New patient that had not been to the dentist in almost a decade that was able to get an appointment within a week. The nicest and extremely thorough staff. Took the time to explain everything. Less than 5 minutes waiting time on both visits. Most enjoyable and stress free dental visits ever

I have been with Dr. Zym for over 20 years and have nothing but good things to say about him and his staffs. Very patient and fair Dentist and now he has a new state of the art practice now very customer oriented. My wife and I had Fillings, crowns and implants done and we would give him and his staffs a thumb up.
