I can’t recommend this dental practice enough. My dentist is not only incredibly skilled and gentle, but also takes the time to explain every step, making sure you feel comfortable and informed throughout the entire process. What truly sets them apart is the attention to detail—not just clinically, but in how they treat you as a person. The whole team is compassionate, efficient, and committed to giving the best patient experience possible. Whether it’s a routine cleaning or a more complex procedure, I left feeling cared for and confident in my smile. Truly a five-star experience.

My last dentist visit with another office wasn’t good but I read reviews on her which were good. And today’s visit was so amazing, her bedside manner was very kind. She listened to any concerns I had and everyone in that office was so kind and caring! Highly recommend this office !! Definitely will be staying with her as my dentist.

Can't recommend Dr Gurung enough
Verified patient
Dr. Gurung and her staff were fantastic with me for the entire experience. I came in semi-emergently with intense jaw pain. She saw me with urgency and respect. Took time to evaluate and take care of me. I did not, for one second, ever feel rushed! I went home with antibiotics, came back for another visit a few days after, and had a deep cleaning. Had a follow-up the week after. I appreciate Dr. Gurung in her accurate diagnosis. Pain is gone and I feel great! Thank you, Dr. Gurung!!
Verified patient
Dr. Gurung provided me with the most thorough dental examination I've ever had. The friendly and professional office staff took numerous x-rays and detailed images of my teeth and mouth. Dr. Gurung did the cleaning (!!), and afterward, she brought me into her office to review the images and discuss my options. She was wonderful, the office was new and clean, and the staff - Doris and Anna - were professional and kind. I cannot recommend this office enough!
