As with prior visits staff is friendly and professional. Details of what to expect during each step of the procedure is explained so there is no mystery. Dr Nam keeps you at ease as he works his magic. I had several teeth extracted and am on my way to having implants. Not fun but Dr. Nam and staff are taking excellent care of me during this process.

I really like this practice and I feared I would have a hard time transitioning after having the same dentist for over 20 years. Staff members and friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I like that Dr. Blake does the initial cleaning and then the hygienist finishes with the polishing/glossing.
