The staff is fantastic! Debbie is the best oral hygenist out there! I came in with not the greatest mouth and there was no judgement. Today my mouth is healthy and it didn't break the bank either! Love this place and highly recommend it!

I have been going to Dr. Vallely for a very long time. Great service and courteous staff. The team (in part) seems to be new, but part of the same quality of staff that has always supported this office. Highly recommend this office.

Amazing team of people taking care of your needs and looking out for patients wellness. Dr V was great and made time to do a procedure outside of the schedule to take care of the pain! The office even followed up with a phone call to check! Surely makes you feel special and well cared for! Great job to the entire team!

Dr Vallely and Dannette, his assistant, were excellent. I had a crown installed by a different dentist that was done incorrectly and caused a lot of pain and gum inflammation. Dr V was able to remove and replace it. There were a couple of steps in the process that I had wait 5 minutes and Dannette was very friendly in striking conversation to help pass the time. She asked several times if I was ok (if I was cold she offered a blanket or if I needed to use the restroom before we moved to next step). I sincerely appreciated both of their attention to taking great care of me.
