I had to book two fillings and the staff was able to help me out so quickly and kindly. Sheela and Dr. Amin performed the fillings so quickly. Going to the dentist is no longer the stressful event that it used to be. The entire staff here has been absolutely wonderful and welcoming to a new patient such as myself!

Truly was gentle. Molar root canal. Didn't feel a thing. Zoned out listening to a great '77 Dead show. The folks were all very positive, made sure I was comfortable. The assistant had the coolest shade of nail polish.
