I really liked my visit to 1st Family Dental of Little Village. Everyone was nice. I was impressed on how they took X-rays. The dentist really seem concerned about his patient’s teeth. I can’t wait until my next appointment. Also the fact that I didn’t wait long. I was in and out in about an hour.

We had an amazing experience with Dr. Velano. He is extremely efficient at what he does. My husband has had many bad experiences with deep cleanings and Dr. Velano made sure it was quick and not nearly as painful. We will definitely be going back to him and will recommend him to friends and family. Also assistant Rick is very friendly!
