About Us
Located conveniently in Louisville's East End at the Dorsey Plaza shopping center (intersection of Shelbyville Rd. and Dorsey Ln), Dorsey Family Dental has proudly been serving the community for 28 years under the care of Dr. Ray Elliotte. Having gone into retirement, Dr. Elliotte passed the torch to Dr. Tina Lefta who became the owner of the practice in January 2017. In September 2019 Dr. Lefta welcomed all patients of Dr. Pooja Reddy (previously served by Dr. Paul Scott). Shortly after this expansion, Dr. Ikram joined Dorsey Family Dental as an associate in October 2019. Together they are continuing the tradition of providing exceptional dental care in a convenient location, comfortable and safe environment.
Come check out our recently renovated office! You will love the relaxing atmosphere, welcoming beach decor and our Certified Clean Air office!
Testimonials
Dr. Lefta & team are great, especially during this unique COVID time. They are on-time, considerate, very thorough and make the experience a pleasant one

Love Dr. Lefta & Dr. Ikram. The new procedures definitely made me feel safe and assured as they were sanitizing everything, not leaving the room and had all the proper gear.

On 5/19/2020, I went to Dorsey Family Dental to pick up my night guard and have it fitted. I waited in my car until they were ready for me. While in the office and dental chair, I noticed how clean everything was. All of the staff had on PPE. I felt very comfortable and confident that I was in a healthy, sterile environment. Dr. Lefta and the staff were very welcoming. Thank you to Dr. Ikram and Lorrie for making sure my night guard fit perfectly.

I had been researching a procedure that I was wanting done for a couple of years now. For some reason, while looking it up again recently, this wonderful place popped up! For two years, I hadn’t been able to find anyone that did this procedure! So I immediately jumped on my email to contact the office! I received an e-mail the same morning! Before I knew it, I also had an appointment set up! Now, I don’t know about you, but I’m kinda Bluh about dentist and all those associated! Before my appointment, I received an email and a questionnaire to follow the COVID procedures! From the moment I walked into the office, after they called to let me know a room was ready, I felt the most comfortable I had ever felt at a dental office! I was given a binder on the work that was done that I was looking into. From the moment Dr Lefta walked in the office, she was judders amazing! We talked first, then she looked! She reassured me that everything wasn’t as bad as I thought it was. She suggested other options that would work best for me! She actually showed me everything that she was talking about! I held a mirror while she was examining the trouble area! No one else had ever done that! I actually just received an email checking up on things! I also just asked Dr Lefta to be my permanent dentist! She is the first person that I feel completely comfortable with, and I trust her with my smile!! She made the comment that she loves being a dentist! She showed me that was a true statement from the minute she walked in and introduced herself!!

5 stars- "Dr. Lefta and her entire staff are just fabulous. I’ve been seeing them myself for a while now and have always been impressed. I took my 3 year old son in for his first visit a few days ago and they blew me away with how wonderful they were with him. They were patient and kind and, because of that, he had a great time and is excited to return in 6 months!"
Rachel H.
I have never had a positive experience at the dentist, until today. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Lefta and her entire staff. You can tell they each have a passion for helping people and that is evident in how they care for their patients. I can honestly say that I never thought I could feel at peace in a dentist chair, but that happened today! Thanks again for helping me! I look forward to my next visit and I didn't think I would ever hear myself say that. If anyone needs an awesome dentist please visit Dr. Lefta!! Blessings, Jason C

5 stars- "Dr. Lefta is the best dentist I have ever met. I was a work-in appointment on a time constraint, as I'm getting braces in a few weeks and needed some cavities fixed. Her and her assistant saw me outside of regular patient hours, and spent the entire day doing everything I needed done. She is kind, compassionate, and takes great pride in her work. I told her she now has a patient for life. For years I was terrified of going to the dentist...after meeting Dr. Lefta I will now look forward to it. They made the whole experience that enjoyable and painless. After your first appointment at Dorsey Family Dental, you will not want to go anywhere else."

5 stars- "I have been a patient of Dr. Elliott for nearly 20 years. When he retired, I received a letter and testimonial introducing Dr. Lefta as our new dentist. This past weekend, I had a dental emergency while at home. Dr. Lefta was kind enough to come in on Saturday and assist me with a front crown. She then made time for me on last week's schedule to complete the work and replace my front crowns. I could not ask for better dental care. I can see why Dr. Elliott chose Dr. Lefta to continue as our dentist with Dorsey Family Dental. She is wonderful! Lorrie and Joanna are great as always and you cannot go wrong by placing your dental care in the hands of these folks. I highly recommend Dorsey Family Dental!"

5 starts- "She's amazing, as I am terrified of any kind of dr. She even got my husband in for an emergency situation. She has a very reassuring aura about her. She did an amazing job on my family of 5. We will be ready for our check up soon. Love Dr.Lefta"
Summer J.
5 stars- "This is the best dentist ever! I was absolutely terrified and hadn't been to the dentist in 9 years and had some awful teeth pain. She made me feel safe and all the staff were friendly and pretty much babied me. I don't know how I would have gotten through all of the work I needed done without them. The place is very clean and they really care about how you feel and will stop and make sure you are okay. There was no pain and my teeth are all better."
Kayla L.
5 stars- "Highly impressed and very pleased with my recent interaction with Dr. Lefta! She did a fantastic job on my multiple crowns. She was very flexible and worked around my busy schedule, even offering weekend hours if necessary. She is very caring and works hard to deliver the best results to her patients. She is very knowledgeable and spent a lot of time explaining all the pros and cons of all the options for restoring my teeth. She was sensitive to my budget and worked well within it to deliver a product that was not only functional, but also very esthetic. She holds herself and her staff to the highest standards. (cont...)
Rachel S.
(cont...) In one occasion, she did not hesitate to send a crown back to the lab as the fit was not perfect in her eyes; something that I'm sure my old dentist would never do. Not only is she very thorough, but I never felt rushed in my interactions with her and her staff. Dr. Lefta called and checked on me after every appointment; I'm sure this is a standard in her practice. Her dedication to her patients, her caring nature, her experience and dental talent makes Dr. Lefta and her staff stand out in my eyes. I am happy I followed through with a friend's recommendation to see Dr. Lefta. Switching providers to Dr. Lefta has been one of my best decisions regarding my dental health. I have since recommended Dr. Lefta to all my family and friends. Excellent all around!!!"
Rachel S.
5 stars- "I normally dread going to the dentist, but since I have been going to Dr. Tina Lefta, I have had nothing but good experiences. Dr. Lefta and her staff are very kind, understanding, patient, and take great care to make sure you are as comfortable as possible while in their care. I recently had to have an old filling replaced, and they did such a good job that you can barely even tell it's a filling now. I would very highly recommend them."
David S.
5 stars- "I have tried many dentists in the past and have never been fully satisfied with their quality of work until I saw Dr. Tina Lefta. She is the most amazing dentist, who provides excellent dental care and beautiful cosmetic work. I absolutely love my smile now and I am always excited to go back and see Dr. Lefta. I am so pleased with her attention to every little detail, she listens to you carefully and delivers each and every time what is important to you. The quality of my crowns is superb and they look just like my original teeth. I have had several crowns in the past that I was very cautious off and would hesitate to smile because my gum line would show and the crown would look fake. (cont...)
Anna N.
(cont...)Once my crowns were replaced by Dr. Lefta I feel more confident in myself and I love my smile. I also love the cosmetic work Dr. Lefta did on my front teeth. Dr. Lefta takes the time to explain all the procedures in detail and answers all your questions. She prioritizes which work needs to be done first and also works with your budget constraints. I would recommend Dr. Lefta to all my family and friends. Not only is she a very competent dentist, but she is also very honest, trustworthy, caring, and loving. Dr. Lefta genuinely treats you like a family. I guarantee you will love going to her and would never want to go anywhere else."
Anna N.
5 stars- "Dr Lefta is one of the finest dentists operating in Louisville. My wife was a 15 year hygienist and we take our business to Dr Lefta. Performs GREAT work and if you're searching for an honest and caring dentist, try her on. You won't be disappointed."

5 stars- "A few weeks ago, I went to Dorsey Family Dental at the recommendation of a friend who is well acquainted with the new owner, Dr. Tina Lefta. While I have never been afraid of going to the dentist, it had been a few years, so I wasn’t exactly looking forward to the visit. However, as soon as I stepped inside the office, I was taken aback by how much more welcoming and inviting everything was compared to what I have come to expect from a dental visit. While I wouldn’t have considered my experience with my prior dentist as being negative, I was accustomed to sitting next to the same old crinkly copy of Car and Driver magazine that hadn’t moved since 2012 while eating through my cell phone’s data plan to stay occupied. Therefore, I was a more than a little surprised to find that Dorsey Family Dental not only supplied free wifi, but also complimentary Keurig coffee and even a jug of water with freshly cut lemons floating inside. Right away, that told me a lot about how much the staff at Dorsey Family Dental care about the people who walk through their door. I didn’t need to wait long before being greeted Rachel, the hygienist. She not only did the job that was expected, but was extremely thorough in explaining every part of the process, (cont...)
(cont...) particularly what was wrong with my previous fillings and why food would continually get stuck in that spot, which caused a lot of discomfort. Dr. Lefta soon joined in and explained that the problem was caused by the angling of my teeth, and that a filling done properly could alleviate the problem. Given the experience thus far, I was confident that I made the right decision to give them a try and scheduled a second appointment for the following week.Sure enough, on the next visit, Dr. Lefta was able to deliver on her promise by putting in the additional effort to bridge the existing gap, which required an extra thirty minutes of work or so by my estimation. It’s difficult to say whether or not the dentist who had previously installed it had lacked the motivation or expertise to do it correctly, but one thing is for certain: Dr. Lefta and her excellent staff were not going to let me leave until the job was done to perfection. Dorsey Family Dental has definitely raised the bar on what I expect from a dental visit and they are the only place I would recommend to anyone going forward. Five stars, minimum!"

Friendly and Professional. Well organized - extremely tech savvy. Available for emergencies - bottom line - they will take excellent care of you. Insurance? Not a worry - they know when and what is covered and carefully explain it to you. No insurance? They'll work with you! Excellent.
Emily S.
5 Stars- "Dr. Lefta and her staff were very welcoming and inviting as soon as my daughter and I walked through the door. Dr. Lefta actually sat down and chatted with us and this definitely eased my fear. We also received a "tour" of the office! Peaceful and calming atmosphere! My procedure and billing were thoroughly explained and even during the procedure I was constantly reassured. Amazing! I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Lefta as your choice for any dentistry issues. Many continued blessings to each of you."
Wanda W.
I have been in excruciating pain since Wed, however, like most people I don't have Dental insurance. I simply cannot afford it. However, I reached out to this company and was met with a text exchange with Dr. Lefta. I couldn't sleep last night, my face was tensed and I cried so much. Although they don't take clients on Sunday, Dr. Lefta recommended something for my pain and said they would love to see me Monday. I won't go of course because I couldn't even afford Urgent Dental, but I thought the gesture and response was super nice. In the future, when I can get Dental care, I would love to go here. As for now, thank you Dr. Lefta, you didn't have to reach out but you did and that in itself was an amazing gesture and lets me know people do care about strangers who are in pain. Peace and Blessings.

I have serious anxiety when it comes to visiting the dentist. I have put off regular visits for several years. I found Dr. Lefta through some online searching and I am so glad I did. Dr. Lefta and the entire staff are fantastic. I was put totally at ease and they are amazing to deal with. I am so happy to have found a great dental practice!
Espy H.
Dr. Lefta and her staff are not just excellent at all that they do, but they are warm and welcoming. It might seem silly to get excited by a dentist (no disrespect intended Dr. lefta : ), but I’ve had more than a few not so good experiences at other dentists offices. She has done so much for me in the past year. My teeth are finally pretty and healthy. No pain or anxiety ever when going to the dentist. Highly recommend. Her office is conveniently located in Middletown on Shelbyville Rd., but for her I would drive pretty much anywhere. Thanks so much Dr. Lefta and all of you at the office. God bless!
Patricia K.

Out of the many dentists I have been seen by Dr. Lefta and staff are the best. They are very friendly and sincere. Dr. Lefta is very informative about your care and wants to give you the best possible treatment. I will never go to another Dentist.

5 stars- "Dr Lefta is by far the best dentist I have ever seen. I am a East Coast patient and really miss her. She saw me through some pretty traumatic and painful dental situations. She was through in her assessments. She completely explains the options and treatment plans. She goes beyond expectations to treat her patients. Dr.Lefta does excellent work and sincerely cares about you as a person,and as her patient. Louisville , you are blessed to have such a awesome dentist in your city. "
