Desert Vista Dental and Dr. Smith and his team are amazing, kind and professional! I have had some negative dental experiences in the past with other dentists, so I was quite fearful to try someplace new, but I can truthfully say, Dr. Smith is the best!!! I have seen him 3-4 times now (cleaning, consults and crown), and I feel not only comfortable coming back but I will bring the rest of my family! He will be our dentist from now on!!! Thank you!!!

Dr. Javia and her staff have served my family for over a decade. I’ve experienced dental care from doctors all over the country, and you will not find one who is as qualified, patient, considerate, and honest than she is.

Amazing practice! Great attention to detail and they always make sure my teeth/mouth/gums are as healthy as possible. Never have been to a place that pays more attention and does a more thorough exam than they do! Both Dr Smith and Dr Javia are welcoming, friendly and incredibly knowledgeable. They really treat their patients with care! And their staff is just as great. We have lots of family who see them as well and only have positive things to say. 10/10!

I have been a patient of Dr. Manisha Javia for many years. As happy a patient as I have always been, I didn't appreciate just how happy I was until last weekend, when a dental emergency cropped up out of nowhere. After placing an after-hours message on their patient hotline, I very quickly received a call from Dr. Javia herself. She quickly got up to speed on what was going on, got me on medication to begin addressing the problem, and set me up with an emergency appointment. That's the kind of service that I think goes well above and beyond, and makes me wish there was at least one or two more stars that I could check.

I have been coming here for at least 18 years. The staff and dentists have always been respectful, kind and knowledgeable. I went through 3 offices before landing at Desert Vista. I believe they consistently provide the highest quality care while always considering patient comfort.

I go to Dr. Alex Wardian— he’s awesome! He’s very good at explaining to you with the whole procedure and asking you a lot of questions. Very thorough and he also follow up with how my root canal felt the next day. It’s very nice of him to do that and I appreciated very much!

I am so thankful that I am able to comeback to this dental office after moving to Central Phoenix for a couple of years as I needed extra care while recovering from a knee replacement surgery! I needed extra treatments due to the neglect and it wasn't long before I was back on track! Then last year I discovered that they were accept!ing my insurance through Medicare so it doesn't get much better than that

I have received great care for over a decade from this office. Dr Smith is patient and talks you through dental procedures. This is really helpful when you feel anxious or nervous. Everyone is courteous and respectful. The office is timely and efficient. If there is ever an issue with anything procedural or financial they take the time to resolve it and treat you with respect and as an individual worthy of their time and attention.

I talked on the phone about an upcoming appointment and was really nervous about seeing the doctor. I spoke with Ashley and she walked me through the process of what the procedure entailed and made me feel super confident in my decision to move forward! She was a very bright young lady and I would be honored to have her work for me. Management and doctors please take note as my upcoming procedure would not have taken place if it wasn't for this outstanding young lady!! She knew exactly how to put my fears to rest.

This place is the best!! I love my hygienist, my dentist and my orthodontist and all the assistants and staff. They all work together so beautifully. Even the billing is streamlined without any insurance confusion. Everyone is always in good spirits with the highest of skills. I received crowns that look magical, my hygienist was kind and efficient, my orthodontist is the best there is. I don’t know how in the world he is fixing my deep overbite, but he is!!
