First time ever being at Dr. Spence's practice. Everyone from the assistant to Dr. Spence were absolutely lovely and professional. He was so personable and fun. Best experience I have ever had at a dentist office by far! The whole setting is so nice and comfortable. The staff really cares about your concerns and do their upmost to deliver/suggest the best possible treatment plan fitted for you personally. Also, special shout-out to the temporary dental hygienist Katy. She was so wonderful and nice. Whoever gets her as their hygienist is very blessed!

After a visit to another dentist, I felt misled and uneasy. I have to say Dr. Spence was Fantastic. From the initial greeting, exam, to scheduling an appointment, I was nothing but impressed with Sam and his entire staff!! Thank you for an honest and straightforward assessment.

I went to a different dentist for a tooth ache, they were pushy, rushed me in and out and sent me with a laundry list of things they wanted me to get done $1000's... I decided to get a second opinion, Dr Spence was so much better! He was friendly, spent the time to discuss my needs, got my tooth ache fixed (root canal) with zero issues and honored his price. I will use Dr Spence and his team for all future dental needs!
