It was a wonderful experience. I tend to be very sensitive towards body language, comments & tones. Dr. Castro was very calming, she walked me through every step and explained everything as she did it. She made me feel very relaxed and relieved. Will definitely be returning! Geff works at the front desk, and he is very funny!

Dr.Castro was very warm and welcoming. I have been super embarrassed by my teeth and after speaking with Dr. Castro I was immediately put at ease. We walked through my dental plan and she was very clear on our next steps. I couldn’t have found a better dentist or office.
