This is a great Dental office and experience. The staff are very friendly and professional. I am glad I chose this office as my personal business place for dental care. I just completed my 2nd appointment for a filling and the procedure went perfectly. I was very pleased with the professionalism and friendliness of the staff and Dr. Berger. 8/18/21. I just completed a teeth cleaning with my dental hygienists Sharon. She is great to work with and did an excellent job. She is very pleasant and very attentive as well . She made sure I was comfortable during the session and very thorough. The staff were very friendly and punctual. I highly recommend this dental office!

The doctor is fantastic, my daughter had her wisdom teeth removed and she felt very comfortable and well taken care of. The staff was great except for providing misinformation with where to get her after the procedure and they sent her script to the wrong pharmacy so I had to do a lot of chasing meds around while she's in extreme pain. Very frustrating but otherwise they are great.

I needed to have major oral surgery because I am an idiot. I went to this place based on their research and their Gilbert office is close to home. From the day I walked in I was so nervous about what they would find and what they could do. Everyone was so nice and reassuring. Even the day of the surgery, they calmed me down and were excellent. I was so appreciative of what everyone did I started crying after the procedure. There is still some more left to be done but it will easy. Dr. Lilian gave me my smile and confidence back. I will be forever grateful for everyone here for that.
