Called them at 4 pm Tuesday off my insurance approved list. She couldn't tell me that they definitely took my insurance. Said insurance lady would call me in the Morning. Waiting till 11 am and Called back again. Insurance lady went on and on about how many diff insurances there are and she would have to call and make sure. I had given all Info to person the Prev day including phone number. Insurance lady made it seem like it was a big hassle to find out and went on and on about all the diff insurance out there and she wanted a copy of the front and back of my card which I only have a digital copy. Horrible service. So difficult to be seen here and was given such a hard time.

Was in a lot of pain and in desperate need of a root canal. They got me in asap and the procedure was painless. Will be going back for more dental work in the future. I highly recommend them!!!

All of the staff provided us with great customer service and dental care. Even though this is not specifically a pediatric dental, they treated my child as though it was. In a careful and patient manner, and goodie's at the end! Very satisfied, thank you!

First time here and the ladies at the front were so nice and respectful. The dentist and hygenist were great too. My whole family is going here now. I was originally here for my daughter. I mentioned I needed dental care as well and they took me in then. They happen to have a spot. Cool deal

The staff at Cruzin Dental is very professional and courteous. When I arrived for my appointment it didn't take more than 10 minutes to get called in. All the workers were doing their part to make your experience as enjoyable as possible. Overall, I had a wonderful experience and would recommend Cruzin Dental to anyone for their dental needs.

Everyone was very polite and accommodating. The dentist really took her time to work with you and answer any questions. This was our first time and she just really talked to us and asked what we wanted for our teeth. We really liked everyone we came in contact with.

Just had the best cleaning of my life! My friend recommended I come here and I'm glad I did. Everyone was so friendly. Dr. Person was knowledgeable and helped me make the best treatment plan. I have a lot of anxiety about dentists but felt comfortable here. They also got me in on my schedule with a week notice. I appreciate that more than anything.

People are great and they are very fast. Only recommendation I have, which I believe they are doing, is ensuring their system communicates with one another. I raise this because the first appt was great and there were a ton of recommendations but I feel the follow up got lost in an outdated system
