Words aren’t enough to describe how grateful I am to have found Joshua and have him as my therapist. I struggled so much to trust therapist and open up to them. However, Joshua provides a judgment free environment that allowed me to feel comfortable enough to let myself be vulnerable. I have made so much progress towards my mental health journey and I owe it all to Joshua!

I wanted to leave this review for someone who may need it. Finding a great doctor, dentist is never easy, and sometimes we find ourselves in places we were hoping to get solutions from but, that have only added more problems. I would recommend this DMD to anyone struggling with finding a good dentist and someone that is going to do their best in their work. Before coming to LaSante I was very discouraged and very disappointed, battled with low self esteem. Meeting DMD Chaudhary she’ll finally help me to smile again! She’s so understanding, and considerate. She’s patient and very gives great feedback. Just when I thought it would be upon a few stars I would be able to smile again, is when DMD Chaudhary surprised me, sent requests on my behalf and now I’m in the process of getting my smile back, well, it also brings my confidence back as well. I’ve shared a previous review on Google. Lastly, I want to thank MA’s K.Stewart, J.McDuffie for honoring my privacy, for their professionalism. Thank you to the first MA that worked with DMD, Chaudhary. Thank y’all and may there be more recognition.

Dr. Younas, like all the other physicians I've seen at LaSante, was so patient and thorough in her examination. She walked me through all the different scenarios and possibilities of what could be causing my pain, along with the potential solutions post x-rays. She also put my mind at ease and ensured that she'd help make sure that I get back to my regular activity by working with me to figure out long term solutions. This is the first time I've ever been to a foot doctor, and I look forward to following up with her soon to get back to 100%. Thanks Dr. Younas!

I will offer compliments on the cleanliness of the facility and well maintained. While there may be an extended wait time, the service you receive is acceptable to an extent. My disappointment comes with the poor service of addressing office matters timely which is something that is too much of a common occurrence when receiving care from large multi service health care providers such as this one. Patients can get lost in the shuffle of overwhelming patient requests. While the actual care you may receive may be exceptional that gets lost when simple office matters go on for weeks upon weeks.
