This place is amazing! they get you in fast and are extremely understanding when you say you're afraid of the dentist! I needed to get a tooth removed and they didnt pressure me to get anything done that day and gave me prices up front! Pricing is very reasonable and doctor is knowledgeable! I had bad anxiety and an odd reaction to the numbing and they brought me a snack and kept me cool with a fan until i felt better! I didnt feel anything at all and they made me feel so comfortable. if you are afraid of the dentist this is the place to go, the entire staff is wonderful.

I went for my first visit with them today. They did XRays and cleaning for me, which went really smooth. The staff was very humble and professional as well. I also really liked the back massager that was built into the chair, that's something I've never seen before at a dentist's office. Dr. Taqvi examined my teeth and explained everything in easy words and talked to me like a family member. He is a great listener too and didn't interrupt or rush me when I was asking questions. I will definitely come back to this place going forward. Great job guys!

Dr. Taqvi and staff made a nervous visit enjoyable. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and Dr. Taqvi is very pleasant and knew everything about my medical situation with my mouth and what needed to be looked at with my implants. I would have gladly continued treatment with Dr. Taqvi but he felt a Periodontist was what I needed. My husband will definitely make an appointment with Elm & Ivory Dentistry.

Yesterday was my first appointment with Dr. Taqvi, dentist and owner of Elm and Ivory Dentistry. I was so impressed with his mannerism, especially the way he explained step by step what he was going to do. I also noticed new dentistry technology that Dr. Taqvi is using in his office. I would highly recommend Elm and Ivory Dentistry.

I've been with Dr. Blackman for over 40 years. Had my first appointment with Dr. Taqvi yesterday and felt very welcomed. He seems kind and very knowledgeable. Was happy to see the same staff and my hygienist was still there!!
