I've had 8 different dentists in the past 25 years in search of the perfect one, and finally found Dr. Vanek! He and his staff are extremely competent, honest and very friendly. My family and I have been going to him for 6+ years and don't plan on changing dentists ever again!

My experience as a patient was beyond 5 stars.
Dr. Vanek keeps you informed step by step throughout the entire procedure. He was super gentle when it came to giving me anesthetic. I didn't even feel it. Next thing I knew, I was numb. My crown fit perfectly. I love the fact that his lab is on site. I already had my family schedule their appointments.

I had the best experience with Dr. Vanek's dental office. They made me feel so comfortable and welcome. I had two hours of work done on my mouth, he made it pain free and it went by quickly. I would highly recommend anyone to this dentistry. Thank you!

Dr. Vanek and his amazing staff (Claire, Jodi - love you!) are courteous, genuine and go out of their way to meet up with crazy schedules, fraidy cat patients (me), juggle strange family set ups, and do not pressure or shame you in any way. I love going to them and heartily recommend them to anyone looking for a GREAT dental office.

Dr Vanek and his staff are incredible - he is a great communicator, his staff is friendly and their work is magnificent. I started with the hygienist to deep clean which was way overdue, she was amazing and helped me get my gums and mouth ready for the treatment - she is superb! Dr Vanek led me through the full “remodel” of my smile and performed the work expeditiously and I couldn’t be happier with the results - I can smile now with confidence - I highly recommend Dr Vanek and his staff, the care this group gives is simply the best!

Great doctor... attention to details but not overly aggressive... goes for the natural look. More importantly he gives back to his community. Highly recommend!

My friends and family know i hate going to the dentist but i highly recommend Jodi and Vanek Dentistry. I had my first appointment a couple months ago and loved the way Jodi was careful and sensitive with my teeth cleaning. After my first visit which cost me $49 for X-rays and cleaning, I decided i needed to change my current dental plan from HMO to PPO because I truly have never found anyone that makes me comfortable and I genuinely wanted to come back.

I've been a patient at Vanek Dentistry for over 12 years. The team is wonderful but most of my interaction is with Jodi and Diana Perales, who are consistently most attentive, professional and courteous. After 12 years, I could not consider going to another practice! Thank you Jodi and Diana ...you both are AWESOME!!

And many thanks also to Claire at the front desk who is always flexible and patient in working with my crazy business travel schedule, to secure my appointments.

Just an FYI because i dont want anyone to go through what I went through.
Jodie the dental hyg. and the staff are all friendly, however, the discerning part of me feels like its all a cover up in order to up sale. Ive been a faithful patient for 2 years and unfortunately I was deceived today....which makes me sad that people feel the need to do… this to innocent patients. Thankfully, I am in the financial position to pay for what they demanded (without tell me cost ahead of time) but what if I wasn't? What if I needed that money to feed my children or pay my rent? It breaks my heart that

My visit with Dr. Vanek and his staff was the best dental experience I've had. From the moment you walk in the door you are greeted warmly. His staff is professional and keeps your comfort in mind. The exam area is open and airy with windows surrounding the entire area. Dr. Vanek is gentle and thoroughly explains your treatment plan so you are fully aware of what work will be done. As he is treating you Dr. Vanek explains everything he will be doing in advance of the work. The office has all of the latest state of the art equipment to further improve your dental experience. I had extreme anxiety

Dr V is a good dentist. He is professional, honest and sincere. I went to him a couple of time two years ago, and really appreciated his opinion. When I asked for the digital X ray for my record, his assistant sent it to me on the same day! I recommend this place.

I had a terrible toothache and was on vacation. Dr. V's office was right next door to my hotel. I was seen immediately and treated quickly. The extraction was affordable, payment was explained very clearly. The doctor was educational and tender. I would recommend his staff and thus doctor. If I move back to California he will be my dentist. Thanks Dr. V.

I moved here from Boston and I had always gone to my Uncle who is a well respected Dentist there. I am so happy to have found Dr Vanek. He is very knowledgable and always clearly lays out my options. There are often pros and cons to various procedures and he takes the time to explain both the costs and benefits. My sons and wife also go to him and we all feel that we are in great hands. He has the latest high tech gear and I recommend him because he is professional, honest and reasonably priced.

------------------NO MATTER WHAT TRUTH I WRITE ABOUT DR VANEK Or how many times I re post
he somehow gets them off here. IT DOES NOT GET PUBLISHED ON HIS YELP PAGE JUST MY YELP PAGE. WHEN OTHER PEOPLE WRITE HONEST REVIEWS OF THEIR HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE WITH THE DISHONEST CROOK THEY GET TAKEN OFF TOO.
