Couldn't be happier. The staff was incredibly friendly. I broke a tooth, needed extracting,called in, and got very lucky with timing. In no time, they had me in and and out. I'm not a fan of dental work, but we were cracking jokes the entire time and we're very comforting. For the first time in years, I haven't had tooth pain, and I couldn't recommend them more. joan bowersApril 28, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
