What our patients say

Our

Mission

The mission of Sarah K. Katz DMD PLLC is to improve our patients’ quality of life through education, prevention, and the best quality dental treatment that we can provide.

Our vision is to do Ideal Dentistry for those who want it. We believe that everyone deserves ideal dentistry and if they don’t know about all the possibilities available to them, then we aren’t doing our jobs right. We are fulfilling this mission and vision by educating ourselves with countless CE hours, communicating well with our patients, training our team so we are all on the same page, having multiple financial options, and being fee-for-service so that our dentistry is not limited by insurance companies dictating treatment.

We use pictures that tell a thousand words and videos to help educate our patients. We have a clinical standard of care we all follow. We have protocols that we all understand and follow so that each of us communicates the same thing to every patient. This way, no matter which provider you see in our practice, you will hear the same message at each visit and the same philosophy from each person.

Our

Values

We understand people come to us with extreme anxiety! We make specific accommodations purposely for anxiety but also for those of us with sensory issues or those on the spectrum and any other issues. If you don’t notice what we did but feel comfortable anyway, then we did our job right. We care and we work at it. If we don’t meet your needs please don’t hesitate to let us know, we are always on the lookout to improve.
