“I was very pleased with all of the services at Carus Dental. The phone calls to make the appointment, the follow-up, emailing of forms to complete in advance - these were all professional, helpful, and the staff members were patient and friendly. At the office, I did not wait long and the dentist took the time to listen to and respond to my concerns. I am pleased to find a new dentist in the Belton area that I can trust. Thank you!”
