We had a great experience with the office. The dentist is very kid-friendly and was not too aggressive in recommending procedures or services that we don't have to rush into. Looking forward to future visits with my now 7 year old.

My daughter has been seeing Dr.Dave, and Dr.Mindy for years. She loves coming here. Dr.Dave is just like a Disney Princess. Dr.Mindy is full of energy and so much fun from the moment she enters the room. Both doctors are super sweet and professional. From the moment we walk in the office the front desk girls are very professional. The office is clean and beautiful. We are always taken on time. The Hygenist's are wonderful. My daughter loves each and every one of them. You have Josanne, Simone, Theresa. You can't go wrong with any of them. If you are looking for a great dental experience I highly recommend this office.
