My experience was great. I had a minimal wait time to check my IDs as a first time client. Staff was super friendly and nice. The dental assistant was super gentle and doc was great at explaining any issues
May 17, 2023Neli P.Verified patient
Office is very clean and staff is very warm, professional, and friendly. Dr Nathalie Vera was also very warm, kind, concerned for my oral wellbeing, gave me tips on caring for my oral health that would require little out of pocket (OTC), dental plan was well received, concise, with all planned procedures itemized and detailing the costs both out of pocket and what my dental insurance covers. All my questions were answered satisfactory and through.
April 26, 2023Scott D.Verified patient
The staff was wonderful! The office was extremely clean. My head felt quite comfortable on the pillow they provided. There was absolutely no wait time and both the hygienist and dentist were amazing! I’ll see them back for my next appointment in 6 months but would recommend to anyone.

First time coming in and I was impressed at how attentive everyone on the team was! I showed up slightly early and they took me in right away and I was very pleased with the hospitality at this office! They even had a gift bag waiting with my name on it. Long story short, I will be back and would recommend anyone that lives in the area and looking for a dentist

From the minute you walk in this place makes you feel nothing but comfortable! The staff greets you as soon as you walk through the door and the waiting room is warm and inviting. Dr. Vera is super sweet and constantly smiling. She is very professional though, and has an extremely delicate touch, which is a great trait for a dentist. The office is impressively clean throughout. There is not one thing I would change about this office. Thanks to the whole staff for making it a great visit. I will definitely be back.

I had cosmetic work with Dr. Vera. From the moment I stepped into her office it was a wonderful experience. Her front desk staff was super friendly and accommodated my financial needs. Her assistants, Jameela and Joseph made me very confortable throughout my procedure, and Dr. Vera had hands of gold...I practically fell asleep in her chair! I love how my vaneers came, out they look beautiful! Thank you Dr. Vera!!!
