Why West Bloomfield families choose Lakes

West Bloomfield parents have no shortage of dental offices to pick from, which makes it telling how many choose a specialist for their kids and stay. Dr. Naila Farooq has treated children and only children since 1999, so a nervous first-timer gets a calm, unhurried visit and a plan built around the least-invasive option.

The kids in her chair come up through Doherty Elementary, Abbott Middle School, and the forest green of the West Bloomfield High School Lakers, many of them her patients from the very start. When families have every option and keep coming back, that says more than any pitch could.

“They are always great with our kids and visits are quick. Easy to schedule both kids together for their cleanings and the staff always comes out after to explain the visit and if anything needed. Would highly recommend for any pediatric dentist needs.”

“I’ve been bringing my kids here for the past 8-9 years. It’s always bright & clean, and staff are very friendly and professional. My kids especially love their “goodie” bags, which have included bouncy balls and adorable rings. I don’t trust any other dentist with my kids. It’s been a great experience for our family and now they even pretend to be the dentist at home.”

Have an emergency?

If your child is struggling to breathe or swallow, or has a head injury, call 911 first. For a dental emergency that is not life-threatening, such as a knocked-out tooth, a broken tooth, dental swelling, or pain that will not settle, call our emergency line, day or night. We would rather tell you it can wait than have you sit on it over a weekend.
