This is a warm-spirited dental clinic, and Trisha makes one feel comfortable from the very start. I knew Shawna, the hygenist, from our now retired dentist. I followed her here to Brookside Dental. Shawna's friendly, kind and very diligent in her work without it hurting. Then, I was very pleased to meet Dr. Kowal, who is also a kind hearted person He has state of the art xrays and a camera for the inside of the mouth. He showed me the inherent problems in my mouth without ever making me feel badly about the situation. I will gladly be returning here again.
