Came here for a filling and a cleaning. On both occasions was exceptional service. Staff and dentists were all exceptionally kind and caring. Can tell they are not just a mill who only care about bottom line but truly care for each and every patient. I'm sure they see dozens of patients per day but even three months apart from our initial meeting they remembered that I have a daughter and her name. Can't rate them high enough

I had the worst toothache all night, & it was unbearable. I did my research looking around & chose Nordahl dental, it was a great choice. I was able to schedule an appointment quickly & once I was there they started quickly on removing my infected tooth. Dr. Sami did a great job, made it painless, I'll definitely be returning for future dental work

I was super nervous for my dental visit at first, since I just moved from Washington state. Everyone in the office was very helpful and kind. Dr. Sami and his assistant made me feel more at ease and offered great recommendations. I look forward to coming back next time!

I had the best first visit ever at a dental office! Everyone was nice, caring, professional and efficient! Moreover, the entire office is brand new! They left their old location and moved to the current one early this year. As such, all of their tools and devices are brand new! Their office is also beautifully decorated, and with floor to ceiling windows! I saw Dr. Sami. He was so nice and explained everything thoroughly. I even learned some new things that previous dentists never told me. Lastly, he has many years of experience and went to one of the top dental schools in the country!

I have been going to Dr. Shahhal for about a year now and let me just say he is a very understanding, compassionate and friendly doctor who truly cares about your smile. Since my first visit I mentioned to him my concerns and he answered all of my questions and provides me the best treatment recommendations for my smile. I always have a fun time in the office with the amazing assistants like Dulce and Alexa and Dr. Sami.
After my visit this year I setup an appointment for my boyfriend because he was way over due for a cleaning and after his visit he called me and said he was very satisfied and happy with the visit at the office, he loved Dr. Sami's vibe and how the assistant were very talkative they made him feel comfortable throughout his entire visit! I truly recommend coming to this office the whole staff is amazing!

Anyone looking for an absolutely wonderful dental practice this would be the one! I had a root canal yesterday and it's been years since my last one. All the anticipation before was understandable as I'm sure we all go through that. I have to say, this by far was the most painless root canal I've had since my last one (which was done by a different endodontist). Dr. Eric and his assistant Elizabeth, made my experience with the procedure by far wonderful!
It went by so quickly, they had lots of interesting, fun and knowledgeable things to talk about. What a great team! The whole staff at Nordahl Dental is hands down exceptional! I highly recommend them. My whole family goes to Nordahl Dental!
