If you have a general fear or dislike of going to the dentist, then this is the place to go. The entire experience from check in to check out was as comfortable as I could have only hoped for. I would highly recommend this dentist to anyone who is looking for the best place to go.

AMAZING PRACTICE! Today was my first time at this practice, and I must say it was an absolutely wonderful experience. I felt welcomed and appreciated as a patient. I felt heard and advocated for. As a nurse these are all such important factors for me. The staff was friendly and personable the entire time. There was laughter and smiles(with masks, don't worry) all around. Dr. Alsamir is kind, gentle, compassionate and has wonderful bedside manner. The front office staff, especially Amy, was phenomenal about getting my information from my previous dentist and verifying my insurance and keeping me up to date along the way. Amy is a pleasure to speak with and I felt welcomed by her before I ever even entered the office! The dental hygienist was gentle, experienced and knowledgeable. The communication and compassion from everyone on staff was truly appreciated and for the FIRST time in a long time, I don't mind that I need to go back in two weeks for the second step of my procedure! Thank y'all so much!!!

I could not ask for a better experience at a Dentist office, from the receptionist to dental assistants and Dr. Alsamir himself, everyone was friendly and professional, they put my comfort and well-being first and foremost. This was the most comfortable dental visit I've had in my entire life.
