Everyone is so nice. April is the best Dental Tech I've ever had and I've had a lot in my 53 years. The office is clean and cheery with good music while you are being taken care of. And Dr Ferry is a wonderful and kind dentist. And I can't forget to mention Anne who runs the front desk...she is a delight. I highly recommend this office.

First of all I was told that it'd be 135$ for X-rays n consultation, in the end they did another X-ray so total was 235$ To my surprise I could be mistaken, but I distinctly recall being told on phone135$That's what I expected to pay Ann is nice in charge of office, but she won't budge, if she thinks she's right! It all worked out, I had care credit, so just charged it to that 12 month interest free! I hate dentists when they say plan plan plan, assuming we're all wealthy( I'm retired n on a budget)! So it's gonna cost over approx 1300$for 4 visits to do a cleaning for my periodontal disease, to remove tarter, n another visit yearly... 245$ She says this drs reasonable n I wanna believe that.... My teeth are in good shape dr said, solid n not moving, but cleaning n caring for gums will enforce I keep my teeth longer! Maybe this is the cost of dental nowadays... their a good office, nice people who work there!! Ann answers all questions n concerns...... I apprecciate that! I do like the old school dr n the office has good reputation, which is why I chose them.

I cannot say enough about the office staff and Dr. Ferry. They are amazing! They are so sweet and helpful. My grandmother is 87yrs-old and they wereso patient with her. They allowed me to be in the exam room with her so that Dr. Ferry could explain in detail what he saw on the x-rays and what he recommended. I really appreciate that when he is You're just saying the plan of care for the patient for the patient, he thinks about what he would do for his mother if it were her.

I am so happy to find Dr.Ferry for my dentist. He is the best Doctor I've ever met. He is going to be a my forever Doctor now on. He tried to save natural teeth instead of push me implants like all others did to me. Dr. Ferry did 4 crowns for me and another one coming. I am sooooo happy that saved all my original teeth. I am 79years old and I could loose all my teeth or implemented. I am very happy with my doctor. May God Bless Dr.Ferry! Ps: I also thank to Rebecca so much. She is a very sweet person and very knowledgeable.

Dr. Ferry does really good work, and listens to his patients. I hate having my face numbed and he was willing to do my filling without numbing. He was able to do it without causing me major pain, but he also said I was a perfect patient. Part of this might be my high pain tolerance but I think his skill was more the reason it went so well. He spent more time cleaning excess fill from my teeth than actually filling my tooth, but I was still out of the chair in under 15 min.

Very pleasant experience. I haven't been to a dentist in a long time so I was very anxious about it but Dr Ferry and Rebecca are very easy to talk to and understanding. I need some work done but they aren't pushy. They helped me figure out a treatment plan that works for me. Ann at the front is also very friendly. I enjoy the small private office feel over a corporate setting where you're just a number.
