Rachel is without doubt the nicest, kindest, and most talented hygienist to have assisted me in some time. Can't remember exactly how long the duration has been since my teeth have felt so clean....

I've been going to Dr Patterson for too many years to count. Though anyone can have a bad day, I've never had a bad experience in the dozens of visits and interactions over the years. Everyone is friendly and family-like.

Crown was made to fit perfectly. Dr Frank has a gentle chair side manner. As do his staff- they are all so nice! He takes the time to follow up afterwards to make sure you are ok. My dentist forever!

I have been coming to Dr. Frank for close to 25 years. You are always met with warmth and kindness from the time you walk in until you leave. They are very professional and have really gone the extra mile since the pandemic to ensure public health and safety. That's what "Family" does.
