Dr. Joe is an excellent dentist and his staff has always been very friendly and competent.
I love my new crown, it is perfect in every way! Just like y'all!
No waiting time, dental assistant gave me a good cleaning, Dr. Jakubek followed up with a thorough check up.
What A WONDERFUL DENTIST!!!!! I had scheduled a New Patient appointment for a check-up and before appointment I developed a severe tooth ache.. Dr Jakubek drove up to his office to meet me and perform a root canel on the tooth I was having pain in. It was a holiday weekend also! I can't thank him enough!!! Dr. J was so wonderful and professional and he gained me as a new patient in his practice, hands down!!! Thank you Dr J!!!
I have been going to Dr. Jakubek since about 1984 or 1985 and have never had a bad experience. He is by far the best dentist I have ever gone to. I am a real chicken when it comes to my mouth and teeth and Dr. Jakubek is very gentle, which alleviates my fear. All of the office staff are very good. I would highly recommend Jakubek Dentistry.
Always high quality and very professional.
I have been going to Dr. Jakubek for over 10 years, and I must say, his dental work is the best I have in my mouth, and he is the ONLY dentist I've been to who can get me adequately numb with regular Novacaine. I have pretty severe dental anxiety, and Dr. Jakubek is very patient with me, and very careful. I also appreciate the thoroughness of the hygienist I see, and would recommend this practice to anyone without hesitation.
Dr. Jakubek and his staff makes going to the dentist fun.
I always have a great experience with Jakubek Dentistry. My husband and I have been going for a number of years. Everyone is alway nice and always asking if I'm comfortable. I feel like the dental hygienist always does a great job and Dr. Jakubek is very thorough in his exam. I highly recommend this dental office.
Excellent experience with same-day crown and filling. Not rushed and everything explained in detail.
Friendly professional service from front desk to hygienist (loved Brenda) to Dr.Jakubek.
Dr. J does great work. He's been working on our teeth for over 20 years. Greatservice and great people.
Been going to this office for over 10 years. They are all the best-from reception, tocleaning, to exams and procedures. Gentle, kind, understanding, and professional. Ilove these people and highly recommend their office.
I have been seeing Dr. J for more than 30 years. He and his staff are kind and professional. They ensure that you are comfortable, never in pain, and there is never any doubt that they have your health and best interests at heart.
As usual, my experience with Jakubek Dentistry was excellent! Dr. Jakubek is professional, thoughtful with a high standard skill set, doing always what is best for the patient. Brenda did an excellent job with my cleaning and always has great advice for better care. The office is always clean, friendly and helpful. I have been seeing Dr. Jakubek since 1999 and I couldn't be more pleased with the content of care.
The staff and doctor was great as always. I would highly recommend Jakubek Dentistry.
Dr. Jakubek and his staff are friendly and professional. He takes great pride in his craft as a dentist and I'm happy after each visit!
The hygienist Brenda was so friendly and made my first visit very enjoyable. Dr. Jakubek was very personable. I look forward to continuing to go to this office.
Nice staff. They always remember me and comment on my personal life. I feel that they actually care about me as a person.
Detailed, yet fast and efficient! Thank you for being cognizant of my time!
Pleasant staff, quick and friendly dentist.
Everyone is very friendly and loves what they do. Once Dr. Jakubek meets a new patient and gets to know them he is very nice and likes to talk to about things outside your teeth. I would 100 percent recommend friends that are looking for a dentist to Dr. Jakubek.
Dr jakubek is great. Explains things thoroughly doesnt do unnecessary work. His hygienists are great. Always a good experience!
Great people, never a long wait. Great hygienist, great dentist. Highly recommend.
Mr Gearhart ! Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to give us such an awesome review !!
Dr Jakubek has been my dentist for over 25 years. He has done a lot of work on my teeth including crowns and he does an exceptional job and is meticulous about getting them perfect in ever way. I have never had a bad experience at his practice. He is a wonderful person and has a great personality and he really cares about his patients. 5 stars from me.
Brenda was great, cleaning was painless and quick. First time that it didn't hurt.
I had a routine cleaning, and everything was done professionally and efficiently.
Very professional and courteous staff. Dr. Jakubek is highly knowledgeable and skilled!
THEE best dentist in the Carolinas!!
I was very pleased with my experience at Jakubek dentistry. It was good to be treated with professionalism and care. The doctor and all the other employees made me feel that I was in safe hands. Informed me at all the steps n explainng procedure.I am truly grateful.
My new hygienist Brenda was very sweet and worked quickly; she made a routine cleaning go very quickly and she did a great job!
I love this dental practice...the staff is super friendly & will help you with your insurance...Dr. Jacubek is extremely knowledgeable and has the resources & tools to do procedures same day....& you can watch TV in your chair...which my kids love, just on overall amazing dental practice!!
Thank you for the great review!!
Was wary since my long loved hygienist retired, but happy to say I was paired with another great hygienist also with excellent and lengthy experience. Also, I have pretty significant fear of dental procedures, Dr. Jakubek is actually the most competent dentist I have encountered.
I am quite happy and satisfied with all my visits to this dental office. I will continue to see Dr. J.
Once again, my wait was less than 5 minutes, teeth cleaning was painless and exam was thorough. From front desk to Dr. Jakubek, they are the best!
Dr. Jakubek and his team have taken good care of me and my wife over the years. I needed some crowns replaced years ago and he did an amazing job. He was very patient and wanted to get every detail just right for me. I highly recommend him.
Appointment was explained thoroughly before any work was done. All my questions were answered. Atmosphere was calm and very pleasant.
Excellent care. Love the whole Jakubek team! They are never rushed and always make sure that I am comfortable.
Very pleased with service friendship and professionalism.
It was very quick, pleasant and high quality..
Such a nice experienced talented dentist!
Was nervous and apprehensive and had a very positive experience. The hygienist was very sweet and accommodating and the dentist was wonderful as well.
I used to be afraid to go to the dentist. Since being referred to Dr. Jakubek, I look forward to going and leave his office encouraged and motivated. The staff is professional, joyful and serve most excellently in their roles of hygienist and administrative assistants.
Thank you for the great review! We enjoy having you as a patient!
Dr. Jakubek has a firm touch and good honest handshake. He and his staff are an excellent team. They were all warm, sweet and extremely helpful. I'm glad I chose his office.
I have been a patient at this clinic for several years.
Dr Jakubek and his staff are very knowledgeable and courteous.
Karen was the best! I hadn't been in quite sometime and she took great care of me. I really appreciate that!
Great service. Very friendly staff. Our family loves having Dr. Jakubek and his wonderful staff take care of us!
Easy explanation of costs, very thorough cleaning and examination!
Dr.Jakubek and his team were great!!
Went in with a broken tooth and had to get a crown. Was all done in one visit. Very professional, explained the whole process and excellent work.
Been going to Dr. J for over 25 years. Always service. Great hygienists as well!
Thank you from the great review!
Dr Jakubek is the best dentist I have seen. His experience and knowledge are at the highest level. I need some extensive work at my age and I am happy I found him.
I have been going to Jakubek Denistry for many years now and it is a great place to go!
The front desk staff and Any was very friendly. Dr Jakubek was excellent. He knew exactly what I needed. He took the time to explain what was going on and referred me to an Endodontist. I would definitely recommend.
My family have been with Dr Jakubek since we moved here in 2009. Wouldn't go anywhere else!
Dr. Jakubek always provides excellent, compassionate, and quick care.
My experience going to the dentist improves with every visit.
My appointment was on time and very professional.
Everyone was extremely nice and caring.
Dr Jacubek is the finest Dentist i have ever been to. I have lived in NYC, Chicago, LA, San Francisco, and Atlanta just to name a few so I have had top-notch care.
This man is the best....bar none.
I am always pleased with Dr. Jakubek and his staff. Dr. Jakubek has been my dentist for the past 20 years. Always quick to recommend his services for those needing an excellent dentist.
Excellent visit from the time I walked into the lobby. They are the best!
Dr. Jakubek is the best!
Dr. Jakubek is wonderful and I'm always pleased with my dental work.
I was taken care of promptly and with great care.
I go out of my way to come to this dental office because the staff is friendly and makes me feel special. Dr. J is from "old school", I like the way he treats his patients.
I've been going to Dr Jakubek for years. He's wonderful and so nice. I was there to get a cleaning and had my son with me who isn't a patient. I was talking about his teeth coming in etc and Dr Jakubek started giving me advice about my son but it was unsolicited. I'm sure he meant well and certainly was trying to be helpful but it just got on my bad side since he wasn't a patient and I hadn't asked for any advice.
Dr. J is the best! TVs can be a distraction for hygienist.
Friendly and professional dentist. In addition to Dr. Jakubek, the medical staff (including my wonderful hygienist, Karen) is consistent vs the revolving door you find at some. I have never had to wait as they honor appointment times.
The office was nice, the staff was all very friendly, and Dr. Jakubek was great. They were polite, efficient, and made me feel comfortable. I had a really pleasant experience and I would highly recommend this dentist office to everyone.
Always kind and concientous care. Front desk staff are extremely helpful and responsive as well!
Thank you for the great review Michael!
Great staff and Dr. Jakubek provides a great learning environment for his patients as well.
Another easy appointment. In-and-out for a cleaning in under and hour.
Prompt appointments, good service, thoroughly professional.
Was very nice and did a thorough cleaning but a little too rough, my teeth and gums were killing me after.
Dentist was very patient. Explained procedures.
They are very good at what they do, that is why I keep coming back. "Very Professional!!
Everyone is nice helpful and very professional.
All was good, just during check up before cleaning I think I've lost my small filling when doctor was checking it by scratching.
Sustained a large painless chip to my front tooth during a holiday weekend. Dr. Jakubek was able to work me into his schedule on the morning of the next business day. Thirty minutes after my appointment time, I'm out of the office and as good as old.
Great staff, Dr jakubek is great!
Everyone at the clinic is very professional and kind.
One of the best dentists around!
My husband and I have been Dr. Jakubek's patients since we moved here from Florida 33 years ago. Dr. Jakubek is a excellent dentist and the hygienists and everyone in his practice are great. I would highly recommend Jakubek Dentistry.
Have been going there for 20+ years. Everyone is great!
Dr. Jakubek is the best dentist in the Charlotte area. His staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.
Always a pleasure to visit Dr. Jakubek and his staff!
The staff was very friendly and very helpful with scheduling appointments and explaining insurance / billing. Dr. Jakubek explained the procedures that needed to be done in very specific detail.
I would definitely recommend Dr. Jakubek. He does great work, He is very friendly and so is his staff. Not to mention he is the best dentist Ihave ever gone to and I have to a lot of dentist.
Dr. Jakubek and his staff do an excellent job.
Very through and friendly doc and staff included.
I always experience the best treatment at Dr. Jakubek's office. Everyone is super nice and helpful. Dr. Jakubek is just wonderful and so easy to work with.
I received the normal high quality service I have come to expect from Dr Jakubek. What can I say, I like him better than any dentist I have ever gone to.
Thank you Mr. Terry for the great review!
Dr J. and his team always do a great job.
Always have a wonderful experience when I come to this practice. I have no problem recommending Dr. Jakubek to anyone and I have.
Never a wait! Everyone is very nice, excellent dental hygienist on staff and Dr Jacubek is an excellent dentist.
Dr. Jakubek is an excellent dentist and is a bit of a perfectionist -- which I feel is a good thing concerning my dental care. His staff is also very friendly and accommodating.
EPITOME OF PROFESSIONALISM. UTILIZES THE MOST UP TO DATE EQUIPMENT. ALWAYS ON TIME FOR APPOINTMENTS. VERY MINIMAL WAIT TIME. NICE APPROACH TO PATIENT. OFFICE VERY CLEAN AND ATTRACTIVE.
Excellent and prompt care as always. Very friendly staff.
The staff is always friendly and they do a great job. Dr Jakubek is very knowledgable and gentle.
Jakubek Dentistry was, as always, thorough and considerate during my cleaning. They are a wonderful staff!
Staff are awesome and Dr. Jakubek is the best! I have been a patient for over 20 years and will only switch when he retires!
Great staff and skilled Doctor. Doc even took the time to show me the decay of my tooth after he did some drilling. Good to know that it wasn't fabricated as I've been suspicious of dentists in the past. I trust Dr. Jakubek and his office. Thank you for always providing a positive, pain free experience.
Could not be happier with my visit last week. It was my first time getting a crown and I was very nervous. Dr. Jakubek did a great job explaining everything and making me feel at ease. Even though my insurance is not in network with your office, I would never go anywhere else because you guys are amazing!
I do not like the dentist in general... With that said, Dr. Jacubek is AWESOME! He made me feel comfortable and also worked with my insurance to get me taken care of! He also got me in quickly, whereas another dentist I called told me it would be a month before he could get me i.! I am VERY happy with Dr. Jakubek's work & staff! My husband and I have definitely found OUR new dentist!
Thank you for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed your visit.
It's never "fun" getting your teeth cleaned.
My experience with Dr. Jakubek and his staff was excellent as it has been for the past several years that he has treated me. Very professional and caring and offers succinct discussion concerning the procedure(s) he will be performing.
The most comfortable experience I have ever had at any dentist office.
Wonderful, that's what we like to here.
Glad you had a good visit.
Very quick and painless. Some soreness, as predict--no big deal!
Everyone was very friendly, helpful and professional. Thank you!
I've tried other dentists, but went back to Dr. Jakubek, even though it is a good distance from Mt. Pleasant. Only complaint I have is that he held my jaw down too firm for the crown setting (back molar). I thought he was going to break my jaw; however, I have arthritis and have had TMJ surgery many years ago. My husband agreed, though, that Dr. Jakubek does push down too firm on the jaw when placing the crown, and my husband has really firm jaws. That being said, though, I wouldn't want to go to another dentist. I love it that he can now manufacture the crowns on the same day, one visit, in his office. Amazing technology!
Always a pleasure to go to Dr. Jakubek's office!
Awesome as always. Dr. Jakubek has been my dentist for as long as I can remember. He is the best with the latest dental technology and a wonderful, very experienced staff.
I have been going to Dr. Jakubek for at least 9 years. He has always been forthcoming and easy to converse with as was the dental hygienist . I have recently been dissatisfied with the front office personnel on my last two visits and this past visit also with the dental assistant. There is a "feeling" they are disinterested, "doing you a favor" and overall do not like working in the office.
In-and-out with ease. You guys make going to the dentist very easy.
Dr. Jakubek and his staff were excellent. It was my first time there and my best experience at a Dentist.
Dr. Jakubek is very experienced and has kept up with all the latest innovations in dentistry. He does amazing work, and I have never had any pain. He has been my dentist for 30 years.
Always treated nicely and Excellent Staff and Dr.
Catherine is wonderful and made my visit to Dr. Jakubek's office fun and welcoming!
Dr. Jakubek is always so friendly and approachable!
Typically, the office is right on schedule. Last visit, we had an early morning appt. and had to wait 20 mins to get called back. Also learned that this was an appt. that addt'l work was to be performed (as part of the scheduled visit). I typically confirm my appts. via the automated email or text but, it would be nice to be reminded that the upcoming visit would be longer than usual (in advance). Appt. was made 6 mos. ago so, it's not something a patient would remember. That's all. Other than that, the experience is always great.
Sorry for the wait. Sometimes emergencies pop up and delay our schedule. Glad you still had a great visit.
Visits are always good, they are friendly, nice, and do good work!
Everyone was friendly and welcoming. I did not feel rushed & was given a thorough explanation of the findings of my exam.
Glad your visit was great!
Always very accommodating and a great staff. Dr. Jakubek is exceptional.
Very friendly team. They made it a quick and pleasant experience. I appreciate the positive attitudes of the staff.
Glad your visit was pleasant.
I had my second crown done at this dental practice. The whole process takes about two hours thanks to a wonderfull milling machine that produces the crown in about 20 minutes. It is a technological marvel giving this dental practice a sharp competitive edge. I have been Dr. Jakubek's patient for almost 10 years. As always, the care he and his dental hygienist provided was superb. His receptionists conduct themselves in a professional manner and are always pleasant to deal with.
I like the personal attention of a family practice over the services provided by larger Dental clinics and associations.. Staff is very friendly. Jakubek Dentistry utilizes current technology and the office environment is superb.
Everything about Jakubek Dentistry is top notch. From the customer service to the patient care and technology within the office there is not a better place. My wife and I recently relocated to the area and spent a good deal of time looking for a dentist. After seeing positive reviews and speaking with a friend who had experience with the practice we decided to give it a try. We were not disappointed, Dr. Jakubek and his staff lived up to their reputation. From beginning to end the patient is treated with the utmost respect and the quality of work is unrivaled. We have found a dentist for life, thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words. We are happy you enjoyed your visit.
Friendly and professional. Recently got braces was not sure how a cleaning would work. They did an excellent job as always.
I had to have a emergency "Root Canal" a week before going on my first cruise, Dr. Jakubek got my in for the procedure and everything turned out great. Everything was extremely "Professional" for such a tedious procedure. I have been a patient of Dr. Jakubek's for many years now and I really love the way he takes his time and explain things to you.
Glad your visit was great, enjoy your cruise.
Great experience.... like visiting with family members!!
Even though not a chosen activity (!!) visits to Dr. J. and staff are always positive.
I had a very pleasant experience at Dr.Jakubek's!! I had a crown put on a tooth all in one visit!! Dr.Jakubek & his staff have always been friendly & helpful.
Love Dr. Jakubek and staff. Professional with a sense of humor. Always on time and great dental care. I think I would use someone besides demand force. com for reviews as there website is a mess.
I would never go anywhere else. Consistently, year after year, professional expertise and genuine caring.
Very nice staff with a wonderful facility and location.
Never fails....excellent job...professional, efficient and most of all, quality work..
Always love visiting office. Staff and Dr. J always nice and courteous..
They are very accommodating, I broke my tooth on a Friday night, they called me first thing Monday morning squeezed me in and put a crown on my tooth the same day. Everybody was pleasant and I had a very pleasurable experience! They have state of the art equipment and they are reasonably priced!
We are so happy you were pleased with your visit Jeanne.
I had a great experience at Dr.Jakubek's office. They were fast friendly & explained my next treatment in plain terms. I found a forever dentist!!

Meera - thanks for the wonderful review and look forward to taking care of you and your family.
Karen and the whole Jakubek Dentistry staff are always polite, professional, and friendly. I never hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.
Thanks so much for the wonderful review Kathy!
My family has been referred already.
Everything went very well. On time, little pain, good conversation, finished sooner than I thought.
Garrie thanks for the great review.
Perfect as always. Catherine is the most thorough hygienist I have known, and Dr. Jakubek the best dentist I have used. He is the only dentist able to numb the tough back quadrants in my mouth without special anesthesia, and his work has been excellent. Nice office staff, too.
My visit was great as always. I've been coming to Dr. J for over 30 years now. If anyone asks me about a dentist, I always recommend him.
Awesome dentist and hygenist. Best in Charlotte area.
Wow - Lisa thanks for the great review!
Another great check-up. Catherine is so friendly and thoughtful. She's also a great hygienist. Dr. Jakubek has a great team and efficient operation. I had a 7:30 a.mm appointment and I still made it to work for my morning meeting at 8:30 a.m. Thank you!
Bobby, thanks for the wonderful review!
As ever, the professional attention received is excellent. As a longtime patient of Dr. J., I am ever appreciative of his skill, his interactive style, and his care.

Wow - thanks for the great review Marylou!

Thank you all for your efforts, time, attention and smiles.
Herb, thank you for the wonderful review!
Courteous personnel , although I did have a thirty five minute wait. Have never had to wait before.
We apologize for the longer-than-expected wait in our office recently. We know you're busy, and are sorry to have caused any inconvenience.
We make every effort to keep you on time for your appointment, but periodically there are dental emergencies that throw off our schedule. We hope you take comfort in knowing that you will get the same immediate attention should you ever find yourself in a similar emergency.
We appreciate your patience and apologize once again for any inconvenience.
We have a wonderful experience each time. Dr. Jakubek is highly skilled and provides our family with quality, pain free dental care. Thank you for all you do!
Your welcome and thanks for the excellent review.
Doctor Jakubek is the best dentist I (and my family) have ever had. He is extremely thorough and explains everything so you will understand what he is doing. After having bad dental office experiences in the past-it is a pleasure to go to his office, have excellent work done and deal with nice professional people (his staff and Hygienist).
Chris thanks for the wonderful review!
Went in for a small cavity... I am huge baby and have huge anxiety about having work done. The dentist and his staff were very understanding and helpful at calming me down. I also did the nitrous gas which helped tremendously!! The worst part was over super fast and the entire appointment only took 50 minutes. I hate having work done but if needed again I will be going back to Dr. Jakubek!
Wendy thanks again for the wonderful review.
Dr. Jakubek and all staff are very professional and give the best quality care.
Thank you Ana! We look forward to always making your experience with us a great one!
The DR. Was able to fit me in for a root canal right after my bi-annual cleaning. Now of course a root canal is no day at the park, but the staff is very caring and attentive while you're in the chair.
Personally, I listen to music during the work and that always gives me something calming to focus on.
I've been a patient for about 8 years. You really can't go wrong if you choose Dr. Jakubek as your dentist.
Thanks for the wonderful compliment Janet!
Best cleaning I have ever had.
Gene, thanks for the wonderful review!
Gerri; thanks again for the wonderful review.
Thanks again for the wonderful review, Binu.
Gerri thank you for the wonderful review and referrals.
I walked in at 7:30am, smiles all around, warm greeting, and I was ushered inside right away. I sat down in "the" chair, and was greeted again by big smiles from the dentist and his assistant. The filling went quickly and painless and I have no discomfort whatsoever once the anesthesia wore off. Great stuff!
Thank you for the excellent review Mark.
Thorough, gentle, professional, friendly environment. THANKS!
That's very thoughtful thanks Larry.
I only went in for a cleaning this time. Everyone was very nice and the hygienist did a great job on the cleaning. I felt the exam was very detailed oriented. I go back for a small cavity... that's when I need to do a review! I have huge anxiety issues with having work done. Dr. Jakubek was very kind and informative; I think I will be in good hands.
Wendy thanks for the wonderful review and your in great hands with Dr. Jakubek.
This is a seasoned and accomplished dentist with friendly chairside manners. In addition all of the staff are pleasant and are very good at what they do.
Everyone was smiling and happy.
Mark thanks for the wonderful review.
Thank you Myra and were excited that you have chosen us as your dental family.
Dr. Jakubek and his staff show great care and attention each time I visit. They have a wonderful facility and a great attitude of service for their clients. All my questions and concerns are answered, and each time, visiting the dentist seems more like a treat rather than a responsibility.
Amanda, thank you for the wonderful review.
Thank you for taking the time to offer your review!
Thank you for the review Karyn! Glad you're doing better.
Love Dr. J....wouldn't go any where else!!! Kind....Cariing.... Genuine..... His staff are great... Where in this day and age do you gets hugs and they remember your kids names AND Dr J is NEVER to busy to take a call from a panicked mother whose son broke his front tooth. I have and will keep referring to the best practice around!
Thank you for the kind review Maxine! You were a great patient!!
My recent experience with Dr. Jakubek and his staff, Melissa and Kathryn, was as usual, excellent!
there. Dr. Jakubek only does what is absolutely necessary and always explains, discusses and leaves the final decision to the patient. I cannot speak highly enough regarding the professional, superb care I have been fortunate to experience at his office.
Sharon, Thank you very much! This is a kind and thoughtful review and we certainly appreciate patients like you!
Very good dentist. They really care about their patients.
Thank you Carey, we really do!
By far the best dentist I have have ever seen in my 45 years of living! Root Canal in the top and two fillings and I haven't felt any pain at all! The staff is awesome starting at the front desk Milese, she brings high energy to get you relaxed for your visit and makes sure you comfortable before leaving. The Assistants are very professional and knowledgeable! Dr Jakubek is hands down a professional in his career. He assures you that you will be fine during the entire process. I highly recommend anyone with dental work needed to give Dr Jakubek a call! "If you want to stay in pain, continue seeing your current dentist, if you want professional pain free dentistry work done Dr Jakubek is your guy"
I am a very long time patient of Dr. Jakubek. I have always been treated as a valued patient and the dental work is top of the line.
Thank you for the great review Sharon! You are a valued patient!
He did a great job on the crown and filling. I like how he has a 3D printer in the office that can make a crown right there without having to make a mold and come back another day. However, my tongue was burnt in several places and 2 weeks later is just beginning to heal. When the anesthetic wore off, the teeth were fine but my tongue was in pain for days! I'm not sure which machine hurt my tongue, but I thought he should be more careful.
Jack, Thank you for the review. I will share this with the team and let Dr. J know.
I have been going to Dr J for 29 years. He is the best. Office staff is great. Ask for Catherine to clean your teeth. She is super nice.
Thank you Pardon! I will pass this along to the team!
this was my first experience with Dr Jakubek. Since I had not been tot he dentist in a couple of years and since my old dentist was in another state, I was apprehensive to say the least. It's never easy to pick a new medical provider. I will honestly say that I was pleasantly surprised with my whole experience. I had 2 cavities fixed and a crown. Watching the crown be sculpted was fascinating. The entire staff works to make you feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend them.
Thank you for the excellent review Cynthia!
Very professional, courteous and competent! They make cleaning my teeth a spa treatment for my mouth!
Thank you for the nice review Crystal!
Awesome experience again! Everyone from the front desk to Dr Jakubek shows genuine interest in you while on your visit!
I am a patient of Dr. J's now for over 24 years. Superior dental work always.....Best dentist ever.
Thank you for the excellent review Mona!
I have been going to Dr. Jakubek for years and I trust him completely. He is highly professional with a good sense of humor and takes excellent care of his patients. His office staff are very friendly, caring, understanding, and professional as well. I am an RN and have been to many dentists in my lifetime and he is by far the best. I highly recommend him and his colleagues.
Billie, thank you for the excellent review! We are lucky to have a patient like you!
Everybody is very friendly. Will recommend Jakubek Dentistry to my friends.
Thank you for the review, We appreciate referrals!
From the first phone call until I checked out after my appointment was one of the greatest experiences I've had. All staff including Dr Jakube were cheerful, personable, helpful and professional. I'm looking forward to my next appointment!
Thank you for the excellent review Patty!

Dr. Jakubek and his staff did a wonderfull job. I have recommended him to all of my friends (and all who have gone have thanked me for the referal).
Thank you for the excellent review Polina! And the referrals!
Great appointment as usual. Catherine is the best hygienist I have ever been to, and always runs on time. Dr. Jakubek has done the best dental work I have in my mouth. I would recommend this practice to anyone.
Thank you for the excellent review Christine!
Prompt clinic visit. Very nice and clean facility.
Had my first cavity in years. This is the first filling I would have had done by Dr. Jakubek. As always, I am thoroughly pleased with his staff and just as pleased yesterday with the manner in which this service was performed. Dr. Jackubek is so efficient that I never have to wait and this appointment was no different. I am very pleased with the end result of my new filling.
Thank you for the kind review Michelle!
Always a good experience. Very accomodating with scheduling. Professional and friendly staff.

It was my first visit for cleaning. Staff are very kind and professional.
Very professional and friendly staff. Very thorough cleaning. They are accommodating with scheduling and even moreso when it comes to the insurance claim process. Happy to have found this practice.
Thank you Eman, It was such a pleasure meeting you and your husband!
Thank you for the nice review Mike!
The process of in office crown creation is very impressive.
Thanks for the review Gay!
Staff and Dr. J were great. I knew that I was facing serious dental concerns, but they made me relax and very comfortable. The care and time they took with me was outstanding and more then I could have hoped for. I have a lot to think about, but fully aware of my options. I would not hesitate to recommend this practice. Thank you Dr. J and your staff.
Thank you Rita, it was great to meet you!
The staff is always a pleasure and makes the experience positive.
Top quality work and the best staff your hard earned money can pay for, my dentist for life. Got my normal cleaning yesterday and always am very appreciative of people that take their time and do it right.
Thank you for the excellent review! We appreciate you!
Dr. Jakubek is an extremely skilled dentist who cares about his patients. He is informative and lets you know what he is doing during any time he spends working. I appreciate this very much and coupled with his "bedside manner" -he is by far the best Dentist I have seen.
Thank you for the excellent review Chris! Please keep referring more patients like you!
Always a satisfactory experience, though sometimes little painful-- not this time.
Thanks for the review Randy!
Everyone is wonderful and Dr. Jakubek is cute as a button!
Thank you for the great review Patricia!
wonderful, everyone is friendly and Dr. Jakubek is cute as a button!
thank you so very much for seeing me on such short notice and recommending that I get the tooth extracted immediately and seeing that the referenced doctor could see me. I am feeling much better and we will see you on the 14th for both of our appointments. the staff was wonderful and you all made us feel very welcome, especially on such short notice.
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Brennan, we look forward to taking care of you!
Dr Jakubek & his entire staff is great. Would not hisitate to recommend this practice, If one is searching for a dentist - contact Melise & get all your questions from procedures to insurance answered.
Thank you for the excellent review Kevin!
i've been with dr.j for 28 years.he is simply the best.
Thank you for the spectacular review Michael!
First cleaning in 9 years, it was what I expected needed to happen. The hygienist as delicate as should could be. The Doc gave excellent feedback on my teeth.
Thank you for the review Chris.
I have been a patient of Dr. Jakubek for several years. Over the years he has relocated and regardless of the commute time increasing I have not changed dentist. He is very technically proficient and he continues to educate himself with all of the latest developments in dentistry. I do not have strong teeth and have many crowns; he has implemented 3-D computer technology and is able to deliver a crown in one visit. He sincerely cares about his patients. The overall experience is pleasant because Dr. Jakubek's assistant, Michelle is very kind and makes certain you are comfortable; my hygienist, Karen has a great sense of humor and gently makes sure my teeth are cleaned and polished; and you are kindly greeted by Melice, who is the practice manager and is very knowledgeable in what your insurance covers. I really appreciate everyone being so awesome.
Thank you for the wonderful review Beverly! You are appreciated.
I love everyone at the office! Alsways have a great experience there! Also it never hurts! And I used to be scared to go to dentist not anymore!!!
Thank you Maureen, You're an awesome patient!
Dr Jakubek is an outstanding dentist. I have been his patient for over 20 years and I have never been disappointed with any of his work. He is a perfectionist and I truly appreciate that. He's the best.
Thank you for the kind review Renee!
Thank you Andy! It was great meeting you and your wife.
Best Dentist...amazing staff...you will love this practice!
Thank you for the excellent review Kay!
I was able to reschedule immediately after canceling my appointment.
Thank you for the review Michael.
Best dental experience ever, I have finally found a dentist that I trust.
As always, my experience was excellent from walking in the door to walking out. Everyone is a pleasure to deal with. Dr. J is an excellent dentist, good at dentistry but even better with just plain ole people skills. Goes slow, takes his time & is always making sure the patient is comfortable. I highly recommend him.
Dr. J is a wonderful doctor! If you are new to the area & in need of finding a good dentist, Dr. J is the one for you. He is gentle, slow, deliberate, compassionate & empathetic. Let's face it dentists get a bad rap. No one likes going to the dentist. Some of us are afraid of them or intimidated by them, especially the men, but Dr. J. understands the fears & is kind & gentle. I highly recommend him, you won't find anyone better. Not on;y is Dr. J that way but so is his staff. From the moment you walk through the door & are greeted to the hygenist cleaning your teeth, they are ALL wonderful to work with.
Thank you for the kind review Craig!
Loved the friendly, informative staff. Made my visit quick and pleasant. I don't have a single bad thing to say about my experience. I was greeted promptly and completely taken care of. All my questions were answered and billing was both concise, and easy to understand.
Thank you for the great review Nathaniel!
Awesome Staff, Dr Jakubek is by far the best Dentist that I have ever used! Two root canals within a months time and I had no pain!
Thank you for the awesome review Derrick!
Great job on my new bridge. Dr. Jakubek is a perfectionist. His work is present for the world to see when you smile. Very happy!
John that is a wonderful review! Thank you for sharing your positive experience!
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to take care of you and your family!
Always a GREAT experience. Karen is AWESOME and so caring! Doctor J. and all in the office are so efficient, honest and effective which is always appreciated!
Thank you for the excellent review Karen!
I so love the new confirmation/reminder of upcoming appointments via text message. Very easy and timely.
I am always pleased with the Dr. Jakubek and his staff. I love my hygenist. For me going to the dentist is easy and worry free. The office takes care of all the insurance hassle.
I am a long time customer and trust my dental health to Dr. Jakubek. I truly believe that dental health is a very important part of overall health and longevity.
Thank you for the wonderful review Christie!
Dr. Jakubek is the best dentist.
Thank you for the nice review Kitty!
I love Dr. Jakubek and his staff. He is straight forward and good at what he does! In my opinion, he is the best.
Thank you for the outstanding review Nayya! We appreciate great patients like you!
This group delivers outstanding professional service throughout the entire dental experience.
Thank you for the review Robert!
It was a regular dental cleaning and quick service.
I was pretty surprised at the apparent price, and by what my insurance may be allocating per the front desk, so I am having to get on the phone with Delta Dental this morning for quite some time to try to figure that out. Other than this however, everything was great. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Jakubek no doubt, to neighbors and friends, etc.. Fortunately, I was able to get in quickly too, since there was an emergency situation to be dealt with and he recognized the seriousness of the matter. Thank you so much, and I will be back, and will also be sending my husband as soon as he can come to terms with going to the dentist again soon too. I have no reservations in Dr. Jakubek's ability to do great work. The new crowns are beautiful too. Thank you so very much Dr. Jakubek, and have a fantastic day !!!
Thank you for the review Kate!
Thank you for the excellent review Sharon!
Dr. Jakubek is an excellent dentist. He is a perfectionist so he makes sure his work exceptional.
Thank you for the nice review Karen!
everyone is always extremely courteous and they are helpful in that they worked my mother in on a moments notice to take care of her.
Thank you for the review and for referring your Mom!
I had my second root canal done on December 17, 2014 . No pain at all today. Great customer service and Dr. Jakubek teaches his staff during the process. It was worth the 45 minute drive drone Northwest Charlotte!
Thank you for the review Derrick!
Excellent care from door to door!
Excellent visit as always just simply painless, enjoyed the conversation about Cam Newton and the panthers team with Dr. Jacubek.
Thank you Jay! You are a valued patient and all around great guy!
Dr Jakubek is an amazing Dentist and a very friendly one at that . It is always a pleasure to go to the Dentist when I go there . I love the fact that you can watch tv and get a cleaning . I will always recommend this office to friends .
Thank you for the excellent review Melissa!
Thanks for the review Doug!
My recent dental experience went extremely well. I had a root canal procedure and a permanent crown done all in one appointment, with minimal discomfort. The crown was produced perfectly with highly advanced technology. I would highly recommend Dr. Jakubek for dental work.
Thank you for the great review Thomas!
The entire staff is always professional, engaging, welcoming, and truly interested in your particular treatment. I have been a client for more than 15 years and would not go anywhere else.
Thank you for the many years of amazing dental care!!
Thanks for the review Jeff!
I am a well-seasoned medical practitioner and highly recommend this delightful and detail-oriented professional. I always thought I was extremely good with a needle before my experience but doctor was better and the novacaine needle was not felt in any way. Additionally, I never had a root canal before and had preconceived notions- after this experience I would accept doing again if required without trepidation! Kudos to you Dr Jacubek- we need more like you!!
Linda, Thank you for the excellent review!
I had missed my 6 month follow up last December, which of course took me out of the loop for continued follow up. We had been very distracted building our new home. Melise reached out to me to encourage my dental follow up, and I do not plan to let so much time pass this time. Thank you for your follow up. Catherine is the best hygienist, and Dr. Jakubek is a fantastic dentist. Thank you.
Thank you for the wonderful review Christine! We certainly appreciate patients like you!
Dr J and his staff are great. I h ave been going to him since 1986.
Thank you for the review Pardon!
Very pleased with entire experience!
Dr. J is always so accommodating. I was in for a cleaning visit and needed a small filling. I asked if he could do it while I was there since I had the time and that way I wouldn't have to come back and of course he said YES. He is always great to me.
Thank you for the nice review Mona!
Great service, courteous and nice people.
Great experience making me feel comfortable during a recent dental procedure.
Always prompt with appointments. Very friendly staff.
PS MY WIFE AND SON ARE ALSO PATIENTS.
Bill, Thank you for the wonderful review! We really appreciate patients like you too!
I've been there twice this month and Catherine is always so friendly and quick! On my second visit Michelle was waiting for me right when I walked in. Dr. Jakubek completed the entire appointment in about 40 minutes with ZERO pain or discomfort. I am still impressed how efficient everything was. Very happy with this office as my dentist!
Thank you for the nice review Robert!
Dr. J is an outstanding dentist and the dental team the best. Would not hesitate to recommend at all. Thanks.
Thank you for the kind review Glenn!
Good and experienced staff. Like it!
Thank you for the nice review Randy!
The office staff, dentist and Karen are such wonderful people!
Thank you for the nice review Denise!
Having a crown manufactured on site, in just one visit is terriffic!
Thank you for the review Tom!
Probably the best Dentist I have ever been to. He will be our family Dentist until he retires.
Thank you for the wonderful review Chris!
Fantastic. Dr. Jakubek and Karen the hygienist, are definitely not selling but serving. There's a dearth of their kind around.
A million thanks for getting me in for an appointment so quickly- especially since I'm a relatively new patient...... The work you did for me was awesome- thank you so much- glad I found you!
Thank you for the nice review Tracey!
I can't come that early on 4/15. Can I make it later or another day, later?
Thank you for the review, Brian!
Always provide a wonderful experience when I come in for a check up.
I have been seeing Dr. Jakubek for approximately 14 years now , and I myself was referred to him by a friend. He is a wonderful man, caring and very friendly. He and his office staff always taken the time to talk to me about any concerns with my teeth , as well as catching up with everyday life, and whats going on with me. I have never dreaded office visits or cleanings, not even root canals.! It's just another chance for me to catch up with old friends!!
Andrea, Thank you for the wonderful review! We appreciate you!
All the staff are very professional and do a wonderful job.
Thanks for the review Bill!
Thanks for the review Daniel!
The friendliest, most professional, and most comfortable dental office I have ever been to.
Thank you for the great review Gary!
I love coming here, it's so comfortable. I get here, chat with whoever is around, go back get my teeth cleaned. Practically fall asleep because she is so good and I trust her. Then the doctor comes in and checks things out. No cavities for me! I am so thankful a friend recommended Dr. J so many many years ago!
Christine, Thank you for the nice review! We appreciate you!
The staff are friendly and professional. The hygienists made you feel very comfortable while doing their task(s) successfully and without causing you any pain.
I am a new patient and am so delighted I found Dr Jakubek and his wonderful staff!!! I am absolutely amazed he could turn having a crown into a pleasant experience! I've had several crowns in the past at other practices & the experience was always a nightmare - the pain, the length of prep time, the repeated numbing, the nasty molding, and the required return visits - all combined to make me dread this one. I just can't believe how painless and quick the whole process was with Dr Jakubek, AND having the crown prepped, finished & installed at the end of ONE appointment was awesome!!! (no return visit, no temporary crown!) Everyone I have met: Dr Jakubek, Melise, Karen, Michelle - are so professional, yet kind and fun to be around. I can't believe I"m actually looking forward to my next dental visit!! Thank you!!!!
Wonderful staff and beautiful facilities/equipment. I am always treated in a timely manner, feel comfortable, and know I am getting quality care.
Thank you for the review Jessica!
I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Dr Jakubek and his staff. I always have a wonderful visit and have been a patient for about 25 years. They do a fabulous job and I have had everything done to perfection. Had my teeth cleaned yesterday and fell a sleep in the chair. Thats how gentle they are. I promise you won't be sorry if you choose to go there.
Thank you for the fantastic review Renee!
Dr. Jakubek and his staff are the best in town. They are gentle, attentive, polite, thorough, and very competent. I have been a patient for almost 30 years. I wouldn't go anywhere else.
Thank you for the review Larry!
Great office and Customer service.
Michael, Thank you for the nice review.
Thank you Rick, we appreciate good patients like you!
Wait time was very short. Staff is professional and courteous. Great experience.
Thank you for the review Jodie!
I have been a patient of Dr.Jakubek for many many years, even when he moved to the other side of town from me as he is the best dentist that I have ever had. I enjoy talking with Dr. Jakubek and his team during my visits. The office staff are prompt, professional and very friendly. I will continue to use him for my dental needs and would recommend this practice to my friends. Thanks Dr. J.
Dr. J and his staff are awesome!!!
Thank you for the review Lisa! You're pretty awesome yourself!
I was referred to Dr. Jakubek and my family and I could not have been more pleased! My children and I received excellent service by Dr. Jakubek and his entire staff. I had recent crown work done and was amazed at how fast and comfortable the whole process was while using the latest technology. I am very happy with the results of my treatment and will be recommending this practice for their commitment to providing excellent service in a warm and inviting environment.
Christy, Thank you for the wonderful review!
No extended waiting to be seen, thorough exam, in and out.
for over 20 years. Love them!
Thank you for the review Jakub!
I have been a patient of Dr.Jakubek for many years. This appointment, as all of my appointments went smoothly. The office staff were prompt and professional. I will continue to use him for my families dental needs and would recommend this practice to my friends and family.
Thank you for the great review Carol!
Entire staff is always pleasant and accomodating. Dr. Jakubek does excellent work and his office is state of the art.
Christina, Thanks for the great review!
This dentist is very friendly and knowledgable.Also had friendly staff.
Barbara-Thank you for the nice review. You are a great patient!
Great staff and quality care. Highly recommend!
Thank you for the review Julie! You're a great patient too.
The staff is always pleasant and professional. Dr. Jakubek is a very personable guy with great sense of humor. I have been coming to Dr. Jakubek for over 6 years. I had several fillings and a crown done by him. He does quality work and his practice is equipped with the latest technology. My crown was made there within 20 minutes by a 3D printer. The whole appointment, including the crown fitting and placement was less than 2 hours. No more multiple appointments and waiting for a crown to be made with a hole in your tooth for days! It may sound like an oxymoron, but he is a pain free dentist.
Robert, Thank you for the great review!
The staff at the dentist office is caring, and respectful of my needs. I recommend folks when they ask for a great dentist in the area.
My experience is always great at Dr. Jakubeks office. I am a long time patient at the office, over 19 years. My dental hygienist, Kathryn is excellent and always makes me feel at ease and does a great job.
I could do without all the reminders about my appointment though, one text or email or mail reminder is enough but I do not need all three. Thank you and keep up the great experience.
Thank you for the review Brandy! Our reminders are automated through Demand Force, I will fix it so that you will receive only text or email, not both!
Not much time spent with hygienist nor dentist for six month check-up.
efficient! I am grateful to be in such capable and excellent hands!
caring of you as an individual. Thank you!
Sharon, Thank you for the really nice review.
I just completed crown work in 2 hours on site Yea, the process was very simple and no pain. I travel from Virginia to Charlotte because I love my dentist Dr. Jacubek and I have been a loyal patient of his for the past 25 years. I grew up very uncomfortable going to the dentist although forced by my parents for good oral hygiene, DR. Jacubek makes you feel very comfortable and you cant feel the needle that he gives you, he is a master of no -pain.
James, Thank you for the wonderful review! We appreciate patients like you!
I have been going to Dr. Jacubek for 20+ years. Both he and his staff are always on time, knowledgeable, and caring. Estimates are always provided for the different treatment plans and are accurate. Hope Dr. J never retires!!!
Donna, You are a wonderful patient! Thank you for the review we really appreciate you.
This was my first visit since moving to the area and I was very pleased. The staff was very friendly and professional.
Thank you for the nice review and welcome to Charlotte!
My dental hygienist did a great job of cleaning my teeth and there were no problems during the check up.
Thank you for the review Rosemary! We appreciate wonderful patients like you.

Love everyone at Jakubek Dentistry! They always make my experience and my daughter's experience wonderful!
Simply the best. Still. Katherine did an amazing job of cleaning my teeth after a too long absence and Dr. J always does thorough and beautiful work.
Thank you for the nice review Sharon!
Karen is awesome and Dr. "J" and I have had a professional relationship for almost 20 years. I travel 50 miles one way just to have them as my dental office.
Thank you for the nice review Kathy Lee!
Always a pleasant experience .
Thank you for the review Melissa!
've been going to him for over 30 years.
I always am treated well at Dr. Jakubek's office. Karen, my hygienest is friendly and professional. Good people. Great service.
Thank you for the review Alvin. We'll be sure to pass this along to Karen!
Everything was great. My hygienist was very professional and personable. She was knowledgable as well.
Thank you for the review Julie.
My experience has always fantastic with Jakubek Dentistry. I've been a patient for 25 yrs. I am always 100% comfortable and would trust them with any work I need to have done. As a bonus, the office staff is super friendly and on top of everything!
Wonderful experience. The staff was very professional. Clean environment with little wait time. I am happy to have found a dentist that provides comfortable and efficient service.
Thank you for the review and welcome to Charlotte!
The whole staff were great.

Thank you for the nice review Chris!
Wonderful experience highly reccomend doctor Jakubek, he is a compassionate slow moving in a positive way doctor who takes care of his patient. My MANY thanks to Melise who works for Doctor Jakubek who convinced me he was a very good Doctor & the Doctor for me. Thank You Melise you were wonderful to work with thank you for all your help & assistance with the insurance & billing.
Always a great experience, friendly staff and very nice office.
Good overall and pleasant staff....thorough dental cleaning...doctor easy to talk with..
Thanks you for the kind review!
Always very friendly. Prompt service.
I was very reluctant & nervous to go to the dentist as I knew I needed some work done & needed a new dentist. I thumbed through the yellow pages to find another one close to me & called & spoke to Melise, their administration expert, who talked me into coming to Dr. Jakubek. It was all because of her customer service & people skills that I agreed to make an appointment. My experience was a great one for going to the dentist. He was very compassionate & gentle. I experienced little to no pain before during or after visit & my recovery time was quick. I highly recommend Dr. Jakubek to anyone in need of a new Dentist or needs to replace thrier current one. Excellect job & thank you Melise!
Craig, Thank you for the nice review! It was a pleasure to meet you and take care of you.
Very friendly staff. They ensure that you are comfortable and relaxed. Very knowledgeable and helpful. They will answer any and all questions without hesitation. Definitely a place would recommend.
Painless, professional and very caring.
If you are looking for a great dentist and a friendly dental office, look no further. Dr. J and his staff are great!
Dr. Jakubek has been my husband and my dentist since we moved to Charlotte in 1984. He is an excellent dentist and I would recommend him highly to anyone. All of the staff are very nice.
Thank you for the nice review Lois!
I received the personal attention one would hope for, from both the doctor and the staff.
Everyone there is very friendly and professional!
Growing up in the UK I was afraid of dentists. Yes, it's true what they say! And when I needed some dental work when I lived in NYC, the dentist there also caused me a lot of pain and discomfort, so visiting the dentist has never been one of my favorite things to do. I had a wisdom tooth that was causing a lot of pain and I called Dr Jakubek's office. Melise was very helpful and got me in that afternoon. I ended up needing 2 extractions and I was in and out within an hour and was able to return to work. There was no pain and very little discomfort and I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Jakubek again next week for an examination. I would definitely recommend Jakubek Dentistry. Dr Jakubek is very good, Melise is very sweet and helpful, and the assistants were also very helpful.
Jason Thank you for the great review!
You just can't pick a better dentist. Dr. Jakubek continuously attends seminars to keep up-to-date on dental technology and is gentle and patient. I live in Mt. Pleasant and drive a long distance, but I changed dentist's one time, and regretted it. The other dentist in Concord ruined my teeth because he wanted to practice periodontics and was not qualified. If there is something that Dr. Jakubek is not comfortable doing, he will give a referral to a specialist. I have had Dr. Jakubek as a dentist for over 15 years. Yesterday, I was worried about the weather, and Kathryn cleaned my teeth quickly, yet thoroughly, and I was out of there in no time. Melise, at the front desk, was so very nice and cordial and will put you at ease right away. I would highly recommend Dr. Jakubek and his crew to anyone!
Kathy you're the best! Thank you for the very nice review!
Love Dr Jakubek and his staff. I travel an hour to go to him.
Thank you for your loyalty Linda! We appreciate you.
Mallory, Thank you! You are also a great example of the perfect patient.
Excellent as always, professional and superb work!
Thank you for the review Scott!
Dr. and staff member came in on a day off to take care of my problem, greatly appreciated.
Thanks Mallory, we appreciate wonderful patients like you!
Thanks for the nice review Christopher!
The practice continues to be very professional and personal. Dr. Jakubek discusses in detail the procedure(s) involved in resolving any issues that need correction and will advise you of the downside of not having treatment done in a timely manner.
Thank you for the review Richard!
Always friendly and professional staff. Great job on my fillings and crown, Dr. Jakubek!
Thanks for the great review Robert, we appreciate patients like you!
Always a great experience! Everyone from start to finish is top notch!
Thanks for the wonderful review Alayna!
Was in and out in under 30 minutes. Extremely satisfied with entire staff.
Thank you for the review Doug!
My teeth have been cared for by Dr. Jakubek for 26 years now & I strongly recommend him to anyone seeking dental care. He cared for my parents, my brother; and now my husband & children have the same care with which I grew up receiving.
The staff is practically family & Dr. Jakubek makes sure to educate us on preventative care (as do the wonderful hygienists). When our teeth need additional care, Dr. Jakubek & his assistant provide us with exceptional care; allowing a comfortable and informative experience.
You really need to trust the people dealing with any medical need; and with this group you will find that trust.
Tiffany, Thank you for the wonderful review!
I've enjoyed the dental experience at Dr Jakubek's practice and continue to to use for my primary dental needs.
It was great to see you Joe, Welcome back to Charlotte and thanks for the review!
Very good customer service and the staff is always on time.
Thank you for the review Eddie!
Procedure went smoothly, no discomfort during the procedure.
I was very pleased with the level of patience and skill, Karen displayed which made the experience one the of the best I had. Karen is the best, I want to thank the whole staff for providing such excellent customer service. Thank you!
Thank you for the excellent review Herb! You are a great patient too.
Everyone was very professional and courteous. Love the leather chair and TV at eye level when I am getting my teeth cleaned...Nice Touch!! And the dental assistant that cleaned my teeth is such a joy to listen to and chat with. She takes your mind off of being, "AT The Dentist".
Thank you for the review Allenia!
Good first visit. As good as it gets when enduring a dental exam (not on top of my "love to do" list), or to say it another way, it was the most enjoyable dental office visit that we could have expected. Dr. Jakubek has a warm and confidence building "chair side manner". The receptionist was delightful, and the Hygenist was a pleasure to meet. Both my wife and I had a good experience.
Thanks for this review Debbie and Gene, We appreciate patients like you!
Staff is always friendly and accomodating. Have never experienced a wait time over 5 minutes. Dr. Jakubek is thorough and meticulous. Love that they have the ability to make crowns in house, reducing the number of days it usually takes to have a crown from 2 days to 1.
Catherine did a great job. Jakubek Dentistry is the best.
Thank you for the review! We'll make sure Catherine sees this review.
Outstanding as always!!! Dr. J extremely good and the staff the best. Always very friendly and helpful. Very flexible if an emergency comes up.
Dr. Jakubek has been taking care of me for 25 years. He has always been honest and provided the highest quality and painless care. He stays on the cutting edge of technology. He has always been able to work me in even on short notice in emergency situations. I recommend Dr. Jakubek to everyone.
Wow! Thank you Thomas for the great review.
Extremely efficient, accomodating, and friendly. Thorough service and follow up!
Thank you for the review Cheryl.
Always friendly, professional and thorough. Love this office!
Thank you for the review Shellie!
As always a wonderful experience! I had my teeth cleaned by Karen and Dr. J came in and gave them a seal of approval. Great visit, no cavities! Thanks for your attention to detail!
Thank you Daniel for the awesome review!
This is the most professiona, high tech and friendly place in Charlotte. I had bad luck with 6-7 dentists in my life and hate the sound of a drill and everything about the dental experience. Dr Jakubek and his staff make it easy for me and he's THE BEST. He's straight up and will tell you what is needed and always looking out for your best interest.
Thank you Amish! We appreciate you so much and its our honor to have you as a patient!!
Back in '87, I was sitting at my office desk reeling in pain desperately searching the yellow pages for emergency dental care when I came upon Doc's ad... "Cowards Welcome". I immediately called them and was told to come on over. I've been "coming on over" at least twice a year ever since.
Doc and all of his staff have been very good to me over the years. He knows that I am just as scared to sit in that chair now as I was in '87, and he always respects my fear. For convenience sake, I could easily find another dentist, but in my case Dr. Jakubek is worth the drive.
I just got one of those same-day crowns. The procedure was amazing to watch and pretty much painless.
Thank you Mr. Caldwell for your loyalty to us. We look forward to seeing you at every visit.
Dr Jakubek did an excellent job regarding some major dental work. His staff is very professional.
Thank you for the review Carrie!
ALWAYS RECEIVE EXCELLENT CARE & SERVICE AT JAKUBEK DENTISTRY. DR. JOE HAS TAKEN CARE OF ME FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS OR SO & I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY PLEASED WITH HIS WORK. I LOVE ALL OF THE GIRLS IN THE OFFICE & THEY ARE ALWAYS NICE & PROFESSIONAL. I WOULD ALWAYS RECOMMEND THIS OFFICE TO ANYONE THAT NEEDS DENTAL CARE OR SERVICE.
Thank you Luke for the great review!
Recently I had my teeth cleaned by Karen. She barely spoke to me during the entire cleaning. I left feeling unwelcome and unappreciated. I can get my teeth cleaned anywhere. My previous visits have always been enjoyable. Perhaps this was a one time thing and she was in a bad mood. If I decide to return for my next appointment I will be seeing a new hygienist.
I am truly sorry this happened. Please call and we can we schedule with our other hygienist. I can assure you that this will never happen again.
I've been going to Dr Jakubek for 25+ years since answering a yellowpage ad. The ad said, "We Cater to Cowards". It got my attention. He's never hurt me to this day.
I just had a crown put in using some new technology he has and is very proud of.
Dr. J is a fine dentist and I have no qualms about recommending him to others.
Thank you Carl for the great review!
When Dr. Jakubek moved his office to Rea Rd., I started going to another dentist that was much closer. BIG MISTAKE! I will gladly travel the distance and return to an excellent, trustworthy dentist. He keeps up with the latest and the greatest technology and will work with you and listen to your needs and concerns. Everyone in the office will make you feel right at ease, are very friendly, and rarely make you wait for your appointment. Highly recommend!!!
Thank you Kathy for the review!!
As an IT professional, I spend most of my day online, but I don't take the time to rate individual service unless significant (in either direction). I spent days researching South Charlotte Dentists looking for what could only be described as a miracle worker. I needed the combination of a highly skilled dentist with exceptional talent in the age old craft along with a perfectionist with access to all the very latest cosmetic advancements. From A to Z (i.e. amazing staff, low pain tolerance, judgement, aftercare, RESULTS), this is the place. What should have taken 2 months was done in a day. Just amazing. Although I sound like a spokesperson, you're not going to find a better solution unless you misplaced your jawbone somewhere (then call Dr. Bond first). Call Moose and get to the other side of your issue. I did and still can't believe what they were able to do.
Steve, you were amazing yesterday and we were so happy to see your face after your treatment was complete. You looked so happy and that will never be something we forget here. Your story begins your future. See you soon!
I am not a fan of going to the dentist, or any doctor really, but they make me feel comfortable. The dental hygienists are all sweet, kind, and gentle. Ashley and Dr Jakubek are great. They are wonderful about rescheduling, which I have to do often, sorry. They know your name when you call too. I moved a bit away, but there is no chance I would switch. And I love the email reminders about appointments.
Thank you Denise! We look forward to always making your experience with us a great one!
You guys all make going to the dentist a fun experience!
Thanks Jerry! Good to see you guys.
I always have a good experience with Dr Jakubek and his team.
The best there is. Hands down.
Thank you Steve for the great review!
The cleanings are my favourite! Catherine is excellent, and I always feel so good when I leave. Good check-up/check-in with Dr. Jakubek, too.
Thank you so much for taking the time to give us feedback with this review. I look forward to sharing this review with Dr J and Catherine!
I always have a great experience. The hygienists are friendly, thourough and gentle.
Thank you Stacey for the review!
everything was great. Everyone is very nice.
Thank you Pardon for the review.
I'm very pleased with the work done.
Thank you Mr. Vaca. We enjoy you and your wife as patients as well!
Great experience and the best fitting crowns I have ever had all in one visit. Thanks Doc and Ashley!
The staff is very friendly and professional. I was very impressed with the new technology being used and was able to get a crown in one visit.
Everything was great! In and out in a very timely manner after visiting with a very pleasant staff!
Thank you Peter for the review!
Dr. Jakubek has been my dentist for about 20 years and I've never been disappointed by the professionalism and kindness of his staff and the services provided by Dr. Jakubek.
I have been going to Dr. Jakubek for many years and I know he is an excellent dentist. He cares about your dental health and works with you to ensure that it is in top condition.
Thank you Kitty so much for your review!
I came in for a filling and walked out with a crown! As always, Dr. Jakubek is personable, informative and professional as is his staff. I was amazed that the process took only 1 1/2 hours instead of the usual 2 to 3 visits. Technology is wonderful but it still takes a knowing, caring person to make it happen. Thanks.
One appointment for a crown...and I got to see it being made...as usual Jakubek Dentistry is awesome!
Sandra, thank you! We are going to feature your review on our Facebook and Twitter pages!
I LOVE my dentist! I LOVE my hygienist! I LOVE my Ashley!
Wouldn't go anywhere else EVER!
Maxine, you are so sweet and are loved by us all too!
As always, everyone was great!
The entire staff at Dr. Jakubek's office is always friendly, efficient, and willing to do most anything to make a trip to the dentist's office a genuinely pleasant experience.
Thank you Vicki. We're going to feature your review on our "About Us" page at JakubekDentistry.com!
I recommend Jakubek Dentistry to anyone seeking exceptional dental care of the highest quality available. Having been a patient for decades I wouldn't consider going to anyone else. Dr. Jakubek is among the highest ranked professionals in the field. He and his staff are always responsive to occasional emergencies and follow up to be sure the patient is responding to treatment. Ashley is efficient, flexible, accomodating, pleasant and caring in scheduling services and providing access. Katherine is my hygenist of choice but I have never had a bad experience with anyone in the office. The office is extremely well equipped with the latest in technology offering an environment that is comfortable and soothing. Don't go anywhere else!
Thank you Judith. We've featured your review on our new website at www.jakubekdentistry.com. You can also find it on our Facebook and Twitter pages! We love our patients.
Dr Jakubek has been my dentist for somewhere around 30 years. Like others, our family first started seeing Dr. Jakubek when he was in a small building down in a gully on Albemarle Rd. And, like many we followed him up Albemarle Rd. to Democracy Drive and now on to Ballantyne. Obviously there is a reason and that is his excellent skills and the services his Practice offers to its patients.
Over the weekend I broke a crown and was in his office the day after I called him. Because of his state-of-the-art technology I was in and out in about 90n minutes complete with new crown custom designed and installed by Dr. Jakubek. During this visit it was apparent that he had a new Dental Assistant -- Michelle -- whom I feel is exceptional and talented as well. She seems to know how to work with Dr. Jakubek for optimal results and is highly attentive to your needs.
Of course, overall the staff continues to be top notch and highly responsive to the patient. Ashley, Jill of all trades, answered the phone when I first called and even knew who was calling and addressed me by my first name.
My highest recommendation for Dr. Jakubek and staff . You will surely be glad you visited!!
Thank you David! I will make sure the staff sees your kind review!
Had a monster of a toothache over holiday & Ashley got me into see Dr Jakubek at 0740. That's 10 mins after they open. I am writing this pain free thanks to all the staff.
We are glad you feel better. We are always here to help. Thank you for the review!
pleased with service, operation and facilities.
I lived in Charlotte back in the early 80's and found Dr. Jakubek when he was in a little building on Albemarle Rd. I followed him to his newer location further down the road when he moved shortly thereafter. I moved back to Mooresville in 1990 and decided to change dentists to make it easier since I had become a Mom of 3 kids. Bad decision! I went back, have followed him out to Ballantyne and will never leave again! He is worth the 45 min trip down and back and I am never dissappointed!
Wow Linda, thank you so much for the great review. We will continue to make your 45 minute drive worth every penny.
Prior to moving to Charlotte I had the same dentist, Dr. Wise in Colorado, for 24 years. My current Charlotte dentist is GREAT, but after meeting Dr. J and his staff through a family member I will be making a switch. I really like the vibe that Jakubek Dentistry has going on!
We look forward to serving you Robert! See you soon! Thanks for the AWESOME review.
We've gone to Dr. Jakubek for years. He's always been concerned with top quality work done as painlessly as possible. If he fixes a tooth you literally can't see where the break was before. Great, friendly staff works you in quickly for emergencies. I would give them more than 5 stars if that were an option!
Thank you for the flattering review Cindi! We love our patients.

Brought up in families with diverse musical tastes, Ed and James, now based in Bristol, both developed their passion for music through the traditional route of learning instruments at school including drums, piano and trumpet. That soon led to playing in bands, writing songs and eventually producing their own tracks.
Both musically advanced before their time, unknowingly the duo were two of a kind, with Ed experimenting using eJay and James familiarising himself with basic software to create electronic music.
Embracing that potential, they followed their chosen career path and played at every electronic music event that matters across Europe, Australia and New Zealand plus graced the hallowed Glastonbury Festival stages. They've already been featured on Never Say Die and UKF's mammoth Volume 3 compilation, and that's just the shape of things to come.
The distinctive sound they have created is driven by a blend of strong melodies and unmistakable hooks with trap 808s, unique drum work and gritty neurofunk reese basses. DISKORD's addictive high-energy style stands out from the crowd, and will satisfy even the most hardened bass junkie.


Whether you plan to use your attic as an extra bedroom, playroom, or storage space, you will be faced with what you want to use for your attic flooring. It is crucial that you choose the best type for your purposes, otherwise, you may find that the job needs to be redone or your floor does not hold up over time. Let's explore some of your attic flooring options and look at the pros and cons of them.
If you plan to use your attic for storage purposes, a plywood floor may be the best option for you. Plywood is durable and you want to choose a thick variety, so that you can load up weight onto the floor without the worry that it will come crashing down. You can choose to lay down the plywood and then place another flooring material on top of it such as wood. Plywood provides durability, but it does not look as nice as other options.
Carpet is a good choice for the attic if you plan to use it as a bedroom or a playroom. You should always place the carpet over a subfloor. You will enjoy that the carpet provides your feet with a soft place to land and the carpet helps to hold noises within the room. One of the downsides to carpet is that spills can stain it and water damage is always a concern.
Vinyl is a good option for your attic flooring, especially if you plan to use the space as a playroom. The vinyl is placed over top of a subfloor and is easy to maintain. If you spill something on it, the spill can be wiped away without any lasting damage. Vinyl is not as comfortable as carpet on the feet, but it does look nice.
Lastly, hardwood is a good choice for the attic if you plan to use the space as an office. You can choose from a variety of wood types to include oak, cherry, bamboo, and even cork. The option you choose will influence the look and sound within the room.
The best type of attic flooring is one that you enjoy and one that serves its purpose for you. If you are having trouble deciding, contact J. Design Group today and let our experts help!

Closing the Gaps: School Librarians and the What's Hot Report
by Judi Moreillon
| Feb 08, 2017
School librarians should not be surprised by two of the largest gaps identified by ILA's 2017 What's Hot in Literacy Report. These gaps present an opportunity for educators to work together to address both students' access to books and content and literacy in resource-limited settings.
The 2017 What's Hot survey responses were gathered from 1,600 respondents from 89 countries and territories. Using a Likert scale ranging from not at all hot/important to extremely hot/important, respondents identified gaps between what educators recognize as hot (or trendy) and what they believe should be hot (or more important). Two of the largest gaps in this year's survey should be of particular interest to administrators, school librarians, and their classroom teacher and specialist instructional partners.
Second largest gap: access to books and content
In the report summary, access to books and content was an area respondents thought should be more important. One way ILA literacy educators and leaders can think about addressing this gap is to better understand the role school librarians and school librarians play in providing access. Research shows that in schools with state-certified school librarians facilitating library services students' access to materials and their reading proficiency increases. In addition to classroom libraries, readers need well-stocked school libraries that provide students, educators, and families with the widest possible array of reading materials across content areas at all reading levels and in multiple formats.
Third largest gap: literacy in resource-limited settings
Equitable access for readers from all socioeconomic backgrounds is another area where school librarians and libraries can help close the gap. When schools and school districts make a commitment to hiring full-time state-certified school librarians and providing funding for school library collections, all students, including those in high-poverty and rural locations, can access resources and technology tools. In these schools, librarians partner with classroom teachers to provide equitable access to reading materials and coteach resource-rich literacy learning experiences.
Equity of opportunity
Literacy leaders have a shared responsibility and commitment to an equitable education for all students. We know access to resources increases learners' opportunities for choice, voice, and empowerment through literacy. In the United States, the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) contains specific language related to how school librarians and libraries ensure equitable access to resources for all students (ESSA, 2015, "Title IV, Part A").
If you are a U.S. classroom teacher, specialist, school administrator, or educational decision maker concerned about the quality of students' access to reading materials, please find out how you can ensure that school librarians' work is specified in your state- or district-level ESSA Plan. By incorporating language related to school librarians and libraries in ESSA, we can collaborate to close the gaps identified by the ILA survey and support all students and educators in having access to the print and electronic resources and the instructional support they need to succeed.

Reaching Children and Parents Through Storytelling
Computer Coding and Literacy: Librarians Lead the Connection
Sybil | Mar 03, 2017
Illinois schools have the same problems in regards to inequities in library services with better funded schools having more up-to-date materials and licensed school librarians. There is only one line item in the Illinois state budget for school libraries and it is a grant from the Secretary of State/State Librarian. The School District Library Grant is a per capita grant funded mainly from funds received by the Sec of State for fees received from entities registering with the state. There has been federal funding through very competitive Literacy grants through the Dept of Education. That has been zeroed out in the FY 16 budget. Senators Reed, Cochran, and Whitehouse have sponsored S. 312 to improve school libraries in the country. If school libraries are not included in ESEA, districts feel like they can be cut at will. This also means that students like me who do nto have access to lots of libraries and books, will have to look for essay writer so that they share their materials. NCLB said not a word about school libraries and the effect has been devastating across the country. Today's school library has evolved from books only. But the stereotypes remain stuck in the past. Students who do not have access to books at home or lack public libraries need school libraries.

MLB Superstar Suspended for Drug Violations
"I guess this gives an example to the kids what not to do."

NEW YORK (AP) -- The first star to fall in baseball's latest drug investigation is one of its biggest: Ryan Braun.
The 2011 National League MVP was suspended without pay for the rest of the season and the postseason Monday, the start of sanctions involving players reportedly tied to a Florida clinic accused of distributing performance-enhancing drugs.
The Milwaukee Brewers star accepted the 65-game ban, 15 games more than the one he avoided last year when an arbitrator overturned his positive test for elevated testosterone because the urine sample had been improperly handled.
"I am not perfect. I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions," he said in a statement.
Braun, injured Yankees star Alex Rodriguez and more than a dozen players were targeted by MLB following a report by Miami New Times in January that they had been connected with Biogenesis of America, a now-closed anti-aging clinic.
"For these guys still to be involved with this stuff just baffles me," Miami Marlins manager Mike Redmond said. "The education's there and everybody knows what you can and can't take. It baffles me that this continues to be a black cloud over the game. I know Major League Baseball's done a great job of cleaning up the game and the testing policy and all that. And it's working. But at the same time, too, it seems like we'll go through a lull and then, bam, here comes another guy that gets suspended. It's got to stop."
MLB Commissioner Bud Selig announced Braun's penalty, citing the outfielder for unspecified "violations" of both baseball's drug program and labor contract. Braun will miss the Milwaukee Brewers' final 65 games without pay, costing him about $3 million of his $8.5 million salary. With the Brewers in last place in the NL Central, they aren't likely to have any playoff games for him to miss.
"I wish to apologize to anyone I may have disappointed," Braun said. "I am glad to have this matter behind me once and for all, and I cannot wait to get back to the game I love."
Under the agreement reached by MLB and the players' association the specifics of Braun's admission were not made public.
A person familiar with the deal, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said 50 games of the penalty were connected to Biogenesis. The additional 15 games stemmed from Braun's actions during the grievance that overturned his positive test from October 2011. The suspension will count as a first violation of the drug program, the person said.
Union head Michael Weiner said last week that arbitration hearings for players contesting suspensions likely would not start until September, which would delay any penalty until next season. But he also indicated the union would urge players to make a deal and get a suspension over with if there was strong evidence of guilt.
"I am deeply gratified to see Ryan taking this bold step," Weiner said in a statement. "It vindicates the rights of all players under the joint drug program. It is good for the game that Ryan will return soon to continue his great work both on and off the field."

Braun's acceptance of the suspension marks a 180-degree turnaround from his defiant spring training news conference in Phoenix last year, after his 50-game ban was overturned.
"We won," he said then, "because the truth is on my side. The truth is always relevant, and at the end of the day, the truth prevailed."
The 29-year-old Braun was hitting .298 with nine homers and 38 RBIs this year, slowed by a thumb injury that limited him to one game between June 9 and Friday. He was at Miller Park before Monday's game against San Diego and addressed the Brewers, then left without speaking to reporters.
Brewers general manager Doug Melvin spoke with Braun but wouldn't divulge details of the discussion.
"I'm disappointed. He's a very important player to our organization and to the ballclub and to our performance on the field," Melvin said.
Braun met with MLB investigators in late June. Baseball's probe was boosted when Anthony Bosch, who ran Biogenesis, agreed last month to cooperate with the sport's investigators.
The suspension is the latest in a string of high-profile drug cases across sports. Cyclist Lance Armstrong, a seven-time Tour de France winner, ended years of denials in January, admitting he doped to win. Positive tests were disclosed this month involving sprinters Tyson Gay, Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson.
By serving the entire penalty this year, Braun gains a slight monetary advantage. His salary increases to $10 million next year, when a 65-game suspension would cost him about $500,000 more.
"We commend Ryan Braun for taking responsibility for his past actions," Rob Manfred, MLB's executive vice president for economics and league affairs, said in a statement. "We all agree that it is in the best interests of the game to resolve this matter. When Ryan returns, we look forward to him making positive contributions to Major League Baseball, both on and off the field."
Negotiations over penalties for other players haven't begun, according to a second person familiar with the probe, also speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized.
Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03 but has denied taking them since.
A three-time AL MVP, Rodriguez has been sidelined all season following January hip surgery and was hoping to be activated this week. A quadriceps injury developed while he played at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and caused him to remain on the disabled list. He is not expected at the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, Fla., until Wednesday.
Braun became the latest star tripped up by baseball's drug rules.
The sport was criticized for allowing bulked up sluggers to set power records in the 1990s and only started testing in 2003. Since then, testing and penalties have become more stringent and last year San Francisco's Melky Cabrera was suspended for 50 games, just weeks after he was voted MVP of the All-Star game.
Four All-Stars this year have been linked in media reports to Biogenesis: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera, Oakland pitcher Bartolo Colon and Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta.
Other players reportedly tied to Biogenesis include Cabrera, now with the Toronto Blue Jays, Yankees catcher Francisco Cervelli and Seattle catcher Jesus Montero.
"I guess this gives an example to the kids what not to do," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said.

Q: RS 2016 Unable to use Expression to filter in bar chart I am using Reporting Services 2016. I have 6 charts that I need to only show the top 10 results. Currently, if the report only returns a value for 9 of the category groups, the report shows all of the category groups (values on x-axis), instead of the top 10. (see image below)
I understand why this is happening but am looking for a work around, or if this is going to be correct in a future release.

Also, if I try to use an expression to create a calculated field to flag which results to show if there are less than 10 that have a value. I get an error returned saying that aggregates cannot be used in filters.

A: The reason that you have so many bars in not because SSRS doesn't filter them out, it's because they are all tied for the 10th spot with zero value and SSRS TOP 10 will always show all ties for 10th place.
You need to implement a tiebreaker condition in your expression based on another value or additionally add another filter which removes zero values from your chart.
