This was the best dentist office I've ever been to. Dr. Mayer and his staff did great work and explained everything to me. There was no pressure from them to do something I didn't want done. If your considering this dentist trust me when I say you won't go wrong.

Not happy about the visit. Went for a cleaning. Was first appointment of the day. Waited 15 minutes to be taken in. X-rays were taken and a deep cleaning was recommended. I was told this had been building and was seen at last X-rays but I was not notified. I waited for another minutes and then was given a quote I wanted to look it over, they wanted me to make 2 appointments right then. No options were given and I left without the cleaning I went in for. It seemed they were pushing hard to get this done. I was also told I was not doing a good enough job with homecare. This used to be a good office, but now just seems to be a push for business.
