I have a fear of going to the dentist, claustrophobic and I have anxiety attacks. The staff was very pleasant, calming and accommodating. The dentist Dr. Acosta was extremely patient with me and reassuring. Where Dr. Acosta worked on me at, had a picture window that overlooked a pond with ducks which was beautiful and calming. And what's really great about this dentistry you can have everything done there all in one day. Thank you Dr Acosta and staff.
