Dr. Lauren Lapinski of Lapinski Dental is our hero. She detected severely swollen glands in our son's neck as a result of a thorough exam. She advised us to see a doctor that very evening. Our five year old son was diagnosed with leukemia just days later. Our son's overall prognosis is much better because of Lauren's tenacity and thorough approach to both dental care and overall health. She personally followed up with us after the exam because her instincts were telling her the situation was very serious.

It's quite possible Dr. Lauren saved our son's life. We are forever grateful to our heroine, Lauren Lapinski of Lapinski Dental.

Our family loves Dr. Lauren. After many years of trying to convince my husband to try out Lapinski Dental he finally got the courage to go and he now truly knows what the erm "gentle dentist" means. I've also been bringing my daughter to the office since she turned 3 and Dr. Lauren has made the experience so welcoming and easy for her to deal with. I am so happy and thankfull to have found this office!

She takes the time to explain procedures and will answer any questions you have. Everyone there is friendly and welcoming. I can honestly say I don't dread going to the dentist anymore!

Dr. Nadler is the best dentist I have ever had. I've had a lot of problems wth my teeth and Dr. Nadler has fixed almost my whole mouth. He is very pleasant, meticulous, thorough, and current on new procedures and materials. He is not pushy but will provide different suggetions to rectify a problem. He truly looks out for the well-being of all of his patients. The staff is also great! If you need a dentist, I highly recommend Dr. Nadler and his staff.

Dr. Nadler is quite simply the best. One of the few out there who takes the time to advance his practice and learn the latest in dental technology and treatments. He's always traveling to conferences to discuss the latest with the international dental elite.

Dr. Nadler and his staff makes going to the dentist a pleasure. I know that is hard to believe, but it is true. He is gentle and reassuring. Dr. Nadler is outstanding in giving you the perfect smile ~ That is attributed to by all the conferences he attends and keeping himself and his staff update with the latest in dental procedures. "I Love my Dentist".

ATTENTION Editor Burchfield,

One can click on a posters name and see how many comments that poster has ever placed on “The Patch.” I started clicking on the names in this poll and discovered most of them only had the one post, posted here for Dr. Lauren. Half way through the process, I stopped looking and wondered if you could somehow list how many posts each of them has ever posted here before, and I think it would also be very interesting if you could supply the date those posters signed up!

It is a shame that the results are coming in this way. Right, wrong, or indifferent your survey is toxic as there is apparently no way to prevent someone for flooding the results. Not that I’m saying that happen, perhaps Dr. Lauren has tons of follows. However, It is too bad you method of survey casts such dispersions on all involved.

Quick Question – Do you make the parties being surveyed aware of your survey, before hand?

There's always a DEBBIE DOWNER that could turn something POSITIVE into a NEGATIVE SITUATION. As simple as voting for your favorite dentist! NOW that's pathetic!!!! Sorry your life is miserable but down rain on someone else's parade!! Sorry, I love my dentist. If you stop hating for just a moment, maybe you can vote for yours!!!
