The staff at Dental Professionals are always eager to help and stay on task. If I call to schedule an appointment or enter the building I always feel welcome. Service is always explained from a routine cleaning to a crown application so I am in complete understanding prior and during the procedure. I always recommend Dental Professionals for others for all their dental needs.

I have seen Dr. Vespa and Dr. Jacobsen, they are both amazing and do great work. The hygienists are friendly, attentive, and provide great care. All the ladies at the front desk are very professional and provide excellent customer service. I am always notified of prices up front for any procedures scheduled. Dental Professionals staff truly cares about their patients.
