PATIENT REVIEWS

My son has been a braces patient at Lake Jeanette Ortho for the last year and has had a great experience. The staff is always very friendly and efficient. The waiting ares are open welcoming spaces with lots of things to entertain, including iPads. More than once, they have gone out of their way to work with our schedule, once even offering to see my son immediately when experience discomfort. We are very happy we chose Lake Jeanette!!

My kids now love going to the dentist thanks to Lake Jeanette Dentistry. It’s a welcoming, professional, friendly environment. All of their staff seem happy, cheerful and love what they do. My child had to have oral surgery and they communicated finances upfront so there were no surprises and even scheduled it at the beginning of the following year so I could get full benefit coverage. Lake Jeanette staff, from the front desk to the treatment area, are really passionate about what they do and it shows! Keep up the good work

My son has anxiety and sensory issues.Dental visits have always been a trigger. So today when we went for our orthodontic consult I was prepared for the worse. Our appoint started on time and was quick and simple The staff was so sweet and picked up on his anxiety right away. The bedside manner was amazing and they took time to explain things to him to ease his nerves. He left there with a smile on his face and said “Mom I like this place.” I am blown away. We will for sure be trusting them for our orthodontic care. May even switch him for regular dental care as well ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Lake Jeanette Orthodontics

We were well overdue for our children’s dental care due to scheduling laziness, and, fear from a horrible experience with our first child years ago in a different city and state. That experience left me in tears in the parking lot because those dentists belittled me and my parenting. Lake Jeanette staff did the complete opposite; they patiently helped me through the whole sign up process and only discussed the teeth of each of my children. Above that, they were very pleasant, kind, and informative about each step of the process. All of that was sufficient for me. My kids, however, loved the whole experience which makes this a solid 5 star review! They loved the building, the toys, the iPads, the fact that they each were seen at the same time (no “who’s first?” and waiting) and the stickers and prizes, in addition to the photo/toothbrush/floss goodie bag. My daughter said later that night, “I really like the dentist’s office.” THANK YOU!

I cannot say enough about Lake Jeanette Pediatric Dentistry; The entire staff is incredibly patient, flexible and kind! They go above and beyond (and take extra time!) to make sure my 4 year old receives great care despite his gag reflex and extreme fear of the dentist. Sincerely appreciate all they do to ensure we are taken care of. Would definitely recommend to any moms with fearful little ones!

We have been patients with Dr. Mike for years now.  The waiting area has plenty of fun things to keep a child busy while waiting. My kids look forward to seeing Dr. Mike or Dr. Rebecca and getting a prize from the cabinet after their dental visit is done.  The staff are all friendly and very knowledable about insurance and made me feel more comfortable when my kids have had dental work done.  A+++ for the whole office.

I could not be happier with the staff and practice! From scheduling a quick appointment, preparing us prior to the appointment, the extremely nice and considerate staff… all made what would have been a very stressful and emotional appointment for my 2 year old and myself a very easy and painless experience.

I discovered this practice online and was impressed with their website. I’ve been pleased at every step of the way. Their staff is professional, prompt, helpful and kind. They have a designated staff person who can help with insurance issues, and she spent time with me on the phone and in person patiently making sure I understood everything. It’s all gone exactly as we discussed and they continue to make things easy! I have 3 other kids and am thrilled that we can do orthodontics AND dentistry in one place. We scheduled an orthodontics appt on the same day everyone is getting their annual cleanings. One stop shop! Love it. Highly recommend Lake Jeanette Orthodontics and Pediatric Dentistry.

They are so awesome! Very gentle, understanding, and patient. My 2 year old went for her first appointment and they took great care of her. No kicks, screams, tears, nothing. My daughter loved the visit. I also really love that they take a picture of your child and give you a copy to take home. They do not keep any insurances “in-network”. They do all the claim filing for you.

We have been going to lake Jeanette orthodontics for the past 6 years. Both my kids started from their first year. The staff is amazing and friendly, facility is welcoming and doctors are very knowledgeable and patient. The staff recognize each member of our family and that means a lot to us. I highly recommend this practice.

I wish I was a child again. My kids love to go to the dentist. Adult dentist offices should take note: flavored gloves, sound proof rooms, prizes, and balloons. Dr. Mike is so awesome and so is the rest of the staff. Ohh and you get to take a picture at each 6 month appointment. It’s like a little mini photo shoot!

My daughter needed a good amount of things done to her teeth. So we opted for the surgery to get all of it done on one visit. And the staff at the surgery center were incredible they were so sweet and accommodating. They complimented my 5yr old the whole time and made sure to ask about her stuffed animal she brought. Just really in awe of the thoughtfulness and kindness we received every step till the end and even after. So blessed we found them.

My little Kanaan just went to his first dentist appointment ever at Lake Jeanette … I was amazed. He did SO well with them, and they got through the entire cleaning process… he’s 2.5 … they were soooooo good with him and make him feel comfortable and took their time with him. I’m so glad we chose this office!!! Also, he can’t stop telling people about how he wore sunglasses got to “ride a roller coaster chair” at the dentist haha makes me happy that he loved it!!! Thanks so much for making his first experience a great one! This will matter for years to come!! Thank you ❤️

We took our 16 month old for her first trip to the dentist the other day and it was such a surprisingly enjoyable experience. She was kind of weary at first but the Hygienist Alyssa did such an amazing job keeping Lily calm during her cleaning and inspection. Dr. Andrews was also such a delight and very informative. If anybody in the area is looking for a Pediatric Dentist, I HIGHLY recommend Lake Jeanette Orthodontics & Pediatric Dentistry

I love this place….they have had my daughter and I since she was 2! Someone recommended Dr. Mike and his staff to us. Once we got there I fell in love. Every staff member is excellent, I can’t tell that anyone ever has a bad day b/c it never shows on their faces. I even got my braces done there and they treated me so well. They still treat us so well, and that is so important in today’s world. Dr. Mike really knows how to pick the best staff, they are all so lovely! I really do enjoy my day at the dentist and my daughter has never not one time complained.

My daughter loves coming here. All the staff are wonderful and really great to kids and their parents. If there’s an issue they work to get things figured out. I. Ever thought my child would love the dentist but she does and she’s had two mouth surgeries, braces and root canals. We love the dentists/orthodontists! Beyond wonderful office!

Everyone was fantastic from the moment we walked in the door! My 6 year old was at ease the entire time. I would recommend this location to anyone!! Dr Mike was so kind and even though I could tell they were busy he took the time to sit and actually talk to my daughter and make her feel important. Leanne was amazing as well. She explained everything every step of the way.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE experience! They made my two year old who was terrified of the dentist have the BEST time. Leanne was incredible and cleaned his teeth, sang him songs, and gave him lots of goodies through the appointment to keep him happy. She even “cleaned” his loveys teeth before doing his to get him comfortable. I highly recommend them. Thanks for providing such a great experience for us both! I’m still in shock at how well it went.

MMy daughter is 8 and we’ve been going to this practice since she was 2! The staff is friendly, accommodating and genuinely have your child’s best interest at heart. The hygienists are hardworking and I can tell they really enjoy working with his population. Dr. Mike and Dr. Andrews are a dream team. They are up-to-date on current research, techniques and best practices for pediatrics. They have a great way of talking to parents and educating us too. Also, as a working mom I appreciate the flexibility in their scheduling and email reminders. It is a very organized practice and team oriented. I wish I could find a practice like this one for myself!

Lake Jeanette is an excellent practice.  The staff is always friendly and personable.  The office is clean and professional and I love the open concept so that your child isn’t isolated in a room to have her teeth cleaned.  Especially young children can see how well other kids are doing so they know that it is okay and they don’t have to be nervous or scared.  I would recommend this office to everyone!

My 8 yr old had a huge fear of the dentist…. To the point our last dentist told us our son was no longer welcome until he could get his anxiety under control. A ton of people suggested Lake Jeanette so we had our first visit today. I can’t say enough amazing things about this place! One visit and my son came home saying he loved the dentist and couldn’t wait to go back. They took the time to explain to him what they were doing and allowed him to feel the tools so he would know it won’t hurt, and talked to him about his interests. I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t get it together and I cried because they did so well with my son and my son was so at ease. It was a huge turn around from the last place we went to!

Our youngest daughter was recently adopted into our family from Colombia and currently only speaks Spanish. I went in with the expectation I’d have to translate for her, but instead the office had already made intentional effort to place her with a staff member who could communicate with her in her native language. Amazing experience , thank you Carolina!

We absolutely love Dr. Mike..love him and his staff so much that we drive in from Raleigh. My daughter is four, and everytime we visit, he spends a lot of time just chatting with her and making her smile! The office is very clean, and the staff is warm and welcoming. There is even a great play area for the wait, however, there is rarely a wait! I wouldn’t change a thing, and am very grateful to have Dr. Mike as my child’s dentist!

Dr. Mike is awesome!! Since 2008, I’ve  had 4 kids (3 with braces) grow up in this office.  It’s a wonderful convenience to have dentist and ortho in the same location. My kids loved it here. I’ve moved to Colorado in the last year and the commute to finish my sons (last teen at home) braces is worth it. The office staff is no nonsense but efficient and have always been friendly, helpful and accommodated my schedule.  Side note… I don’t show up late, miss appointments or disrupt their schedule without the courtesy of a phone call.

Fantastic practice. My children are seen at this office for dentistry and orthodontics. It is fabulous to be able to take care of everything at one location. My daughter, who curently has braces, gets a good cleaning every time her wires are changed. They have all of the latest and greatest colors of bands – she loves that. The office is large, clean, and well run. I receive email reminders for check ups, and I can confirm the appointments online. Worth the 30 minute drive from K-ville!

Wonderful office, we use Dr. Andrews and her and the entire staff from the front office to the assistants are very sweet and awesome with my daughter. She always looks forward to every visit ,and even if we are running early they are always more than willing to accommodate our needs. Would never take my daughter anywhere else and it’s a 2 hour drive from Charlotte to them for us.

We love this place. We are new to NC and my 3yr old loves this place. She always looks forwards to going to the dentist so she can get her cool sun glasses, sticker, gift and balloon. Let’s not forget about the cool take home photo as well. We have had two appts with them so far and each visit was efficient and the place is super clean. We will be patients until we can’t anymore.

Y’all, this place is the BEST! My son has major dental anxiety, and the entire staff is super crazy accommodating and wonderful and patient. When my child had a dental emergency right at closing, our favorite hygienist even stayed behind just because she knows about his anxiety issues. We had a “not-as-great” experience with another pediatric practice this place has exceeded every expectation I could even unreasonably have. I kind of wish they saw adults because I would never go anywhere else!

I love this Practice and so do my children. We only go twice a year but the staff is so nice and sweet to the kids. You can tell that they not only love what they do but they are experienced and love working with kids. The office has plenty of space and it has the best pediatric set up that I have ever seen. My 18 month old son just had his first visit with Dr. Mike and although he’s too young to understand everything yet, everything was very quick and smooth and he loved getting his picture take for the no cavity club with his big brother. I would recommend this practice to anyone who wants quality patient care, a great atmosphere, and wonderfully caring staff to take care of their kids’ teeth and the parents nerves.

The compassionate and highly skilled staff have done a great job in caring for my daughter and son’s teeth. My son, in particular, is tricky because he has (high functioning) Autism and sensory issues. They always take the time to make sure he is comfortable and can cope with what is happening. They work with me to come up with an appropriate treatment plan. I’m so happy we found them!

We have been taking my son here for 7 years. The Doctors and staff give exceptional care to my son, they really take the time to make him comfortable and they are very informative. Both the doctor and the assistant give a full detailed review of the appointment, really taking their time to go over everything. It’s all in the details! Everyone from the front desk to the time you check out has always been very kind and accommodating.

After leaving from his first cleaning at the dentist today, my 2 year old asked if he could go back. He said it was fun! Lake Jeanette truly strives to make every child feel comfortable and gives them a positive and enjoyable experience. They attend to every detail, are organized and get you in and out quickly which is critical with young children.

I cannot say enough good things about this practice. From the moment you walk in the door to the minute you leave you feel welcomed and well taken care of. My daughter hates going to the dentist. She now can’t wait to go to see everyone. They do an excellent job helping the kids feel safe and able to trust them. I have never felt so much positive energy in one place. I even wish I were a kid again.
