They are kind and understanding which for me makes all the difference. I have had nothing but great results. They are professional and truly care then add they are fun and have a great sense of humor. Can't beat them. And that is definitely coming from someone who is not crazy about a dentist appointment for any reason.

I was trying to decide between a 4 or 5 because I was once told that everyone has room for improvement but I had to give a 5. I'm a first time patient and from the phone call to my actual visit my experience was the best. You should try them the entire staff gets a 5 as well
