I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the outstanding care I received during my recent visit. From the warm welcome at the front desk to the professionalism and skill of the dental team, I felt completely at ease and well taken care of. The entire experience was smooth, and I truly felt that my needs were prioritized throughout. I even returned for a second appointment on the same day.

Thank you dental team for your attention to detail, and making me feel comfortable with my dental treatments. I will definitely recommend your office to others and look forward to my next appointment.

Warm regards,
The lady who felt comfortable to have double visits!

I welcome back hygienist Jazz.! She's thorough, thoughtful and easy to talk to about what is going on with my gums and teeth and how to best address it. She also has a sense of humor and has a positive personality. She is one of the best hygienists I've experienced at Tara Hills Dental.

I have never met a dentist that is supportive not only to me but to her staff. While at my last appointment she was talking to me and was also talking to her assistant not just barking orders. If really made me feel very comfortable.
Valarie is a very sweet person as well 🙂

It was interesting and educational and a lot to take in. I’m in an unusual situation that I need to weigh my options and decide if in the long or short run if spending the money is worth the investment. Still trying to decide!

Well I made my decision on what path I want to take as far as treatment for myself. I responded by email to the office personnel and have yet to hear anything back. At this point I’m a little confused.

I enjoyed my first visit and look forward to my next one! The team as a whole were all very informative and helpful. From the start, I spoke with Valerie about my insurance and she took the extra steps to contact my insurance and double check everything was good to go, even told me some things I didn't know about my insurance. She called me to see if I can come in earlier (they were ahead of their schedule) to get same day cleaning! I'm so glad it worked out and I was able to do that. Lena took my x-rays and was super friendly and I enjoyed our conversations from my dental history, any questions I had and just getting to know each other a little bit. The hygienist (I'm so sorry, I forgot her name) did a great job at scaling my teeth and wasnt too rough or painful, as it has been over a year since my last cleaning. Dr. El Ghaoui was welcoming and I believe her way of dentistry is conservative. My last dentist told me i had cavities on all my molars but Dr. El Ghaoui reassured me my teeth were great. I was a little nervous as I haven't had any cavities in my life so it was good to hear that Dr. El Ghaoui told me I had good strong teeth! I've also been interested in getting invisalign for a long time and the team took the time and effort to do a consultation and run down on pricing and payment options, which has never been done for me before. This is by far the best dental experience I have ever had! I highly recommend going to Tara Hills Denistry for Dr. El Ghaoui and her team!!

I found this place online and decided to give it a try due to all the "great" reviews.
since day one all I keep hearing from the dentist is Oh you need a deep clean, over and over again (never had or needed one in my life)
I was still breastfeeding when I started coming here so my gums weren't in the best shape, and now I'm pregnant again so same issue...
Constant push for braces when I've already explained I CANNOT afford it.
I am fully aware I need braces, still...pushes it every single time I come and I reminded her I cannot afford it.
She also recommended a cleaning every 4 months, so I came.
I didn't need it, I didn't ask for it.
as I am checking out they tell me I owe over $120.. So i asked, well doesn't my insurance cover it ?
the very nice receptionist checked for me and said I'm only covered for 2 cleanings a year, she was very apologetic, I reminded her that's not HER fault, the dentist should have checked with the front desk before making such recommendation! I've been coming here maybe a year and a half and I kept saying I was going to find a new dental office and didn't.
I most definitely will now.
Most of the staff is very nice.
To make things worse, They haven't had a dental hygienist in over half a year or longer so there's that.
The dentist is always rushing between patients to try and get it all done instead of hiring temporary Hygienist to help her.
That's MY experience..
