“The doctor was very nice, professional, and proformed great quality work at least with my cleaning. I think the office and technology could use some work but perfectly reasonable. Parking was reasonable but only had one or two open and right spots available in their lot but there was nearby street parking available.”

I have overwhelming anxiety when visiting the Dentist. I felt at ease and the receptionist was the so kind and helpful! The dentist + assistants were awesome as well. She was compassionate and understanding and took her time explaining in good detail what my treatment plan was.
Glad I found this office! Highly recommend.

Everyone here is so kind and professional, and they explain everything very clearly. It was my first time at this dental office, and Tia(?) at the front desk was unbelievably friendly. The assistant was also very gentle and helpful, and Helen explained everything in a clear and straightforward way. I highly recommend this small but very warm dental office!
