I have been a patient of Dr. Gomez for almost a year. His staff and himself are so professional and friendly. I was so scared to go back to a dentist after my last experience with another dentist in orange. I decided to try out Nederland family dental and am so glad I did. Everyone there welcomed me like I have been a patient for years and didn't make me feel gross for not going to the dentist for a while. I love Nederland Family Dental.
