Wow. What a great experience. I felt so reassured and I loved that they explained everything to me throughout. I never had any pain during my procedure. Literally hugged Dr. McKenzie when it was finished because I was relieved. Definitely go here.

Except for a rigorous amount of 17 exrays taken, it was a pretty good experience! But dont ask my anxieties. They seemed heightened a bit! I pray that is minimized greatly nexttime!

I have been a patient of Dr. Fay for several years. She is honest, thorough and professional. The office staff is friendly and accessible. All questions are answered in a way that is easily understood. We continue to have a reasonable discussion about when more work will be needed, with no push for unnecessary procedures. I highly recommend.

Had a great initial visit with Dr Cassandra McKenzie. She was professional, knowledgeable and listened to my concerns. Most important, she was gentle and I did not leave in pain or dread coming back. Looking forward to my next appointment.

Wonderful experience from start to finish!!! Everyone was very professional and courteous. I didn't have to wait to be seen, they even took me in a few minutes early. Cassandra was very caring and made sure she understood the entire picture of the trauma to my jaw and face, she even went through all the documents I brought with me. We were able to work together to find a solution I was comfortable with and provided excellent referrals for any work outside of her specialty training.
