My 7 year old son had to get a filling and a tooth pulled. He was very nervous as he had never had to have any dental work (besides cleaning) prior, but they made it a nice experience for him. Darcy talked him through the tools and what they would be doing, and was very comforting to him. Dr. Foster was also very caring during the procedure and explained what was happening in kid-friendly terms. Although getting a tooth pulled is never fun, they made it as good of an experience as possible for him. I know I won't have any issues taking him back to the dentist after this!

The Doctors and staff are always kind and friendly. They seem genuinely interested in how I am doing, which makes a trip to the dentist a pleasant and reassuring experience. I am informed but not pushed to have more work done. They even bill me for my visit after they have checked with my insurance first. They do not insist on immediate payment as some local dentists do. I have never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen. They even seem glad to see me.
