Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent Care
Dr. Lugakingira provides exceptional care. Both of my children had their wisdom teeth removed by him in an efficient outpatient surgery. Dr. Luga and his staff made the process easy from the first phone call to the follow up phone call after the surgery to make sure we were healing well. One of the surgeries was not simple, and the patient was not without needs, and their team was outstanding in providing the needed care! The amount of concern, care, and professionalism in this office and from Dr. Luga himself is refreshing in today's world. We are blessed to have him in Fort Wayne!!!

Dr. Luga is the best!
Dr. Luga performed an implant surgery on a bottom molar of mine that had broken off. In fact, this is the FOURTH time I’ve needed an implant! From the deft way he numbed me up, through the tooth removal and then the post implant procedure, Dr Luga works quickly and expertly. He and his nurses kept me comfortable and informed throughout the hour long procedure. Look no further, Dr. Luga is the very best!

Dr. Mulokozi Lugakingira
Dr Lugakingira is excellent as well as his entire team. He thoroughly explained the details for my surgery, was patient and answered my questions. After my surgery he sat down with my husband to review the surgery and gave him instructions for my care before we went home. His team was pleasant and very professional. They also gave me thorough information and answered my questions. They were responsive when I called with questions after my surgery. I had a molar extraction and sinus augmentation with bone graft to prepare for implants.

Best Experience Ever!!!
There is not one negative thing to say about Dr. Luga and his entire team. From my very first appointment to create my care plan right down to my appointment to have all of my upper teeth removed, Dr. Luga and his staff made me feel confident that I was making the right choice regarding the recommendation of my Dentist. They listened to my story, made a plan and executed it flawlessly.

Great Doctor
Dr. Luga explained everything perfectly to us that he needed to do for my sons oral surgery. He made sure my son had what he needed to help him with comfort after his surgery. The staff is friendly and makes sure you have everything you need. Dr. Luga sends out pre made videos explaining what the patient will need to do to help with comfort. Everyone is very professional, helpful, and friendly.

Efficient, friendly, Skilled surgeon
Dr. Luga is always willing to answer any and all questions. He has great patience and does not rush the process. He has been phenomenal in easing my son's anxieties about surgery. He ensures you are comfortable before moving forward with planning and scheduling and certainly before surgery. I'm a physician as well and have already referred to him due to my confidence in his care. Words of advice for anyone reading this review, if a surgeon does not spend the time necessary to answer your questions and ensure you are ready to move forward, find another surgeon.

He's Really Good
He was super nice and was super comforting. I don't even remember the surgery. I was knocked out the whole time but I remember when I woke up I felt very comfortable, well I was in pain but the chair was very nice and I felt soothed by my environment.

Excellent Care and very friendly
Dr Luga and his staff provide knowledgeable and friendly care. My case is a difficult one. He took the time to explain all the procedures and answer any questions. I get nervous when it comes to oral surgery but he and his staff eased me through everything. The aftercare is excellent. They called me the day after to check on me and again answered all my questions. I have no fear of going back to his care at all. In my opinion he is the best in the field as are all his staff.

Excellence personified!
My recent visit for an extraction and implant is about my 8th one with Dr. Lugakingira. I have had three implants put in by two other doctors. He is just flat out the best. He is a wonderful person, explains things well and his work is marvelous. I have experienced less pain and less bleeding than with the other doctors who did my implants. I do not hesitate to go to him when I need an implant. He is very busy, so sometimes it take awhile to get in to see him. HE IS WORTH THE WAIT!!!!

Dr. Luga and his team = A+
Dr. Luga and his team were amazing. I had a tooth extraction and bone graft and the process was smooth and pain free. I’ve heard Dr. Luga is the best in the area and on top of the obvious knowledge and competence, he is very personable and always has a smile on his face. Lisa was so comforting and calmed all my nerves from start to finish. I won’t go anywhere else. My only complaint would be the out-of-pocket cost in my situation but if that’s the price for exceptional care I guess it’s the price I will pay!!!

Had a failed implant removed. Visit was smooth and mostly pain free. But implant failure was not the fault of the doctor. When I had the implant inserted, I was not yet aware I was diabetic. Dr. Luga understood and was patient with me.

Wisdom teeth removal
Dr. Luga and his team went above and beyond to accommodate my daughter with a health issue. Today when they removed her wisdom teeth, Dr. Luigi came out to the waiting room to say hi and gave me an update before he started the extraction. His staff texted me a YouTube video that he put together with specific instructions for home post surgery. Talk about using technology to its fullest! Very innovative! I would highly recommend this practice to all my friends and family!

Great Oral Surgeon!
Perfect from the initial plan to the conclusion of a difficult implant and bone graft. It was definitely well worth the cost for the initial scan (which my insurance provider did not pay). Very impressive equipment and made me feel comfortable about making the treatment plan with Dr. Luga. Highly recommend Dr. Luga for oral surgery. He is kind and caring. His staff is awesome as well and very caring for my well being.
