Really great. The office is young and upbeat and the doc is brilliant. She found a solution for me quickly and had her staff check to see what, if anything, was covered by insurance.
May 17, 2017Keri C.Verified patient
She's excellent all around. Just know that she's an orthodontist, not a general dentist. Since her page listed that she takes appointments for general dentistry and that's what I was looking for (conveniently close to me), I booked with her, but she doesn't do the bite wing x-rays that detect small cavities, so I'll need to go see someone else for that. Kind of wish I had known before booking the appointment, but she seems amazing at what she does and I'd highly recommend her.
