The staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Dr. Sortman was very thorough and informative about my procedure I would have to go through. I have the utmost confidence that my upcoming procedure is going to be in great hands. I recommend this office for these reasons.

Was a patient of Dr. Kean for almost 40 years. was not aware that Dr. Kean has sold the practice until we had our semi annual cleaning. The first appointment went very well we were pleasantly surprised and thought we would be remain at this office. Our second semi annual cleaning the hygienist did an excellent job. However, The honeymoon ended very quickly when we had a question regarding the semi annual charges. Left a message and received a call back from a staff member by the name of Mandy. She is horrible, very unprofessional condescending and rude which caused us to seek a new dental office. Will not tolerate the level of disrespect she showed went discussing billing issues.

My bi-annual cleaning experience was very pleasant. Keisha, the dental hygienist, was knowledgeable and efficient. She had reviewed my chart and noticed I have some sensitive areas and took great care to make the cleaning comfortable. She also introduced me to power scaling and did an amazing job! Very pleased!

Dentist was very short with me. Like I wasn't in the chair. It was not Dr. Bud but since he didn't introduce himself I can't give a name. I'd never met him and commented when he walked in with, "You're new, I've not met you before". He didn't respond and spoke with the assistant who was very nice as was the person in the reception area. The dentist put my crown back on and swiftly left the assistant to finish the procedure. Sorry I disrupted your day dude!!! Apparently you think very highly of yourself.
