We just love this clinic! Everyone is so nice and caring. The dentist is awesome and does what he can at an affordable rate. I never been to a dentist like him! He is very nice. All around great experience. The dental hygienist is a sweetie and is very carful about pain and helps you to be very comfortable and is very pleasant. The girls upfront are very helpful with insurance and appointments and make sure you was happy with the visit. I would highly recommend this clinic!

Let me begin by saying that this grown man is scared of the dentist office. I chose this office because the door says they take walkins and it was right next to the archery range. The staff was super friendly and I was in the chair in 10 minutes. I made an appointment to have my teeth cleaned and an exam the following week. Cleaning was a breeze and 99% pain free. Today I had a filling done and it was 100% pain free. I'm a cash customer so the discount was great and all 3 visits were incredibly affordable. I thought the staff was awesome and Dr K was great. I'll definitely be coming back! I'm not quite as scared of the dentist after visiting this office. 10 out of 10!

Wow! They are awesome. Very affordable with easy payment plans even for "not-so-perfect " credit. My insurance paid after all but initially they saw me as a cash patient and it was only $39 I couldn't believe it. Dr K has a lot of experience and was even able to keep me at that location for my implant I'm planning soon. The entire staff works really well together and they're all so very nice.

Horrible experience, walked in receptionist looked as if she did not want to be there. Then in the process of checking in, I was being told to update my phone number and I was letting them know my number is the same, she cut me off to say that they had left messages. I was informing her that I do not check messages. She became infuriated and told me she does not deal with attitudes. Needless to say I walked out.

Highly recommend this office. They got me in the day of calling and were SO HELPFUL. Jessica was my assistant to Dr.K and they both were amazing and made me feel so comfortable. Their office coordinator took time to go over all of my payment options so I wouldn't have to stress about any billing issues!

First went here in January 2021 for replacement of my dentures. They seemed nice. The first set made were painful, struggled to speak properly. Was told I would need to get used to them. Went back in January of 2022 when they set up the one year follow up. I was not happy, treated like I had never been there and my mouth still hurt. Since the first set were not right a second were made. I wish I could say I was happy hut I'm not, they rub my gums raw and I'm doing what I can personally to cushion them I will not go back. Hope others have better luck.

My experience with Dr.K was horrible. he's not gentle, no bed side manners, unorganized office since new staffing, terrible to the staff. The office makes you pay a 50 deposit when I have insurance that will pay for my visit. They only want your money thats all they care about. I DO NOT RECOMMEND COMING HERE.
