Spring Creek Family Dentistry

What an amazing team of professionals! I am so happy to have found this practice — and appreciative of its 21^st century practices. A dentist’s office is not my favorite place in the world, however, at no point have I felt anxiety or that I was not in extremely capable hands. Kudos to all there!

Who usually takes the time to write a review about your dentist? Not me. But in this instance, I will because of the superb visit I had.
I was a little apprehensive about coming in today since I was eager to get my teeth cleaned but as a new patient, I would need to have x-​rays and a comprehensive exam performed (was told to expect 1.5−2 hours for this) and then would be scheduled for another date to come back and get my teeth cleaned.
When I walked in, Jacee (sp?) was friendly and approachable. She had a smile on her face and seemed genuinely glad to see me. I had an experience for the past 5 years at our previous dentist where the front desk gal was less-​than-​friendly (actually kind of cranky) but I dealt with it thinking maybe something I did caused her behavior and their clinic was close to my house. So, this experience with Jacee got me off on the right foot immediately! She took the paperwork I completed ahead of time (available on their website so you can save the time and come in prepared) and verified that everything with my insurance had been confirmed so she didn’t need a copy of my ID card.
The doctor actually came to the waiting room to greet me and bring me back. She offered me a seat, introduced me to the hygienist who would be assisting her, and honestly, she was so warm and welcoming that it made me feel at ease instantly. (PS — I saw pictures in the waiting room that indicated she had been on a mission trip to Guatemala)… I asked about the mission and she confirmed those indeed were photos from a humanitarian trip and that she’d been on two others, one as recently as last fall and she was anxious to put those pictures up too. I like that she is community-​minded (internationally-​minded) and that she could influence others to think of others and ways they can give back.
Before she brought me back, she had taken the time to review my dental and medical history that I’d completed and asked me some qualifying questions about my comfort level while getting dental work done, my dental history, and about myself. Nothing intrusive and frankly, felt like a chit-​chat session of getting to know you. In my opinion, all good stuff. She discussed what was going to happen during the appointment, why they like to give the new patient exam in a different appointment than the teeth cleaning, and that due to some last-​minute staffing snafus (two folks called in sick — of which she apologized for as I was told it’s a very rare thing) and my non-​complicated dental history, I’d be able to get my teeth cleaned afterall. Let me say that I was VERY HAPPY to hear that!!!
I had full films of my upper and lower teeth (18 in all). Ana the hygienist was very friendly too. She took the time to explain everything, she hustled back and forth between each x-​ray, and took gumline measurements (after showing me a video first of what she was going to do, why it was important, and how that helped to establish a baseline of my dental care with them). She showed me things on the x-​rays of what she was seeing but then made sure to tell me that the doctor would discuss things in further depth. We chatted about our families and you could tell that she was very happy in her role at the practice.
By the way, during the actual cleaning, not only did Ana use the typical manual tools to clean my teeth, she then followed it up with a sonic, vibrating tool to do a second sweep of my mouth. I have never had this type of cleaning before — pretty cool! She reviewed good flossing techniques as well.
I could go on-​and-​on but I realize that this review has become rather lengthy. Ultimately, I’m thrilled that we’ve chosen Dr. Welicky for our new dentist and HIGHLY RECOMMEND her and her staff.
Oh and by the way, the little goodies they sent me home with (not just toothbrush, etc, but a cool water mug stuffed with a business-​printed pen, lip balm, mints) was something totally unexpected by very much appreciated. Also, the other little tcotchkes they sent me home made me feel better than the kid who gets to pick something from the goody/​toy basket. :D

OK, I’m definitely surprised that there aren’t waaaaay more reviews here! But, I’m not surprised that they’re all top-​notch because that is what you get when you work with anyone and everyone at Spring Creek Family Dentistry. This is coming from someone who has NEVER liked or enjoyed going to the dentist, no kidding. I have had a few dentists and a handful of orthodontists but until now, I’ve never had anyone work in my mouth who had it ALL. In my opinion, Dr. Weliky embodies all the things that a great dentist has: she’s sweet, funny, warm and she knows how to get the job done with expertise and confidence. She’s got decades of knowledge, an east-​coast vibe and small hands (all are a real +++). To top it off, she has an all-​female staff that is just fantastic! They all like each other and it just feels good to be there.
I’ve had quite a few procedures done from cleaning to cosmetic to crowns and I have to say, I’ve not had ONE problem. It’s been all good experiences, great pain management, great with getting in and not having to wait much if any time at all. I’m going in at 7:30 tomorrow and I’m totally thrilled to see everyone and get my teeth cleaned. Those who know me are surprised to hear me say such things but it’s true. I recommend these folks whenever teeth come up — and I should get a free t-​shirt — but I’ll settle for a great experience, which is more than I felt I could have ever hoped for considering my past experiences. So, if I wasn’t clear, I HIGHLY recommend this office for anyone who wants to enjoy going to the dentist and having a dentist and staff they can trust. Really, I can’t recommend them enough. I adore these ladies!!!

I’ve been going to Dr. Weliky for 20 years and wouldn’t think of going to anyone else. She does excellent work, is great about explaining procedures, takes her time with you, and to top it off she’s one of the kindest people you could ever meet. She gives you options when work needs done and I’ve never felt pressured at all. Everyone who works there is super friendly. The hygienists do a great job, they’re very careful. I highly recommend them!

I’ve been going here since 1999. They are amazing! They have always been personable and professional. Dr. Weliky is the sweetest. It truly feels like home when I come in. Through different insurance agencies (and no insurance) I will continue to be a loyal client as long as they are around.

This was such a great dental experience, the staff at the front were very informative and made me feel at ease, then in the back the hygienist and assistant did everything possible to make sure that I was comfortable, I was even asked what type of music I preferred and given some very comfortable headsets. The teeth cleaning did not hurt at all, they said they have the newest technology so that I didn’t have a lot of bleeding and my gums were not sore afterwards. Dr. Welicky found some things in my mouth that my previous dentist had missed and showed me xrays and photos on the screen from my chair so that I could see what I needed take care of. The ladies in the front worked with my insurance, which was great and now I really love the fixes that the doctor did, my teeth look great, really beautiful now. I have a lot of confidence now that I’m getting the best care of my mouth since I’d like to keep them.

I love Dr. Welicky! I have been a client of her’s for over 5 years. And, she does really good work, and is really thorough. Everyone on staff is really nice & helpful and they have great customer service. She is really knowledgeable and has great advice, I highly recommend their office to anyone! Also, they do online booking for appointments now, so that is really nice!
