So pleased with the staff! They were very professional, and I am so happy to find a new dentist team to help me out. Mind you, i haven't been to the dentist in many years, and they made me feel so comfortable with the experience. And the front desk people helped me so much with everything. Even the dental assistants checked on me while I was waiting for the dr. So glad I found this dentist office! Will refer everyone there! Great experience, and cannot wait to see my beautiful smile come back to life, and not be scared to smile!
