I was very nervous to try a new dentist because it's been an embarrassingly long time since I've had my teeth checked out. To my surprise they made the entire experience so warming and gentle. Dr Conaway and his staff are a delight. My tooth extraction was very quick and very painless. I will be making Conaway my permanent dentist. 10/10

Dr. Conaway and his staff were wonderful. I needed an evaluation of a tooth while traveling. They got me in quickly and gave me a thorough evaluation. If I were staying in the Waveland/BSL area, Dr. Conaway would definitely be my permanent dentist.

Always look forward to catching up with the team over at Dr. Conaway's. They provide the best care and advice and always go the extra mile to ensure you know you're in good hands. I specifically recall a filling I received over a year ago after which, later that evening, Dr. Conaway gave me a call to check in and ensure all was well. Like I said... always going the extra mile.

Everyone is so positive and friendly. They get you in and out and always check on you later in the day if you had any work done. I've never felt so comfortable and at ease going to the dentist.

These people are awesome. Took me in at last minute. I didn't feel like I was being hustled for work that didn't need to be done. I was well informed on what was done and what needs to be done in the future. I'll recommend anyone to Frank Conaway and staff.
