I took my 92yr old mom to get a tooth extraction. She insisted on my being in the room with her. Dr. Willey was fine with that. He was kind and very careful with my mom. She was very satisfied with Dr. Willey. Thank you!!

Such a beautiful new modern dentist office overlooking beautiful Lake Jackson . Friendly office staff, quick appointments scheduled. I had a wonderful cleaning with Taryn who did a fantastic job. Doc Wiley did a wonderfully thorough job overlooking xrays and did testing for TMJ that I have never had done before. I was very pleased with the professionalism of this office. I cannot wait to go for my next cleaning.
