Dr. Acres is just awesome. He is so gentle & didn't hurt me at all. I am so thankful he is my dentist. He has almost changed my opinion of going to the dentist.

I had an abscessed tooth. I didnt know where to go in an emergrncy. I went to Dr. Dolive's office because it had 5 stars. They took me right in. Examined me. Put me on Amoxocillin and pain medicine. That was 2 days ago and I am greatly improved and have quit taking the pain pill. The entire staff was cheerful and they made me feel better immediately. I'm going to have my teeth extracted next week and in the near future have an inlay put it. Great place. Great people. Great attitude. Great medical skills.
