Prior to finding this practice, I have had years of horror stories from Valparaiso Family Dentistry, including about 10 appointments in for treatment from what began as a simple cracked tooth and didn't even require a root canal, that I am still not done with. I have been meaning to switch dentists for years, but life gets busy and I see the notification that my next cleaning is coming up and say ok I'll get this one done and then look for a new one. I waited way too long, but after researching local dentists and reviews, I recently made the switch to Family Dental Care. I had to pay for new images OOP because insurance only does certain ones every 5yrs and the ones at VFD were a few years old. I was willing to do whatever to switch. I got so lucky with someone canceling an appointment for the next morning and got right in. Their cleaning, calmness, gentleness, thorough explanations, care of how you're feeling and walking you through everything, techniques, patience, knowledge, skills, timeliness, and efficiency are all HUGE positive differences from what I have been experiencing at VFD for the past 5yrs prior. Dr. Wilson caught 5 cavities that my prior location knew nothing about. I do realize it isn't uncommon to get different responses for what is deemed necessary for treatment, between dentists. Another thing I like about Dr. Wilson is all the photos he takes before and during treatment so you can actually see everything going on in the tooth. I got the cavities filled right away and I could see the images from each one, explaining the cavities while I saw them on the big screen in front of me. It has also been a very positive experience working with Dr. Wilson's hygienist, Tiffany. She knows what she is doing, is very kind, and the two work well together, making for a more pleasant experience. Treatment and even general cleanings have been torture at my prior dentist. I can't speak for all services, but what I have had done at Family Dental Care so far has been a breeze to get through compared to others. I hope that continues!

Very good communication from everyone! I am a new patient and the receptionist was very helpful in getting me scheduled immediately to evaluate an oral issue I was experiencing. My dentist of 25 years retired but I think I’ve found a new home!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Experience at Family Dental Care, ValparaisonnI can’t say enough good things about my experience at Family Dental Care in Valparaiso. Yesterday, one of my bottom rear molars cracked completely in half — painful, unexpected, and stressful. I called the office right away, and they were able to get me in first thing this morning, which I truly appreciated.nnFrom the moment I arrived, the entire team was welcoming, professional, and efficient. Dental Hygienist Tiffany was outstanding — she immediately made me feel at ease and clearly explained everything that was going to happen. She went above and beyond by explaining and even demonstrating the pros and cons of each treatment option, ensuring that I fully understood my choices before moving forward. Her professionalism and compassion really stood out.nnDr. Wilson then came in to review my X-rays and discuss the options in greater detail. He took his time walking me through everything and answered all of my questions thoroughly. After careful discussion, I decided on an extraction, bone graft, and future implant.nnDuring the procedure, Dr. Wilson was exceptional — he explained exactly what he was doing every step of the way and made sure I was comfortable throughout. His calm demeanor, attention to detail, and skill made what could have been a stressful procedure go extremely smoothly. The extraction and bone graft were completed efficiently and with minimal discomfort.nnIt’s rare to leave a dental appointment — especially one involving surgery — feeling informed, cared for, and confident, but that’s exactly how I felt. The team at Family Dental Care went above and beyond from start to finish, turning an unpleasant situation into a genuinely positive experience.nnI would highly recommend Dr. Wilson, Tiffany, and the entire staff at Family Dental Care of Valparaiso to anyone looking for exceptional dental care. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail have absolutely earned my trust and gratitude.
