Took my daughter to get her wisdom teeth taken out and the staff was amazing along with the dentist. We felt right at home and they took great care of her. I loved the follow up call the day after to check on her. It was much appreciated.

My daughter saw Dr. Norris to have two wisdom teeth extracted and the experience could not have been better. The staff was caring and compassionate and very efficient. Dr. Norris went above and beyond to make sure my daughter was comfortable and took time to answer all her questions. If you have the opportunity to come to this office, please do!
