I moved to Arizona about 2 years ago and the first dentist I went to was horrible all around and messed up my teeth. My boyfriend recommended I go to Dr Shaun Gardner and I couldn't be happier!! Their whole staff is friendly, informative, and professional. Dr Gardner fixed my teeth without any issues and I didn't feel a thing! I will definitely be recommending Dr. Shaun Gardner.

Doctor Gardner went out of his way to help me during his Christmas break he came over to where I worked to help me with a bad tooth. Went way beyond the call of duty. I have been to a lot of dentist`s in my time and Doctor Gardner tops the list of being the best! Thank you
