PATIENT REVIEWS
Check out what some of our happy patients are saying about us:
★★★★★
Dr Louis Core is simply an awesome dentist. Do not know how else to put it. In my experience he has gone out of his way to ensure that my dental care is top notch. He’s not only a great dentist, but also he is a very nice human being, a very caring human being. He is one of the few dentists I have seen that makes sure that you experience little or no pain. In getting a crown done, he used a topical agent which numbed any pain from a needle, the result, a painless root canal and crown. Not only that, he is utilizing the latest in technology, from a laser, to 3D technology to map and create a crown, it’s simply amazing. My last crown was done in the office in less than an hour and it’s a perfect fit, I cannot recommend Dr Louis Core enough, if experience, the latest technology, and a caring, dentist is what you are after, I cannot imagine doing better than Dr Core.
★★★★★
Everyone has been so kind and gentle, working hard to get me in quickly, understanding with my anxiety, great with my insurance, and very personable- from scheduling to payment, cleanings and other dental work. And it’s wonderful they do the crowns in-office the same visit, so no worries about a temporary falling off
★★★★★
Me & my Family have been patients of Dr. Louis Core’s Dentistry for 18 years & counting. Great & friendly atmosphere with the Professional Level attention your Beautiful Smiles deserve. I highly recommend the Legacy Dental Group & Dr. Louis Core to anyone looking for a great Family Dentist to trust your teeth to. Best Regards, Ronnie Williams & Family
★★★★★
After not going to the dentist for 40 years, it was a pleasant surprise to see that it was a painless experience. They fixed all the issues I had. They also take the time to explain what you will be charged and what the insurance will pay, so there are no surprises. Dr. Core and his staff are very professional and knowledgeable in their practice. I’m an electronic tech and was impressed with the state of the art equipment that he has on hand. The staff look like having fun which calms the heck out of me.
★★★★★
I could have not been any happier going to the dentist! This office and staff have got it down! After searching and searching for a new practice to go to I was referred to Legacy and I’m so happy I went with the recommendation. The staff is friendly and fun and are very professional as well. The dentist is very professional and friendly as well. Great education where it’s needed. Fast, efficient.. I will be going here for years to come. They are updated on technologies and study for the advancement in the dental field. I wish I would have known about this place prior to my crown elsewhere with the same day 3D printed crown this would have made my life so much easier and better. CEREC was a requirement for my search, this place has it all in a practice. Thank you Legacy for such an awesome time at the dentist (who says that?! Lol that’s how you know it’s a good place).
★★★★★
My first visit with Dr Core was great. I needed a tooth removed and was very nervous about it. He talked to me for about 45min to calm me down and walk me through the procedure. I’ve got another appointment with him next week for a follow-up and couldn’t be happier with him and his staff. Jeremy was a breeze to work with on scheduling as I work nights and have limited time during the day. I wish they were open weekends though. Nancy is the coolest assistant I’ve ever met. She and my wife got along so well it’s like they’re best friends. I would recommend this place to anyone in need of a new dentist.
★★★★★
As an out of state visitor, I had a tooth infection on July 25th while camping. On my return to Phoenix the next day, I searched my insurance website for a list of dentists (1,163 in a 5 mile radius). I came across Dr. Louis Core bio and reviews of Legacy Dental Group. I liked what I read and called for an appointment on Monday. Maria explained everything about filling out the forms on their website. She scheduled me the next day! I checked in for my appointment and the administrative staff (Isabel) was very pleasant and helpful! The dental assistant Brittany did an awesome job with my x-rays! Dr. Core examined my teeth and stated they were abcessed and prescribed antibiotics. Maria then sat down with me and explained the treatment plan. I was glad there was no pressuring in other dental matters that I knew I had. My next appointment will be to have root canals & crowns done. So far its been an “AWESOME” experience and I will be updating my review after that appointment. I was so impressed and felt at home with Dr. Core and his staff that I even mentioned traveling out of state to come here for my dental needs!! Wish I could give them more than 5 stars!!
★★★★★
Being a little bias since I did work there, but everyone is just wonderful! The doctors, assistants and hygienist are top notch and let’s not forget about the front office who can help you with all your dental insurance questions and more. The dental work is some of the best I have seen and I was in the dental field for over 35 years! I could go on and on about how much I love this office but I feel like you need to go in and check it out for yourself!
★★★★★
Absolutely AMAZING experience!! I always leave the office happy and smiling. Everyone is extremely personable and approachable and the atmosphere is always relaxed. Dr. Core always brings the laughs with his hilarious sense of humor and witty remarks. When you step foot in this office you’ll be treated like a person not just another patient. I would highly recommend anyone and everyone to come to Legacy for all of their dental needs!
★★★★★
Hands down the most comfortable, painless, and dare I say even joyous dental experience of my life. Dr. Core is the one dentist I have gone to who has taken my fear of dentists away. His staff is beyond friendly and courteous. There are never surprises with billing and his quality of work is second to none. Take it from someone who neglected the dentist for many years due to fear and apprehension, Dr. Core and his staff are the best you will go to.
★★★★★
Legacy dental definitely holds its name! My wife and I have been visiting this office for a little over a year now. I called in asking for a right away appt since I was having severe pain through out the weekend and they got me in on same day. Scheduled for an x-ray only since that’s all they had available at end of day. They went beyond my expectations and stayed after hours to do my root canal. They didn’t want me going home with pain. I want to thank and give recognition to Cynthia and Maria who assisted my needs! Very friendly, funny and great people to trust! Thank you legacy!
★★★★★
I have a lot of anxiety about the dentist, and am not the easiest or most normal patient. Dr. Core, and all of the staff at Legacy are the absolute best. They are so kind and helpful. Jamie the hygienist is so friendly and nice. Dr. Core showed me my cavity on a TV. The lady at the front clearly explained the billing. Dr. Core works quickly but efficiently and does a great job. I didn’t even feel the needle for the novocaine (and that’s the worst part). I even got an email from them afterward, repeating the dentist’s instructions. I am so lucky to have found this office, because previous dentists have not been this great. I would highly recommend this office for anyone, but especially those who are nervous about the dentist.
★★★★★
Dr Core and his staff are all awesome. My family have been going to see him for years now and they are always friendly and professional. He offers sedation dentistry and makes crowns while you wait so you don’t have to put in a filling and come back later. My husband had a lot of extractions, root canals, crowns and fillings and after a few years they are still holding up while other dentists he had visited had work that disintegrated within a year. Dr Core also warranties his work. I had over 15 fillings put in and they make sure you are comfortable and don’t argue if you say you need more numbing. Oh and how can I forget the chocolate chip cookies, coffee and water 🙂
★★★★★
Quick, easy, and with competent, friendly hygienists, I love Dr. Core! The ONLY bad thing I can say (and it’s 100% out of their control) is this: The parking spaces in their little business complex are a foot too narrow. Freaks me out to try to park between two cars because you can’t get your door open, and some jerkoff WILL dent your nice, new car. Fortunately, Legacy Dental has scheduling super-early and super-late, so you can go when the other businesses are closed!
★★★★★
I always have a great experience here. Dr. Core is awesome as are his staff. Shout out to Maria and Nancy for making someone with high anxiety feel comfortable and wanting to come back. This dental practice is the first I’ve encountered that doesn’t guilt or shame and is understanding to the patients needs and anxieties. Thank you for your empathy and professionalism.
★★★★★
Moved here 5 years ago and haven’t been to the dentist since we moved. I had a great experience and will continue my treatment here. Friendly and down to earth. Made me feel very comfortable. Not crazy about the amount of money I will spend to correct some issues but I believe it will be well spent here.
★★★★★
I have been to so many different dentists in the past. This is by far the best place I’ve been to. Dr. Brann, Dr. Core and the rest of the staff are friendly, courteous, and timely. I wait maybe 3 minutes before being called into the back. I’ve had no problems with anesthesia and they always make me feel comfortable. I have major anxiety in dental offices and they make me feel more relaxed. I truly recommend this place to everyone.
★★★★★
Excellent staff at Legacy Dental. They make you feel at ease, and treat you with great care. No surprises. They will go over the work needed , and the cost, in advance an appointment. The office itself is well-kept, and has a very relaxing environment. No waiting behind a closed do in anticipation. My son and I have been going to Dr Core for nearly 20 years, and I always recommend Legacy Dental to all my family and friends.
★★★★★
I could truly spin quite the yarn going on and on and on about how Dr. Core is the best dentist I have ever had the joy of working with but I will try to keep this short and sweet. Most of us are afraid of going to the dentist for a multidue of reasons. Some of those reason (and in some cases, excuses) are as follows: no spare time, money is tight, fear (which is my MAIN problem) nervousness, embarrassment and maybe even a little shame. Regardless of what keeps you from going to the dentist when you should, you are well aware that there are definately times where you HAVE to go, and the scads of reasons to not go can’t diminish that fact. If you have the reasons to not go, let Dr. Core be a reason to go. Personally I am afraid of anyone whose name demands that Dr. prefix, but my fears were almost instantaneously put to rest once I began treatment at Legacy Dental Group. I told them I was a wuss and the office staff made sure that I got the right assistant to accompy Dr. Core with my procedures. I couldn’t be any more pleased with the decision to see Dr. Core, in fact I have referred a couple of friends of mine and they can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Core and his practice. The office is comforting and the all of the staff is welcoming and they do your best to make you feel at ease. I now feel silly for ever putting off going to see the dentist. However, in my defense I have never come across a more compassionate or patient dentist and I am totally grateful that I did.
★★★★★
I finally found the Dental group I need and will return too. I will be honest I have floated around and I am very happy now. Wonderful staff no surprises. The Doctor was very nice and welcoming. Getting the work done. Thank you Legacy!
★★★★★
The hidden treasure to be found at Legacy Dental is a sense of community. I happen to be challenged with Parkinson’s Disease which makes it difficult to relax under any circumstance. But whenever I’m in the chair at Legacy Dental, I have no worries. Dr. Core and staff are compassionate, skilled and fun-loving to the max. Do you face health challenges? I recommend you make Dr. Core your dentist of choice. From my heart to yours, he’s the BEST, the BOMB, and the GOLD STANDARD.
★★★★★
I haven’t been to a dentist for quite a few years. I am deathly afraid of the dentist. This office made me feel so welcome and got to have nitrous so didn’t feel anything. Everyone at this office is so friendly..make you feel like family.

★★★★★
On Monday morning I discovered a purplish blister in the back of my throat and thought the worst case scenario. I called Legacy dental group and they saw me at 1 PM that same day. Thank God it was just a blood blister which Dr. core indicated is not serious. He was able to lance it and send me on my way. I have been a patient of Dr. Core for a very long time and have always received great service from him and his staff. I whole heartedly would recommend them to anyone!
★★★★★
My daughter suggested i wait til i’m done with my treatment before leaving this rating, but I really wanted share the GREAT experience I had the other day at Legacy Dental! Julie, the hygienist was absolutely the best! She’s cute & perky, but so smart and informative & super-helpful! Then, Dr. Core came in and just confirmed my 1st impression about this office! He was fantastic! No, the news was not what i wanted to hear but i did leave their office feeling reassured that they would take care of me and not hurt me on Monday when i have to return.
★★★★★
This is an awesome dentistry staff, by far the best I’ve ever gone to. I’ve never been a big fan of going to the dentist in my younger years due to my horrible experiences with them, but Dr. Core and his staff have completely dispelled all my anxieties of going to the dentist. They’re all very professional, easy to talk to and ask questions, they really know their “stuff”, and are very friendly. The office is beautiful, and calming, has a nice big screen TV to watch (usually cartoons for the kids, but I love toons!), and they offer you free water while you wait. Dr. Core and his staff have a great sense of humor, too, which I’ve personally found is helpful in making feel more relaxed. It doesn’t matter what I’m going in for, whether it’s a root canal, a check up or a simple routine cavity, I know they’ll give me the best care possible. I’d also like to mention that if you are ever in need of a shot prior to work being done, Dr Core is a pro at this. I’ve never experienced a painless shot in my mouth until I started going to him. I don’t know how he does it, but I just know that I no longer have any fears of needles getting anywhere near my mouth. I’ve been going to Dr. Core for several years now, and will frequently refer people to him when asked if I know of a good dentist. I am hooked, and a patient for life… I just hope Dr. Core never decides to make a career change. LOL He’s truly a ‘one of a kind’ dentist!
★★★★★
The waiting area and back area were clean. The hygienist who worked on me was fantastic. She explained everything before she did it, and was ready to stop if I ever got too nervous. She was friendly and encouraging, and gentle! The dentist was great, explained what I needed and what my options we’re with regards to pain management and sedation. She was very compassionate. I did the sedation here last year when I needed a lot or work done on my teeth, and it was smooth and painless. I was still somewhat aware. It felt like when you’re almost asleep, but I couldn’t feel any pain, and didn’t feel nervous. I have trouble with Novocaine not working so it was a huge improvement. I impressed with their billing department too, they’re great about explaining charges and insurance, or paying cash. They’re patient and understanding.
★★★★★
We are new to the area and needed our usual six month check up and cleaning. We found the entire staff, Lindsey, Tatianna, and the hygienist, Jamie, very professional, friendly and helpful. You can definitely tell they love what they are doing. Dr Core must surely know that happy employees make happy customers. They truly made us feel like family. The facilities were pleasant, comfortable, and most importantly clean. We would not hesitate to recommend LegacyDental to our friends and family. They took a seemingly unpleasant and uncomfortable experience and turned it into a positive encounter. Thanks guys.
★★★★★
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Brann, Dr. Core, and everyone on staff at Legacy Dental Group. I have had an extreme fear of the dentist for a number of years, and they put me at total ease. They are fantastic at what they do, use all state of the art equipment, and are just really friendly people. I am so glad I found them, and plan on being a patient for many years to come, and would recommend them to anyone.
★★★★★
Dr. Core isn’t a regular dentist, he’s a cool dentist!!! In all seriousness, once I was recommended to go to this office for dental work & ortho, I haven’t gone anywhere else and dont plan on it! Dr. Core does great work and is very informative. The staff is very friendly, funny, and also informative with appointments, appointment reminders, upcoming work, what work was just completed, if you have a balance, etc. Bottom Line – I highly recommend Legacy Dental Group!!
★★★★★
I was going to a not so great dentist office and dreaded going every 6 months because of the crappy hygienist who made me bleed every time and who was rude!! Our family was referred to Legacy Dental Group and I absolutely cannot say enough great things about this place!! The front desk staff was wonderful and helpful when I first got there late because I got lost!! Then Nancy was my hygienist and she was gentle, thorough and answered all my questions!! What was even more wonderful is that they have Saturday appointments too!! Finally! A dental office that I won’t dread going to!! Thank you for a great first visit with you!!
★★★★★
Oh man, where to start? I’m a big dude but the thought of dental work puts me into the state of mind of being 10 years old and in the fetal position full of terror. One step into Dr. Core’s office alleviated all of that anxiety. Dr. Core and all of his staff have been completely understanding and sympathetic to my concerns and when I learned that the extensive work I needed done could be completed while I was sedated, I was sold. In the three or four appointments I’ve had with them, they have rarely left me alone. I’ve never felt like a random patient waiting in a cold room. They actually have made me feel like I was the only patient in the place. This pleased my ego. All of the work that needed to be done (and ultimately was done) was explained in detail to me so that I always knew what was going on and what to expect. After my oral surgery, Dr. Core called me personally on a Saturday night to make sure I was okay. I was shocked when I answered the phone. How many doctors do that anymore??? Every member of the staff has been amazing to work with and very friendly. My insurance coverage was broken down and explained to me in great detail before any work was done. I have found the dentist I will be going to for a long, long time. If you have any anxiety about dentists, you will not be disappointed in how you’re treated here. Don’t avoid dentists like I did. Just go here. You’ll be happy you did.
★★★★★
I have been going to Dr. Core for 15 years even before he opened his current office. He is without a doubt the best dentist I have ever seen and he is surrounded by an awesome staff. I highly recommend Dr. Core, plus he is one hell of a nice guy.
★★★★★
I always have a great experience here. Dr. Core is awesome as are his staff. Shout out to Maria and Nancy for making someone with high anxiety feel comfortable and wanting to come back. This dental practice is the first I’ve encountered that doesn’t guilt or shame and is understanding to the patients needs and anxieties. Thank you for your empathy and professionalism.
★★★★★
Fear the dentist no more! What a wonderful place! I’ve been a patient of Dr. Core’s for years and he is, by far, the best dentist I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. I love my appointments. His assistant, dental hygienist, and office staff are wonderful people that know how to make you feel comfortable and like you are part of the family. When it comes to the scary and painful procedures he is so gentle and seems to make them as painless as possible. I recommend this practice for everyone, especially those with a fear of the dentist and kids. Additional note: we have moved across town and replaced almost every doctor (including specialists), but our dental family cannot and will not ever be replaced. It’s worth the drive for our family.
