Dr. Bell was Amazing! I was completely blown away by how quick, friendly and professional the staff were. The receptionist was welcoming and very helpful. I’ve been to the dentist my whole life but this was the first time I felt the doctor actually kept me engaged and informed on what’s going on, what to look out for and how to proceed with my dental care and was straight to the point. It was pretty cool like I was the assistant I’d definitely recommend this place & will absolutely be returning!

It is hard to find a great Doctor, especially with impeccable bed side manners. I adore my 1st visit and look forward to meeting her again in 6 months. Also, special shout out to her front end staff Shay! Beautiful Black women servicing their community with a smile. Blessings. Dr. Taylor

Great location. Plenty of (paid) street parking. Great front desk person - very nice and friendly. Clean office.
My only concern is being asked to sign document on signing pad without seeing them.
Everything else is 10/10

Easy to find the outside; I mistakenly went to the other business on the 2nd floor, but once I was pointed in the right direction, it was easy to find. The place is very clean and nice looking, with a cute little fish swimming in the corner. Both receptionist and Dr. Bell were extremely professional and kind. My appt was in and out quickly. Will return again.
