Dr. Joseph Shawa, DMD 4792 Caughlin Parkway, Reno, NV 89519

"Great bedside manner, excellent staff, quickest filling and cleaning of my life. My daughter was terrified of going to the dentist and he had her laughing by the end. We've found our family dentistry."

"I wanted to wait until I had all my dental work complete to leave this review. I went in after 15 years of not seeing a dentist. I had 8 fillings (confirmed by x-ray) and opted to get a cosmetic procedure done to close my gap in the front. My whole experience from beginning to end was excellent from the receptionist to the dentist. Very family oriented business and wonderful, caring people who make you feel comfortable. Thank you Dr. Shawa and staff for everything!"

"I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS DENTIST. I went here because of the good reviews just to end up being pressured into spending a ridiculous amount of money on things I didn't want done. He says "we are in the business of saving teeth" so he doesn't allow you to get teeth pulled. I had 1 tooth worked on multiple times. The first time was fillings which was followed by weeks of excruciating pain before abscessing. Ended up needing a root canal that took multiple hours and pain before he said he wouldn't be able to finish it and I would need to go to a specialist and come back for the crown. I did so and hundreds of dollars later, I still can't bite down on the crown without pain and it has been almost a year. Plus the other tooth he put fillings in was cracked after he worked on it and ended up abscessing and needing to get pulled. This was a traumatic experience and I have never been through so much pain with a dentist nor have I ever cried after leaving a dentist office until going here. Don't even get me started on the surprise bills. My sister went through the exact same experience. Please save yourself the money, pain, and trauma and go somewhere else."

"Worst dentist ever!! DO NOT GO!!! They just want money, they pressure you non-stop to get more work done than needs to be. Convinced me to spend so much money that I repeatedly told them I didn't have. ⚠️⚠️⚠️I wanted tooth pulled cause I don't have insurance, pressured me so bad to get a crown, which they ended up convincing me it also needed a root canal, TO FIND OUT HE CRACKED MY TOOTH IN THE FIRST PLACE!⚠️⚠️⚠️ Same exact scenario to a T happened to my sister! He is purposely cracking teeth for money!!"

"Dr. Shawa and his staff are super knowledgeable and thorough! Lindsay cleaned my teeth and I’ve never had a better dental hygienist. She took the time to explain every step of the way and made sure I left with the most pearly whites! 10/10."
