  • The group at lotus dental wellness is professional caring and above all very very good at what they do. I'm pretty sure they saved me from a early death from long-term biological infection.

    Russel D.

  • Best dental experience I’ve ever had. I came in needing crowns and wisdom teeth work and was honestly pretty nervous — but I couldn’t have been in better hands. Dr. Han was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and calming, and the whole team, including Dora and Fabi, made the experience easy and stress-free. The results are fantastic, and the holistic approach is ahead of its time, resulting in no pain or anxiety in coming back. I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

    Shane

  • I can’t thank the team at Lotus enough. I can tell the staff cares about connecting with their patients and building relationships, and the same goes for Dr. Delong. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better dentist. Now, I don’t feel like crowns and root canals are my only options. I’m so happy I left general dentistry and found a place that cares about my health and wellness. Thanks for everything 💜

    Morgan

  • Lotus Dental receives my highest recommendation. My tooth extraction preparing me for a ceramic implant was a wonderful experience all around. I appreciate the incredible skill, use of the latest technologies, and especially the very caring, even spiritual, approach that Dr. DeLong provides. First, Joey provided an excellent, comprehensive pre-surgical consultation that allayed all my concerns and answered all my questions. He made sure I would be completely ready for the procedure and I was never rushed. Then, prior to the actual procedure, he performed a 360 degree CT scan, reviewed the procedure details again, prepared my mouth for the dentist, and started my sedation — all handled perfectly, making any remaining stress and worry vanish. My two follow-up appointments with Dora were great, as she checked my healing and prepared me for the next steps. The office is warm and welcoming with all appointment and billing requests. "Holistic" is not just a word here, as Dr. DeLong's unique practice and caring for his patients flows through everyone in the office right into your own feeling of safety, confidence, and healing.
