I love everyone at this office. From the ladies at the desk, the hygienist, and of course Dr. Horst. I actually went somewhere else for one cleaning to stay in network with insurance. That's all it took for me to know how special North River really is. It's like I went through the automatic at the other office and got a full detail at North River! Thanks for taking me back after I cheated Your patients appreciate you!
