Great experience as a new client. Julie was great at reception and welcomed me with a quick tour of the office. Amy was fantastic- it's very apparent why she would be placed as a hygienist with new customers, and why she seems to be booked up most of the year. Delsey was very helpful with making follow up appointments and explaining benefits. I would highly recommend this office.

I actually enjoy going to Castle Peak and Dr. David because every single person working there is exceptionally friendly & all appear to enjoy their job. Rare these days! Besides that I also know that I am getting top-notch care. Would highly recommend Dr. David to anyone that has a fear of going to the dentist as he is so kind & absolutely wants to make sure you understand.
