I know the reviews on here are pretty mixed, and some of my family and friends have said they've had negative experiences here, so I was a bit nervous. But my dentist and all the other staff have been super good with me and really nice!

I switched here because they are in network with my insurance at first they were ok but now all of sudden I have 8 cavities (which in my 36 years of life I've never had that many) so I went a got a couple filled and my very next cleaning visit they told me that I needed to get crowns on the fillings they had just done and expected me to pay for everything again on top of what I already paid for! They told me I needed over $10,000 of dental work done...I take care of my teeth! They did the exact thing to my sister and her kids. I also had to wait 1.5 hours in their chair one 2 separate occasions. They don't really care about your dental health they are just trying to squeeze money out of people

My experience here was the best thus far at any dentist. From start to finish everyone was helpful and they got me an appointment the same week I called as it was urgent. My favorite part of the visit was working with sunshine. She was wonderful and very knowledgeable on helping you find the best financially plan while still getting you the hep you need. I look forward to continuing getting help from them because they show me that they care of my health.

If there was a "No star" I would have choose that! Maybe because I'm Asian that why they keep in rescheduling me it was the third time I was rescheduled. Oh our hygienist is out sick, our hygienist is getting induced for her labor, now they reschedule me because the hygienist is out early. That to me is just something to do with Asian patients like me who they don't want to work on. The office manager should really look into this cus now I'm going to let the Asian community know about this place and not to come here because of discrimination! I have never in my 29 years have to be rescheduled three time in a row!

I left one earlier I was angry. I was very disappointed that no one Explained the process. I haven't had my teeth for 2 weeks and now I have to wait 2 more weeks. I'm tired of going put in public and feeling self conscious.

Amazing! I don't know where to start.. this place has been beyond fantastic from the first phone call that I made. I was looking for a new dentist after 25 years due to insurance change. They quickly got me in, and everyone was extremely friendly and good at their job! After my first appointment I was informed by a lovely lady "sunshine" who explained options for a product similar to invisaline, and we set up an appointment for the following week. I've never laughed so much at a dentist appointment and felt so comfortable! Ten stars!

I was panicking after one of the veneers I got 2 decades ago fell out, but everyone here was fantastic. Got me in the office within a few hours, with a temporary in place that feels no different than the old permanent one, everything scheduled for putting in the permanent, and on my way home in a little over an hour. I've been too worried to go to the dentist ever since I accepted I am trans and started actually living my life. It's nerve-wracking even thinking about going to in-person appointment these days. Every person here though were magnificent. From the lady I spoke with on the initial phone call, to the hygienist and dentist, to the person who scheduled everything before I left. I never for a moment felt like I was being judged, which is something I haven't experienced in person in a long time. Truly thankful and grateful for everything and everyone there.
