What a calm respectful environment. My agenda/priorities and budget mattered to them. My dentist was wonderful. She gave me her finding and recommendations in a manner that was clear and easy to understand. I truly feel that my needs were valued and that as a team we would be successful in improving the likelihood of keeping my teeth longer and my mouth healthier. Genuinely a place worth trying out you will not be sorry.

I have a *huge* phobia of going to the dentist but my cleaning was quick and surprisingly painless. The front desk staff also knows their job very well and is great with handling insurance and such.
