First Time Appointment Success
I had a really great experience here. The care I received went way beyond what I expected.
Dr. Zina Alwash was incredibly kind, reassuring, and made me feel completely comfortable throughout the entire process. She really takes her time with her patients and explains everything clearly so you never feel rushed or unsure.
Her and her staff are all amazing, so welcoming, caring, and professional from start to finish. You can genuinely tell they treat every patient like family.
I’m very grateful for the care I received and I recommend her 100%.
I cannot recommend Dr. Zina enough. She helped me during a dental emergency with so much care, professionalism, and honesty. She focused on reducing my pain and treating the issue properly without suggesting unnecessary treatments, which I truly appreciated.
She always answers all of my questions calmly and thoughtfully, and makes me feel comfortable throughout the entire process. Her work has also been amazing — she treated a broken tooth in an emergency situation and completed two crown procedures for me in one day, including one on a previously root-canaled tooth. It has now been 3 months and I’ve had absolutely no issues.
On top of that, her entire team and front desk staff are incredibly kind, compassionate, and helpful. They genuinely try their best to help with insurance questions and make the whole experience less stressful.
I especially recommend Dr. Zina and her team to anyone who feels anxious about dental work. They are patient, understanding, and truly care about their patients.
I discovered Royal Crest Dentistry through Google reviews, and after such a positive experience, it only felt right to share my own.
From the moment I walked in, I was welcomed by a warm and friendly staff, especially Tula who was very sweet. As someone who is usually nervous about dental visits, I was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable I felt here.
Dr Zina was very professional and also incredibly kind. She took the time to thoroughly explain every step of the procedure, answering all of my questions and addressing my concerns. The entire staff’s genuine care and attention made all the difference.
I’m so glad to have found this clinic and will definitely be coming back!
I had an amazing experience at Royal Crest Dentistry. From the moment I arrived, Tula was incredibly kind, professional, and helpful. We had a small issue, but the way she handled it was impressive. She resolved everything calmly and made me feel completely at ease. I honestly forgot all about being upset because of her kindness and professionalism.
Anne was also wonderful—very cooperative, kind, and professional, which added to the positive experience. Dr. Zina was amazing; she is highly professional, confident, and clearly knows exactly what she’s doing. I felt comfortable and well cared for throughout my appointment.
This was my first visit to Royal Crest Dentistry, and I truly loved the clinic, the atmosphere, and the overall vibe. I’m so glad I chose this place, and I will definitely be a client for the long term. Highly recommended!
