Had a great time here getting my teeth cleaned and x-rayed! Dr. Stefan and his team are very thorough and transparent with communications. My teeth always feel great when I leave here
I went a couple weeks ago and was waiting in the patient room and Dr. Ragy came out and staring screaming so much at the receptionist. I don't know what the recipcionist did but I don't think it's appropriate to do that in front of customers. I didn't feel comfortable being there anymore

Dr. Stefan is seriously the best. He’s so kind, knowledgeable and really takes his time with you. He explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand and I’ve never felt rushed or uncomfortable asking questions. You can tell he genuinely cares about his patients and wants you to feel taken care of. I’ve had such a great experience with him and the whole office. Definitely recommend!
Thank you, Christina. I'm glad you felt informed and comfortable throughout your visit — that's exactly what we aim for. We appreciate you taking the time to share this and look forward to seeing you again.
Dr. Stefan is the kind of dentist who genuinely changes the way you feel about going to the dentist. What stands out most is how much he cares about his patients. He takes the time to explain what he’s seeing, walks you through your options clearly, and makes sure you actually understand your treatment rather than ever feeling rushed or pressured. You can also tell that the culture at Uplift Dental reflects Dr. Stefan personally. It feels thoughtful, honest, and patient-first. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, but just as importantly, he makes you feel comfortable and confident that you’re in good hands. It’s rare to find someone who combines that level of professionalism with genuine care for the people he treats. I would recommend Dr. Stefan and Uplift Dental without hesitation.
Thank you, Mario, for such a thoughtful review. I really appreciate you noticing the effort we put into explaining treatment clearly and making sure patients feel comfortable — that matters a lot to me and the team. Thanks for trusting us with your care.
I had a very good experience at Uplift Dental. The staff was friendly, professional, and attentive. The dentist took the time to explain everything clearly and made me feel comfortable. I especially appreciated their conservative approach and their effort to save and treat my teeth whenever possible rather than immediately suggesting extractions. I would definitely recommend Uplift Dental.”
Thank you, Philippe! We're glad the conservative, save-first approach stood out and that you felt well taken care of. We appreciate the recommendation.
