“Ive had unfortunate prior experiences with OTHER Dentists so I used to avoid going at all. This won’t be the case anymore! I loved my experience at this office and with Dr.Connolly was very kind and he explained everything to me. I am very happy to have found a great office/Dentist that I am comfortable with! I definitely would recommend this office if you’re look for a new dentist. The staff is also very sweet.”

My review is for the office and the overall experience. The doctor himself was very nice and seemed knowledgable, but overall - I do not recommend this practice. When I walked in, there was one other person in the waiting room, yet somehow, I still waited for an hour and 20 minutes. About an hour in, I was told I’m “almost next”. Almost…
I specifically called prior to the appointment to ask if cleaning could be done in the same visit, and they said yes. However, the doctor told be that normally they’d be able to do the cleaning and even the filling right away, but they were “for some reason double booked” and were running behind; therefore, he was only able to take my xrays. After already spending nearly two hours there, I was sent home, having to schedule two more appointments to get all the work done, because “for some reason”, they didn’t manage their schedule well.
As for the office - don’t expect any bells and whistles. It’s very simple and basic.

Went to this office in regards to a tooth that needed to be extracted… After the normal process, they said they would have to reach out to my primary doctor in order to receive the OK to schedule an extraction… After an entire week of waiting for them to “call me back“ and after leaving three messages, it got to the point where I had to literally find another dentist as the tooth that needs to be extracted. Continues to get worse… No phone call from the office updating me on what it’s going on, no communication actually whatsoever… honestly, it’s sort of baffles me that a place like this is even in business at all

They have great service overall!

The computers went out right before my appointment and the staff was very apologetic. The doctor still took a look and was able to fix the cause of my discomfort. They rebooked my appointment quickly and everyone was super friendly. Highly recommend!

My experience with this dental office was the best it could be. I am somebody that’s very anxiety driven and they made me feel very comfortable. I actually had to go for emergency pain and I left within an hour and a half after having a tooth extracted. It was so smooth and very painless because I was numbed very well. I was explained everything with so much detail and given time to process my decision. I will definitely be recommending this office to all of my family members that have my same insurance. Thank you again to the office for making a difference.

This made up for a horrible dentist experience I had a few years ago elsewhere. Very thorough and knowledgeable. Not a single question unanswered. And very friendly staff all around :)
