Been going to Dr. Lake's for 10 years now and honestly, every visit is great. He never pushes unnecessary work—just gives you the info and lets you decide. Prices are fair too. The cleaning staff is super thorough and the front desk is always friendly. Whole family feels the same. If you're looking for a dentist in Yucca Valley who actually cares, this is the place.

One of the best Dentists I have ever seen, I needed several extractions, had an infection going on, he was able to get the teeth out and got me on meds to kill the infection. My last dentist hurt me and made me not want to give him a 2nd chance to hurt me. I highly recommend Dr Lake. His staff is top notch and friendly. I will return for all my dental needs to Desert Hills Dentistry!

Dr. Lake is literally the only dentist who actively listens to my concerns and helped me plan out the best way to deal with them. Most dentists jump right to the most expensive, lazy fix with no care of how that might work out down the road for the patient. Dr Lake is just a really genuinely good person and Im happy to call him my dentist.

At 70, I've had a lot of dentists, and Dr. Lake is one of the best. He always goes for the least expensive option that still works great. His staff is awesome too—Kayla is my favorite hygienist. Been a patient for years and wouldn't go anywhere else in Yucca Valley.

Amazing dentist. Came in for an emergency crown repair. Dr. Lake is kind, compassionate and takes time to explain things to patients. I usually dislike dentists because I know my mouth is a disaster, but he does not make you feel bad. Can't wait for future visits to improve my dental health. Before and after photos of my chipped tooth. The color matching is remarkable.

Bar none, the best dental practice I've had the pleasure of visiting. Each and every one is fully competent and highly professional, up on the latest in dentistry; communicating what's diagnosed and what procedures will be required, and always being concerned with patient pain and comfortability level. Feel like I'm with a group of old friends at each visit. Dr. Lake, Janeen, Gina are the best!
