I relocated to Michigan not long ago and needed to find a dentist. I came across New Orchard Dentistry by happenstance because they were the first available office to see me. Best decision ever! Dr. Nashef is not only an extraordinary dentist but he is an extraordinary person. He is kind, funny, caring and can tell a great story. He has also done a great job in surrounding himself with an outstanding and capable staff. I have a complicated dental plan but he continues to walk me thru each procedure. As a former educator, I appreciate his willingness to fully explain and answer all my questions. Sometimes going to the dentist can be a humbling experience…but not at New Orchard Dentistry. This truly has been one of my best experiences with a professional office and encounter with friendly people since moving to Michigan

I’ve always been scared of going to the dentist but New Orchard Dentistry makes it so easy! The staff is so nice and my dentist Dr. Wehbe is fantastic! The staff holds my hand whenever I need shots and Dr Wehbe is so nice and great at what he does. I Highly recommend this place for anything you need done.

Staff is so friendly, and gentle with my teeth. They educate in a polite manner, and are never judgmental. My hygienist was very kind and explained everything she was about to do before doing it, making sure I was comfortable.

I have been going here for about 8 years. Dr nashef is an amazing person and really cares about me. My hygienist Mia is the most joyful person I know. Really makes going to the dentist a cheerful experience.

Monica Sparks

I’ve been a patient of Dr.Nashef for over 10 years. He’s awesome!! His staff is always friendly. I’m never waiting in the lobby for extended periods of time. My hygienist, Mya was super friendly, very thorough and extremely knowledgeable regarding dental care. The office is decorated very beautifully and is always peaceful. I strongly suggest a visit to this dentist office.

Heather Grant

I have a fear of the dentist and normally become very anxious about my appointment. My dental hygienist Danielle went over and beyond to help me remain calm. Letting me know what she was going to do and what i could expect. The atmosphere, service, and gental care was top quality. Highly recommend.

Curtis Marshall

Great Service, Dental Assistant was great. Played R&B while cleaning my teeth was cool too. Have to get some other stuff done as well glad the receptionist told the other lady to go take me in the back due to confidentiality. Lady must have been new but no biggie. Great service overall. Will be returning soon. 🙂💯

Andrei Chioibasu

Me and my wife know Dr Nashef for years. He is a kind person with great abilities as a dental doctor. His new location is very easy to find, clean and well supported by a friendly staff. I personally had no complains over the years, but only a great impression. Overall, I do enjoy my trip to the dentist. 😉 Mia also a wonderful job, being extremely gentle with my cleaning. A totally different experience!

I had a dental emergency. I was not an existing patient here. The office got me in the same day I called and were so accommodating. I would highly recommend!! Staff and dentist were so nice, addressed my concern and I was in and out within an hour. Top notch service for someone who wasn’t even a client. AMAZING!

LaKiesha Hutcherson

I love this place!!! They take the time to throughly explain Your options for treatment. I had a root canal and the whole process was pain free. They make sure you are comfortable every step of the way. When you come in you are greeted like family. The staff is very professional and polite, even the kids love the dentist.
