“The office did reach out shortly after booking to change my appointment to see Dr. Scott Pearl instead. Nonetheless, the visit was an absolute pleasure. The office is so clean, the staff is super friendly & Dr. Scott is so knowledgeable. I went ahead & scheduled my son for the following week & my partner for the next. My son loved his appointment, they made him feel so at ease & confident about his teeth/smile. Can’t wait for my partner to go to his. I 100% recommend them!”

The staff was so great! I had to take my 2 year old daughter because I couldn’t find a sitter and she was not happy being in a stroller! The office girls came by the room I was in to play with her a little bit instead of just getting crusted at a little crying baby

I had a tooth that was causing so much pain and Dr. Pearl was able to take it out the same day! Other dentists I’ve been to would have made me come back. Thanks Dr. Pearl!
September 3, 2019Mon H.Verified patient
Best dental experience I’ve ever had! I put off going because a lack of any fantastic bedside manner and honest up front pricing of anyone I’ve been to. I couldn’t have found a better place. Thank you so much ??

January 6, 2017Andrew H.Verified patient
One of the best dentists I have been to. He was kind, friendly , and so thorough. I suffer from PTSD and am always nervous about going to a new dentist. He was gentle and so patient with me. They are open Saturday too.
I will be a life long patient.
