“The dentist and hygienist were excellent and answered all of my questions. They went above and beyond. The only thing I would say is they don’t schedule with the times Zocdoc listed (945) so the front desk had to call me and reschedule the times, but other than that was great!”

“The doctor was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. Had a great time while we were in there. Got our first check-up done and had a lot of chat which made us to feel welcoming. Definitely recommended. ”
