I’ve been going to this dental office since I was a kid, and Dr. Slaughter has done a great job preserving the history and feel of the place. Having a local resident own and run the practice makes a difference, and you can feel that in how they treat their patients and the community. The front staff, Jody and Leslie, are warm, welcoming, and make everything easy from the moment you walk in. It never feels rushed or transactional, which is rare these days. And honestly, no visit is complete without seeing Minnie Pearl, the Lakewood family mascot dog and the true star of the office. She brings a little personality and comfort that you just don’t find at most places. What I appreciate most is that it hasn’t turned into one of those impersonal, corporate-feeling offices. They’ve done a great job keeping that balance of modern care while holding onto the trust and familiarity that’s been there for years. I’m glad to still be coming here after all this time.
I had a great experience at this dental office for my first visit. Jody was incredibly helpful and made the appointment booking process easy and smooth. Alondra, the dental hygienist, did an excellent job—I left feeling confident, comfortable, and well taken care of. Dr. Farmer was very informative, took the time to answer all of my questions, and made sure I understood everything clearly. Overall, a great experience. Highly recommend!

They couldn’t be any nicer! I told my husband I couldn’t believe I was saying it, but going to the dentist is fun! As a first-time patient, I had already talked to Jody to book the appointment and she lived up to her totally personable first impression. Alexa, my hygienist, was kind and extremely professional and made the time fly by. Of course, the icing on the cake was Miss Minnie Pearl, the best office mascot EVER! I highly recommend Lakewood Family Dental Care.
We absolutely love the care and services we receive at Lakewood Family Dental. It was daughter’s first filling and Jodie made sure Minnie Pearl was ready to help ease my daughter’s anxiety. Dr. Slaughter and his assistant Norma are always very professional and make you feel at ease, both are very thorough and great bedside manner. Great feeling all around soon as you walk in the door.
I am a new client here I’ve lived in Lakewood for 9 years. The entire staff have been so great so far! Plus as a bonus my new doc’s last name is Slaughter. If that isn’t a win right. But in all seriousness I highly recommend giving them a shot. Melissa has been taking care of me over there on my last few visits and she’s also amazing. I also don’t ever leave reviews but when I do it’s only when something is really great and they are and deserve this and more. Thank you
