This is my most favorite dentist I have ever been to! Every single person I interacted with was genuinely kind and pleasant. They took time to explain the condition of my teeth in an easily understandable manner. My experience here makes me want to take care of my teeth as best as possible. Thanks everyone!

I just want to say wow!!! They came up with my dental plan and they were extremely thorough. I am so happy with the attention to detail. They truly do care about patient wellness and comfort. They give you your insurance coverage estimate and make sure you understand the full scope of the dental plan and the steps/options to help you get a healthy mouth. The staff is just amazing!

My husband and I are new to the area so we needed to find a new dentist. After my husband went here first, I decided to give them a try as well. In all aspects they have been communicative and easy to work with. From transferring dental records, setting up appointments , and working with the hygienist and dentist, everything has been pleasant. I’m looking forward to being a patient for many years to come!
