GREAT EXPERIENCE. Minimal Wait time. The staff was excellent. The office was immaculate. I just found out today that this office accepts Medicaid. So I made appts for my children this Friday. I will let you know how good they are with kids too. The doctor was very gentle and took his time to explain me the procedures that I needed,
Thank you!!!!

He was a bit rude
More than 1 year agoInitials hidden
seemed genuinely concerned for my teeth and keeping my smile nice. when he noticed something wrong with my crown he did not mention loosing the tooth, but instead mentioned tooth replacement options. to me this was wonderful because even the idea of loosing a tooth is devastating. i was very happy to hear about positive options immediately without even one mention of the tooth being pulled.
