I just had my first appointment with Delaware Dental Specialists and I am glad that I chose them!Lindsey, an excellent hygienist, gave me a pain-free thorough cleaning which made my teeth feel like new! She took note of my areas of sensitivity and used a numbing gel which made the procedure painless for the first time!Then Dr. Bastien examined my entire mouth and X-rays. She was supportive and said I have been doing a good job but reminded me that I need to continue paying careful attention. She was able to answer my all questions and is just a really nice person.My overall impression is that the staff really cares for their patients and strive to create a warm, welcoming environment. So glad I found them. Another benefit? My insurance paid for the cleaning!

I've seen both dentists. I've got a great hygenist here. The scheduler, Katy is awesome. She is really helpful, kind and works hard for patients. Sign up for cleaning early as they book up quickly and book your next cleaning before you leave the office. It's not the offices fault that there are few dentist in Delaware, a fewer that take insurance, and they take care of everyone.. What's great is they provide service to a diverse community. I love that the waiting room is like sitting in the United Nations. I love the personal care I get because I'm afraid of having my teeth cleaned. But im not scared here.

I received a great greetings and service from Tammy. She is really awesome professional human being that make me feel at home. Dr. Javier like always have this positive attitude, he speaked with me in English and Spanish. And Virginia did a really hard & good job, I'll give her 10 out of 10 for professional service. She is incredibly likable person. All of them really made my day. My love to you guys. You are the bestOn April 18th I returned to get finished my right side and I found Virginia wasn't there. I got scared to have another person working on my mouth. I thought Virginia was the only person capable to perform an excellent job, as she did my left side and totally impressed me with her hard work and dedication. However, after meet Carmen I found a great professional that brought comfort to me and showed high knowledge of her work, doing an incredible job. I give her 11/10 as she totally exceeded my expectations. She is 👌 awesome incredible professional and human being 👏. I didn't feel any physical discomfort. She have angel hands.I am very satisfied with this office. I'm happy that I found them. I have to say. "This is the Best Periodontal Team". I believe that you won't find a better team of professional to trust your Periodontal health. And they have spanish speaking personal as well. Southern Delaware Dental Specialists earned a Team Work Medal for Excellence . Thanks.

The office is so friendly and caring! Dr. Pancko is amazing, her and her clinical manager Trish explain everything and answer all questions. They are patient and do whatever they can to help. Any problems we’ve had Trish talks us through how to fix it till we can get in to see them. She always answers the on call messages pretty quickly and is super friendly every time I’ve had to call. 100% recommend this office and once my kids are old enough for braces this will be the office we use!
