From the very first interaction I had with the office I had a good feeling about them. I called to get insurance information and my daughter was crying in the background, the person that was helping me said that she'd email the info to me so that I could go take care of my daughter. The little thoughtful actions like that make for great customer service and instantly made me feel good about choosing this practice to take my child to. Once we arrived at the office the great customer service continued. Everyone in the office is wonderful - from the front office staff that happily greets everyone and is beyond helpful to the doctors in back. I drive over an hour (from Indiana) to come here because I know I'm getting the best care for my daughter. I cannot say enough good things about them; so thank you, Inspire Dental, for all that you do!

I've been going to Inspire Dental Wellness ever since Dr. Erica took over the practice. I'm so glad she did. She has brought in all sorts of new equipment to make your dental experience easier. Recently I was diagnosed with TMJ. She developed and went over a treatment plan with me. I now have no pain in my jaw area and my jaw range of motion improved significantly. The staff in the office is extremely welcoming as is the waiting lounge. If you are looking for a new dentist, look no further than Dr. Erica.

Dr. Erica is awesome! I had to bring my one year daughter in to get her lip and tongue ties released. Dr. Erica and her staff were so gentle and kind and cared for my daughter in a very special way. She was so calm and respectful during our visits before, during and after the procedure that now both my husband and I go to Dr. Erica for our cleanings too! Dr. Erica and her staff are the BEST!

I just want to thank Dr. Erica and her staff it has been well over 10 plus years since I've had my teeth cleaned (out of fear). I had a dental emergency and Inspire Dental Wellness fit me in fast and also scheduled me for a cleaning. The staff was professional and made me feel very comfortable I ended up leaving with a better smile and clean teeth also booked my next cleaning. Long story short my fear is gone. Thanks again IDW!!!

Inspire Dental Wellness is HANDS DOWN THE BEST DENTAL OFFICE IVE EVER BEEN TO!! I drive 40 mins to see Dr.Erica and her staff! Everyone is so nice and makes you feel like family by knowing your first names and little details about you. Danielle made my "deep cleaning" painless and even used the Isolite (A small device that helps me keep my mouth open and keep the area dry while doing any work) which helped me feel more comfortable especially with COVID going on. She suggested a special mouthwash which was able to be purchased in the office. I also got some fillings done that day since I was already numb. Becky and Dr. Erica has the best bedside manner and although I didn't need them, I was offered headphones so I wouldn't hear the instruments, a blanket (because all offices are cold) and a neck pillow. It was like a spa! I felt very comfortable which is something I never experienced at past offices. After my fillings were done, Becky offered me a nice warm towel to wipe my face. How considerate!! If you aren't coming to see Dr. Erica and her staff idk what you're missing out!

Dr. Erica and her team are excellent. We had taken our 3 year old to two other Dentists and they both wanted to do invasive procedures. What we appreciated about Dr. Erica is that she listened to our concerns and was willing to take a more conservative approach. We felt heard instead of being talked down to. The receptionists are also very friendly and great at explaining dental benefits. For these reasons we are willing to drive over 35 min to her office.
