A very comfortable dentist office. Made me feel better about what I wanted, and not try to talk me into something I don't want or need! It has taken me 6 different dentist to find a good one.

It was one of the more relaxing dental appointments. Everyone was very professional and kept me informed as to each step of the exam. I feel a great deal of confidence in the care I will receive at Dental Care of Canby. And would recommend them to anyone looking for a new dentist. Dr Nealy took time to answer all my questions

After having a fall, my daughter needed to be seen to assess tooth and gum damage. We've never been there before, but They got her in the same day we called and were super great with her. It was her first time at the dentist and even though she was scared, by the end she was smiling. The dentists both examined her and were really thorough in their explanations of possible long-term issues we might run into & what complications we might see. They referred us to a pediatric specialist who can meet her needs more specifically. And they charged me a super affordable price since she's not on our insurance yet! Thank you so much!

My appointment was for my 6 month cleaning and exam. Everything went well and Dr Neal smoothed out a ruff spot on a tooth as part of the exam. Good job all around.

I have been saving my money for a long time to get denture, l was very cautious where to get them for a reasonable price. I read a lot of reviews and decided to try Dental Care of Canby. The front office staff and Dr Neal and his assistance where excellent. They explain everything they were doing and ask if l had any questions. I will be getting immediate denture in two weeks. After my first visit went so well I will give you a follow-up comment when I get my dentures. I could not be more pleased with everyone and from the kindness and care I have received thank you.
