Report
Dr. Marko and her team are so great. My husband and I started going to them almost 2 years ago, and I needed a lot of work done, she came up with a short term and long term care plan. Everyone is so nice and helpful, the work is amazing. I needed an endodontist for a root canal and he looked at the temporary crown Dr. Marko did and said it looked better than most permanent crowns he’s seen. Highly recommend. 5 stars!

Report
I had a filling break out of my upper front tooth leaving the tooth unsightly and jagged. Dr Marko asked if I wanted anesthesia. She didn’t think I would need any but was my choice. We went ahead without getting numb and in 15 minutes, I had a beautiful smile again. And I had zero discomfort. I am so happy that Dr. Marko took over my patients on my retirement. I have complete confidence that they are in excellent hands. Thanks Despina!

Dr. Marko and her staff is great. They take a conservative approach to keep you teeth in good condition, and preventing unnecessary work done to a tooth. Best dentist I have been to.

Dr. Marko and her staff are fantastic! Never have I been more comfortable at a dentist before. The hygienists, Jamie and Yvette, are so welcoming and Dr. Marko is hands down the best dentist I’ve ever been to. Highly recommend!
