This clinic is amazing. the doctor really took good care of me. all the ladies here are amazing from the front to the back! Summer insisted I do this review so I can spread the word about this office in little magnolia. I would like to keep them all to myself but they like to stay busy and I only have so many teeth they can work with lol. they love and accept everyone so I hope you give them a chance. you won't regret it!!!

The staff here are amazing and everyone is so nice! I had a problem with one of my teeth and called as a new patient and was able to be seen the next day. They have a very nice facility. I’m so glad I came in to see them!

It was truly a pleasure to get treatment at Magnolia Family Dental. The staff was beyond remarkable and welcoming. The waiting period wasn't long at all. It is truly a family oriented place of business just as it states in the name. Everyone is allowed to come of all ages. I truly enjoyed, Ms. Summer, Mrs. Katilyn, and Dr. Amy. You all have helped me out so much and I will be returning soon for myself and my son. Thank you again so much for your services.

Wonderful experience from making my appointment to the visit to checking out. Dr. Amy and her staff are amazing. Everyone was very understanding and professional. Tasha was great and professional when I booked my appointment. She got me in quickly and even helped calm me down (I have anxiety at the dentist). Thanks to everyone for making me feel comfortable and confident in my choice dentist and staff.

I absolutely love working here. This is the first time in all my years that I actually enjoy coming to work. My co-workers are more like family they are amazing!! I love making our patients feel welcome and like family, and how they smile when they leave.

By far the nicest, cleanest, and most friendly dental offices I have seen! They take caring for their patience to a whole new level from the moment you call to make your appointment. They not only keep a nice assortment of coffee for their older patience, but also have a separate play room for their smaller ones! Their head dental assistant, Summer, happens to be a personal favorite of mine with her never-ending sunny personality and her obvious heart felt care for her patience. Will recommend this office everytime if it means getting to have her there! She makes the office feel like a home!

This is a wonderful dentist office to take children. They have a special room for children to stay occupied while waiting to be seen that has I Pads, books, and a chalk wall to draw on. I love how friendly everyone is there too! My son can't wait to go back. TO THE DENTIST! Wait, what?!😲🤣😁

Today was my first time to go to Magnolia Family Dental. I knew I had a good bit of work to be done and had been putting it off!! Dr. Any was extremely helpful in getting a treatment plan in place. She was as concerned as I was about the extent of the work, but she worked to help me!!!! Treatment starts next week!🤗

This is the best dental care I have ever received. From the time you walk into the office(which is decorated so nice) you are greeted with a smile from the staff. They are prompt with their care and the treatment you are needing. Their technique is very gentle, which is a huge blessing if you normally are scared of the dentist like I was. Seriously, 5 stars is not enough. There is not a negative comment I could leave about this place. If you need a dentist I highly recommend going there!

This place is nothing less of amazing. .adults, toddlers, babies, they service all. Took the 1 year old (mouth full of teeth) amazing and patient. Took the 4 year old they took her scans showed the same amazing patience. Facility is amazing, service is great, scheduling super flexible, and for us the location makes it even more convenient. They have everything you could imagine to keep you and the kids occupied while waiting even though you won't be waiting long, both times in and it in under an hour. Highly recommendedDeAnna Brumfield
