Excellent staff who are professionals and able to explain procedures to include patient benefits while performing them. My "long term" dental plan was discussed in detail along with scope of work to be done and cost included. I highly recommend Dr Donaire and staff.

I was urgent to see a dentist due to a broken tooth. Staff was very helpful in getting my insurance figured and Dr. Donaire was great to set me at ease and provided several options. Her tech was knowledgeable and kind to allay my fears also.

I was a little hesitant about getting my exam/ cleaning done, because I am terrified of dental appt. However, Dr. Donaire & Cindy made me feel so comfortable. They are so warm, it truly makes dental visits a little better. Front desk is so welcoming and helpful.
