“I had a great experience with this dental office. The staff was very friendly and helpful, which made a big difference since I hadn’t been to the dentist in two years and was feeling pretty anxious. Everyone was kind and really helped put me at ease.
The hygienist was especially great—she explained clearly what I need to do to get my gums back in order and made sure I understood everything. Now I have “homework,” and I don’t want to disappoint her!
Overall, the office was welcoming, the care was excellent, and I would highly recommend them.

This was the best experience I’ve ever had at a dentist office. Dr. Narissa Ross went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. There was no judgment (even when I told her I hadn’t had a cleaning in a couple of years). She explained everything she was doing and was gentle. Best part was my entire appointment including X-rays was only 35 min. I can’t recommend Dr. Ross more!

My experience was great. Definitely will be back. Ms. Devin did an awesome job cleaning my teeth, explained each part of the process, and suggested ways to improve my teeth and gum care. Dr. Ross was very nice and friendly. Overall a very pleasant experience.
