I'm so grateful for your dedication to your patient's care, listening to concerns/fears and your upmost professionalism.  For me, a very dire situation turned into to an experience that is providing me with quality of life improvements  through the highest level of dental procedures provided by Dr Olaru and his staff.

Do your research!  Dr Olaru and his team (Bailey and Nissa) are the best you will find.  Hands down!  I have been in the dentist and oral surgeons chair many times throughout my life, starting with an accident I had when I was in fourth grade. Since then, I have had 3 front implants, gum grafts, root canals, teeth extractions, caps and much drilling.  My mouth needed expert care with someone I could trust to be honest with me about what I needed.  I had several consultations prior to going to Mountainside Oral.  All of them said they would do whatever I wanted and provided me with an estimate of cost and zero education and consultation about the procedure or my specific concerns. When I first went to visit Dr. Olaru he thoroughly examined my mouth, took extensive pictures and X-rays.  He consulted with a highly educated surgeon in California and he took his time to discuss my specific concerns and options.  He showed me on a TV screen as he explained everything thoroughly. I knew after our meeting that I wanted him to be the one working in my mouth. My case was complicated and needed special care from someone who had integrity and would provide top quality!  For over a year he worked on my mouth and he always made me feel secure and confidant.  His entire team has been so nice, I actually liked going in for a visit.  They did not hurry the procedure, the concern was longevity, assuring everything was secure and cosmetically uniform! I have 4 prosthetics, upper and lower back quadrant.  I can eat anything I want now!  They now feel like my own teeth.  I am very happy with my entire experience and am so glad I chose Dr. Olaru and his team!  Your mouth and teeth are so important to your health and confidence!  Mountainside Oral listens to your needs and gives you top quality! Choose Dr. Olaru and you will not be disappointed.  Don't waste your time with the surgeons or cooperate cash cows that tell you what you want to hear.  When you choose Olaru and his team, you choose the best and they treat you like gold!  Bailey and Nissa are wonderful additions to the team! I love them!  (by the way ...I am a tough critic!)

My experience at Mountainside was excellent! Coeur d’Alene is lucky to have Dr Olaru! He explains everything well, made me comfortable for my procedure, was gentle and caring and even followed up to make sure I was doing alright the following day! Truly a great team at Mountainside.

I have complete confidence in Dr. Olaru . He is highly skilled and does beautiful work. I enjoy going to his office because it is such a positive atmosphere. I had a relatively new technique done on my receding gums and my teeth look wonderful. Dr Olaru is the best!

I recently had an exceptional experience at Mountainside Oral Care, and I can’t recommend them highly enough! From the moment I walked in, Bailey, Nissa, and Dr. Olaru made me feel completely at ease. They took the time to thoroughly answer all my questions, ensuring I felt confident and informed before my procedure. The surgery itself was a breeze, thanks to Dr. Olaru’s expertise and the team’s seamless coordination. I was amazed at how little pain I experienced in the days following—practically none! The post-op care was outstanding, with the team checking in and providing clear, supportive guidance every step of the way. Their bedside manner is truly top-notch, blending professionalism with genuine warmth. A surprising bonus was the weight loss! After four weeks of blended food, I shed 13 pounds and feel like I’m glowing. It’s been a hidden gem of this journey, and I couldn’t be happier with how I look and feel. Mountainside Oral Care is a phenomenal practice, and Bailey, Nissa, and Dr. Olaru are an incredible team. If I could give them 10 stars, I would! I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone seeking exceptional oral care.

I would  like to provide a higher rating than just 5 stars. Dr. Olaru earns it every time I am in his office. He is the most competent and compassionate Dentist/Oral surgeon I have ever had work on my teeth. My past experience with my first implant was painful and never completed correctly. I moved to CDA area dreading having to find a new dentist. Dr . Orlaru became my choice in dentistry by recommendation. Since that time in 2017 he has fixed and completed my old implant, and provided me with a second implant  pain free with the latest procedures and techniques. I am grateful to Dr Olaru for his expertise and his kind and amazing staff…. This business is amazing!!!! Rebecca Criswell

I have been going to Dr. Olaru since 2017.  In 2018 I had gum graft surgery for eight teeth on my lower left side.  The most painful part was the blood draw.  After the surgery, over the next week, there was only mild discomfort.  I called the office on July 4th because a stitch broke.  I did not leave a message, but Dr. Olaru called me back from the caller ID.  He was in the office and asked me to come by just to be safe.  There were no issues at all with the graft and it continues to be a great success; even six years after the surgery. You will not find a more caring and dedicated staff. They truly treat you like family!

Dr. Olaru at Mountainside Oral Care, implantology is one of the most professional, kind, caring persons I’ve ever had the privilege of meeting!  I was in despaired having been told by 3 dentists my tooth #28, holding a bridge in place had to be extracted immediately. Instead of talking me into 2 implants, I could not afford, he agreed it was possible to save it! He and his lovely assistant were so kind and very generous with their time. He said he knew a Dr at Northwest Endodontics that was the very Best.. he personally walked me upstairs to introduce me! She is a miracle worker! Devised an intensely complicated surgical procedure and, SAVED the essential tooth! NO PAIN, Short recovery!  I’m SO Grateful for his kindness and professionalism!!!

If you’re tired of the “corporate” type dental care businesses and are looking for an alternative, then Mountainside is the place you need!! From the moment you book your appointment and from the receptionist to the Doctor, this staff cares about your health and your experience! I’ve had dental care from some “big” name brands. I ended up spending MORE money and received HORRIBLE care/results with them because they simply don’t care! You will NOT be disappointed with your care and results from Mountainside. I HATE writing business reviews, but I’m really excited to write this one! In today’s world, it is SOOO hard to get this quality of service and care! Not to mention, the prices at Mountainside were far better than the last two “cheaper” corporate dentists that I’ve been to! I really can’t say enough to express my gratitude to this staff. Not only have they surpassed my expectations, but I will refer any person I know, family or otherwise, to this business!! Thank you, Mountainside!!!

Hi My Name is Phyllis Norton.  I recently had an excellent experience with a procedure performed by Dr. Olaru.  Not only were they able to get me in quickly as I was in pain but it was a painless procedure.  Two of my teeth were extracted quickly and painlessly.  I would highly recommend and refer anyone needing oral surgery or any dental procedure to Mountainside.

If you are looking for a great oral surgeon, this place and staff are awesome and they have a family type vibe which I loved! Dr. Olaru is a fantastic oral surgeon. He truly does amazing work and best of all he cares about his patients. My experience here went smoothly from start to finish. I wouldn't ever recommend another surgeon!! I have more work I want done and will for sure be coming back!

My 12 year old son needed some specialty work that the general dentist he was seeing couldn’t complete.  We had trouble getting anyone to allow us to make an appointment with them because of Medicaid.  My son was in some pain and Dr Olaru went out of his way to get him in to see what was going on.  He and his staff were very attentive and gave very personal care and attention to us and gave us honest feedback.  My husband and I were so impressed with his concern for our son that we decided to pay for him to do it instead of having Medicaid dictate where he went.  I highly recommend this office!  Refreshing having a dentist take more personal interest in your care!

Claire was absolutely fantastic.  Very caring and accommodating.  We were visiting the resort on vacation and my wife had a major issue with a previous root canal.  Claire and Dr. Olaru responded immediately (he came in at a moment's notice on his day off) to help.  Thanks to their quick help, we were able to enjoy the remainder of our time in CDA.  Many thanks again to Claire and Dr. Olaru for saving the day!!!

Dr. Olaru and his team are professional, honest, and patient. Over the past three years of visiting, I have had multiple cavities, and Dr. Olaru has always been very kind to help me fill them and take really good care of my teeth. I highly recommend Mountainside Oral Care, and especially Dr. Olaru for anyone seeking professional dental care.

Professional and friendly office staff. Excellent work by dr. Olaru. All the recent implants I received have incorporated and were ready for the “healing caps”. Soon to return to have the crowns applied. Very happy.
