The people here are great. Very skilled and professional. Everyone is so nice. Seemed so different than any other dentist office I have been to. I really appreciate everyone that I met at Graham.

From the first phone call to Graham Dental, I was treated with respect and compassion. I was booked in a next day appointment, as a new patient, when I called at 3:30pm. Lupita, who booked my appointment and checked me out, was so lovely. Dr. Bauer and Danielle were amazing during my appointment, and Dr. Graham was great with his treatment of me and his guidance to his staff. I cannot stress hard enough what a good experience this was from a person that has been terrified of seeking dental care for 20 years. I absolutely plan to go back to them for obvious work I need done. For the first time in my life, I am actually looking forward to dental care. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

I cannot emphasize enough just how good these people are. After avoiding the dentist for 21 years due to indescribable fear, I really needed help. Patrick and Dr. Miller did an amazing job in making me comfortable, being completely certain I was pain-free, and making sure that my fear and anxiety was calmed. They are so careful and considerate to the needs of the patient. All the work these two have done so far has been top-notch and I have zero complaints. Due to the genuine care, patience, and gentle work, my wife was even willing and able to be seen here even after her dental anxieties from similar past experiences. I have had three visits here so far to begin fixing the problems I had, and have more visits scheduled. My fears and anxiety about going to the dentist is gone, all thanks to the great people at Graham Family Dental Care. If you're anything like me, and have been putting off dental care for a while, then do yourself a favor and see these guys. Again, I cannot speak highly enough about how good, kind, patient, careful, and genuinely interested in your care and dental health. You won't regret it, and your teeth will thank you (but not in a weird talking teeth kind of way).

The front office staff is amazing. The hygienist was a bit painful, but the assistants were nice. I had several issues with my teeth that I brought up and they were ignored or poorly dealt with. I switched to a new dentist and so glad I did.

I was absolutely blown away with our visit. We traveled all the way from sierra vista to have my 6 day old sons lip and tongue tie revised. Upon arrival, we were met with nothing but friendly staff and smiles. Dr. Graham came in to the room promptly and explained the procedure to my husband and I. He worked efficiently and precisely. Post procedure we were greeted by another staff member who asked if he could give my 2 year old son a balloon. We were assured we could reach out with any concerns and welcomed back the next time we were in the area. When we left the building, Dr. Graham caught us before leaving and provided me with an educational book on baby led weaning. The next day I was surprised to find that Dr. graham had texted me to assure my baby was doing well and breast feeding as Normal. He had also included some advice on breastfeeding and tongue exercises. Dr. Graham and his staff went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing visit. He truly is amazing with all his patients in all walks of life, from newborn to elderly. Best dentist appointment ever.

All of the staff are so friendly, and it's a nice office environment. I never would have thought I'd describe a dental visit as relaxing and comfortable until I came here

UPDATE: CRIMINAL NEGLIGENCE Dr. Ryder caused permanent damage that I am still working to recover from, 7 years later. When the oral surgeon said his negligent work was the cause, Dr. Ryder began calling my new surgeon and dentist, trying to cover it up. He actually had the guts to say he was surprised the surgery I needed after his screw up wasn't worse. Zero respect for HIPPA or PHI. DO NOT send your children here and DO NOT go here if you are young and do not have anyone to advocate for you or to protect you. Dr. Ryder will treat you horribly and blacklist you with other dentist who request your records if you dare speak up about it.

I hadn't gone to the dentist in almost 10 years, and I was terrified to. A friend of mine encouraged me to go see Dr. Graham. I really didn't want to, but I did it anyway. And it was such an amazing experience! It was comfortable and easy. Now I've been going there for 4 years now and I wouldn't have it any other way. The environment is most welcoming, basically a second family! I absolutely recommend Dr. Graham if you are in search for a new dentist! And the best part it is, the whole staff is hilarious. It's truly a great time.

I just left Dr. Grahams office where I needed to have a filling. It was nearly painless and was advised on what to expect. The assistant, Sabrina took note of any changes in my breathing and general demeanor. Another great visit!
