"Dr. D and his team are wonderful! They provide exceptional dental care for my family...from the friendly “hello and welcome” upon arrival...absolute thoroughness (in checkups and cleaning) and professionalism of the hygienists and both Drs....a first class office with impressive use of technology! I can’t say enough good things about Idlewild Family Dentistry. Give them a try, you’ll be so happy you"

Paula W.

"I have always been terrified of the dentist, and because of that I have neglected my teeth. I had a tooth pulled yesterday after a week of pain and Dr. Reeva is the most kind and gentle person for this profession! Every nurse was just fantastic, and the front desk staff was amazing! I made an appointment at 4am in pain on Friday for 8am, but the computer didn’t get it and they fit me in anyway!! I have an appointment in 3 weeks as a “new patient” to start making a plan for a healthy mouth and I’m ACTUALLY looking forward to it! Thank you Dr. Reeva!!!!"
