The staff here was incredibly welcoming. They worked me in very quickly, even as a new patient. I was seen as soon as I finished filling out the paperwork, a rarity with most places! The front desk was attentive and friendly. The dental hygienist was incredibly kind and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Wiedenman did a fantastic job, as well! They work efficiently and are very kind. They gave a goodies bag, too. I left feeling optimistic, and I'm happy to be a patient here! Highly recommend this office!

Excellent care, compassion, professionalism in a lovely downtown office! I had a crown break and "cold called" the office.....I was given Dr. C's personal cell phone number and she responded immediately while out of town and after hours! She made sure I was not in pain, etc. and was able to see me first thing Monday morning, repaired the crown, and got me on the way to receive a proper preventative care. The Dr took the time to explain everything and lay out a path forward! Thank you Dr. C!!!!! Pain free!!!
