I was pleased with my interactions of everyone in the office. They are all always kind, courteous and very helpful. Everything was explained along the way of my treatment. It is always a pleasure to interact with everyone here. Lisa always explains what is going on and what to expect. Any concerns you may have are always addressed so that you have nothing to worry about.

I went in and needed surgery to remove wisdom teeth immediately. Dr. Higgs squeezed me in and had me a referral scheduled with a surgeon that day. The staff is friendly and diligent. I highly recommend this place.

Higgs Dental is very good scheduling my appointments to fit my schedule. Higgs Dental is very good communicating my upcoming appointment via phone call and text. Dr. Lisa Higgs and Juana are excellent in taking care of my dental needs. I love how Dr. Lisa goes over the procedure before, during, and after dental work. Dr. Lisa has proven to me very good 21st century dental expertise. My billing is pretty accurate provided by Barbara and Gina. When arriving greeted with a smile and leaving, always feel like family or well respected patient! I recommend Higgs Dental for taking care of any family's dental needs.

The best dentist office I've ever been too. It truly is like family walking in the door. They are worth the little extra travel because they take such great care of my entire family.

Staff is nice but the office could use a little updating, for example I've been watching the same old dental video on the tv in exam room for 5 years. I've heard other dentists use water pick instead of scraping tool

I rarely post a review, but I had such a positive experience at Higgs Family Dental. The office help was so welcoming and kind. Every time I spoke with anyone on the phone, they were so nice. (rare these days) I told the dental hygienist that I had never had my teeth cleaned that thoroughly! She did an excellent job. Dr. Higgs was also very warm and answered all my questions and was thorough in her exam. This dentist office was recommended to me by my neighbor, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a good dentist.
