I could not have had a worse experience with Dr Kearns as a dentist. There is no interest in treating patients needs or requests, only pushing whatever expensive appliances or services she can milk your wallet for. I was sold a "treatment plan" by her that, when it was unsuccessful in treating the issues I had visited her office for, that there was no more treatment to be done and she could not help me anymore, and my money was gone. She has no interest in her patient's wellbeing, only in the bottom line. It's a very predatory practice, taking advantage of people in pain.

Dr. Janet has been my dentist for around 15 years or so. She is the best dentist I have ever had. I'm not wasting my time with anyone else.

Super friendly staff. Intown Dental was able to accommodate me the same day I called to make an appointment. I've had multiple team members call to check-in with me after my visit. Looking forward to my next visit.

I love Intown Dental Center as my locally-owned source for my dental care. Dr. Kearns and her entire staff are always kind, patient, personable, and caring of me. Brittany has been overwhelmingly helpful in scheduling my dental care, and I trust Dr. Kearns to recommend the solutions that will benefit me in the short and long-term. I always feel confident I have left their office with the right care plan.
