Everyone is very kind there. They make sure to go along with you step by step so that you know for sure what something means before making any decisions. When it comes to operations and even cleaning, they are thorough and also very accommodating! Thank you so much Murphy Dental.

My friend referred this dental office after my dentist didn't give me any other options than spending $13 in implants. After a free visit with the husband dentist, he told me that I had other options than just implants. I saw the wife for a consultation and she gave me multiple options. I never been so pleased! She has been so patient with me. She never rushed me. She even had the crown technician traveled from Dallas to her office to see me and to make sure my crowns looked perfect. I love my teeth now. And her assistant Sarah is just the best! So sweet and carrying, she knows her job really well. My mom and son are now their new patients.
