Dr. David A. Sudimack, DDS

"Dr. Sudimack is simply amazing! From the friendly staff to the state-of-the-art office, every visit is a great experience. Dr. Sudimack gentle, attentive, and truly cares about patient comfort, I highly recommend this practice for exceptional dental care!"

First, let me say that Dr. Sudimack was highly recommended by a dentist-friend I trust, and that my dental hygienist did a good job on my first visit. HOWEVER, communication, policy, and practice in the office are the worst I’ve experienced in several states and across several countries. They do not follow industry standards for care and process established by and experienced in all the other practices I’ve been to. Policies seem arbitrary and subject to whim, are not patient-centric nor patient-serving, and Dr. Sudimack and his team have failed completely to offer either personalized or industry-standard care, to my detriment as a patient. I do not recommend this practice if you have other options. ***Update re Sudimack’s response to this review: It is, unfortunately, inaccurate, misleading, and further reason for my low rating… Despite Sudimack’s claims to the contrary in his response, his office did, in fact, see me 6 months ago and gave me a cleaning only, without an exam, even though I requested, planned for, and scheduled a complete exam, as is industry standard to establish care and especially important in my case, given a clearly communicated history of head/neck cancer with radiation treatment. No explanation was offered despite my request for one.***

Excellent service, friendly staff and a thorough evaluation and treatment plan. So far the best dentist I’ve ever been too!

My first experience with Dr. Sudimack came after I broke off part of my back molar around Christmas 2022. I wasn't his patient yet, but he was able to get me in very quickly. He was very thorough and gentle and even though he had squeezed me in, I never felt like he was rushed. He has since corrected issues that my previous dentist had said 'You're just going to have to live with it...' with amazing results, I might add! I live in Alamogordo (70 miles away) and had had a bad experience (plus spent a lot of money) at the local dentist with disappointing results, but I gladly drive to his office in Las Cruces. His chair-side demeanor makes me feel like I'm visiting a friend and his staff are always extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Dr. Sudimack and have referred all of my friends and family to his office! I just wish I had found him sooner! Plus being able to watch the pups in the play yard outside the window of his office is the icing on the cake!

tl; dr -- Dr. Sudimack and his team run the best dental office I've gone to in three states over five decades of dental care. UPDATE: On Visit #3, I received more of the same top-tier professional dental care. The space for my crown was digitally measured very carefully, and the tooth was milled in-office--which was exciting to see! Two hours from walking in to walking out with a brand new fitted crown that's going to last. The best of 21st century dental technology combined with people who give their best as people and dental professionals every day. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. On visit #2 for the root canal-plus-crown, I had a panic attack from anxiety. I knew I was safe, but the fear came back. They took care of me amazingly well, got me calm. I felt zero pain at all during the root canal procedure, which was amazing. Caring staff as ever, professional front office, and wonderful environment. * * * Dr. Sudimack and his team run the best dental office I've gone to in three states over five decades of dental care. To begin I am terrified of dentists after a lifetime of inappropriate shaming, insufficient pain management, and mediocre dental work. My last visit to fix a filling required a pre-appointment prescription which didn't cut through the anxiety then terror because of insufficient novocaine (a regular occurrence for me) and being told I was wrong. I nearly bit down on the drill at that visit trying to hold my mouth open myself. My visit to Dental Associates began as an emergency call. When I walked in, my intake paperwork was on my phone as a completed PDF, and they had me email it for them to print instead of make me fill out a new set in the office. I sat in the office listening to punk pop music (which I like) and waited, expecting to wait most of the morning. I didn't have to wait long. I was settled in, and my teeth were imaged. When I learned what I suspected, I started to panic and was in tears because I finally had to have a root canal--a procedure I'd been told was agony. Dr. Sudimack and his staff were empathetic and kind as the procedure was explained in detail. They never shamed my fear, never dismissed my anxiety. After the few pinches from the injection (which I'm not afraid of) and a mouth block (to comfortably help me hold open my mouth during the procedure, a new experience for me) I didn't feel a thing during the procedure. Nothing. Not pressure. Not pain. I heard it but didn't feel it at all. And when I cried tears of happiness, Dr. Sudimack was worried at first then happy to have helped me. While I still have more procedures, I'm not afraid for Dental Associates to do them. (Plus . . . pups! Out the window of the examination room is a doggy day care for the amazing staff.)
