Staninec Michal, DDS, PhD

Great dentist! Have been going to Dr Staninec for 10 years and finally writing a review. If you are looking for an ethical, caring, super efficient dentist, who won’t try and «sell» you the world, I highly recommend him. Nice person too with an excellent staff. Trish is also an excellent hygienist.

GREAT DENTIST!
I was lucky to have a the best sort of referral. A customer of mine who formerly taught at the UC Dental School referred Michal Staninec as one of the best students he could remember having had. Needless to say, his advice was infallible, and I consider myself lucky and blest to have found this office.
Dr. Staninec is about as thorough, careful, and pleasant as someone in this field can be; and he’s such a nice person! His prices seem very fair, and he doesn’t push having things done, and let’s me decide how urgent any major work is, by giving me all the necessary information (I’m still putting off getting a couple of crowns that would be optimum).
I’ve been going to him for at least 20 years, and both Staninec and his staff are really top-​notch. His hygienist, Trish, is thorough, and catches problems before they become major. She also gives worthwhile advice about related health issues. And she’s fun to be around.

Dr. Staninec was referred by an orthodontist 15 years ago. I have been going to his office since that time. His staff is truly amazing!
Trish is my hygenist and she does a fantastic job, exceeding my expectations.
The reason for this review is that I went in for some extensive cosmetic dentistry which Dr. Staninec informed me was unnecessary. It involved changing ALL of my fillings from «silver» to white. We went back and forth about this for a few years. Finally, I told him I wanted it done and we scheduled the appointment. He removed my old fillings, replacing them with new white fillings in two sessions. The amazing part of this is that I fully expected to be in pain following the procedures. There was NO pain.
He is a very knowledgeable dentist and I enthusiastically recommend him.

Been going here when Dr Werner, rest his soul, was the practicing dentist.
Great location. Great Staff. Very clean and super efficient… after what has been in the news lately I am sure everyone can appreciate this.
What I truly love about the office is the legendary «trish». Trish is the dental hygienist… one of the best. She has the most amazing personality. Her work is diligent and flawless.
I have been using Trish’s services for 20 years… and highly recommend her!!!

I have the teeth of a hockey player. You wouldn’t think it to look at me. But if you replaced all the work in my mouth with platinum or gold, i would have one badass blinged out smile. I moved across the country and didn’t have a dentist. I found Dr. Staninec and now about 10 of my closest friends all go to him.
Here’s the thing, the office isn’t the most modern or the fanciest, but you get good, honest dental care and they don’t try to nickel and dime you for everything. They are also really good at the preventative stuff — I haven’t had a cavity in years. :P

My father is a dentist and I am naturally a bit hesitant to go to another dentist than him. However he is not teaching dentistry rather than practicing, plus we don’t live in the same city, so I rely on him for recommendations.
Dr. Staninec came highly recommended to my father from several independent sources. I saw him first on an emergency basis for a root canal. That was very sad to need a root canal, but back to the point. He did a phenomenal job then was kind enough to even touch base with my father and send him a copy of the x-​ray so he could see the work that was done. Truly a gentleman!
I have since been back for a cleaning and Trish is a true riot! She can talk your ear off and you’ll enjoy every minute.
This is not a flashy office but it is 100% professional and the work they do is absolutely stunning! Dr. Staninec also teaches at the dental school part time so he is not in the office daily.
Enjoy the ceiling art too! ;)
