I was pleased with the service I received. He had a great bedside manner and was very professional. His humor and singing were quite appreciated since I was quite nervous and have never been a fan of dentists. I would definitely recommend their practice. Thanks Dr Derek

Dr. Derek could not have been more professional. He explained the process, was sensitive, compassionate, and provided incredible support. My anxiety level was high - not worried about how Dr. Derek would handle it but just that it had been decades since I had a tooth extracted during a different era of dentistry.
Dr. Derek deserves A++++ for the entire procedure.

I met Derek in the waiting room, and it was nice to talk with him. He made a point to ask my sons and I about our summer vacation. Derek was down to earth, and easy to talk with.

Dr. Vinkovich was phenomenal. I had a filling fixed, and he made sure I was comfortable throughout the entire experience. He was kind, courteous, & patient with me. He checked with me at regular intervals throughout the procedure to make sure I was still ok. When he numbed me I barely felt the needle. He was very gentle, precise, & meticulous throughout the procedure. He thoroughly explained the process & answered all of my questions with clearly understandable language & descriptions.
