I recently relocated to the area and needed to find a new dentist. Dr. Rippy, Lori, and the rest of the staff were very friendly, welcoming and very thorough and professional. I am so happy to have found my new dentist. I can't wait for the rest of my family to meet them. Great Job!

I am a fairly new patient to this practice. Dr. Rippy and his staff are very professional and very nice. Today I had a crown put in. Loved the fact that the crown was made in the office and only required one appointment.

The place is immaculate! Paula, the receptionist is outstanding in that she has the combination of being professional and friendly at the same time, A hard combination to find these days! ALL of the staff are 5 star. Lorie is the hygienist that both my husband and I have for the six month routines. She couldn't be better! She is gentle and thorough. Dr Rippy has the patience of Job. I know that because he can put up with me. The dentist office is not my favorite place to visit, in fact, probably the last on the list. Yet, Dr Rippy never rushes! He takes as much time as needed not only in his work but in answering questions. We moved here five years ago from St Louis Mo where we were blessed with an outstanding dentist for 25 years til he retired. Now we are blessed with another with the same high standards. Make an appointment, you won't be sorry!
