Absolutely great appointment, saw me right away, addressed my concerns, discussed my budject and advised me properly. Appointment was made for one week later, not months and months, and insurance was handled in the office rather than me having to get reimbursed.
I will be back and I will refer.

September 15, 2012Rosemarie B.Verified patient
My teeth cleaning was less than 30 min. and I expected at least a minimum of 1hr. I was really surprised. I was very surprised and happy as I am totally scared of the dentist. It was also my first time going to a dentist in 10yrs. Dr. Weledniger was also gentle and sensitive towards me being scared with needing a filling requiring needles to making my mouth numb. Thank you to Dr. Weledniger and staff!
September 24, 2011Jonathan S.Verified patient
Really nice office. I liked that they emailed me all the forms to fill out before my appointment, it saved alot of time when I got there. Just walked right in and got started.
