Allan is probably the best dentist I've ever visited. His concern for his patient's comfort is evidenced through his caring staff. Although he will be retiring soon he is taking painstaking steps to make sure that his business continues to offer the same high quality standards of dentistry through his replacement.

Root canal cracked 1 month after so called finish , 7 months later had my tooth extracted, 1500, for something that should have been extracted on initial exam, alot of needless pain and unnecessary, and I won't get into a very serious issue with a family member.

Terrible experience. I called to make an appointment to pull a nasty achy loose tooth. An appointment was set for the following week, with them also trying to fit me in early in case of a cancellation. Then they called back near the end of the day to say they couldn't handle my tooth for over 2 months. I could have made an appointment at another dentist, or even had it out, if they had done their job right this morning. Be wary when working with these guys.
