I've been blessed by getting to know, and be a patient of a wonderful group. People that makes you feel at home and important, no matter what your need may be. Not only a wonderful and knowledgeable Dr., but also the staff from the time you walk in, until the time you leave. (Wonderful and kind.) I'd recommend Dr. Curtis and his staff to anyone that is looking for a carring dentist. Thank you Dr.Curtis.

Today was my first visit, I was very impressed with the friendly staff. Miss Gwen gave me a tour of the facility right off. Introduce me to everyone, all smiles, I liked that. Then Dr Curtis came in and introduced himself, again I was very impressed with his down to earth attitude, liked him from the start. Checking out was extremely easy, another appointment was made and I was on my way. Very courteous and caring atmosphere. Never thought I would say this about a dentist office, but kind of looking forward to going back
