I used to hate going to the dds but now I actually look forward to it. Dr Ludka, his hygienist and the staff couldn't be nicer! I am always greeted with a smile and friendly conversation that makes me feel comfortable. My cleanings and exams are very thorough and gentle. The entire office staff provides a great experience with a high level of professional care.
I've been seeing Gary and his staff for over 20 years. Easy to make an appointment for a day/time that suits me; always personable — you feel like friends and family. And I still have all my teeth! That's an important measure of effectiveness.
I was very impressed with the doctor. Dr. Ludka has a great calming bedside manner and takes his time and answers your questions. He provides information that is in your best interest and doesn't pressure any procedure that is not needed. I would recommend Dr. Ludka without hesitation. I had a great experience and I am very pleased.
