Really great office staff and doctor. The care I received was helpful and explained to me. I get anxious around doctors and Dr. Brown did everything possible to make me comfortable. She emphasized that she wants the best care for her patients and was very helpful in answering questions etc.
Cannot say enough nice things about this practice.
January 17, 2025John G.Verified patient
I was new to this office and I was thoroughly impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff. Being I had past dentist trauma they made me feel extremely comfortable and was knowledgeable. They took the time to get to know and I appreciated that
September 13, 2024Tracee H.Verified patient
Dr.Brown and her staff are amazing. As a black woman, I’ve never been in a dentist office where the whole staff is Black women. I felt very welcomed and it was very informative. Dr.Brown and her assistant are very thorough, more than I’ve seen of any dentist. She told me things about my teeth that I didn’t even know. The con is that I was there for almost 3 hours but there was chunk of time for paperwork, x-rays, checking gum health, checking my plaque areas, teeth cleaning, polishing, and exam. Honestly, I hope whatever insurance I have in the future covers this office because I always want to go back.
October 9, 2023Deandra G.Verified patient

Very pleasant experience for a dentist. All of the staff were professional and the assistant to the dentist was a true gem. I normally experience high anxiety during appts but not here. Also, every part of the procedure was thoroughly explained. I think I’ve found my permanent dentist.

April 23, 2021Aishia S.Verified patient
This is a great office & I'll for sure be coming to them for the foreseeable future.

I also really love that it is an office made up of mainly Black women!! I definitely recommend them.

Dr. Brown and staff provided excellent care upon my first visit. The office personnel were welcoming, fast and helpful. The dental assistant was thorough in collecting my medical history and taking my X-Rays but was also personable and relaxing.
Dr. Brown’s care was exceptional. She arrived quickly, engaged with me personally and professionally and communicated my dental care needs effectively. Both she and the assistant accommodated my sensitivity and lessened my discomfort where possible.
This practice will be my dental care home going forward.
