“This was my first visit to this provider. I’d driven past the office for many years.
Receptionist was very congenial and the hygienist was very nice, efficient and gentle.
I was a little surprised that I wasn’t offered some water for rinsing after the cleaning. I am sure it would have been provided if I’d asked. Just a minor oversight.
All in all it was a good experience and I will certainly return.
Thanks
