After my dentist retired, I realized how difficult it is to find a professional dentist. I got consultations from three other dentists, I left those offices overwhelmed and in tears. I am so thankful I found Ruban I have had to get some pretty intensive dental work completed. I'm so thankful I found this place. Highly recommended
