I have never been so pleased by the way I was received and treated at the dentist yesterday. Let me say, going to the dentist is NOT my favorite thing to do, but after yesterdays appointment I have certainly changed my mind. First of all, I walked in and was immediately acknowledged, they introduced me to the front office staff (it was my first visit). Had x-rays by a charming young lady and then Dr. Chris came in, reviewed my x-rays, examined my teeth, gums, my mouth, and jaw. Can’t recall ever having that kind of exam in my life. Evaluated and discussed my dental needs in the future, asked if I had any questions. He listen and cared as if I was his only patient for the day. What a privilege to have a dentist like Dr. Chris, can’t wait to go again. Any dental fears have been erased and I thank you all.

Wow! I had a problem that 1. My regular dentist could not figure out. 2. An oral surgeon could not figure out. 3. My primary care doctor could not figure out. My cheek was swollen and I was in a great deal of pain. Dr. Durghinescu not only figured it out but patiently explained the problem and possible remedies. Not only that….the office staff and his assistant were patient, capable and courteous . Needless to say Desert Dental Arts has a new patient!

Well what a surprise, the Dr. Was on time, courteous, and gave us his full attention. I am new to the desert and it is difficult finding new doctors to replace the old ones. His staff is so sweet honey should be dripping from them. Thank you Dr. and your staff for your wonderful service and attention.

Excellent, patient, caring people.

Dr. Durghinescu and his team were highly recommended by both my orthodontist and oral surgeon, and I was not disappointed! Dr. Cris's initial exam was thorough and precise, and he was clear and encouraging about what dental treatment I might expect, both in the immediate future and in years to come. He and his staff members are warm and professional, and the atmosphere in the office is as soothing as a dental office can be. I was very happy to be there!

Attentive, professional, informative, friendly staff and a state of the art, impeccable facility. Best hygienist work I’ve ever experienced. It was next level. This is my dentist for the foreseeable future and I’m delighted.

As a new patient, my introduction to the practice was handled in a very smooth, efficient manner, most of it online. I have found all interactions with the staff very pleasant and satisfactory. Finally, I found the initial evaluation by Dr. Cris to be very thorough, complete. His explanations of his therapeutic plan was understandable, logical. I am looking forward to working with him and his staff in the future.

I’m so glad I now have Desert Dental Arts for my dentist. I don’t like going to the dentist and I felt so comfortable and left knowing I made the best decision to change dentists. I had the most thorough exam I’ve ever had and it was so nice to feel so confident in the care I will be receiving. Everyone was so nice and the Dentist was the best I’ve ever been too. Thanks to my wonderful oral surgeon Dr. Scheer for his recommendation too.
