It was a great visit. The office had some newer tech which made my time there a little more comfortable. Everyone was great and they never made me feel bad because I waited so long to see a dentist.

Dr. Henderson and her staff were all very warm and welcoming. After a very short wait, I was seen for x-rays and a cleaning, and they made sure I was comfortable and well-informed along every step of the process. This was my first time back to see a dentist since 2015 (!) and I'm glad I chose Dr. Henderson and her team.

Denise is an excellent dentist. I feel like her work is really good.
The cost is higher, though, even with insurance.

Always a longer wait than I'd like. I usually have to wait at least 15 mins before I am called in the waiting room.

April 26, 2018Katherine W.Verified patient
Dr. Henderson and her staff are all friendly, proffesional and kind. After the dentist who I’d seen for 30 years retired I thought i’d never find another one as good and likable as he was. I saw a few different ones until I finaly found Dr. Henderson. She is fantastic! The office is clean and up to date, yet has a homey feel to it.

5 min waiting room time. Very friendly and professional hygienists and dentists. Love that the whole staff are female. Very cool!
November 15, 2017Julia C.Verified patient
Dr. Henderson and her staff are very nice and welcoming! Everyone was warm and easy to talk to. I look forward to continuing my dental work there. One thing: the waiting room is an eye sore- mismatched furniture and a maroon shag carpet. Obviously not a deal breaker, but could be updated. Other than that, I've enjoyed my experience there!
