Incredibly kind group with warm, positive, and welcoming energy from everyone at every visit!I honestly cannot say... enough good things about this dental office. I have had a MOUNTAIN of work that needed doing after 10 years or so of anxiety and depression struggles, but despite the awful state of my teeth, they showed compassion and understanding of those struggles and assured me I am not the only one. I have had many appointments in the past 2 years, including some emergency ones that they kindly made the time for, and every single one was good.It has been a long road to getting better, but they have helped make it as smooth and painless as possible, with positive uplift to help get back on a healthy and pain-free path!read more

I HATE going to the dentist due to a horrible experience as a child. This is, by far, the most compassionate and kind... group of people I have ever gone to for dental work. From the receptionist, to the hygienists, to the dentists themselves, just a wonderful, kind bunch of people. Super professional and efficient. I am so pleased that I dare say they changed some of my fears for the future.read more
