Dr Matthews is by far the best dentist I have ever been to in my 56 years! He is kind, patient, understanding, gentle, very reasonable in pricing, experienced, and most importantly...... he does not push you to keep coming back and spending a ton of money on things that you don't really need...like so many others do. Thank you Dr Matthews for being so incredibly wonderful. Me and my family highly recommend Dr Matthews and his office!

DO NOT GO HERE. He will talk about politics while you are unable to do anything but suffer while he services your teeth. The entire staff is not vaccinated and are more than happy to talk about how much they hate masks and don't believe in the pandemic (without anyone bringing it up). I have multiple family members who go here who he has brought up his politics to. Have your own personal opinions but keep them out of your business. Disgusting and unprofessional.

First class as always as Dr. Mathews is a true professional. Staff are always super friendly. On a final note the hygienist who worked on my teeth did a 5 star job as without a doubt the best cleaning I have ever had.
