I've been going here for over ten years. Everyone is so lovely, and Dr. Wozniak is the best dentist I've ever had. I have a condition that makes local anesthesia less effective, and I love how the team works with me to ensure that any pain is tolerable. They take time to explain things and offer choices. I feel comfortable and supported in advocating for myself, and I and find the staff here to be trauma-informed and deeply kind.

As always I received good care in getting my teeth cleaned with Jamie. I have been a long term patient with Isthmus Dental and have been very satisfied for many many years.

The dr was incredibly kind and easy going through my entire tooth filling. I never felt shamed about having a cavity. I didn’t even feel the numbing shots, and the entire process was relatively painless! He even stayed long to make sure everything felt normal!
