My experience with Dr. McLachlan was absolutely first class. She is by far the best dentist I have had for a long, long time. Due to her, I will become a regular patient of your facility.

Today, Dr. McLachlan performed a difficult root canal procedure on a tooth of mine. I was apprehensive about it but Dr. McLachlan has a very gentle touch. It was over before I knew it and am now a satisfied patient, free of calcification and pulp stones! Thank you!!
~Carmin
Thank you Dr. McLachlan! What an amazing experience I had today. Who knew coming to the dentist would be so pain-free and quick. I'll be sure to tell others of my experience and refer them to you! You are a true professional. Thanks Again!
~Tamara
This has been the best and most enjoyable dental experience I've had. The staff and doctor were very friendly and made me feel at ease. I have had a lot of dental work over the years.
~Casey
I just had to say how impressed I was with Dr. McLachlan and her assistant. I have extreme phobias with dentistry and I felt no pain and was treated so well with my anxieties. I had experienced a root canal before with a negative result and Dr. McLachlan did it quickly and with no pain! I am very grateful to her! Thank you!!
~Diane
After breaking a tooth while eating I was referred to Dr. McLachlan for consultation. The discussion about curved and calcified roots I had with my personal dentist was on my mind as Dr. McLachlan recommended that we proceed with what sounded like a complicated root canal. I have to confess that as the chair leaned back I was just a little bit nervous.
From the first shot to the final filling, the entire procedure was astonishingly pain free. Her gentle and confident demeanors so succeeded at putting me at ease that at one point I actually dozed off. She's a credit to her profession and a true asset to the anyone in need of a root canal. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone putting off treatment due to fear or anxiety.
~Roger
I would just like to say that Dr. McLachlan was excellent; she took care of my pain and did my 2 root canals that I requested so I don't have to come back. She was very gentle and was painless. All in all, she was great! Thank you very much!
~Phillip
Thank you Dr. McLachlan for giving me a pain-free and quick root canal. I'm grateful for your professionalism and caring attitude. You are great!
~Ruthanne
I wanted to express to you my thanks for a great experience here at the dentist office. You were very professional as well as gentle. Your caring attitude helped me quite a bit. I am usually "white knuckled, close to tears", during this kind of dental work, with you, I nearly fell asleep! Your pain management was greatly appreciated. Thank you for genuinely listening to my fears and for taking them seriously.
~Sue
I wanted to take a moment to compliment Dr. McLachlan and how wonderful my experience with her was. I have had severe pain on a lower molar for two years whereby a dentist from a private office would not tend to properly. Thanks to Dr. McLachlan I am now pain free! Thank you! Thank you! I also have an anxiety disorder and was so relaxed, again, thanks to Dr. McLachlan! My husband has been to her previously to me and said how much he like and trusted her and how thorough Dr. McLachlan was. Again, Dr. McLachlan, I wouldn't think twice coming to you again. Your professional attentive and thorough!
~Diane
The work done today by Dr. McLachlan is the best dental work I have done in my entire 53 years! I will recommend Dr. McLachlan to everyone I come in contact with. Thanks for being really gentle and true to your name.
~Yvonne
I would like to write a short note about the excellent care I received at your office. Everyone was nice and courteous. I am especially impressed with Dr. McLachlan. She was very sweet and personable to me. I felt like she was my sister. I felt at home and told her I would bring my wife in to see her. Dr. McLachlan was down to earth and communicated my dental situation clearly and fully. She relaxed me and gave me confidence in gentle dentistry. Thank you for your time!
~Steve
Thank you so much for all of your help. I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you!
~Deborah
Today was the first time I saw Dr. McLachlan, she is just excellent. Not only did she fix the problem but kept asking if I was O.K. Surprisingly, did she not only fix my tooth but it was without any doubt one of the best experiences I've had with a dentist.
~Evelyn
I really want to thank you for your honesty. You could have gone ahead and done the scheduled root canal and I would have paid you and I would not have known the difference. I am grateful for you honesty and I respect and admire you for that! I will be referring you to anyone who is looking for a dentist!
~Deborah
I would like to commend Dr. McLachlan and her staff for their professionalism, care, and attention to detail. Their focus was always on the patient's needs in all aspects. They were able to address our questions and concerns promptly and concisely. We highly recommend them for your dental needs.
~Jerry
This was the best experience I have ever had in a dentist office in spite of the serious root canal procedure that I needed. Several other dentists did not even accept my case, I felt very comfortable during your operation.
~Kourosh
Thank you so much for my first positive dental experience in quite a while! Not only were you able to save my tooth, but you and your assistant had a terrific bed-side manner. You listened when I told you I don't numb quickly or easily, and you waited until I was sure to have no pain. The procedure was comfortable and you answered all of my questions. You've restored my tooth and my faith in dentistry....Thank you!
~Tiffany
This was my second time in for a root canal and the experience was very good. I feel that the staff takes good care and treats me with care. My root canal was very fast and the doctor made sure I was comfortable without feeling pain. The staff and doctors are well trained and caring!
~Stacy
Dr. McLachlan was very articulate and explanatory on all the processes she would be going through, which I have never had before with previous root canals. I noticed and appreciated how she was very patience and attentive to my needs. I compliment her on her wonderful customer service skills! I have had several root canals done by other dentists and have never been treated as well as Dr. McLachlan treated me. I want to thank her and her staff for their excellence in service!
~Lori
