Dr. Jim and this staff are absolutely wonderful! They are so compassionate, kind, caring and knowledgeable. I came to them after a bad experience with another dentist, so I was definitely nervous. That nervousness melted away in the first few minutes. I knew I was in good hands with them. I highly recommend them.

Dr. Kotsianas and his team are amazing! They are so efficient and timely that I barely know what the waiting room looks like! Everyone that I have encountered there have been nothing but nice! Just coming here for the past few months and it is very evident that he and his team are extremely skilled. I highly recommend Dr. Kotsianas and I will tell everyone that I know to go see him!

James treats you like you're a second class citizen as if you're a nuisance. very combative, condensending, unprofessional. I asked him what his plan was to fix my teeth because I am a truck driver and have limited time home. he told me that he wasn't sure and acted as if it was my problem to figure out. I'm sorry, but I'm paying for this to be his… problem not mine and find out a schedule that works for both of us. he said he was backed up for 6 months. then why is he taking new patients if he doesn't have time for them. I only come home for a week every 7 weeks and he was told that fact

He is a very talented dentist! I worked as a “fill in” for him a couple of weeks when he had staff on vacation. He is technically very good, very considerate of his patients, respectful to his employees and just an all around great guy. Very fair fees for excellent services.

Will not be back. I have never been more dissatisfied. Something that should have taken 45 min took 90. Then trying to tell me oh you may have to have a root canal. When that couldn’t be further from the truth. Then him leaving 3 times during the appointment. Not to mention being pretty rough. A horrible experience. Then to beat it try’s to get me to stay for a cleaning too. Ahhh no. Heck no. Won’t be back and won’t find me recommending him. The end.

Dr. Jim Kotsianas and his staff have provided me many years of excellent dental care. Jim researched and found the best medical device I needed. He not only saved me time and money but helped my overall health and well-being.
As a business owner who depends on processes and procedures, I know the importance of best practices. Jim and his staff… follow best practices as they continue to train and for excellence, even after all these years
Dr. Jim invests in quality people, who desire to provide excellent services.
If you don’t like to have your teeth cleaned or dread getting an X-Ray

I have went to this Dentist for 25 years. He is a good dentist who does pain free work. But I recently got 2 crowns , I had told Dr Jim and his staff I wanted gold crowns because I heard they last longer, they said ok, then when I go to get the crowns put on, the crowns were white porcelain, I didn't say anything but started thinking about changing dentists, then the next time I had my teeth cleaned my gums and teeth hurt for 2 or 3 days because the hygienist they have now only uses a pick. They had a great hygienist for 25 years but she retired.

Having had a bad dental experience several years ago, I was very hesitant to get dental work done. Dr. Jim put a crown on for me today, and it was so smooth and pain free. I am so happy with the care I got from him and his assistant Denise.
