When you find a great dentist you stay with them. Dr. Martin and his staff provide an exceptional level of care to their patients. For someone who experienced trauma at the hands of a dentist, I recommend Dr. Martin. He makes sure you are at ease, communicates every step of the way, and makes sure you are comfortable! Make an appointment today. You won't be disappointed.

Both Dr. Martin and Shannon knew I was on a tight schedule and had to be done with cleaning and a procedure by a certain time. They worked quick and efficiently and got me out of the office right on time. Thank you!

What great people at Dr. Martin's office! The assistant was right there at every turn as my root canal was being done by the best Dentist on the WestCoast! I actually felt relaxed and knew I was in great hands! If you really want to experience the 2.0 of Denistry, then come over to the most caring professionals in town!

Dr Martin and his staff are great! Friendly folks, clean facilities, good pain management, prompt followup, and the right amount of ongoing communications all make going to the dentist as painless as possible. The level of care for a given situation always seems to be appropriate--not too aggressive/pricey and not too lackadaisical. I've been going there for four years and will continue doing so!

I hated going to the dentist, however, when I met Dr. Martin that all changed. Dr. Martin explains all procedures and is not pushy. I feel very comfortable going to the office. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Dr. Martin and his staff are an amazing team, very professional and courteous. Dr. Martin has gone above and beyond, fitting me in on his lunch for my emergency dental needs, just to ensure I wasn't in pain. His staff is very knowledgeable and professional at all times, making my dental experience as pleasant as possible. Great place and very welcoming place to go for your dental care.
