Patient Reviews
Meet Your Doctor
I value the personal interaction and the individuality of each and every one of my patients.
Me At A Glance:
Raised in Forest Hills, he is a long time resident of West Michigan. While attending Lyman Briggs Residential College at Michigan State University, he earned his Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Biology. Dr. Yared received his doctorate from the University of Michigan Dental School in 2003, all the while maintaining his Spartan allegiance.
We asked Dr. Yared a few questions so you can get to know him a little better!
“It really comes down to my passion for helping others and building relationships with the community, which dentistry allows me to do! I just really love the personal interaction, the individuality of each patient, and the progressive science of my chosen profession.”
“For me it’s definitely making my patients feel comfortable with the power of laughter! I find humor is a great way to break the ice, get to know my patients, and help change their view of dentistry.”
“I absolutely love providing my patients with Invisalign treatment, it is truly life changing and I am just lucky to have a front row seat. There is nothing better than seeing the smiles of joy and confidence after treatment!”
“Jim Morrison, Richard Wagner, and Layne Staley”
“Godfather, Goodfellas, and Midnight Run”
I enjoy when patients are part of the treatment planning process and understand the role they play in the direction we take it.
Dr. Madala grew up in Naperville, IL. She received her undergraduate degree from Benedictine University and completed her doctorate at the University of Illinois at Chicago. We asked Dr. Madala a few questions so you can get to know her a little better!

Drawing on my love for science and healthcare, I aim to restore my patients' overall oral health and function, focusing on the technical and surgical aspects of Periodontics.
Meet Dr. Ashleigh Turows, our dedicated Periodontal Specialist! Her strong commitment to science, healthcare, and her patients’ well-being truly shines in her care. She’s found her dream job in the super technical and surgical world of Periodontics. Early on, she was inspired to dedicate her life to making your smile the best it can be, with a philosophy that puts you first. She believes in keeping you comfortable, looking at your health as a whole, and always reminding you how important it is to keep those pearly whites clean!
Dr. Turows started her journey with a degree in Biomedical Sciences from Grand Valley State University, before joining the proud ranks of University of Michigan School of Dentistry graduates. She dove deeper into the world of Periodontics with a residency at the University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry. A big believer in always learning, she’s an active member of dental organizations like:
Dr. Turows uses all her skills and training to give you the treatment you need and help improve your overall health. She loves staying on top of all the latest in dental technologies and techniques, so you’re always getting the most up-to-date care. Her success stories, from saving failing implants to perfecting a beautiful smile, show just how dedicated she is to making sure her patients get the best results.
Alongside her impressive professional accomplishments, Dr. Turows shines with a dedication that goes far beyond dentistry. As a proud veteran of the United States Army, the tenacity and grit she showcased during her service are a huge part of who she is. These traits not only form the heart of her personal values but also shape her professional style, earning her respect and recognition in her field.
But her work doesn’t stop at the office doors! Dr. Turows uses her skills to give back to her community. She’s an active member of the Michigan Mortuary Response Team and contributes to local outreach clinics. She’s also put her vast dental knowledge to good use, training dental assistants as part of a Red Cross initiative, and was the guiding force as the Infection Control Officer for the dental community in Fort Sill, OK. These roles highlight her dedication to the highest safety and cleanliness standards in dentistry, all while serving her community.
In her personal life, Dr. Turows cherishes moments with her six-year-old son, Dylan, when she’s not dedicating time to her patients or the community. She is a sports enthusiast (Go Blue!) who enjoys the great outdoors and values quality time with family and friends.
We’d love for you to meet Dr. Turows, a Periodontal Specialist serving the greater West Michigan area, and witness firsthand the transformative dental care she provides. From gum disease treatment to dental implants, her knowledge and skills cater to the specific needs of our local community. Feel free to give our friendly team a call to learn more!
I believe great dentistry is a blend of precision and artistry, transforming not just smiles but lives through thoughtful, personalized care.
Dr. Lawrence Aitken is all about blending precision with artistry to create smiles that look as good as they feel. With an international background in restorative dentistry, he brings a world-class touch to every patient he treats. His journey started at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry, followed by earning a Master’s in Fixed Prosthodontics from the University of Michigan—an experience that deepened his expertise and love for complex dental restoration.
Dr. Aitken has always been drawn to the technical and aesthetic side of dentistry. He built a thriving specialty practice in London from the ground up, transforming a small start-up into a busy restorative center that attracted patients from around the world—including Hong Kong, France, and Spain. Whether they were from the music, sports, finance, or film industries, or simply local residents, they all had one thing in common: a desire for great dentistry.
Whether it’s complex dental reconstructions or aesthetic enhancements, Dr. Aitken is passionate about helping patients regain confidence in their smiles.
Beyond clinical work, he’s contributed to the field as a lecturer in restorative dentistry and has been published in leading dental journals. He’s also been actively involved in professional organizations such as the American Dental Association and the American College of Prosthodontists.
For Dr. Aitken, dentistry is about more than just teeth—it’s about people. He takes the time to understand each patient’s goals, ensuring treatments are tailored for the best results. He believes great dentistry is a partnership, where patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their treatment. His favorite cases? The ones that transform not just smiles but lives, whether through aesthetic work or complex full-mouth rehabilitation.
When he’s not perfecting smiles, you’ll likely find Dr. Aitken on a run—he’s an avid marathoner with a personal best of 3 hours and 9 minutes. He runs five times a week and loves ending the day with a good run (preferably followed by a cappuccino and a great book).
A lifelong lover of adventure, he enjoys skiing in the winter and sailing in the summer. He’s also a collector of stamps, antique books, and art. Originally from the UK, Dr. Aitken now calls Ada, Michigan, home, where he lives with his wife.
Dr. Aitken’s unique blend of experience, technical expertise, and genuine care makes him a trusted provider for patients looking for top-tier restorative and aesthetic dentistry.
