Dr. Johnson, was very professional and she asked that if anything was bothering me to raise my left hand which none of the others ever did that but Dr. Tony did.I don't know if she used a different kind of stuff but it really was a different experience with her to the good.

Had a crown to come off, called to schedule an appointment and expected a two week wait, but instead, I was asked if I could come in at 11. Very prompt and professional service, Dr Toney and I have known each for years and he always takes the time to chat before beginning the work. I appreciate the service and atmosphere

From the office accommodating getting in quickly to the doctors putting me at ease, everything was great. I was getting checked after an injury to my mouth. They scheduled me the next day which was the first relief. Dr. Jones was patient and clear in explaining my options. She and Dr. Toney kept me comfortable throughout the procedure and I was out quickly. Now I'm looking forward to coming back for a scheduled cleaning. Being new to the area, I was lucky to find Inspiring Smiles to take care of my teeth
