Krista and Dr. Wickness took great care of me today. After a gentle, thorough cleaning, I was interested in having Dr. Wickness begin an orthodontic procedure on my teeth. He candidly told me he didn't feel comfortable doing the procedure and that he knew his limitations. I'm grateful for his honesty!

It could not have gone more quickly and smoothly. I was immediately taken to a room for x-rays and cleaning by the dental technician and an exam by Dr. Wickness. Everyone I saw was courteous, kind and helpful. A great experience!

I have had dental problems for over 55 years and I've finally found a dentist that knows exactly how to care for my teeth, and doesn't charge exorbitant fees. I've always dreaded going to the dentist because either the dentist wasn't very attentive or kind, or because I knew it would be so expensive. With Dr. Wickness, I never hesitate to call and I always follow-through with his recommendations because he is brilliant! The staff is awesome too. They have gotten to know me and I feel that they are my friends.

I was recommended to Dr Wickness by a friend and could not be happier with him or his staff. Friendly, they carefully explain options and treatment. I never feel pressed or hurried. The whole process is thorough. And they are also very timely - haven't had to wait and if they were running behind they informed me upfront. Would highly recommend.
