genuinely feels like he cares about your well being. So much so that he gave me his cell phone number in case I had a dental emergency after hours. Who does this? He doesn't really know me other than a handful of 5 minute conversations. Anyways, I'm lucky that I haven't had any dental problems so I can't say how it would go if I had to have something major done. But when the most memorable part of going to the dentist is that everyone is so kind, I can't imagine going somewhere else.
