Michelle's story with Dr. Maralani
A family's experience at Lilac Family Dentistry
Why Debbie keeps coming back after five yearsThis appointment was amazing as it was the last one, finishing off with a cleaning, after many months of necessary important work.
I was referred to Dr. Maralani by friends after my dentist retired.
Of course I was nervous, but that soon changed over time when I saw the care and concern that everyone at Lilac Family Dentistry had, especially Dr. Maralani.
From friendly and efficient Jennifer at reception, Olga at my side stroking my hand when I was especially nervous to Nicole's gentle but thorough cleaning, I felt heard, understood and well cared for.
Dr. Maralani is the best. I strongly recommend Lilac Family Dentistry.
Thank you Dr. Maralani. We had an excellent experience at this dental office with Dr. Maralani. She was absolutely wonderful with our children, ages 6 and 8. From the moment we walked in, she and her team made them feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely at ease.
Dr. Maralani is kind, patient, professional, and truly has a special way with kids. She took the time to explain everything in a gentle and reassuring manner, which made the entire visit stress-free for both our children and us as parents.
It’s not easy to find a dentist who combines such professionalism with genuine warmth and care for children. We are very grateful for the outstanding experience and highly recommend Dr. Maralani and the entire office to any family looking for exceptional pediatric dental care.
I always go here for my dental appointments. The staff are amazing, and the service is consistently excellent. They are very welcoming, the clinic is clean, and the dentists are knowledgeable and caring. Thank you for consistently providing excellent service! Highly recommended!
Wanted a woman dentist and found Lilac Family Dentistry. I got a few cavities fixed, a mouth guard, a crown and cleaning. Everything was done really well. Even when I said my crown needed an adjustment, Dr. Sayeh came after my cleaning and adjusted what needed. Im happy I found them
The office runs like a well oiled machine and always timely. The staff are friendly and the facilities are very clean.
I have been going to Lilac Family Dentistry for a few years now. They are an excellent family dentistry office. Dr. Sayeh Maralani is really super. She is very knowledgeable, efficient and professional. All of the hygienists that have done my cleanings have also been top-notch. I have never had any problems with Lilac dentistry regarding bookings, insurance co-ordination or the work that they have performed. Five stars !
