Dr. Shave and her staff go above and beyond to help you out. Polite in every way, always there to greet you with a smile and when they ask you how you are, its not just to make small talk, they genuinely care.
Had a cleaning today and when I walked into the office they had all the protocols in place due to COVID, and I was not concern about anything-felt very safe. Even though I only had a cleaning today, I would highly recommend Dr. Shave. In the past she has replaced a couple of crowns another dentist did and has done other crown work on me as well and is so gentle, I am truly amazed. Keep
