Very personable and makes it a point to listen and share concerns. She did not make any unnecessary suggestions for treatments. She made me feel cared for despite my own dental challenges over the years. I would highly recommend her and her team.

I have never had such a thorough exam/cleaning. Dr. Edwards took time to explain things to me and I didn't ever feel like she was trying to rush things. Samantha did a fantastic job as well with the cleaning and gave helpful pointers. The office staff was all courteous and they went above and beyond to get me an earlier appointment. This is the best dental office I've been to.

I had gone into a prior dentist and they informed me I had a dying tooth. I was set to get a root canal and cap but felt as if it was all sped up. I went into Dr. Edwards office and she gave me a better understanding of the tooth and told me a root canal would make it worse due to the type of absorption my tooth is going through. I was grateful for her knowledge and thorough examination. This is a quality practice and I will be recommending my friends and family here.

I called in November to schedule appointment because my tooth was hurting and my insurance was changing they scheduled me out several months and a week before my appointment told me my insurance was no longer accepted. I told them that I believed a tooth that they had filled was the problem tooth so they wanted to check it out to make sure it wasn't their work. I went in the front desk lady was extremely rude. I had my x-rays done and the doctor came in and told me that it was not the tooth that they fixed it was next to the tooth they fixed, then told me that she was informed they no longer except my insurance. I started to voice how upset I was, that I called in November to tell them my tooth hurt they scheduled me many months out and that they waited until a week before my appointment to tell me my insurance was no longer valid even though I had called them in November to tell them my insurance had changed ,". All the doctor Edwards could say was "insurance is your responsibility". I told her I understood it's my responsibility but they could've told me in November that my insurance was no longer excepted. So she repeated herself "insurance is your responsibility" so I told her that I would have to go find someone else to help fix my tooth and her response was "you do that"and she walked away. I would not recommend this place half the staff isn't friendly their Covid precautions are outdated and the doctor has no compassion.

I really enjoy the great service and complete explanations. Dr. Edward's clinic provides information I can use to preserve my teeth and have healthy oral habits. They are a great group of dental professionals.

First-time patient. The exam was thorough and gentle and was consistent with the recommendations of my previous dentist. Just had a number of fillings and found Dr. Edwards to be very considerate and skillfull - no pain!

My first cleaning was a good one. The receptionist was professional, yet friendly and welcoming. The exam was very thorough, and the hygienist is a great listener.

I saw Marcie today. She is the best dental hygienist I have ever had. In the past I would need numbing before teeth cleaning. She is so gentle and caring.
