“It took 25 minutes for the dental office to contact my insurance provider, Guardian, but otherwise a timely appointment.”
Shao Ming Y.July 26, 2024
“I only have amazing things to say about this office. There was a short wait which was justified after I saw how thoroughly they examined my teeth. The hygenist and doctor were able to tell me information that multiple dentists before had failed to notice and the treatment plan was thoroughly explained without any pushing to sell as most offices do. Definitely a trustworthy office.”

At the time of scheduling your appointment, please provide your Dental Insurance ID number so we can verify eligibility and ensure proper coverage for your first visit. We require a current full mouth set of radiographs (typically 18 individual x-rays) prior to any cleaning or comprehensive exam. Please obtain them from your previous provider, or we can easily take them in-office once we check your insurance eligibility. We kindly request a 24-hour notice for any cancellations. Thank you!

Provider called the day before the appointment to cancel, saying that the office would be closed that day. Then he tried to book me at a different office that was further away.

Great! Found my new dentist!
April 2, 2023Nakita B.Verified patient
The doctor and all the employees there were really nice, but the time they made me wait was ridiculous over 1 hour, and previously, my appointment they called me at least 5 times to make sure I was on time, and they were extremely late over 1 hour of waiting.
March 25, 2023Sharon M.Verified patient
Good place but the price without insurance for standard operations is considerably higher than other places. If I didn't need something immediately, I would absolutely go elsewhere.

Unfortunately I cannot recommend this DDS. I arrived with an emergency visit at 9:30am that required his attention and instead was disregarded. Waited 35 mins. To be told that i could only be seen after 12pm. The front desk informed me that my insurance was capped out but i informed her that i was willing to pay cash as long as i would be seen for my visit. The lady was not helpful or understanding but was so gracious enough to allow 2 other ppl to be seen by the DDS whom arrived after me. To add injury to insult, didnt receive a courtesy call in advance to let me know about my insurance or the doctor’s availability therefore, This place should be overlooked as the service is extremely poor.

I am sure he is a nice guy but both times i saw him he seemed very insecure about what he was doing and seemed nervous and a bit off.

Dr. Bradford is quite nice and professional. Both regular clearning and deep cleaning are great experiences as I hardly feel any pain during the procedure.
June 29, 2018Wenchao M.Verified patient
Dr. Mclaughlin is an caring and detailed professional. He consistently spends time discussing my concerns, takes good notes that allow him to remember what we previously talked about, and provides great suggestions.

Dr Brad is the BEST! Not only did he take care of my specific need, he also followed up on my overall status and really advised me on further treatment. He really knows what he's talking about and he has such a pleasant approach, in addition to doing precision work.

I really like this place. Doctors, assistants are so nice. In addition, front desk's girls are always smiling, they are really kind. All treatments and promotions are excellent. For those reasons I give them five stars.
