Dr. Michael is a great dentist! He diagnosed and pulled my cracked tooth out in actual minutes. He and his staff are so kind and funny. They accepted my insurance with no problem with detailed quotes for future dental work. I am so glad he’s my new dentist :)

Dr. Michael Heffelfinger was very professional and exercised a lot of patience with me since I am not fond of going to a dentist. He explained what he was going to do and was always concerned about how I was feeling throughout my procedure. He took his time and also answered all my questions that I had. I would highly recommend him to anyone. His staff was also courteous and considerate.
