Dr Michel took his time and explained all to me and followed up with me and my dentist afterward to ensure we were all aware of the plan. He also was speaking so nicely to his staff throughout the experience. I highly recommend his practice.

I felt like Dr. Michel really cared about my problems and took the time to listen as well as explain all of my options and possibilities. He was not condescending or patronizing in any way (which has been an issue with past doctors) and I have nothing but good things to say.
June 3, 2023Karina M.Verified patient
Dr. Michel was great! my first time visiting this office, and got a last minute appointment. They were able to work with me to get my procedure done before heading out on a work trip next week. The staff was attentive and friendly, and Dr. Michel was personable and professional. Would highly recommend Dr. Michel and his practice!
