The primary dentist here is responsive to my concerns and took extra unscheduled time to do a minor repair when I was in for a cleaning. He is communicative, pleasant and concerned about my comfort/care. I've had nothing but positive experiences here. The hygienist too was informative, through and careful as well as informative. Highly recommend them. Since Dr. Baumgartner retired, I've been through 2 other dentists and with Dr. Cam Little and team, I feel comfortable and confident. It doesn't get much better than this.

Zena always gives specific instructions on how to improve my dental habits, and is always very "chatty" and always inquired about family and activities, and Buck (dog), which is always fun! Update 22 Oct 22: Rylie is very professional and thorough; taking great care to verify that my pacemaker is shielded and, when this answer needed some time to verify, she reverted to doing a great job cleaning with "legacy tools"! She had the tools out and ready for either ultrasound or legacy use.

I have a mental fear of dentists. Always have and always will. However, at this specific dental care office, the staff are very in tune to this fearful/anxious feeling that some patients have like me. They really do care. I highly recommend. They cared that I was depressed and couldn't smile due to my embarrassing missing front tooth. I now can smile and am happy again. They are removing my fears of going to dentist office slowly but surely and I will now take care of my teeth after 25 years of abandonment. Thank you so much! See u at my next appt.

I wasn't going to write a review, but I decoded that feed back is important. I don't remember the previous hygienist name but she is a hard act to follow. I am not as pleased with the cleaning of my teeth with the new hygienist. She would clean a few teeth, clean the instrument, talk incessantly and I felt like she was not paying attention to cleaning my teeth. When I asked her if she could clean my teeth and talk at the same time, her response was, "why, are you in a hurry"? I was quite taken back. At that point, she paid a bit more attention to cleaning my teeth. Im sure she has many good qualities, or she wouldnt have been hired. Thank you.

I've always had a nervousness and fear of dentist. But Dr Little has been the best. His whole team in the office as well. Best dentist in my book.

All work was done efficiently and well during my 6-month checkup. When the Dental Assistant finished, Dr. Cam came in, checked my teeth, pronounced the world was good. And within 35 minutes I was out of the chair and on my home to run some errands.
