An absolutely great dentist to come to! They are very friendly, do great work and help their clients in any and all ways possible They have their own little special place in there for your kiddos to have their teeth worked on and lots of things to keep them occupied and at ease. Their dentist and hygienists are very good with your kids. Nice clean environment. Their technology is definitely top notch . I would recommend this dentist over any others.

I bring my 2 daughters here and this last visit I felt like the staff went above and beyond!! Dr. Adam, Carly, and Morgan were all so helpful and thorough with everything they did. Carly was exceptionally friendly and respectful as my youngest daughter likes to be held in the dental chair. She worked around me and was so gentle! And Morgan gave us a brushing calendar to help my girls! Truly the best dentist office and my kids LOVE it here! They get so excited when we even drive by! Thank you all for being so wonderful!!!!
