I’ve been with Midwest Dental, formerly Wauwatosa Dental. for almost 30 years. Every visit has been an excellent experience and issues have been thoroughly explained. Currently, I have Dr. Natalie Darar who is incredible, kind and knowledgeable. I have the best hygienist, Sherry, too. The front desk staff is great. I moved 9 years ago and now drive 30 miles one way to continue my excellent care at this site in Wauwatosa, WI. Thanks for all the years and the exceptional care.

Midwest Dental has provided my dental care for 20+ no years. The personal care and commitment to providing excellence in dentistry is incredible! The hygienists, assistants, dentists and all other dental staff always have my best interest in mind.
I’ve experienced root canals, implant completion, cleaning, and emergency care during my time with them.
I recommend Midwest Dental to family and friends looking for a dentist or wanting to change their current provider. Natalie is my dentist. She’s incredible. Her team works well together and they’re wonderful caregivers. My hygienist is Sherry and she’s the best!

I’ve been going to midwest dental for almost 10 years now. I’ve had a couple different dentists and many dental hygienists over the years - all have been wonderful. Always very kind, non judgmental, and have helped me improve my dental health overall. Would highly recommend to any patient.
Everyone in this office is so patient and caring. My husband and I both go there and we feel so at ease and taken care of. I always recommend them when I am asked!
Great experience. From when I first arrived and had a review of my dental situation, the dental assistant was most helpful-
especially when I had an issue with coughing. She got me to relax and made sure I had water.
The dentist was thorough in options to deal with my situation and provided literature to help with my decision.
Thank you both!!
I had a great experience! I arrived 10 minutes before my appointment and was waited upon as scheduled. They provide great care and attentiveness...made sure I was comfortable with the services, understood why and what procedures were being performed, and what would be needed on my part to ensure the best health of my teeth and gums. I am glad I have chosen them for my dental needs!
This was hands down the best dental visit I've ever had, I highly recommend them. I had a lot of construction done on one tooth and was able to go directly to work afterwards, no swelling or pain.

I have never experienced such amazing care.
Just had my bi-annual cleaning at WDG. Sarah is awesome - she totally listens to my concerns and is so gentle yet thorough. Dr. Leist is very skilled as well. They take what could be a stressful experience and put their patients at ease and make it as enjoyable as possible. I’ve been going to WDG since I’ve had teeth and would definitely recommend.
Sheri is a terrific dental hygienist and Angelique was extremely helpful if providing me with accurate information regarding my insurance coverage and anticipated out-of-pocket expenses.
Wauwatosa Dental and staff are a cutting edge organization and customer oriented group of professionals. I have received nothing less than top notch service and care, which was exactly what I was seeking when I left my previous dental office. And I would be remiss if I didn't recognize Dr. Smolinski for her tremendous treatment skills. Without question, Dr. Smolinski is a highly qualified dental surgeon!
The staff is always friendly, professional, and personable. My children and I never feel like strangers when we visit. It’s always a pleasure every single visit. :)
Check-in with staff in front space was excellent. Routine cleaning was excellent by Sherry. Sherry review records with dentist before cleaning and X-ray was taken to make sure crown was perfect, which is was. Would recommend this dentist office for anything that is needed from cleaning to work in mouth.
This was my first time visiting this dental office and I loved it, it’s spacious and clean I like what I have seen. They accommodate quite well friendly workers very quiet. I liked the way I was treated and I would definitely recommend them to all my family and friends
My appointment at Wauwatosa Dental was wonderful from start to finish. Staff was very friendly and informative. My dental hygienist Bobbi, was very thorough with cleaning my teeth, my x-rays, and my oral cancer screening. She has a wonderful, caring personality. Dr Levin was helpful in referring me to a specialist to deal with my oral health issues. I found a new dental home!!
Long time patient.. best dental clinic.., very up to date technology ...Dr Smolinski is a great dentist as is her dental asst and other staff there ..very efficient, personable and interested in your comfort. Highly recommend.
I have been getting my teeth cleaned here for about 20 years. Very polite and professional staff. I love the early morning appointments. They do a great job at preventative care and taking care of any issues as early as they can.
Receptionist was so helpful on the phone to reschedule my appointment. Sherry is my favorite hygenist and always takes great care of me. She even got me in for same day dental fillings, knowing that my upcoming schedule was going to be difficult. Highly recommend!
I have been going to Wauwatosa Dental for a number of years for regular cleanings. I have been happy with the regular checkups! The girls at the front desk are always so pleasant and helpful too.
Three weeks ago, I needed to have crowns put on three of my front teeth. I was extremely nervous about having this done, but everything turned out great. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Smolinski and her assistant! When my teeth were being ground down, I was pretty emotional. Dr. Smolinski and Gail were so reassuring and really helped put me at ease. Dr. Smolinski did an amazing job - if I didn't know I had crowns, I would think these are my natural teeth.
Dr. Smolinski and Gail are the best!
Our experience here has been fantastic! My daughter was afraid of our 3 previous dentists and this place has made those fears disappear. From the staff when you first walk in to the dental hygienists to the dentists, we have loved our time here.
Dr. Tanty and his entire staff from the moment you walk into the office is nothing short of FABULOUS! They have been very informative re: the care they are currently providing as well as future and preventative care they reccomend. Our entire family is seen at the office and even our youngest is no longer afraid to go to the dentist. Their "Chair-Side" manner is Amazing. Highly reccomend!
I have been going to Wauwatosa Dental Group for years now. They have always been honest and provided wonderful service. I never felt like I was recommended for any dental service that was not necessary.
