I like Dr. Burkett a lot. He is very friendly and he always squeezes in me when I have an issue with my teeth, and he doesn't try to do unnecessary dental work like some dentists do to make extra $$.

Dr Burkett has been my dentist for over 10 years. My recent visit went very well. The wait was brief and my tooth problem was resolved within a half hour! Great to see, and reassuring, that they have prepared well during this pandemic ( temperature check on arrival, masks and face shields for staff etc).

Dr. John Burkett, has been my dentist for the past 10 years. Maureen has been my dental hygienist for that same amount of time. Dr. Burkett and his staff has been the best dental office, I have been to, its always clean, everyone is friendly when you walk in even if you are not their patient. The office staff has always been professional and scheduling an appointment is always easy and they send friendly appointment reminders ahead of time.
