I admittedly am a difficult patient. 😀 I bring all the trauma from my childhood experiences with me to my appointments. Dr. Kokinias and his staff are kind, patient and very accommodating. So if you are nervous about “going to dentist” choose Dr. Kokinias! He and his staff will make you comfortable.
He is very thorough in explaining the what’s, how’s and why’s of his work. ALSO his work is outstanding!
I had bonding work done on my FRONT tooth and it looks perfect! That is a HUGE recommendation. I’ve only “discovered” him in the last few years and wish I had found him long

My first visit. Everyone in the office was welcoming, professional and comforting of my fears. I was so scared of my cleaning because I have extremely sensitive teeth. Water, air and metal scraping without numbing can be very painful. Tiffany took her time applying a numbing gel, talked to me about different dental things she was doing and maintained conversation to keep my mind occupied. When she was done with my cleaning, Dr. Kokinias came in to examine my teeth and he wasso kind, explaining in knowledgeable detail the work that I would need to return for. He left choices to me, did not pressure

I got my teeth whitened and absolutely loved the women who worked with me. The first day I went in for impressions it was super quick painless and absolutely loved all the staff I encountered. Day of whitening I was super comfortable and had an amazing experience and she was constantly making sure I wasn’t in pain. I would recommend everyone I know to them, my sister and her boyfriend have gone to them for the same treatment and had all the same positive feedback as I just did!

I have been a patient of Dr Kokinias for over 25 years. I've had simple procedures, like a basic cleaning, to root canals and crowns. Dr Kokinias and h iui s staff made sure that I was as comfortable as possible for all of these events.
He's personable, relatable, multilingual and an active participant in the community who believes in taking care of people, in his clinic and his volunteer services, to the best he can.

I have been seeing Dr. Kokinias for years. He and his staff are professional, friendly, and welcoming. They have made accommodations for me over the years when things have been uncomfortable. I feel like I am listened to and accommodated. I was nervous about going during COVID-19 times but I went and felt extremely safe. Tiffany was my hygienist during my last visit, and she was absolutely fabulous: gentle and caring. Dr. Kokinias goes the extra mile and speaks Spanish also to communicate with his Spanish-speaking patients. Their prices are very reasonable compared to other dental offices in the
