Patient Stories

Reviews from Google

Real reviews from our patients on Google. We're proud of every star.

I was very impressed with my visit today. Dental Hygienist was very warm and welcoming, very thorough with cleaning and very informative. Doctor Ludmila was so knowledgeable, quickly identified issues and created a care plan, explaining every step of the way. I finally found my dentistry. Highly recommend this practice.

Dr. Onyski and her entire staff are friendly and professional. Office is very clean and well put together. They listen to your concerns and address them properly. I will continue to be a patient at Wayside Family Dental for many years to come!

I had a cap on a tooth and you can't tell the difference with the original tooth. Usually capped teeth have a small dark border at the edge, or a slight different color but this one is completely natural. Dr. Lyudmila is very good and the rest of the staff are amazing — especially the hygienist Deborah, front desk Angie, and dentist assistant Zula. Two thumbs up!

Hector Alvarez

This dental clinic is our way to go for the last 9 years. Dr. Onyski is amazing and was fixing my very complicated case with a baby tooth, cooperating with my orthodontist. All regular treatments for me and my husband are always done there. Highly recommend for all your needs from preventive cleaning to treatments and whitening!

Came in for routine cleaning and wanted to thank dental hygienist Deborah for amazing service. Had a brief conversation with Dr. Onyski — she was also very helpful. They were on time with my appointment. Great experience.

Dr. Onyski and her team are the best I have ever seen! The most polite and wholesome people you will ever meet. I had to get my wisdom teeth extracted earlier this year and didn't go to an oral surgeon — she was amazing and the post care was phenomenal. They are super caring about your dental health and go above and beyond. BEST DENTIST AND TEAM EVER!

Today I had a tooth pulled and bone graft with Dr. Onyski and the procedure was so much easier than I expected. Their experience showed. They are always perfectly clear and upfront on cost, which can be hard to find. Dr. Onyski, Jack, and the team have taken great care of me for over 5 years.

Friendly and professional — a great combination. This was my first visit to this dentist, and she took some extra time to check all aspects of my oral health, then she passed me on to the hygienist who did an excellent cleaning. I look forward to going back in six months.

David Houle

Dr. Onyski is great! She listens to your needs and describes the process in detail. So many people in my circle are happy with the service. You don't feel that they want just your money for procedures you don't need. Everyone is nice and professional. The atmosphere is amazing. Thank you!

Dr. Onyski was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable about my oral health. Deborah provided an impressive level of care and attention. Highly recommend for quality dental care.

Wayside Family Dental clinic is the best! Very caring and accommodating staff. Really no waiting time with scheduled appointments. They tell you approximate expense after diagnostic procedures and before they start a treatment. Dr. Onyski is a great dentist — she only wants the best for her patients. I trust her like no other dentist.

Julia

I had a really bad toothache during quarantine and they were able to get me in immediately to extract the tooth. I usually hate going to the dentist but they made me feel comfortable and the whole process was easy. They told me to come in for a quick check after, made sure it was healing correctly. Great office and super friendly staff!

Great dental office. Everyone is really kind and I like that Dr. Onyski spends a lot of time with you to make sure your teeth are right. I can really tell she is a dedicated dentist and cares about her work. They don't overbook their schedule and I don't feel like just a number. I've been to 3 other dentists in the area and I like this office the best by far!
