PATIENT REVIEWS

I have been under Dr. Vargas’ care for over 2 years. She has saved me from an infection on my tooth root without my knowledge till i went to see her on an unrelated cracked tooth. I had no idea that was even infected till she showed me the X-rays and photos. It could have traveled to my central nervous system. Her staff in Cumming is a fun group and kept me calm as we worked to fix the issue and get me back to good oral care. I thank God for Dr. Vargas and her team. If you need the best dental care and someone who will pay attention to the details look no further.

I was so happy to find North Atlanta Dentist for my family. The hygienist was thorough with Explaining and cleaning my teeth. One of the best cleaning I ever had in years. If your afraid to go to the dentist because of COVID, you won’t be going to North Atlanta. This was a very clean office that went beyond what I expected. Covid-19 is real and they are taking every necessary steps to safeguard their patients. Thank you

I have been going here for 12 years. very kind and caring staff and that includes Dr. Vargas. I have some anxiety (who doesn’t going to the dentist) and a terrible gag reflex. they have always been very patient and accommodating. my kids went here when they were teens and they were very good with them too.

This was the first cleaning visit after the pandemic started. I felt extremely safe in the office. They implemented so many precautions to keep themself and the patient safe. You wait in the car until they are ready for you, they measure your temperature, they make you wash your hands with soap, rinse your mouth with hydrogen peroxide solution. Everybody wears masks ( 2 at the same time), gloves, face shield, and disposable gowns. And they do not use high water pressure instruments to avoid aerosol, but only manual ones.. It couldn’t have been better! Great job of keeping your associates and customer safety as top priority. Of course the service was great as usual!

I love the staff at this place. They are kind and always help me to get the services I need. I moved to the other side of the city and still come back here for my dental procedures and regular cleaning. Prices are fair and doctors are very sweet and understanding.

Dr Vargas and her team are excellent. They explain all of the procedures thoroughly including all costs. They explain care and any recovery completely. They are very caring and gentle. I needed a crown which they provided. It looks great and even more important it feels so comfortable and natural. This is a great dental practice!

Dr. Vargas is AWESOME!! She explains everything in detail and gives you her honest opinion. The staff is friendly and professional. I went to another dentist that quoted me a much higher price. Dr. Vargas quoted a much lower price and is helpful with payments. She also is bilingual! I would DEFINITELY recommend her!!!

Very friendly and personal staff. I always have a wonderful experience at their DULUTH Office. My dental hygienist Rodica is sooo awesome. She makes everyone’s day that much better with her wit and humor. Dr. Wong and Dr. Vargas are the best dentist you’ll ever meet and they help you to understand the importance of preserving your smiles. Finally, the staff at the front desk always makes you feel welcome and important. Caint day enough about this team of professional and I am glad to have them taking care of me.

After moving away for 7 plus years and now back in the area, I’m delighted to find the same staff. Unfortunately I’m sure something took longer on the procedure someone was having, so I was there almost 3 hrs. But they are the best I have gone to.

The way I get treated was very personable and warm. Super friendly staff and really care about the patient unlike other places where you feel just like a $ sign. Here, I felt like a PERSON. Also they did such an incredible job with my cleaning and made me feel relaxed. The place is up to date and super clean. I came here because my husband had previously gone and had nothing but positive things to say about this office, so I HAD to check it out, and I was not disappointed.

My family and I have been patients at North Atlanta Family Dentistry for more than 5 years. We have been delighted with every dentist, dental hygienist and staff member there! They are warm, caring and professional at every encounter. From simple preventative care to fillings and even dental implants, this is our office of choice. We highly recommend North Atlanta Family Dentistry!

I was in severe pain with a cracked tooth and it needed to be extracted. I get a ton of anxiety when I go to the dentist because of a previous bad experience but everyone at the office put me at ease. Megan Smith did the extraction and was great! i highly recommend this location. Thank you!

As a prior assistant who worked in all areas of dentistry in the military, and having a complicated dental history myself in recent years, I highly recommend Dr. Sandra Vargas and her team of professionals. Dr. Vargas is thorough and meticulous about her work and one would be hard pressed to find a more dedicated group of people. I have been Dr. Vargas’ patient for 10+ years.

I’ve been with Dr. Sandra Vargas and Dr. Bodea at least 7 years, they are professional and kind, the staff are great, friendly and respectful, (specially Andrea, she is so cute and she knows what she is doing) they always answer my questions and concerns and have a lot of patience with me. Dr. Vargas has been saved me money and tooth’s with unnecessary treatments, ( like today I thought that I needed 2 root canals, and Dr. Vargas said that we have to wait to make sure if it’s necessary or not) I highly recommend North Atlanta Family Dentistry.

Dr. Sandra Vargas is the most compassionate dentist I have ever had bar none! She performed dental work with absolute perfection and even saw me a few minutes early. Her entire staff was very energized, easily conversed with me and I felt like a wayward traveler had finally made it to heaven! She explained all my options prior to any dental work and I was always kept informed by her directly. I had an emergency tooth extraction that she performed absolutely flawlessly with no pain or discomfort whatsoever!! I never felt nervous or uncomfortable as Dr. Vargas exudes pure confidence. I will be bragging about Dr. Vargas to my friends for a very long time!! Definitely a TEN STAR review if I could.

Dr Vargas and her staff are wonderful. Everyone always has a smile on there face and they are glad to see you. This is a pain free zone. Never any unnecessary procedures and very reasonable. No staff turn over. Love them.

I am very nervous about going to the dentist due to my past experiences. North Atlanta Family Dental changed that for me. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted with a sweet smile and a compassionate attitude. Everyone I came into contact with treated me like a valued patient. My hygienist was thorough and explained everything in detail to me. I am grateful and will recommend to everyone I know!! Thank you for putting my fears to an end!

I have to deduct a point for poor communication. I scheduled with, “I’d like to make an appointment with Dr. Vargas,” then showed up to find I’m scheduled with someone else (a new dentist). Another time, I was specifically scheduled with Dr. Vargas, but on arrival given to someone else new to the practice. (I did at least get to see Dr. Vargas then when she came in a few times to give advice.) I find this practice deceptive and unbecoming; at least be honest about which dentist the patient will see. Other than that, however, I have been happy with the office. I have zero complaints about the work performed, even when done by a fairly new dentist. So I will continue to go there. I *do* recommend them, but let’s demand openness and honesty about which dentist they schedule us for. It’s perfectly fine to say, “Dr. Vargas is booked solid through February, but Dr. X is available, and he’s great because.

Yesterday was my very first visit to the Duluth/Johns Creek office and it definitely will not be my last. I was very impressed. Staff had excellent customer service. They were also very sensitive to mine and my son’s (the patient) needs as he has some special dental circumstances. I was impressed by the measures they are taking to ensure safety during this pandemic. Thankful to finally have found our family Dentist!

And yet, another very pleasant visit to my dentist! I had my routine cleaning which was again, excellent and also a root canal instead of the scheduled filling on another tooth. Dr. Vargas proactively recommended it after reviewing the x-rays, and after about one painless hour I was on my way back to work!; I didn’t even need any pain medication. Wonder full dental care, I highly recommend Dr. Vargas and North Atlanta Family Dentistry!

I have switched dentist due to moving AND my old dentist drilling and charging for cavities that didn’t exist.. Having Saturday available dentist is very important to me, and this did not let me down. The work was done pretty quickly and thoroughly and the dentist and dental hygienist were kind and courteous. My mouth was a bit more sore than usual after the appointment, however everything was clean and I was not rushed out or pressured into buying anything. 🙂

My wife and I have been coming here for years. From routine cleanings, exams, fillings, mouthguard fitting, crown replacement the staff was able to do all this with great care, gentle hands, and extreme competence. The front desk is very welcoming and uses your name to make you feel welcome and the overall operation is just really clean and pleasant. Thank you!

Just wanted to update my previous review- I have since seen Dr Vargas and she’s a great dentist- is helping me to switch out a crown that I’m not happy with and I’m very optimistic about the results. Also, my hygenist Rodica is excellent- she’s very thorough and makes getting your teeth cleaned a lot of fun. Overall, I’d say it’s the best dental office I’ve been to, so I updated my reviews and am now giving it five stars.

I had a horrible toothache from an impacted wisdom tooth and did not have a dentist yet since I moved to Georgia. I checked the internet and found that Dr. Vargas’ office took emergency appointments and even has Saturday hours 8 am to 1 pm. I called the office at 8:15 am on a Saturday as a new patient and explained that I was suffering with a toothache. The receptionist was extremely nice and caring she asked if I could get to the office at 9 am so, I eagerly accepted the appointment. I thought I would have been giving a hard time not being a prior patient but that was absolutely not the case. I provided my insurance information over the phone so it was confirmed prior to my appointment which was  a time saver. I made it to the office at about 8:50 am. I only waited there for 15 minutes. Actually, my wait was more like only 5 minutes considering as a new patient I had to fill out my dental history etc. The dental assistance  I  met  first was extremely patient and so caring. She took a full set of x-rays.  I had not been to the dentist for a while so I requested a full set of X-rays. She was gentle and patient with me considering a have difficultly taking dental x-rays. After the x-rays were done I immediately meet Dr. Gloria Alvarez she was extremely nice and immediately identified the problem with my wisdom tooth as well as some leaking/loose fillings. She advised me that my wisdom tooth must be removed and I asked for nitrous oxide. Dr. Alvarez ensured me that I would not need it. I explained that I hate pain and had several teeth pulled when I was young and I remember how much pain I was in. Dr. Alvarez promised that I would not feel pain and the initial shot would not hurt much more than a prick. She ensured me that she would not pull my tooth useless she was sure that I would not feel pain.  She was right the initial needle was quick and almost painless, the rest of the shots were completely painless. Her assistant provided me with my estimate of out of pocket costs ( my deductible) so I did not have a surprise after the procedure was done. It was very reasonable so I approved. While awaiting my mouth to be completely numb, a dental hygienist who was also extremely nice and gentle evaluated my needs for future teeth cleaning. When she was done,  my mouth was completely numb and Dr. Alvarez immediate checked to applied further numbing to ensure that I would feel no pain with the extraction. She asked if I  thought I needed nitrous oxide and I was surprised to say that I did not because my mouth was virtually painlessly numbed without it. Dr, Alvarez extracted my tooth in approximately 5 minutes!! She sutured the area and provided me with prescriptions of antibiotics, pain relievers.I was in and out of the office in less than an hour and a half. Everyone at Dr. Vargas office was so caring, cheerful, and nice they set my rattled nerves at ease. I truly thought having my one and only wisdom tooth pulled would be my worst dental experience but, I am surprised to say that it went much better than I would have hoped for! Thank you Dr. Alvarez and the staff at Dr. Vargas’ office.

I had an abscessed tooth on a Friday night and was so relieved that this office was open and accepting new patients on a Saturday. I was able to get in right away, it’s a huge practice with at least 10 operatories. I was lucky to get Dr. Vargas who was kind, gentle and explained everything in detail. I know that different doctors provide different experiences but I’ll return and bring my grand children if they accept their insurance. Thanks Dr. Vargas!

Dr. Vargas is my doctor and I have been seeing her for over 20+ years. I find her very competent and easy to work with when developing plans to keep my teeth for life. At occasions I have seen other doctors in the office and they all are extremely nice to work with. Staff is very friendly and easy to schedule appointments. Dental Hygienist: Rodica and Chau have kept my teeth clean over the years. Both of them are extremely professional and very competent. In addition they are very personable. Office staff: At the end of all the good medical/Dental services comes the paperwork. The office staff makes it easy to deal with this aspect of the visit. I will be remiss, If I did not mentioned Ms Andrea. More often than not there can be issues with insurance etc, and during such times Ms Andrea takes care of it and assures the patient that don’t worry about it. Over the last 20+ years, doctors, dental hygienist and front office staff working in harmony has made my experience of taking care of my teeth a delightful one.

Dr Smith is my favorite member of the team. I’ve had a lot of dentist do a lot of work in the last (mumble-mumble) Year’s so I feel somewhat experienced …. she is THE best, gentlest, comprehensive, conservative AND skilled dentist/ specialist in beautiful smile
