Dr. Lusk and his staff are very caring and efficient. I’ve had a fear of dentists since childhood, but they are patient and gentle.
Dr. Lusk is the Best! He is very knowledgeable and he truly cares about his patients. You can’t get better and his entire staff is wonderful too. They care and they take great care of you. I trust them and wouldn’t go anywhere else!
I recently came to Dr. Lusk’s office for a painful tooth. He and his staff were very caring and helpful. I’ve always felt they were sincerely concerned for me as a patient and seem to go the extra mile to get me back on track with my dental health. You won’t find better dentists in Tulsa!
First, just setting up the appointment with the staff, I felt very comfortable. The reminder call, with offering any assistance with directions was great. Dr. Lusk and his staff were friendly, caring and informative. I have already referred my daughter and good friend to contact his office for services.
Our family sees both Dr. Riddel and Dr. Lusk. The staff is kind, considerate and always does that little bit extra to let you know you are appreciated. We now look forward to going to the dentist! We wouldn’t go anywhere else.
I would give Dr. Lusk and his staff 20 stars if I could. He truly cares about his patients, I have had some major dental work done, and he has never hurt me once. He is so gentle I almost fall asleep! He is very professional, honest, caring, and kind. He does amazing work, and is the best at what he does. I am so glad to have my smile back! Thank you to Dr. Lusk and the entire staff.
