As always, she is super sweet and one of the best dentist I have ever had! Her office manager and her staff are super helpful and sweet as well. The use of technology makes a huge difference in helping me understand my oral health and also having Netflix access in the room makes the waiting comfortable and a breeze.
From the time I stepped into the office, until I left at the completion of my appointment, I was very well taken care of. Chairside manner was incredible. The staff and Dr. Dunlap made sure I was comfortable and well informed. Because I am a cancer patient, and participating in a clinical trial, extra precautions had to be taken with the treatments anticipated, making certain my clinical trial team was well informed. Dr. Dunlap assured me she will be in constant contact with the team. I am terrified of dental appointments, but I didn't have one moment of anxiety, thanks to a very kind staff, sensitive to my apprehensions. They are a "Keeper"!

The dentist is real polite and guides you step by step so there are no surprises since you cannot see what is going on in your mouth. She also preps you in case an impending pain may come on while she is goes through the dental procedure. The office is serene and colored schemed giving a spa environment feeling which is good to relax your nerves in case you have any dental aversion. Staff are professional and friendly.

Verified patient
Dr. Dunlap and her staff have great bedside manner. My four year old with Autism needed an extraction and they were gentle and reassuring with her and as she said after "I didn't feel anything!"." My older girls (8 & 10) also were put at ease and very relaxed about their procedures (a filling and sealants) . They have a much more relaxed and positive view of "going to the dentist" than I did as a kid!
Verified patient
Dr. Dunlap is very meticulous yet very gentle. She explains the procedures very clearly and makes sure that the patient is comfortable. Her clinic uses up-to-date technology and her staff members are very professional and knowledgeable.
