The Proof is in Our Patients
“I recently moved to the area and had not been to the dentist in over 4 years. I was obviously nervous but the team at Orion Lakes Family Dentistry did everything they could to make me calm and help me. They didn't judge when I told them how long it had been and they helped me get the care I needed. So far I had a root canal, after my initial exam, and it was painless and fast! I would recommend Orion Lakes Family Dentistry to anyone looking for a new dentist!”

“If I could give this office more stars I would! From the moment I walked in the door I felt like family. Greeted by everyone with a warm smile and kind words. Very efficient staff got me back before my appointment time. Lisa did my cleaning and was absolutely fantastic! Thorough, knowledgeable, kind, caring and quick. Being my first time there, it far exceeded my expectations. Dr. Witer was wonderful and he has organized an amazing support staff! Highly recommend this office.”

“Best dentist and staff around! My husband and I started going here when we moved out this way and couldn't be happier. Dr. Witer has an awesome personality and is always asking how the family is doing. He remembers my husband's name and my kids name. We eventually switched my daughter over to him as well because she wasn't a big fan of her other dentist which was actually for kids with tvs on the ceiling to watch cartoons and all that, though I knew when she met Dr. Witer she would love him because of his personality and she did. She is very picky when it comes to doctors, teachers and etc so it's always nice finding a person she loves seeing.”
