Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

An Upper Review
Needed to remove upper teeth and replace them. Dr Sherer removed the teeth and put in 6 implants and Dr Zurek on the same day put in temporary upper teeth. My final teeth were put in by Dr Zurek about 7 months later.

Meticulous, Caring Professional
Dr. Alec Zurek is a highly skilled professional—familiar with the latest techniques and technology. He is meticulous in his work and is committed to ensuring the very best outcome. He was recommended by my periodontist several years ago who had the highest praise for Dr. Zurek and his abilities. All of my experiences with him and his staff have been extremely pleasant and positive. I highly recommend him.

Being a senior citizen, I have had a great deal of dental work done over the years by other dentists. Dr. Alec Zurek is in a league far above all others! The feeling you come away with is that the entire staff is truly invested in your well-being and comfort. I only wish he were around earlier in my life.

I had done terrible damage to my teeth (after having no cavities through adolescence) due to a depressive episode and he did a great job "fixing" them as much as possible and maintaining them (all while explaining everything well - which includes knowing his audience and their ability to understand more complex analysis). I was one of his first patients and I would go as far as calling him a friend (I know his kid's names and birthdays, etc). His father (another dentist who initially opened the practice), Kristy, and the rest of the staff are very friendly, as well. I could not recommend him more.

I was referred to Dr. Alec Zurek by my regular dentist. I've had an issue for years with discoloration of gum above one front crown and we were thinking perhaps the old crown lining was showing thru the gum, making it look discolored and unhealthy because I had been to 2 periodontists before and had a root planing done and that was not the issue. The first thing Dr. Zurek said after examining me was that he thought it was a biologic width issue and he referred me to a periodontist who agreed. The periodontist fixed the biologic width issue with some surgery and I returned to Dr. Zurek. Dr. Zurek pointed out several issues with my old crowns and said with 2 new crowns and a veneer on the incisors on either side (one was chipped), I could completely improve things with minimal work. Dr. Zurek did an amazing job. He is quite clearly one of the most professional care givers I have ever met and an amazing human being!

Dr Alec provided a crown on my first cracked tooth. I have been very impressed by his work. He did an excellent job of explaining the situation and my options, along with the pros and cons to each. Of course I followed his recommendations, and was happy with the outcome. I have never felt rushed and there is time for a question when you can talk. He even is able to understand your mumbling when your mouth is occupied. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends. I found their practice through a friend and reading reviews. The doctors have excellent assistants and administrative people. They run a good ship in their office. I received no benefits from this review.

Following my implant procedure, I was referred to Dr. Zurek by my oral surgeon to complete the process of getting a new crown. Dr. Zurek's work is meticulous with perfect results. I am very happy with the outcome and feel very lucky that I was referred to him. He works very hard to get everything right...the creation of the tooth, the color, the fit, and the feel. Dr. Zurek is very pleasant and he carefully explains the process and there are no surprises. His attention to detail results in a successful outcome and a very happy patient! Also, everyone in his office is friendly and efficient which also inspires confidence that they are taking good care of the patients! Thank you so much to everyone at Ascend Dental...you are the BEST!

Dr. Zureck is professional, courteous, and an expert in his field. He takes his time to examine his patients and does a thorough job of explaining the situation before performing a precise procedure as deemed necessary. He is patient and tries to make every procedure as pain free as possible. Our entire family sees him, including our young children and we are very pleased with the practice.

Dr. Zurek and his staff exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend visiting this practice! Dr. Zurek truly lives up to his practice’s name as he raises the patient experience to a whole new level. His professionalism and competence became quickly apparent during my first visit. Dr. Zurek deserves a different type of crown as he is The King of Crowns!

I saw Dr. Zurek over a period of a couple of years getting implant repairs and installation as well as other restorative work. I enjoyed his manner which is very patient centered. He performed difficult modifications to a damaged implant that was amazing. I looked forward to my visits because of his genuine interest in me as a person. I am a generation older, but he related to me as a peer. He educates his patients with descriptive narrative while working. Very upbeat, responsive, and kind.

I came to Dr. Zurek while suffering from chronic infections from very old failing dental implants. My dental case presented Dr. Zurek with many difficult challenges that required the highest level of expertise in his field. He put together a comprehensive dental plan for me incorporating all of today's state-of-the-art tech & know-how. The final result is my new set of teeth that are flawless in look, feel & function! Dr. Zurek is patient, gifted & comes very highly recommended by me! Blessings

Dr Zurek changed my life. When I first went to see Dr Zurek I had a very complicated set of problems. I was going back and forth with a number of specialists and no one would take charge of my case. Dr Zurek took charge. He reassured me that my issues could be fixed and he managed my case all the way to resolution. He changed my life.

When I meet Dr. Zurek my mouth was in a desperate need of more teeth due to a lot of bad dentists I've seen all over the world. He made a plan how to fix it all so now I have 4 implants (with 5th on the way). He is very patient, methodical, caring, takes his time, makes sure patient is comfortable, and there is no pain. He's the first one that used a triangular rubbery thing so my jaw does not hurt after a long session. I have so much confidence that my wife went to him for 2nd opinion. The best
