From the time I walked in the door, I felt welcomed. Karen and Wini are always so friendly. Patients really appreciate that. Madison took me back in just a few minutes of my arrival. Dr. Doughery is a super dentist. He and Dr. Dunford took really good care of me. They listened to what I wanted and surpassed my expectations. Dr. Dunford is new and is a great addition to the Professional Lane Dental family. Thank you all! Jennifer Gayle Brannan

Excellent experience! Was seen on time. Staff was extremely professional, friendly and well-organized. Felt more like a guest at a spa than a patient. Dentist did a great job. Explained everything before the procedure, which was pain-free and quick. Facility was very clean. Highly recommend this practice!!
