 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  I am so grateful for Dr. Winokur and his staff. I have severe dental anxiety and have been working over the last year with them to get my mouth healthy again. When I first stepped into their office, my blood pressure was through the roof and I was in tears. I can confidently say that because of the entire staff at Independence Dental, when I now walk through the doors I am completely at ease. I know I will be taken care of, my feelings are taken into consideration, and I am talked through every single thing that’s being done. Going to the dentist is no longer scary for me and I am so thankful that I am on track to having a healthier mouth and smile.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.  Dr. Winkour is a wonderful dentist and his office staff is really great, too. It might sound weird to speak so glowingly about a dentist. After all, who likes going to the dentist? That was part of the problem, actually. I had moved, and hadn’t been to the dentist since before the pandemic. Dr. Winkour was kind and nonjudgmental. He assessed the health of my teeth and gums, explained what needed to be done, and helped me make a multi-appointment plan to tackle it bit by bit until it was all better. On the days I got the work done, he always told me what he was going to do before he did it so there were no surprises. He always made sure I was in no pain. Now I feel confident about my dental situation, and all I have to do is get my teeth cleaned twice a year. It wasn’t super cheap but it wasn’t unaffordable either. Definitely check out Independence Dental!

"Dr. Winokur is the BEST Dentist I have EVER had! He takes the time to explain everything. He goes above and beyond. He is incredibly gracious with his patients...AND his Staff! When we found Dr. Winokur, we've never gone anywhere else. He is wonderful and cares so much about his patients. My husband, Robert, and I have been with Winokur for years now. There is no Dentist like him ANYWHERE! He's caring, courteous, kind, gentle with his patients, trustworthy, very loyal, and always attentive to their needs.

My experience with Dr. Winokur and his Staff has been nothing but remarkable and wonderful every time! They all make you feel comfortable and "at home".

Dr. Winokur does his job as painlessly as possible for the patient...and, that is very appreciated. He is just WONDERFUL and knows his job WELL!

His Staff is wonderful as well and they go out of their way for you. They're attentive and "Johnny-on-the-spot", so to speak. They're always there for you, which is greatly appreciated!

I’ve been a long time patient at Independence Dental and I must say this journey with them has been by far, the best! Considering I am extra, super, duper sensitive and nervous wreck when coming to dental work from past experiences. Besides the general dental care I’ve received there, I just very recently had four of my front teeth replaced with porcelain ones. I love the new look, it helps me feel more confident and looks great! So thank you Dr. Winokur, Loretta, Lori, Tammy and Allison for your understanding, compassion and how comfortable you always make me feel! I’d say that’s a lot coming from myself..lol Yours Truly, Cecilia Adams

This dentist office is wonderful. The staff is caring and kind. Dr. Winokur answers all questions you may have and makes sure you understand everything. Which is appreciated. They make sure you are comfortable which is also appreciated. Recommend for anyone who needs a new dentist or just wants a dentist who makes you feel comfortable and is nice to their patients.

Jenessa B

Everyone I've interacted with here is personable, helpful, and thoughtful. They emphasize comfort more than any other dentist I've been to. They genuinely want you to feel happy and safe. Dr. Winokur is one of the sweetest people I've met. He is experienced, keeps up on the latest best practices, and communicates personably with his employees. I highly recommend this dentist, especially for anyone nervous about going to the dentist.

Kathleen H

Dr. Winokur is absolutely the best dentist I’ve ever gone to! He is attentive to my dental needs and concerns. He listens to me and makes sure I understand everything about the procedure I am about to go through. He has an amazing sense of humor that puts me at ease. He’s meticulous in his work so I know I’m in good hands.
