“Very friendly, like talking to long time friends. Excellent sense of humor. Wait time was probably 5 minutes, if that, after i finished 3 short forms to fill out. 15 minutes from the time i walked in the door. I didn't get to sit in the comfy rocker long enough. Top shelf dental office. I was told more about the health of my mouth in the first visit, at 58 years old, than all dentists I've seen combined. ”
