I've been going to Fuller Associates most of my life. Started there when I was a kid with Richard Fuller and now I see Steven Fuller. I love the family atmosphere at Fuller. You feel like part of the family from the minute you walk in the door and most businesses could only wish for their clients to have that feeling. I would 100% recommend the awesome and professional staff at Fuller Associates.

I have been going to Dr Fuller a few years now and was so happy to find such a reputable Dentist and hygienist so close to where I live. Very convenient! The staff are very helpful, kind and friendly. I really appreciate not having unnecessary tests and xrays at every visit like I had at other dentists, only when I have a problem. Office and patient rooms are very clean and orderly. Many thanks for all they have done for me. Donna Butler
