The Doctor and staff are very friendly, kind, patient and understanding. I have always had severe anxiety with having dental work done, but they were able to provide the best experience I have ever had. Even when I started having an anxiety attack in the chair, they made sure I was as comfortable as possible. They truly care about their patients here. I can not recommend them enough.

Amazingly down to earth Dr. and staff. Makes going to the dentist almost a pleasure. Service and pricing way better than the chain dentist my insurance recommended and when I had an emergency these guys were the only ones in town willing to make room for me even though I was not a current customer. I changed dentists for my entire family I was so impressed with the customer service.

I needed some extensive dental work done and couldn't get a straight forward plan from local Dentist or Oral Surgeons. I had John do a complete evaluation and within minutes, he put together a plan that made me feel good about his skills and abilities. He worked me in quickly and the results have been exceptional. I highly recommend Bay Dental Center to anyone needing dental work.
