PATIENT REVIEWS

Everyone on staff is friendly and helpful.  The hygienist are thorough and kind.  Dr. Shafik is a very talented dentist and makes you feel calm and well cared for.  The front desk staff reminds you of appointments and gives you clear information about cost. My whole family goes to this practice and we are so happy to have found this great group of people.

Nobody likes going to the dentist, but this team makes the experience as pleasant as can be. My cleaning was through and painless, the hygienist was lovely, and Dr. Shafik made me feel very comfortable. I appreciated that she was complimentary of my teeth. I had two fillings done and they were able to get me in the same week. I was very apprehensive because they were my first fillings, but Dr. Shafik and her hygienists made me feel totally at ease, it was painless and quick. The one thing I think could improve is that I had a hard time hearing the desk attendant that checked me out, probably because of a combination of masks and plexiglass. It might be helpful to speak a bit more loudly for the time being. Overall I highly recommend this dentist (and have recommended them to two friends already!)

Another wonderful experience this morning and a very friendly office. Excellent staff and exceptional service! Thank you for providing my family with sensational dental care. We look forward to each visit. Always recommend St. Mary’s Family Denistry. Stellar job: Dr. Linda Shaffik and staff!

I am so fortunate to have found Dr. Linda Shafik and the team at St. Mary’s Family Dentistry. Dr. Shafik is the best, most skilled dentist I’ve ever worked with. I am so impressed with not only her talent but also her kindness. Dr. Shafik and her team are caring professionals that go above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and at ease during every visit. If you’re looking for a dental practice that exemplifies skill, professionalism, kindness and value, look no further than St. Mary’s Family Dentistry.

My daughter was terribly afraid of going to the dentist. Dr Shefik spends extra time making her feel comfortable. I have to say my kids love her . My daughter even started taking care of her teeth just so the Dr can compliment her on her teeth. I can’t say how much she has helped our family. We always feel taken care of at her office. Our whole family goes to her office now. We are blessed to have found this office. I can’t thank them enough for the care they give us.

I’ve been a dental assistant for 20 years and do fill-in work for Dr Shafik when needed. To say that I absolutely love this office would be an understatement. I drive from Durham to Raleigh to help out because I believe she and her team provide outstanding patient care, and they are just all around good people. I wouldn’t make the drive down I-40 if I didn’t truly love being there. Fantastic office!

Dr. Shafik is by far the best dentist I have been to.  A) her office is prompt and you rarely wait for an appointment B) she is meticulous and caring.  I never feel rushed during my appointments and I feel like she truly cares about me not only as a patient but also a person C) the office is always very clean D) she is open on Saturdays so I don’t have to take any time off work.  I get my exams and cleanings done regularly and she also performed my zoom treatment.  People comment all the time on my teeth and I thank her for that!

Linda and the entire staff are such delightful people. They accept a very wide range of dental insurance policies and serve a very diverse clientele. I see this practice as being fully dedicated to serving the community. I had a rough spot between two teeth due to a shoddy filling from another dentist, and Linda, without hesitating, fixed it for me on the spot free of charge. I recommend this dental practice to all of my friends. I can not speak highly enough of St. Mary’s Family Dentistry.

This place is WONDERFUL! Dr. Shafik and her staff are very kind, considerate and professional! I kid you not when I say going here is similar to a spa experience. It’s incredibly relaxing and they put you at ease! I had filling done today and the entire time I was in the chair I couldn’t even tell they were working on my tooth, let alone, I had no idea they gave me the shot to numb that particular area of my mouth! If you fear the dentist, don’t! Do yourself a favor by going here… you won’t regret it!

Very friendly staff, reasonably priced, plenty of parking for a very easy to find location next to Broughton. They helped me book an appointment day of, which was VERY convenient. State of the art equipment in a newly renovated office. Anytime you need a fixin find St. Mary’s Family dentistry. You won’t regret it.

This is seriously the best dental practice I’ve ever worked with before. Dr. Shafik and her team are absolutely incredible. I’ve come here with dental issues before that have made me very nervous and they have walked me through everything and made me feel calm and reassured. They have squeezed me in quickly at the last minute when I’ve had major concerns and pain. These guys go way above and beyond what I would expect from a dental office and I would highly recommend St. Mary’s to everyone.

Great work from great people! Staff is always friendly and helpful, and they have worked magic on my teeth. Assistants are very knowledgeable and attending to needs, while Dr. Shafik is quick, precise, and light-handed. I also have had a back surgery recently and they always remember how I like my chair and make sure I’m comfortable. Keith, the office manager, is a great help with any insurance or billing questions on your way out as well! If you are looking for a great dentist, look no further!

Dr. Shafik is beyond amazing! She’s made me not scared of going to the dentist and I love her entire staff! They are very friendly and make you feel right at home. I’ve had countless fillings and a root canal done and everything she’s done has been impeccable, always very attentive and patient with me. Even when I did not have dental coverage and needed an emergency root canal, they were nice enough to work with me on payment. I highly recommend!

This is a wonderful dental office and I can’t thank the staff enough for the experiences I have had with them. I found St. Mary’s when I first moved to Raleigh and needed a new dentist. They were able to get me in very quickly and I was impressed with how warm and welcoming the staff was. The office is beautiful and calming, they play soothing music and everyone there goes out of their way to make you feel relaxed. I should note that I am a very nervous dental patient. If you are as well, this is the office for you! Dr. Shafik and her staff do an excellent job taking time to explain procedures and make patients feel at ease. They are efficient and do excellent work, and have gotten me through multiple procedures which would have been much more difficult for me with any of my previous dentists. One visit is enough to know that the whole staff are very well-educated and can give helpful recommendations regarding improving dental health. They have high-tech equipment which helps with better diagnosis of dental problems and they can show you clearly what is going on in your mouth on big flat-screen TVs in each treatment area. I would recommend them to anyone!

We travel from Danville, Va because of this wonderful FAMILY Dentistry. We have never experienced any medical facility like Dr. Shafik’s. The staff and everyone there makes us feel as family. Everyone is always very friendly and helpful. The entire facility is very clean. The staff in very knowledgeable with all questions and concern. (Insurance, Procedures etc.) We had major issues with my wife’s teeth (many botched procedures from a former dentist) and Dr. Shafik has worked wonders. We are greatly pleased with her work and this whole experience. The travel distance and the 1 hr 20 min. drive is well worth it. We HIGHLY Recommend St. Mary’s Family Dentistry to anyone in need of a great dentist. Thank you Dr. Shafik and staff. We love these wonderful people. Gerald and Ella

There are two things in life I have feared. Those are flying in an airplane and going to the dentist. Coincidentally, I first met Dr. Shafik on a flight from Raleigh to Los Angeles. After a bit of small talk, she mentioned to me that she was a dentist, talked about her experiences, and handed me a business card. Unbeknownst to me, that moment would forever change my fear of going to the dentist. I have been a patient of Dr. Shafik for approximately two and a half years now. She and her staff are like family. While I used to dread visiting the dentist since childhood, I now see it as a spa experience that I actually enjoy. Most people think I am crazy when I say that. I think those people just haven’t found the right dentist. I recommend Dr. Shafik to everyone I know, and I can honestly say that if I ever moved away, I would fly back and continue to be her patient. 5 stars

Everyone at St. Mary’s Family dentistry is absolutely wonderful! Every single person I’ve worked with there has been friendly, professional and great at their jobs. Dr. Shafik is hands down the best dentist I’ve had, she works incredibly hard and actually cares about her patients. When I lost a bridge Dr. Shafik outlined all my options and talked me through them, she even got me price estimates on all the options I was considering. When I decided on a dental implant she referred me to a great oral surgeon and even helped me schedule my appointment. If you are looking for a GREAT Raleigh dentist, I recommend checking St. Mary’s Family Dentistry out.

Love this dentist practice. The staff is friendly, courteous, and professional. They always call to confirm your appointments. Dr. Shafik is a great dentist, it’s true she is great at what she does and she is very kind. I love the way they have decorated the place, it’s very inviting. And it’s so nice that they have Saturday hours. When I first began coming to St. Mary’s Family Dentistry, I lived right down the street. Due to a job change I’ve moved to Greensboro, NC, but it’s so nice I continue to come back.

I had some work done and Dr. Shafik and her lovely staff went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the results. They are all also kind and lovely people, and even though I don’t have any nerves or fear of the dentist, if you do, this is the place to go! They take care to make sure you are comfortable and at ease with everything being done and if you’re lucky, Dr. Shafik’s adorable little puppy will be at the front desk to say hello to you!

St. Mary’s Family Dentistry is by far the best dentist I’ve ever been too. My chompers are lookin’ mighty fly after today’s visit and I can’t wait to show off my pearly whites when I hit the town later. Plug your ears kids…Dr. Shafik is the real tooth fairy! And hip hip hooray for women-owned businesses. I’d say she deserves a plaque or a crown for being the best dentist, but she tells me plaque and crowns are no good. Thank you to Dr. Shafik and team! Tooth be told, I’m not even mad that I have to come back next week for a filling.

Dr. Shafik & Staff! Thank you for responding with a sense of urgency and immediately addressing my medical dental emergency today. Everyone in the office was amazing and listened with their medical minds and hearts of passion. I was in amazing pain and Dr. Shafik knew exactly how to respond and treat effectively. Her immediate concern allowed for me to finally have peace of mind and comfort with my dental problems. If you are experiencing any dental discomfort or need that assurance, call Dr. Shafik and the staff will attend to your needs and get you an appointment immediately, (919) 896-7117 You have one mouth and a smile is priceless. God Bless! Dr. KR

They get 10 stars! From my very first appointment I felt comfortable and knew I could trust them. Dr Shafik and her team are amazing and always so very helpful and they treat you like your a member of their family! Dr. Shafik spends time explaining the problems with your teeth and works with you to devise a plan of treatment! The staff is on top of their game and very efficent and knowledgable! For the first time in my life I don’t have anxiety about going to the dentist! I highly recommend St Mary’s! Family Dentistry!

St. Mary’s Family Dentistry is one of the best, if not the best in Raleigh! Dr. Shafik and her staff are like family! There are always warm and welcoming. Dr. Shafik’s has to be the best dentist I have ever had, her work with aesthetics is exquisite! I have referred 4 people to her and they are extremely happy as well. Even the decor is warm and inviting, like being in a friends living room other than a dentist office.

I’ve been to several dental practices in the triangle, and this one is the best, hands down. My previous dentist came up with a treatment plan, but I had some reservations about their plan. I decided to try St. Mary’s Family Dentistry at the recommendation from a friend. I have never enjoyed going to the dentist, but I actually had a pleasurable experience here. Dr. Shafik and her team made me feel so at ease and came up with a plan that is saving me a couple thousand dollars.

I used to hate going to the dentist but after finding Dr. Shafik I actually look forward to my appointments!!  She always makes me feel so calm and checks with me constantly as she’s working to make sure I’m completely comfortable.  I’ve also had some whitening and cosmetic work done and she is truly an artist and takes her time to make sure I am 110% happy.  I love love love this practice, the staff, and the amazing Dr. Shafik and I will never go anywhere else!! And by the way, I live 3 hours away so that should really be saying something 🙂

Far and away the best experience I have ever had with a dentist. The good doctor and her staff are friendly, professional and most importantly capable. I was struggling finding a dentist who could see me quickly, and they were able to see me within the week. The part that stood out to me the most was how kind they were to my two young children when I brought them in. They put us all at ease and made us feel very comfortable. I recommend this office to everyone I know. They truly are an amazing group and I am thankful I found them!

I can’t say enough good things about St. Mary’s Family Dentistry. Their facilities are clean and modern with updated equipment to better your experience. I was recently in for a cleaning when they discovered a minor cavity. This is my first cavity I ever had. They made sure to take a picture of it and point out where the cavity was and the steps they were going to take to fill it. I also mentioned that I was switching jobs and wasn’t sure of my insurance within the next week, Dr. Shafeik made room in her schedule to bring me in two days later to fill it while I still had my insurance. When I went in for the filling she was quick and gentle. She talked me through the entire process and had me out of the office within 30 minutes. I also had a veneer made for a previously chipped tooth and had zoom whitening done. Everything went great and I couldn’t be happier with my pearly whites. The entire staff is incredibly nice and professional. Also, they are open on fridays and saturdays. Pretty rare for dentists! I refer all my friends to St. Mary’s and they love it. A friend recently had her first cavity filled there and sent me a text that said “I love the dentist and St. Mary’s!”

Have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Shafik and her staff. Quality of care is excellent and you’re always made to feel very welcome. I’ve had hundreds of prophies over my lifetime and the ones at Dr. Shafik’s are easily in my top 3 list. Anytime Dr. Shafik herself performs a procedure the level and quality of care and the concern over my well being are superb. Furthermore, if you need to be referred, all the providers she recommends you too all are equally good. Dr. Shafik is great and her referral network likewise is great. Overall a top notch experience.

My wife and I have been using this Dentistry for a couple years now. I first want to thank the staff for ALWAYS exercising wonderful customer service and professionalism. We have always received top notch services from any of the well trained dental techs. From scheduling convenience to fillings, cleanings and many more A1 services. My wife and I have decided a couple of years ago that Saint Mary’s FAMILY dentistry is the only dental facility we will ever need. AWESOME JOB Dr. Shafik and the ENTIRE team (past & present)!!

Dr. Linda Shafik is the best doctor I have seen. She is an immaculate and perfect doctor who is very professional. I am so pleased that I found her based upon my friend’s recommendation. She gives enough time to a patient and does a meticulous work in dental work. For example: I got filling done by a previous doctor who did the work in 5 minutes and when that did not work after few months, she took more than 45 minutes to do the same work meticulously and she did a perfect root canal on one of my tooth. She is amazing and highly courteous. Her staff is also trained to be courteous but I care most for the quality of the doctor and not so much for the staff.

This practice is truly great.  They have gone well above and beyond to be helpful with my health as a priority. I’ve broken several teeth due to seizures at night and they have addressed each one.  I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Shafik and her team. I highly recommend this practice.

If you’re not going to St. Mary’s then you’re going to the wrong dentist. Thought of going to a dentist makes you physically sick? Thats how I felt until a few appointments with Dr. Shafik and her staff. You will not find a better or more caring staff. Check them out, especially if you’re terrified of the dentist.

To say I have a fear of the dentist is an understatement. It kept me away for about 5 years, but I knew I needed to go sooner rather than later. After multiple searches online, I landed on St Mary’s. My first appointment for a cleaning turned into a need to come back for a “deep cleaning” and 4 cavities, which I was horrified. I came back a week later and had a deep cleaning that I couldn’t even feel! The two hygienist were incredible and answered my multiple questions. I was so nervous and it turned out to be nothing but a great and gentle experience. Then came time for the fillings… I came back 3 days later with extreme anxiety, but Dr. Shafik was incredible, and so kind and nurturing towards my fears. I asked for extra numbing, and I couldn’t feel a thing for all 3 feelings. I almost fell asleep! I’m writing this review for the terrified patients out there who probably had one bad dental experience in their life and continue to avoid the dentist. Take my advice, come see Dr. Shafik for an amazing and painless experience. I’ll never miss an appointment again. Added bonus, every person on staff is extremely kind and helpful. I wish I could give 30 stars!

I’ve been going to see Dr. Shafik for years and she has always provided the most professional, and clean work of any dentist i’ve visited. I’ve unfortunately had everything done from a root canal, to fillings and crowns; and as much as I hated having to get it done, I have no doubt in my mind that no one could have possibly taken care of me the way Dr. Shafik did. Not to mention, from the very moment you walk in, you feel comforted by the assistants and office staff. Everyone there does a fantastic job of keeping you as happy as possible during a visit. Hands-down the best dentist around!
