As far as major dental work goes, I was just glad I got through it. The best part was that I didn't feel the needle that brought the numbness.

Dr. Shihata is one of the best dentist I've ever gone to. I am 52 years old and needed a bridge that spanned over 4 teeth. A lot of work if you ask me. But the girls in the office are always so nice and friendly as well as Dr. Shihata that I felt sad after walking out yesterday knowing I wasn't going to be going back for 6 months.

Today I was made aware of drastic changes that will be needed going forward. I was impressed by everyone. They were very caring and explained fully what would be needed. Not what I wanted to hear but I fully trust that I will be happy with the final results.

Amazing, caring team. I've been to many dentists let's just say I developed a fear of them. Now I actually don't fear the dentist anymore after this wonderful team. I had a tooth extraction here and they kept checking in, working with my schedule and helped me whenever I had a problem. They made me feel like I was a priority. Staying with these guys as long as possible!

Such a wonderful experience at this office today! Everyone was very friendly and kind yet very professional. The hygienist Sarah was so gentle, and so engaging. I feel very comfortable with her. The doctor was also very patient and kind and informative. Even though we're not supposed to love going to the dentist, I actually do! Becky and Tiffany at the front desk were wonderful! Overall a great experience! I actually look forward to my next visit!

Very personable dentist. Completely enjoyed the experience of having crown installed to replace a cracked tooth. All aspects were taken care of up front, even told I had a credit when I left.
