Been going to Rich's office for 30 plus yrs I live 170 miles away now and still drive all that way one way because I don't trust anybody else.. He's not only an awesome dentist but just wonderful person... I have never had any pain or discomfort, he sees to that...And his staff is the best too... Paula should be a comedian...

We have been seeing Dr. Ray and his wonderful staff for close to 15 years ish. Love the staff and him. Gental and only does what needs to be done. He will never make you wait to get in if you are in pain. When my kids were young they actually didn't mind visiting him. Truly love all the staff but Paula just puts you at ease, Pam goes over and beyond with your insurance company.

Dr Ray has been my dentist for years and I would never want to go anywhere else. He is kind caring and a perfectionist. That is the type of dentist you want. We've moved over an hour away and still drive to see Dr Ray if that doesn't say enough I don't know what else to say
