Very disappointed of the dishonesty here.
Had to squeeze the appointment on my schedule only to find out that I have to pay extra for a cleaning appointment, although my insurance covers it 100%!
May 8, 2026Maryam A.Verified patient
the hygienist was really nice and good. I do feel they come if a little money hungry with just recommending procedures and not fully explaining why you need them

Amazing service. The entire staff was on point.
May 9, 2025Ron R.Verified patient
Everyone in the office was upbeat and supportive. Typically going to the dentist can be an intimidating experience but they did everything they could do to put me at ease and were sensitive to my comfort. They also thoroughly explained everything they were doing at the time and for aftercare. Great experience throughout
