Very friendly and professional staff. I was anxious about not recieving dental care in a while, and they were very understanding and encouraging. The lobby was very calming to sit in. Great communication from the office before my appointment too confirming the appointment. My appointment was done efficiently and I was never left waiting too long or without answers. They provide a full treatment plan/outlook for you. 10/10 experience, I will be booking again!!

Had a root canal with Dr. Melendez and odescity and it was a really great experience. Usually going to the dentist is a very nervous thing to me but they made it so much better.

I called and asked for specific service. It was moved to a different date because they needed the time. One I arrived to my appt, they only x ray and that is it. They made me drive out from work just for x rays
