I'm really glad to have this opportunity to provide feedback. We're new to the island, needed to find a good fit for a dentist, and obtained an appointment on advice from a friend. I was welcomed by the administrative team and confirmed expenses I should expect to incurand was pleased to learn my military retiree dental insurance covered all but state tax. I was extremely impressed and pleased with the quality of care and thoroughness of Dr Lee and hygienist Janet. Dr Lee examined my new x-rays, examined my teeth and made notes, listened to me, and talked with me. That took more than 30 minutes, but it was time well spent. I felt like Dr Lee was competent, engaged, and genuinely cared about my oral health and what I said. I have had a couple of good dentists but never one so thorough. I was really pleased. I think Dr Lee established a really good baseline from which to build on with respect to my care. Janet was also thorough cleaning my teeth. Unlike some hygienists I've had over the last 50 or so years, I've never had such a thorough cleaning and by someone who never hurt me. On top of all this, Janet was just a pleasant person to talk with. On the way out I was able to schedule my next exam six months into the future easily. I thank God we found this dentist and dental firm.

Juliet has cleaned my teeth for years. She does a thorough job and I walk away with smooth teeth and a shiny smile. I am sure her work has saved me from needing more serious work done.

Yesterday was my first visit as a new patient for Dr. Zachary Lee. Previous to my visit, I found the office staff to be very cordial and helpful with possible new applicant questions that I had. I also liked that I could submit my paperwork online prior to my visit. I thoroughly enjoyed my first visit--from the moment I entered, I felt very welcomed by the front staff. Dr. Zachary Lee and his staff were also very welcoming, professional, friendly and efficient, from the x-rays, recording of notes, to the professional cleaning. I felt that Dr. Lee was very thorough in his exam and in establishing my baseline; I appreciated that he explained his thoughts from my x-rays and his exam, and areas to watch that could be of possible future concern. It was a great first visit and I am looking forward to my next visit!
